About Jihyun 'Kimmy' Kim Books
The heart and soul behind Kimchi & Radish is Jihyun Kim "Kimmy", a South Korean native with a deep passion for Korean cuisine. A qualified Korean chef with many years' experience in teaching Korean cuisine, she studied Le Cordon Bleu, French cuisine at Tante Marie Culinary Academy, where she fell in love with the UK and decided to settle. Kimmy is dedicated to bringing authentic, fresh kimchi to customers in the UK. After years of disappointment with the quality of kimchi in the UK, Kimmy decided to take matters into her own hands, founding Kimchi & Radish in January 2018, stating: "My goal is to introduce great tasting kimchi to customers and replace the bland, factory-packed versions that flood supermarket shelves."
