As might be surmised from its title, Penelope Oh's 21st Century Kimchi aims to bring this treasured traditional food onto the world stage and into the modern era—and, by and large, it succeeds. Part cookbook, part memoir, part manifesto, 21st Century Kimchi provides a few of the old-fashioned recipes that are more-or-less obligatory in a book about this funky foodstuff. For the most part, however, Oh's focus is squarely on the new and unexpected. Using a mixture of Korean and global ingredients, Oh proposes ways to "kimchi-fy" such far-flung produce as beetroot, pumpkin, and even pineapple. Add to this the host of quirky recipes made with kimchi (including a "Desserts" section), and Penelope Oh's book offers nothing less than a reinvention of this cherished vegetable dish.
