As a child growing up in South Korea, 71-year-old Yoo Jung Im recalls watching her mother make kimchi in awe and fascination.
“My mother was a very good cook. When I was little, she used to make kimchi for me, and by the time I was 11, I was sitting next to her and making it with her. So that is how I gained an interest in cooking,” she says.
