One reason I love visiting with my friend Bob is that he inspires me and motivates me to cook things that I love to eat. When we were roommates, many years ago, we used to concoct all kinds of things together, and he always seemed to bring out my creativity in the kitchen. Certainly it’s true that cooking with (and for) others is much more fun than cooking by myself, which is why I almost never cooked anything elaborate in Korea.
So, Bob motivated me to make something I often crave: borsht.
