Hello,

my name is Hae Guk. Hae Soup

to non-Koreans.

I am the daughter of two families, a first generation Korean immigrant, an adopted child whose story was rendered nearly forgotten.

This is my home and these are my life’s recipes.

Welcome.

I hope my stories invite you to taste all the complex, rich, unsavory, bitter, sweet flavors of my life, and that they too nourish you, as we journey together towards remembering.

천천히 먹어요 // Eat slowly, eat with care.
