Making Korean barbecue at home sounds intimidating, but we promise it isn't as hard as it sounds.

Atlanta-based author and social media star Seung Hee Lee talked with AJC food writer Wendell Brock this week about recipes from her new cookbook, "Everyday Korean: Fresh, Modern Recipes for Home Cooks."

The idea behind the book is “to introduce Korean flavors to everyday home cooks in America,” Lee says. “Americans know a little about Korean food. They know what kimchi is, but if you grab someone in the middle of Mississippi and start talking Korean food, they won’t know where to start.”

Check out her recipes for Grilled Korean-style Beef Barbecue, Kimchi Slaw, Ssamjang and Gochujang Sour Cream here,

Want some more inspiration? Bill Kim's recently released cookbook "Korean Barbecue: Master Your Grill in Seven Sauces" includes recipes for traditional dishes including Korean BBQ Skirt Steak and Gochujang Sticky Chicken Drumsticks and the more unexpected such as Korean Baba Ghanoush and Lemongrass Chicken Egg Salad.
