Shin Kim

Teaches at The Korea Society

Shin Kim, a native of Seoul, Korea, is a modern Korean chef specializing in the art of simple culinary creations for the home kitchen. Following her training at the Institute of Culinary Education in 2009, Shin refined her craft at some of New York's finest Michelin-starred restaurants, including Jean Georges, Gilt, and Adour.

In 2012, Shin began her career as an independent culinary instructor. She focuses on bringing simplicity to Korean cooking and has been invited to teach at the Natural Gourmet Institute, Whole Foods Bowery Culinary Center, the Jewish Community Center, and other select kitchens in New York City. She chronicles her culinary journey through her personal blog, shinshine.com, which recounts hundreds of her own reflections on Korean food, from hearty meats to delicious vegetable dishes as well as decadent desserts for home cooks.

Shin's most recent presence can be seen on her own show "Cooking with Shin," produced by DramaFever, where she brings to life dishes featured in popular Asian dramas.

Outside of the kitchen, Shin is an enthusiast of all Korean culture. Her articles about hidden Korean gems in New York City have appeared in The Korea Times, The Korea Herald and Yonhap News. She also translates the subtitles for Korean dramas, most recently The Golden Empire (황금의 제국), Emergency Couple (응급남녀), and Angel Eyes (엔젤아이즈).
