The rich culinary delights of the Korean peninsula are one of the highlights of the region, and the Korea Foundation has long recognized the need for a book about Korean food. The "Korean Food Guide in English", a product of three years of work by numerous collaborators, is intended to help foreigners and Koreans alike to better understand Korea's food culture and feel more confident about ordering food in Korean restaurants. The book will also help Korean restauranteurs in and out of Korea to prepare menus in a more standardized and appealing manner.

This guide consists of over 800 terms for traditional and modern Korean foods in English and French. Each dish is presented with a brief description of the cooking method. A total of 20 specialists worked in joint cooperation with the Foundation to produce this book, ranging from professors of linguistic and informational science to experts in the food and restaurant business. With appreciation for their earnest efforts, the Korea Foundation hopes that this guide will illuminate the world of Korean cuisine and help promote Korea's image abroad.
