Named a Must-Read Cookbook of Fall 2025 by SaveurJoanne Molinaro, author of the New York Times Bestselling and James Beard Award Winning Korean Vegan Cookbook, returns with fresh new dishes with Korean twistsJoanne Molinaro is everyone’s favorite storytelling vegan cook. On her platform, The Korean Vegan, she’s known for her personal narrative voiceovers, which accompany mouthwatering videos of her making everything from Kimchi to Korean-inspired pasta dishes. Whether it’s a reflection on her relationship with her father over a plate of noodles or a story about learning to love her body as a marathon runner while she bakes dessert, Joanne is always making deep connections with her followers through food. Now, in The Korean Vegan: Homemade, Joanne offers the recipes that she makes most often at home. As Joanne likes to say, she loves to “veganize” Korean cuisine and “Koreanize” everything else.  This book is a tribute to all the culinary inspirations that have shaped her cooking over the years and incredible flavors they have created. A memory about learning to repurpose leftover rice from her grandmother Hahlmuhnee results in Fried Rice Waffles; a question from her father leads to Joanne learning to make his childhood favorite noodles, Janchi Guksu; her Pesto Tteokbokki combines her husband’s Italian roots with her own; and her love of savory snacks and kimchi helps invent Buffalo Kimchi Artichoke Dip. With her stunning signature photography and tips for building a Korean pantry, Joanne celebrates the magical connections between family, home, and food.

From Joanne Lee Molinaro, author of the New York Times bestselling and James Beard Award–winning The Korean Vegan Cookbook, a searing memoir about womanhood, intergenerational healing, and resilience‘May this extraordinary woman inspire you to think more deeply about your own story—and the indelible power inherent in sharing it.' Rich RollJoanne Lee Molinaro's award-winning recipes have always told stories of food, family and home, all beginning with three women: Joanne, her mother, and her maternal grandmother. Part of a Korean family that came to the United States in the shadow of war, their three narratives speak of love, survival and transformation.From suburban life in Chicago’s Ktown during the 1980s to Ongjin, Korea during the Japanese occupation during the Korean War, Joanne brings to life her suburban upbringing, the church community, the sense of belonging it provided, and her journey to find the courage to leave an abusive marriage, interwoven with the extraordinary lives of her grandmother and mother, and the intergenerational strains of being caught between two cultures.Through this beautifully entangled web of experiences, Seven Princesses celebrates women existing in the most precarious of circumstances, and tells a story that keeps repeating itself across the generations: one about a mother who gives up nearly everything for her daughter, and a daughter who spends the rest of her life trying to prove that she was worth it.
