We’re back with another live episode. This time we’re talking with Irene Yoo about her new cookbook Soju Party, a gorgeous collection of cocktail and food recipes that is blueprint for many a fun and delicious night.

Irene takes us through an epic night of drinking with her cousins in Seoul, gives us (mostly Freesia) tips on how to participate and keep up/bow out as an alcohol light-weight, and gives us the lowdown on both drinking etiquette and drinking games.

Plus we talk about Irene’s experience growing up with soju as an essential part of family gatherings and traditions, learning to cook for herself from the Food Network, and the difference between developing food and cocktail recipes in an extremely truncated timeline.

Pick up Soju Party wherever you get your books and plan your own epic night of feasting.
