2019 Summer Issue of ‘Koreana’ Published
Temple Food: Casting Aside Desire and Delusion
The summer issue of Koreana, the comprehensive culture-arts quarterly, has just been released. Reflecting the worldwide fad of vegetarian food and strong interest in healthy diet, the issue’s Special Features serve up a menu of stories on traditional Korean temple food, which offers its own answers to contemporary peoples’ efforts to seek out fundamental life values through food. Readers can also savor articles about Lee Jung-sung, the engineer who was called the “Hand of Nam June Paik”; the Korean ho-mi garden hoes made at Youngju Daejanggan that have become top-selling items on Amazon; and Robert Brennan, the Catholic priest who has devoted his life to the welfare of poor residents of Gangwon-do. Koreana is also available online at www. koreana.or.kr.
