What happens when Korean flavors meet Southern comfort food? Our guest Cynthia Christensen of But First We Brunch knows exactly how magical this combination can be.

Growing up in a household where kimchi shared fridge space with cornbread, Cynthia learned early on that the best meals happen when different food traditions come together. We talk about growing up between two rich food cultures, how to introduce Korean ingredients into your everyday cooking, and why brunch became her culinary calling.

Cynthia shares practical advice for anyone curious about Korean cooking, plus her thoughts on adapting family recipes for modern kitchens. See show notes at www.passingtheplate.org/65.
