And I’m very old, so that’s saying a lot.” – Randall Park, Korean-American actor and comedian “Korean Instant Pot Cookbook is the cookbook I’ve not-so-secretly been pining for these last few years since the appliance’s popularity has taken off. Selina and Nancy provide a rich resource of delicious Instant Pot-friendly Korean home cooking favorites that help make notoriously laborious classic dishes easier to execute and enjoy more regularly in our busy lives. I have no doubt this will be a go-to guide for me and anyone else with an interest in Korean cuisine.” – Hana Asbrink, food writer, recipe developer, and former executive editor of Chowhound “As a busy farmer, this cookbook is perfect for me.
