"Umma offers a jaw-dropping master class on Korean home cooking brought to you by a mother and daughter duo whose passion for Korean cuisine comes second only to their devotion to each other. You will love this book and fall in love with the women who made it."
—Joanne Molinaro, creator of The Korean Vegan
“This book is a joyous, technique-driven tribute to the food of Korea. It is packed with intimate vignettes of tradition, wisdom, and loving recipes passed down from mother to daughter. Though some of the dishes come with a long list of ingredients and steps, the recipes are never overwhelming. In fact, it feels as if Umma is right there, guiding you every step of the way.”
—Clarissa Wei, author of Made in Taiwan: Recipes and Stories of the Island Nation
“It's as if Sarah and Nam Soon (who feel like my cousin and auntie) came over to our house bearing the most precious gift: a brilliant torch, lit by generations of Korean culinary tradition, hard work, and wisdom. Because of the Ahns’ passion and dedication, now all of us have the opportunity to spread the love and warmth of Korean culture and to learn how to keep the torches lit in our homes for generations to come.”
—Randy Lau, creator of Made with Lau
"Umma is more than just a cookbook—it’s a beautifully woven tapestry of love, tradition, and cultural heritage. Sarah Ahn brings her mother’s warmth and wisdom to life through recipes that are as much about family and connection as they are about food. This book is a must-have for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the heart and soul of Korean cooking."
—Brendan Pang, cookbook author and two-time MasterChef Australia contestant
