"The first-ever cookbook written by a Los Angeles Koreatown restaurant owner will come from Monica Lee, who founded Beverly Soon Tofu in 1986. Though the longtime location on Olympic Boulevard closed in September 2020 (the original opened on Beverly Boulevard, hence the name), Lee and her two daughters, CJ and JJ, have been collaborating with food writer Tien Nguyen to write the history of the legendary Koreatown restaurant and share its recipes." - Matthew Kang
