Idk if we've talked about this before but I just got this cookbook and hoo boy..

Recipes look amazing but the stories about the authors parents escaping from North Korea are actually insane and just next level. Like her grandpa actually worked for the Japanese imperial army??? Wtf? Like ya I get why that family wouldn't feel welcome in the DPRK. And the story about the mom almost getting drowned but being saved by an American gi with a Hershey bar is like straight out of a military edited Hollywood plot. Plus timelines don't even add up they try to imply the mom was starving as a child in North Korea but she was obviously in South Korea by then.

Anyways I just wanted some damn good vegan food but now I'm mad
