Description
Book Introduction
“I think this is a book you absolutely must read before you die.
“Because it keeps me from putting off the important task of sharing dessert with my loved ones.” - Isul-ah (author)
Golden Joy: Pancakes Were There in Life's Good Moments
You probably remember the excitement you felt as a child when you found a bag of "Hotcake Mix" written in large letters in your kitchen.
"Today's Pancake" is a collection of essays that unravel the warm memories surrounding pancakes.
At the same time, this book is also an archive book for the "pancake lover" who is willing to go anywhere in search of pancakes, collect pancake goods in the "Pancake Hall," and wait for the best pancakes.
Starting with the paper on naming pancakes, Schrödinger's pancake theory that you can't know until you flip them, and how to make the perfect pancake (Chapter 1), through the 'pancake journey' where you board a train to eat delicious pancakes or share a table with ChatGPT (Chapter 2), and making vegan pancakes, and memories of pancakes that have shared both the joys and sorrows of life, like birthday pancakes (Chapter 3)...
It's full of my love for pancakes.
Every day, like pancakes, becomes a new driving force that changes life into something 'good'.
For those who know the 'golden joy' of freshly baked pancakes, we recommend 'Today's' pancake.

Into the book
Language also tends to depend on conventions and context, so it may be that the expression with more examples is more accurate.
I looked up the number of Instagram hashtags to see which words people use more often.
As of the time of search, 28,000 posts were found for #hotcakes, 78,000 for #pancakes, 88,000 for #hotcakes, 476,000 for #pancakes, 11,000 for #hotcakes, and 24,000 for #pancakes.
--- p.18
Meanwhile, the signifier 'hotcake' indicates its status.
Unlike other cakes that are kept refrigerated and eaten cold, hotcakes are served warm, and the virtue of hotcakes is that the butter on top melts away.
Add to that the minority opinion that calls it a griddle cake, and it's hard to imagine this cake being anything but warm.
But it is truly imperfect to rely on a temporary and changeable state for its definition.
For example, what if the leftover pancakes cool down? What if the butter on them doesn't melt anymore?
--- p.19
Ultimately, in order to fix the pancake in quantum superposition on Schrödinger's frying pan in a state of success, we must try to flip it over, even at the risk of failure.
And even if the success or failure is somewhat visible to the eye, it is not over yet.
To fully enjoy the golden joy, you must put it in your mouth and savor the taste of ecstatic success.
Even if it is actually undercooked or burnt, you can turn it into success by tasting it.
--- pp.44-45
I've been sparing no expense with this space for a while.
Of course, I frequented this place on a daily basis with my close colleagues, but also on the day I celebrated my younger sibling's quick promotion, on the day I told a blind date I really liked that I would buy them dinner, on the day my little niece, who was obsessed with playing princess, came to visit in front of the company, or even on days when I just wanted to be happy without any special events. I used to visit here often, and I would invite people I liked whenever I had the chance.
Sharing good things with people I love was the only joy that got me through difficult times.
--- p.97
"But don't even those minor flaws feel like part of the meal's overall warm experience?" Ah, with those words, typical of someone who always sees the merits of a subject first, Piltak's free plan capacity was up.
When I saw the notice that I could not talk to him again until 10:04 PM, I was about to pay, wanting to talk to him more during this rare outing, but I hesitated for a moment.
Who pays their friends to go to a pancake house together?
--- pp.105-106
In those generous people, I see the heart of my father who wanted to buy us cheesecake when we were young, and the neighbors and family on the 9th floor who always wanted to share good things when they first encountered them.
Good intentions don't always lead to good results, but looking back, good memories are piled up thickly like pancakes.
If we keep putting in the effort and mustering up the courage to share the good things with each other, won't we all come together to create the world's best pancakes?

Publisher's Review
Nam Seon-woo's humor and affection:
The power to summon your most precious being here and now
“Nam Seon-woo is a master of small stories.
As author Lee Seul-ah's recommendation states, "It's truly enjoyable to confidently read the sentences of a small person, and Nam Seon-woo's humor never gets old no matter how many times I read it," the author depicts a small but "absurdly serious" pancake journey in "Today's Pancake."
His curious declaration that “everything in the world has its own world, and there are more than enough stories to fill a book” shows the attitude of someone who looks at the world with loving eyes that are full of details.
Nam Seon-woo's humor and affectionate sentences, which were passed down to readers through "Anyway, Morning Drama" and "Drama is the World," can also be found in "Today's Pancake."
His writing style makes readers smile, and the life he tells us is worth living with anticipation, like waiting for a pancake that's golden brown all over.
Because no one knows the outcome until it's overturned, the circuit of hope continues to turn today, and difficult times pass without a hitch as we share good things with people we love.
The attitude of giving and receiving good things from each other with courage makes us live today positively and makes us live well.
In the sense that when you discover delicious food, you think of someone you want to eat it with, “talking about taste is actually talking about longing.”
After reading 『Today's Pancake』, you will feel a strong desire to share a warm pancake with your loved one.
Nam Seon-woo's humor and affection summon the most precious being to the here and now.
*Step 1: It tastes better when eaten warm
Pancakes are a common snack eaten at home.
Nowadays, you can find pancakes made with advanced techniques, such as soufflé pancakes, at various dessert cafes.
Is the familiar "it" called a hotcake or a pancake? Or rather, a pancake? From naming it, to Schrödinger's pancake theory, which you can't know until you flip it, to how to make the perfect pancake.
Let's build a theory to help you understand pancakes, something we were familiar with because they were on our frying pans at home, but we knew nothing about!
*Step 2: A Journey to Find Fun Pancakes
Are stacked pancakes topped with a dollop of butter all you know about pancakes? There are pancakes topped with stir-fried meats, vegetables, and cheese, pancakes with six different flavors of butter, pancakes drizzled with maple syrup and served with fried chicken, and soufflé pancakes that are only sold ten a day…
The author travels to Seoul, Incheon, Gangneung, Jeonju, Daegu, Jeju, and other places to find fun and delicious pancakes.
If you're a reader who wants to apply theory to practice, let's set out with this book!
*Step 3: What I like tells me who I am.
The variety of pancakes in the world seems to show how different our existences are.
Just as what I like tells who I am, pancakes are more like a person's history.
Pancake stories that converge on 'me', such as making vegan pancakes, collecting pancake goods, and birthday pancakes, illuminate how a person's tastes and memories shape their life.
When we put our hearts into each other, take courage, and share good things, the best moments will come.
Now, let's bake some pancakes that only you can enjoy today!
