Princess Julia Lee, the daughter-in-law of Prince Yeong of the Empire (the last Korean Prince of the early 20th century), mentored Ms. Lee on traditional Korean food presentation and taste based her experience in Naksunjae Palace.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">For the past five years, Ms. Lee’s private catering business, Art of Eating, has provided homemade traditional Korean food to a growing clientele. Her goal is to introduce the complex flavors of Korean food to those unfamiliar with the cuisine. She prepares high-quality dishes with a strong attention to detail. In September of 2011, Lee displayed her work at the Lee Younghee Museum in New York City. The exhibition showcased the traditional beauty, color, and shape of traditional Korean food.</p>
