This e-book is an introduction to authentic, traditional cuisine from one of the most secretive nations in the world. Having decided to learn a language quite different from the French and German he studied at university, James Wilson settled upon Korean. During the course of his studies, he struck up a correspondence with Mr Kong Ik Hyon, who was working for a publisher in Korea. Their correspondence was mainly on linguistic matters, and Mr Kong asked what kinds of books were popular in the United Kingdom. Upon learning that cookery books were very popular, Mr Kong set about collecting a wide variety of recipes. They both worked on the translation, and James organized the book. The recipes have been collected from around North Korea. Many of them are traditional dishes found throughout Korea; but these too have their own special regional characteristics. None of these recipes have been invented by chefs - all are traditional recipes, passed down through the generations. In all cases the authentic method of preparation is given. About the authorJames A. Wilson attended Hull Grammar School from April 1940 to July 1946. Higher School Certificate subjects were French, German and Music. He then studied at Manchester University for his B.A in French and German. He obtained his Teacher's Diploma, again at Manchester University, the following year. National Service as an education sergeant in the R.A.E.C followed. He then spent twenty three years in teaching, mainly in Junior schools. During his early teaching years James studied for a history degree and was awarded the B.A by London University in 1958. As James approached 50 he felt like a complete change and worked for 18 months in horticulture, but then spent the rest of his working life with mentally handicapped adults assisting their development in various capacities.
