We hosted our first ever Fall Benefit with a special Kimjang led by Hyosun Ro, creator of food blog Korean Bapsang. Who knew how long the process of making traditional kimchi really takes? Hyosun took us through the 2-day process with her expert, detailed instructions. With the 60 heads of cabbages our team prepared the day before, our guests transformed them all into kimchi – communal style – and experienced the true spirit of kimjang which brings people together! Special thank you to Hyosun Ro, Windrose Restaurant NYC, West 32 Soju, and our volunteers for a successful night! Photos: Alan Tan www.alan-tan.com

Join us for a special night of preserving the fading traditional art of kimchi-making with Hyosun Ro of Korean Bapsang as we learn from her how to make traditional pogi kimchi at Windrose Restaurant NYC. This hands-on community building culinary experience will teach you how to make kimchi from scratch that you will take home while enjoying stories of the kimjang tradition over food and drinks.

On December 15th, 2011, KoreanAmericanStory.org, in partnership with Korean American Community Foundation (KACF),  hosted an event, “Korean American Identity: Past, Present & Future” to celebrate our Korean American heritage and identity.  It was an engaging evening of discussion and live participation as we looked back at our immigration history, gauged what it means to be Korean American, and explored the changing faces of the Korean American community today.

KoreanAmericanStory.org’s Book Reading and Wine Reception was a huge success, thanks to near capacity attendance at the Korean Cultural Service. The reading, discussions, food and the wine were in abundance and there was a definite sense of excitement in the atmosphere.
