ABOUT THE AUTHOR & THEIR BOOK:

Clara Lee is a chef and co-founder of Korean American food company, Queens. She is originally from New York and has been living and cooking professionally in San Francisco since 2015. Clara delights in making food that is nostalgic, simple, and inspired by family, drawing her culinary creativity from her favorite farmer friends. 

Eddo Kim is a former educator and grant writer, and currently co-founder of Queens, a Korean American food company. He previously founded and ran an international education nonprofit for a decade before moving to San Francisco and transitioning into the food industry.

Clara Lee and Eddo Kim are the co-founders of Queens, a San Francisco-based food company creating traditional Korean pantry ingredients using locally sourced ingredients. Queens originally started as a specialty Korean grocery offering artisanal goods and thoughtfully produced ingredients curated from Korea, alongside freshly prepared Korean foods made with seasonal, locally grown produce. It later expanded to include an all-day cafe and in-house product line of packaged foods. Their products can now be found at markets and grocery stores across the country. 

Their work has been featured in the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Bon Appetit, Forbes, and more.
