Over the next four decades, the store became the country\u2019s largest international supermarket chain, known for its kaleidoscopic pantry aisles, frozen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2023\/08\/17\/this-creamy-and-decadent-baked-seafood-dish-is-the-perfect-meal-for-a-dreary-rainy-night\/\">seafood <\/a>and neatly packed containers of banchan.<\/p>\n<p>This fall, H Mart is offering shoppers a guide to what they might do once they get everything home.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Stacey Kwon\u2014Il Yeon Kwon\u2019s daughter and the company\u2019s current president\u2014\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hachettebookgroup.com\/titles\/stacey-kwon\/h-mart-the-cookbook\/9781648293382\/\">H Mart: The Cookbook<\/a>\u201d contains more than 75 recipes, including spicy cucumber salad, stir-fried sweet potato noodles and cheese buldak kimchi bokkeumbap, her particularly exuberant form of cheesy kimchi fried rice.<\/p>\n<p>The recipes are interspersed with stories from Kwon\u2019s childhood in the store and illustrated spreads devoted to ingredients such as seaweed and tofu, explaining their varieties, particular virtues and best uses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe created this cookbook as a resource to help you find your way through the aisles and back home to your kitchen,\u201d Kwon said in a release. She hopes the book will encourage readers to make Korean ingredients and techniques part of their regular cooking\u2014and to arrive at the store with a slightly more adventurous grocery list.<\/p>\n<p>Like H Mart itself, Kwon writes, the cookbook is intended both as an introduction to Korean cooking and as a point of connection for second- and third-generation Korean Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cH Mart: The Cookbook\u201d will be published Oct. 6 by Artisan Books.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<hr>\n<section>\n<h2>Recipes<br \/>\n            Related Topics            <span><br \/>\n                &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;            <\/span><br \/>\n        <\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section data-post-id=\"902548\" data-terms=\"brief,cookbook,h-mart\">\n<h2>Recipes<br \/>\n        <span><br \/>\n            Related Articles        <\/span><br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div>\n        <template><br \/>\n            <a href><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/app\/themes\/salon\/assets\/img\/salon-placeholder.webp\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"recipes Salon placeholder\">\n                    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                <span><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a><br \/>\n        <\/template>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2026\/07\/23\/h-marts-new-cookbook-begins-in-the-grocery-aisle\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recipes Recipes Written by H Mart president Stacey Kwon, the book pairs 75 Korean recipes with ingredient guides and family stories Published July 23, 2026 12:58PM (EDT) The grand opening of the new H Mart in Westminster, CA ( MediaNews Group\/Orange County Register via Getty Images ) The H Mart story starts with cabbage.
