I’m obsessed! I made the spicy squid recipe as my Facebook cover photo lol... Something so simple like these books has lifted my spirits. My husband hasn’t heard me laugh at anything in a long time until these books arrived. Make sure you get all the books because if you read one you will for sure buy the others anyway 😉 This collection should be called “kimchi for the soul” piggy-backing “chicken soup for the soul”. I’m ordering a towel but I love them all and can’t decide which one I want to order first...☺️ Super great experience ordering from them as well.

So cute. Smaller than I thought, but love how much work was put into it. Love it, will make a great gift to my boyfriend who used to live in Korea and recently went vegetarian.

About
Simple Ingredients. Complex Flavor.
In April of 2014, we (Choi and Eric) collaborated on a comic recipe book entitled, Korean / American: Everyday Cooking. In it, we explored our relationship, our recipes and our cat. Under the collective title of Porkbelly Comics, we continue to creatively explore those things that make it all worthwhile – food and family. We print, fold and bind the books at our home in Los Angeles, with little to no help from our fat cats - Moo, Squirrel and Ghost Quentin.

Frequently asked questions
How Big Are Your Books?
Since the release of our first book - "Everyday Cooking" - on April 5th, 2014 at MoCCA '14 the most frequent question we have received concerns dimensions. The exact measurements are 4.25 x 5.5 inches - or just a little bit bigger than a postcard or large envelope. As a result, we don't call them actual cookbooks. Attempting to create a full meal from scratch using the recipes is entirely possible - but could be tough due to the scale of the images. We tend to view our comics as a celebration of the food, the fun and the culture we enjoy rather than a fully illustrated instruction manual. Many cooking comics employ this same approach, but we like to state it outright for our customers. We hope this information helps!
How Long Has Porkbelly Comics Been Around?
We've recently had a few customers wondering how long we have been in business together / our history. While our Etsy store was established in fall of 2014, Choi and I developed our first cooking-comic - Korean / American: Everyday Cooking in March earlier that year, while still living in Brooklyn. Our first run of 100 books was sold out at MoCCA (Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art) Fest in April '14. Additionally - for everyone who has asked if there is any connection - Robin Ha (author of Cook Korea! - A Comic Book With Recipes released in 2016) was one of our very first customers that day, so sorta? ;)
But since then we've done our best to put out at least one book a year - in between visiting all the awesome food joints in LA!
How Does Shipping Work With You Guys? Anything I Should Know?
We strive to get shipments out before or on the scheduled due date. If we are unable to fulfill the order in a timely manner, we will contact you and inform you of any problem in advance. If any complications should arise once the order has been shipped, we will do everything in our power to rectify the situation, send out a new order or offer you a partial or full refund. All orders are sent via USPS unless otherwise specified.
International orders generally take longer to arrive than domestic depending on when and how you placed your order. During the holidays, these times can double. If you have a specific date in mind, such as a holiday, birthday or anniversary please let us know before you place your order and we'll make it happen!
