A refrigerator having a cooling compartment provides a memory storing data about a user and data on food items stored in the cooling compartment; a user recognition device recognizing a present user; a controller reading the food item data corresponding to the user data relevant to the present user recognized by the user recognition device; and a display displaying the food item data read by controller. Thus, the refrigerator may be provided, which displays food item information appropriate to a user and reflecting the user's taste, physical constitution and health condition.
