Hand Taste

“Hand Taste is a revelation to us mortals. If Esther’s recipes were my last meals on Earth, I would die a happy man. Written by a chef, but with comforting dishes cooked at home by a generous noona (big sister figure), this book is full of Esther’s wisdom and all the small things that make food shine. Your cooking will be more intuitive, more refined, and more delicious thanks to this marvel of a book.”

 —Eric Kim

"I’ve been a fan of Esther’s cooking long before we became friends, always in awe not just of how delicious her food is, but of the clear point of view and deep heart behind everything she creates. Through her dishes and storytelling, you don’t just eat well, you get to experience the care, identity, and purpose she cooks with."—Kristen Kish

“Esther is one of my favorite chefs in America because her food is deeply personal and filled with flavor and soul. Dig into Hand Taste to hear her story and learn how she creates magic in the kitchen.”—Michael Symon

“Esther Choi tops my list of influential chefs who are currently reshaping the American food landscape. Her approach to Korean cuisine makes her cooking approachable to everyone picking up this book. Get ready for spicy, sweet, sour, and outright delicious dishes—Esther's flavors are addictive.”
