Behind the Historical Korean Food in ‘Pachinko’ on Apple TV+ | Eater

"Served as the authoritative culinary consultant for the production, supplying deep historical and practical knowledge to make period food scenes authentic. The academy advised on seasonality, class-based differences in ingredients and preparation, appropriate cookware and serving ware, and which varieties of vegetables and fruit would have been available in earlier decades. Staff trained actors in traditional skills—starting a fire, cooking and cleaning rice and vegetables, and kimchi-making—and facilitated hands-on learning with a champion kimchi maker. Their guidance shaped menu planning and prop choices so each dish, utensil, and technique matched what the family at the story’s center could realistically have used at a given time." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
