Hello there! My name is Sonja and I run this little website.
I moved back to the US in 2013 after living in Seoul, Korea for five years. I started this blog in response to the extreme reverse culture shock I experienced upon moving back to DC and the homesickness I felt for Seoul.
I hope to share what I’ve learned about good eating from my time in Korea and traveling Asia. I focus on simple, fresh recipes that are influenced by my Korean heritage and experience as an expat in Seoul which inspired cooking recipes from home.
If you have any questions, you can email me at sonja@gingerandtoastedsesame.com.
