About Me

Unforgettable Italian dinner with homemade food and favorite people

Bellacorea

Hello! Welcome to Bellacorea. Bellacorea means “Beautiful Korea” in Italian. I am from South Korea and currently living in Finland. I do love food, of course cooking (particularly Korean and Italian), baking, eating, reading cookbooks, and trying new ingredients. No wonder! Food is a big part of my life.

I believe that a good food does not always mean delicious and fancy. It has to be from the bottom of one’s heart.

I started this blog to share my food journey with family, friends and you.

Thank you

Italian – let me try ;-)

English welcome!

Korean more welcome!

  4. Dear Bellacorea, your Anise Almond Biscotti recipe is simply perfect!!!!! I must have followed it 10 times in the last 6 months, and everyone keeps on finding these Biscotti amazing. Never before so many people gave me such a positive feedback about something I’ve baked :-) I love the joy with which my family and friends enjoy eating these Biscotti, it warms up my heart and makes me feel so proud :-) Thank you!!

  7. “Bella”, thanks for stopping by MY blog – it’s what brought me to YOURS! I’m a foodie at heart, and a closet food-photographer (if quick shots at the table with my cellphone count, lol). The food you cook looks amazing! And I love what you said: I believe that a good food does not always mean delicious and fancy. It has to be from the bottom of one’s heart. — That is so very true!

    I look forward to following you.

    • I’m so happy because it seems like I just found one more friend who understands my food philosophy deeply ;-) As you see, I’m a foodie with my all heart and trying to figure out how I can make a better life with good food and good people. This blog helps me a lot because I can go so many different worlds, and meet various people! It’s so fun! I appreciate your nice words. It encouraged me a lot!

  9. I don’t know how old you are or if you are even part Italian, but coming from an Italian you are an amazing cook! Your photos are not just beautiful but artistic as well! I applaud you! Thank you for liking my blog and giving me a chance to see yours!

    Ciao for now!

    • Ciao! Piacere! Anche a me piace la cucina italiana.;-)

      I’m learning Italian now. It is too slow though! It’s my big pleasure to learn Italian culture incuding food, wine, language, and people! I hope you will come back soon again!

  18. 언니~블로그가 점점 사람들로 북적거리고 있구나. ^^ 멋진데!!

    이 블로그. 언니한테 정말 딱 인것 같아.
    요리, 사진찍기, 사람만나기, 페이스북, 파티, 초대하기, 맛집가보기,댓글달기..
    언니가 하루종일해도 힘들지 않고 즐겁게 잘 할 수 있는 일들이 이곳에 다 있는 것 같아. ^^

    그리고 사진이 진짜 좋다.
    구도도 좋고, 색감도 좋고,
    한장한장마다 온기가 있는 것 같아.
    그래서 사람들이 그 사진의 현장에 머무르고 싶다는 생각이 들것 같아.

    이거하느라 바쁘구나~ 화이팅!

    나도 집에서 노느라 바빠서 자주는 못들르지만 가끔 들러서 볼께~ 안농!

  27. Thanks so much for dropping by my blog and for the “like.”. I’m going to definitely spend some time here and would love to hear more (and hopefully attempt some recipes soon) on Korean cooking. And, your photos are just beautiful!

  32. What a lovely blog! Thank you for liking my post. I’ve just started blogging and it’s not easy at all to be a good blogger. I might need to learn from you. Looking forward to reading your next post ;)

    • Thanks! I’ve just started this blog since January so I’m still figuring out how to do things as you are doing!! I really love your idea to have Korean food with wine.. I’ve had a semi dry red wine with roasted porkbelly(삼겹살), a dry white wine with Korean sushi(김밥), and Kimchi pancake as well! I’m not an expert of wine as you are but I would say, they were pretty wonderful harmonies!

    • Thank you for stopping by! I enjoyed your post very much! It is always interesting how foreigners in Korea think about my country and I’m so glad you like Korean, Italian food both. More recipes are coming up! :-)

      • My mom’s from South Korea so I grew up in America with a lot of her home cooking :] Bulgogi has always been my favorite Korean food, but kimchii jigae is also very good, much spicier in Korea than in America. I’m looking forward to making japchae for the first time at home, and perhaps trying some of your recipes too (especially the spinach).

      • I shouldn’t have said “my country” :-) It’s our country, right? hahaha! Jabche is also my honey’s favorite,too. It is not very difficult dish than you think! Let’s try it and share a result with me! It will be fun.

Please cheer me up! Thank you!
