What particularly caught the eye was IU’s recommendation. After reading Park Jun-myun’s book first, IU shared the special feelings she had while reading it, saying, “Strangely, I feel as though I’ve taken one step closer to Park Jun-myun through a single cookbook.” She went on to mention Park Jun-myun’s distinctive, freewheeling recipes and essays, saying, “It’s called Recipes for the Shy, but thanks to this book, I’ve actually become a little less shy around my senior colleague. It’s a strange and tender experience.”
