Ŭmsik timibang (; ) or Kyugon siŭibang () is a Korean cookbook written around 1670 by Chang Kyehyang (1598–1680) during the Joseon period. Written primarily in Hangul, it serves as a record of cooking, brewing, food preservation, and related household techniques practiced in elite households of the Andong–Yeongyang region during the Joseon period. Chang, belonging to the yangban class, stated that she intended the work to transmit this knowledge to her daughters and daughters-in-law.
The work is considered an important source for the study of seventeenth-century Korean food culture and language. Its vernacular preserves terminology used during the Joseon period relating to ingredients, utensils, culinary processes, and other aspects of everyday life.
