Wookwan Sunim

Wookwan Sunim Introduction to Korean temple food 2019.09.09 'Where did this food come from?'Temple food refers to food cooked to capture the original taste from ingredients usually grown in Buddhist temples or found in nature. Temple food is special even in South Korea. To meet temple food is to go beyond the act of eating and think about where the ingredients came from and how the food was made. It is to realize the preciousness of food. Right now, when so many people have much interest in the preservation of humankind and protecting nature, Korean temple food is finding its place as a cultural element as it opens up a new view into food.Wookwan sunim is an expert on South Korea's temple food. It may seem strange to see the suffix 'food expert' attached to a Buddhist nun's name, but it is not that strange when you consider in Buddhism, growing food, cooking it, eating it and cleaning up is all part of asceticism.

Surprisingly, the water vanishes in the aftermath and the coast is shifted. While wealthy members of society moved up north in fear of another tsunami, people in poverty started to settle on the new land that was previously under the sea. Thus, the city was divided into the rich Upper Neighborhood and the poor Lower Neighborhood. But this is not the only consequence: After the tsunami, animal diseases regularly broke out, which eventually led to the extinction of all livestock and cattle. Scientists then created a new animal called “the thing,” whose meat is unpalatable...
