Congratulations are extended to Rotary/One member Soyearn Yoo for her newly released book, "Korean Kitchen". Written with Junghwa Yoo and released in May.
"As the interest in Korean cuisine is getting higher than ever, this book is appropriate for readers who are looking for easy guidelines on cooking enjoyable dishes. The book offers nine chapters on appetizers, salads, meats and seafood, soups and stews, rice dishes, noodles and rice cakes, side dishes and desserts.
The creative recipes were developed and studied by author Yoo So-yearn and her daughter-in-law. Yoo has lived in Chicago for 35 years and thus has plentiful know-how with which to fuse Western and Korean tastes to better appeal to gourmets from various nationalities. Written both in English and Korean, the book introduces alternative ingredients, spices, herbs and sauces to help foreigners easily cook in their own countries. One sees the author venture to put butter in soybean tofu stew to get rid of its smell."
Several ROTARY/One members are mentioned in the book. Jane McDonald's first report from Togo is available. Jane, ROTARY/One member and past director of the board, has volunteered for two years with the Peace Corps. For her report, Jane McDonald - Togo Report 1 John Kenny, new RI President, speaking at the Rotary International Convention suggests that local clubs place emphasis this next year on water, illiteracy and education, health and hunger, and a special emphasis on vocational projects. * * *
