When I first started my journey with fragrances, I did it with the intention of giving my daughter a legacy of memories. I’ve always been interested in how certain smells can evoke memories. So, I started wearing some colognes with intentions of wearing them a lot. That way when she smelled them again, she would think of me. Sounds a bit vain when I write it down. I may have messed up along the way, cause it’s pickles that makes her think of me and not the cologne.
Anyhow, I write this because of my own memories of my mother. Korean food to me is all about my mother. Who, more than a mother, shows you unconditional love? And, for a Korean mother, how more can she show love than by cooking? Now, for anyone who has tried to learn to make Korean food, it can be difficult. My mother will use a pinch of this and a dash of that. No real measurements to speak of and I need concrete measurements. Not only that, every Korean woman has their own memorized recipes!
I found and use this site that has lots of Korean recipes. They don’t always taste like mom’s cooking, but it makes me feel good and I get to pass this on to my own daughter ..
