Su Scott is a Korean-born food writer living in London. In October 2019 she won the Best Reader’s Recipe category at the prestigious Observer Food Monthly Awards with her recipe for kimchi jjigae. Since winning the award, she’s pursued a freelance career as a food writer and recipe developer, whilst also being a mother. In January 2021, she was featured in Waitrose Food magazine as a rising star of the food world and contributed her family recipes under the title ‘Home Comfort’. Her domestic kitchen-friendly recipes based on food from her childhood have been well received by editors, food teams and readers for their purposefully simple approach and impactful flavour, and her recipes can also be found in many other food publications including Sainsbury’s magazine, Olive magazine and Waitrose Weekend newspaper.
Su’s most recent book, POCHA: Simple Korean Food from the Streets of Seoul (Quadrille, 2024) was shortlisted for the Guild of Food Writers’ First Book Award, and she is also the author of RICE TABLE: Korean Recipes and Stories to Feed the Soul (Quadrille, 2023).
