Sharing food is one of the few ways cultures can be shared through a language barrier. "Bap and Brush" is a project born out of a passion for sharing the rich culture of Korean cuisine, through a lens that makes cooking approachable, engaging, and culturally enlightening. This website is designed to break down the barriers to culinary exploration, encouraging users to dive into the art of Korean cooking with ease and excitement.
At the heart of "Bap and Brush" lies a nostalgic journey back to the simplicity and joy of childhood experiences with food. Inspired by the colorful and whimsical world of the beloved cooking video game Cooking Mama, this project brings Korean dishes to life through vibrant illustrations and interactive elements that aim to create a playful and immersive learning environment. By avoiding traditional food photography in favor of charming, stylized illustrations, the website seeks to eliminate the intimidation factor that often accompanies the pursuit of culinary perfection, making every attempt in the kitchen a success in its own right.
