I had such a heartwarming experience at this Korean cooking class! Yuna and our seonsaengnim were incredibly patient, kind and generous in sharing their years of cooking knowledge. My friend is getting married soon, so learning Korean cooking fundamentals was meaningful and practical for her. We made gochujang grilled pork belly with fresh vegetable wraps, doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) and our own ssamjang dipping sauce. Everything was delicious! What impressed me most was their thoughtfulness. Before class, they sent us a questionnaire to understand our interests and tailor the experience. Yuna reminded us to bring extra layers for the changing weather. After class, she guided us on how to catch the KTX to our next destination and made sure we were set. She even shared her skincare tips when I asked! 🥰 This was so much more than a cooking class. If you’re visiting Seoul and want to experience Korean culture, I highly recommend it. I’m coming back for their painting class! 🎨

Chef Annie and Yuna was wonderful! They adjusted the menu selections accordingly to our spice level and we learned a lot and appreciated the history and evolution of these various “jang” flavors. It met my expectations as they were very informative with our questions on how to blend the spice level using various Jang according to the dish preparations.

Formidable. La chef a été très patiente et très claire dans ses explications. Le repas était délicieux et j’espère pouvoir aller apprendre une nouvelle recette en sa compagnie si j’ai le temps avant mon départ. Vraiment un de mes meilleurs moments m, je recommande à 100%

A truly instructive experience! Chef Juniper goes beyond the recipes to teach the soul of Korean food—the Jang. From traditional fermentation process to hands-on prep and stock-making, I left with the skills to cook more authentically at home. 선생님 감사합니다 ❤️
