A moving story about transracial adoptee learning to cook the food of her ancestors
When Emily Minji tastes recipes from her friends' cultures at a school food festival, she realizes she doesn't know what flavors Koreans favor. As a South Korean kid adopted to the Midwest United States, she has grown up eating Dad's German chocolate cake and Mom's Swedish meatballs. But what did her ancestors eat? So she heads to the library to seek out books about Korean culture and discover the food that's missing from her life. Armed with a new recipe, she's on a mission to make a dish that will finally fill her belly--and her heart. Maybe tasting kimchi will tell her if her insides are as Korean as her outside and connect her to the family she longs to remember.
A poetic and empowering transracial adoption story about an adoptee's experience of cultural and ancestral loss--and the power of reconnection through food. This story was created with care and sensitivity by two Korean American transracial adoptees.
Back matter includes an author's note about the Korean disapora and her personal experience as an adoptee. Plus, a kimchi recipe will encourage readers to try making the tangy, spicy dish at home!
