Taste Korea

Korean Recipes with Local Ingredients

Ae Jin Huys

An accessible way of getting to know Korean cuisine

70 healthy and delicious recipes

With ingredients that can be found at your local grocer

What makes Korean food so flavourful? The secret is in the ‘jangs,’ the sauces that for thousands of years have formed the foundation of Korean cuisine. Jang is made using soybeans, that are fermented into soy sauce (ganjang), soybean paste (doenjang) and chili paste (gochujang). These flavourings ensure a rich palate of tastes and have a positive effect on health.

In 2019, Ae Jin Huys introduced us to kimchi, a Korean type of fermented vegetables. In this book she shows us how you can use different jangs as flavouring. For example, the butter with your potatoes with a jang. It will change your dish completely.

In 70 accessible recipes – with ingredients easily found in the local grocery store – the jangs make your everyday food more healthy and delicious in the blink of an eye. The best of both worlds!

The South Korean Ae Jin Huys has been serving Korean cuisine for years in pop-up restaurants, events and workshops with her food concept Mokja. Together with her husband she often travels to Korea to get inspired.

You can get started straight-away yourself with the clear step-by-step instructions and six chapters with their own colour theme, offering 40 of Marieke's favourite mood pieces for inside and outside.

The 90s Huis van Alijn

The nineties are back!

A trip down memory lane from tamagotchi to The Spice Girls and from the internet to the mobile phone

Features several themes, such as consumerism, beauty ideals, counter reactions and technology

The era between the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 and the attacks on the Twin Towers in the USA in 2001; that’s how the nineties are defined in this book. But also as the era in which girl and boy bands were all the rage, half of the youth walked around in Buffalo shoes and the other half with Dr Martens and we all watched Friends. Besides that it was also the era in which the internet and the mobile phone changed the way we communicate and look at the world forever. The 90s is a nostalgic trip down several themes, among which are consumerism, beauty ideals, counter reactions and technology.

Web een groeiend aantal computergebruikers wereldwijd. Toch staat het internet nog in zijn kinderschoenen.

Doelloos surfen op een beperkt aantal websites of uren doorbrengen in een cybercafé is vooral een leuke hobby. De meesten gebruiken de pc alleen als tekstverwerker of voor spelletjes. De fax blijft een voornaam communicatiemiddel.

Voor opzoekingen zijn de Gouden Gids of een encyclopedie nog niet weg te denken uit de meeste huishoudens. Het grote nadeel is dat het geheel aan websites nog onoverzichtelijk en moeilijk doorzoekbaar is. Dat verandert in 1998 wanneer het bedrijf Google een algoritme ontwikkelt dat zoekresultaten logisch structureert. Eind jaren 1990 groeit het aantal surfers.

Jonge, ambitieuze internet- of dotcombedrijfjes spelen hierop in. Ze hopen op winst. De doorbraak van het internet heeft onze verhouding met afstand, kennis- en informatiedeling drastisch veranderd.

Het Huis van Alijn is a museum of daily life from the 20th century onward located in Ghent.

The 10 Life Lessons of a Hiker

Dorien Draps

Dorien Draps is the figurehead of a new generation of hiking enthusiasts

Beautiful edition with inspiring illustrations

With tasks, questions for reflection and meditation exercises for on the road

Dorien Draps is not the textbook example of a seasoned hiker. She is a young, female copywriter, and on top of that she lives in the city. Yet she lost her heart to hiking and the whole philosophy of life that comes with it. Because outside is better than inside.

In this book, she brings her ode to walking, averse to the well-trodden paths. A combination of philosophical stories, scientific insights and personal anecdotes that are both compelling and entertaining. At the centre are the ten greatest life lessons that walking can teach you, from rediscovering your wild instincts to learning to look at nature in wonder again, or get a crash course in praying with your feet. Each time complemented with concrete tips, beautiful illustrations and exercises to get into the walking flow. For both experienced hikers and enthusiasts who have only just (re)discovered hiking.

Dorien Draps discovered the power of hiking and being in nature a few years ago. She wanted to share those benefits with everyone, so she founded blog and podcast Op Wandel, which won her the Blog Award in 2022. In the meantime, Op Wandel grew into a professional platform with courses to get out and about well-prepared, safely and independently.
