Sonja, author of www.gingerandtoastedsesame.com, says she loves food. She moved back to the United States after living in Seoul, Korea for five years. Sonja said she started her blog in response to the extreme reverse culture shock she experienced moving back to the U.S. and the homesickness she felt for Seoul. In the process, she has really come to enjoy building her blog, meeting fellow bloggers and learning more about food photography. Sonja hopes to share what she’s learned about good eating from her time in Korea and traveling Asia. She focuses on recipes that are influenced by her Korean heritage and experience as an expat in Seoul.
