What you get

The ebook

A 34-page PDF of the thirty dishes people order for delivery and assume they can’t make: India, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. It reads well on a phone and prints on letter paper.

The Saturday email

Each issue follows one spice or ingredient: where it comes from, the stories people tell about it, and a recipe to try it at home.

Who’s cooking

I’m Phil. I grew up in Portland, Oregon, in a Korean family, in a house that was always full of my mom’s cooking and the people who came to eat it. I’ve been to more than 35 countries since, and Open Spice Box is where the recipes I bring home end up.
