    Jeez clearly she got permission from the owners to film and eat the food. it's not like she's a random who decided to spontaneously go to a market an film in a store.

    I just found these videos and I'm so stoked. I worked with Adina may years ago at Clarkson Potter. So, when I watched this video and 2 minutes in it dawned on me who she was, I was so happy for her success. Go you! -Robecca

    Having watched Adina in a couple videos, I love her. She tends to go through a marketplace, thoroughly describing items to where I feel I can actually taste what she's tasting. She is as unpretentious as can be, totally open, and does not snub or pre-judge foods like so many other folks do. She is enjoyable to watch, engaging in every step, not to mention, knowledgeable in the culture and their food habits/tendencies. I much prefer Adina to Evan Kleinman, a woman who, in my opinion, is a bit elitist/arrogant, and certainly does not have a hold on food as well as she likes to imply (having heard her talk about my culture's food/recipes, she fails miserably); to boot, Adina pronounces things as correctly as possible, because she gives a darn. Keep up the great work, Adina!

    3:17 That's not for Kimchi. Most commonly, those are for making plum extract or fruit liquor. Kimchi is typically made in the big earthenware pots, but small batches can be made in plastic boxes.

    I'm about to break some bad news to the commenters, those veggies have been dropped MANY times before she dropped the cabbage. Starting with the dirty farm machines that run over, and chugging out the cabbage from ground. Dropped by those packaging the vegetables, and dropped again by those sorting them at the back of the markets. Welp, looks like none of you should be eating veggies again 😊.
