Where does a great recipe come from? For Kay Chun, it’s all about inspiration. And to a lifelong New Yorker, inspiration is all around. Drawing from a global pantry of ingredients—the Korean influences she grew up with and the many flavors that have shaped her—she shares fresh yet familiar dishes the whole family will love in her debut cookbook, Gather Around My Table.
In her conversation with Eric Kim, Kay Chun will discuss her career and her debut cookbook.
