Seoul Hongdae Traditional Kimchi Making Class in a Local Home with Korean Meal

This was one of the best cooking classes I’ve ever attended! An absolutely outstanding experience and one of the highlights of my trip to Seoul. I love kimchi, and I was lucky enough to learn how to make it with Grace. The class was perfectly balanced between hands-on cooking and learning about kimchi as an important part of Korean culture. Every step was thoughtfully organized by Grace, and the lunch afterwards was absolutely delicious! I would happily take this class again the next time I visit Seoul, and I’ll definitely recommend it to all my friends. 감사합니다, Grace! 🩵

Je ne sais pas ce qui pourrait être amélioré. Non seulement j’ai appris une vraie recette traditionnelle pour faire du kimchi, applicable chez moi, mais j’ai aussi découvert l’histoire de ce condiment magique et j’ai superbement mangé. Grâce est parfaite... Je vois une seule à améliorer finalement t : indiquer le lieu avec un petit écriteau sur la rue...

Taking a kimchi-making class with Grace was hands down the best activity I did in Seoul. Grace is an incredible host and teacher—she explained every step so clearly and shared so many fascinating facts about the history and culture of kimchi. We learned so much more than just a recipe! To top it all off, the final meal was absolute perfection—a true culinary journey. If you’re visiting Seoul, do not miss this experience!

Grace was really friendly. We learnt a lot about kimchi and got to taste a dish made by her with kimchi in. Most importantly, we got to make our own kimchi with clear step by step instructions and demonstrations as well as guidance as needed. Then we even got to make kimchi pancakes ourselves. As someone who’s not very good at making food, this was an easy to follow and very rewarding experience. It was also great knowing that all the ingredients was fresh and sourced from Graces families farm. She also gave us restaurant/food recommendations which was nice! Would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in the background of kimchi and trying good food with their own kimchi to take him with them

It has been the highlight of our holiday so far. Grace is charming and very knowledgeable, helping us to understand how Kimchi is made and gently showing us how (without babying us, unless clearly required lol). It was a very comfortable experience and we got to learn from an expert that lives and breathes Kimchi. Being able to eat a delicious Kimchi meal and take home our very own handmade Kimchi was a huge bonus! I can recommend 10/10.
