I highly recommend this cooking course! The place is easy to find, the premises is clean. The dishes we prepared were delicious. My level of English is not very high but I understood the exchanges perfectly. We cooked in a good mood. It was very nice! Things to do in Busan! Remember to book in advance! Thank you Heeyoung 🤗 PS: Heeyoung has an exceptional course! She knows what she's talking about. Not to mention that she has a definite gift for sharing her knowledge and culture. She loves what she does and you can feel it! The + of this course: visit the market after cooking!

Heeyoung was delightful! We enjoyed hearing her wealth of knowledge about Korean cooking, history, and culture. We wish we'd done this at the start of our trip because the insight she gave us into Korean cuisine would have helped us appreciate our meals there more. The market tour afterward was also very fun.
10/10 experience

This cookery class was part of an 8 day tour of South Korea. We had an amazing time learning all about Korean food. Heeyoung shared videos with us of the processes of making different soy based sauces used in Korean cooking, and even gave us the opportunity to do a comparison taste test! We cooked 2 dishes together, both of which we feel confident to repeat (plus we were sent instructions to help!) It was a really good end to our trip and Heeyoung was friendly and enthusiastic about what she does! We enjoyed hearing all about the things she has done around the world with her cooking!
We had the best time!...

We had the best time! Heeyoung is amazing at explaining the instructions and making sure we knew what was going on. She didn’t rush us at all, and was very go with the flow. She also did a good job at interacting with us, and engaging everyone in the group. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking into learning how to make traditional food!

One of the best experiences I've had in south korea by far. Heeyoung, the chef and the host of the workshop was super nice, and besides her great English, she also taught us so much and really explained all we wanted to know about korean cuisine. She also makes everything from scratch by herself. The food was great and diverse and the place where the workshop took place is clean and really pleasant. After eating, Heeyoung took us to one of the local markets on the area and we got to experience another side fo the Korean cuisine. Overall great experience, I recommend it very much, 10/10
