About coo K food

🎯Our Mission

coo K food was created with one simple goal: to make authentic Korean cooking accessible to everyone around the world. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a curious beginner, we provide clear, step-by-step recipes so you can enjoy the rich flavors of Korean cuisine right in your own kitchen.

📊Our Recipe Sources

The original recipes on coo K food come from Food Safety Korea (식품안전나라), operated by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of South Korea. Many come from the ministry's low-sodium and healthy-eating recipe programs, so they often use less salt and sugar than typical versions. They are provided through the Korean government's open data initiative and used under the Korea Open Government License (KOGL) Type 1.

✍️How We Prepare Each Recipe

Each recipe has been individually translated and edited from the Korean original. For every recipe we:

• keep the exact ingredient amounts from the source and group them the way Korean recipes do (main ingredients, sauce, garnish);
• explain Korean ingredient names in English, with the Korean term alongside so you can find them in a Korean grocery store;
• estimate servings, prep and cook times and difficulty from the method itself;
• keep the original step photos and per-serving nutrition facts where the source provides them;
• leave out recipes whose source data is incomplete or inconsistent instead of guessing.

Our Korean Pantry Guide is explains the ingredients these recipes rely on. Spotted a mistake? Please let us know through the contact page.
