Umma – A Korean Mom's Kitchen Wisdom and 100 Family Recipes is a New York Times bestseller that invites readers to learn Korean cooking alongside social media personality Sarah Ahn as her umma (mother) passes down more than 100 family recipes and decades of kitchen wisdom.
The book blends the emotional intimacy of family conversations with practical culinary advice shaped by Nam Soon Ahn's lifetime of experience in the kitchen. Recipes are framed by mother-daughter dialogues that are humorous, profound, and universally relatable, and all dishes are backed by the recipe-testing expertise of America's Test Kitchen.
The book includes a thorough ingredient guide that walks readers through a Korean grocery store with a Korean umma, offering in-depth guidance on pantry staples, fresh produce, and proteins to buy; a range of recipes both traditional and contemporary – from simple banchan, various types of kimchi, and foundational stews to an assortment of yasik (midnight snacks) and inventive desserts; and kitchen wisdom passed from mother to daughter, with shared confidences that reveal a level of family intimacy rarely seen in cookbooks.
