I took a wonderful cooking class withJia today. She is a marvelous cook and we made 2 delicious dishes, Japheth noodles which I learned are made from sweet potatoes and a pork dish. all of the ingredients will be easy to find in San Diego.Preparation was easy and the dishes were ready n a very short time. This class would be good for.all levels of cooks. Jia is very charming helpful. This class was the highlight of my stay in Seoul. If you have an opportunity to take this class you will not regret it.

The instructor spoke very good English and knew a lot about how the ingredients are named and used in other cuisines, even obscure ones. The instructor also did an excellent job of breaking the ice, making it easy to chat with the other participants and learn about their backgrounds. I’m terrible at cooking but this recipe for bibimbap and bulgogi was simple and beginner-friendly, and still came out delicious!
Hands-on cooking experience!

My daughter and I enjoyed an amazing cooking class with Jia! She is so warm, friendly and knowledgeable… The facility is charming and comfortable. The explanations of Korean cuisine and the demonstration are first rate. It was exciting to prepare the meal ourselves and it tasted so good. It is possible to control the spice level to your personal taste. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone looking to learn about Korean food and looking to interact with locals. We will never forget our day with Jia and her charming assistants.
100% Recommend!

The class was so interesting and well organised. Jia made the cooking really easy to follow and she was really nice to chat with as well. The food was super delicious and it didn't feel too difficult with little experience. It was also a great opportunity to get to ask questions about Korea cuisine and left feeling inspired to try it at home! Thank you so much for having us, it felt like spending time at a friend's house.
Great experience
