Your experience begins in a cozy, traditional kitchen tucked away in one of Seoul’s lesser-known alleys. You’ll be welcomed with a warm cup of traditional Korean tea as your host introduces the day’s culinary adventure and shares insights into the unique values of Korean food culture and the importance of color harmony in dishes like Bibimbap. Next, it’s time to cook! With your apron on and ingredients ready, you’ll dive into a hands-on cooking session, learning how to prepare several classic Korean dishes step by step: Hot Stone Bibimbap,Bulgogi,Japchae,Doenjang-jjigae, Kimchi Pancake & Vegetable Skewers. Once the cooking is done, everyone gathers around the table to enjoy the meal together — just like a real Korean family. After your meal, the experience continues with a walking tour through the hidden alleyways of Euljiro — one of Seoul’s most fascinating and underrated neighborhoods. You'll visit spots even many locals don't know, and hear stories about the history and transformation of this special district.

    My wife and I arrived about 45 minutes earlier than expected and Jiny was very welcoming. We enjoyed her hospitality and appreciated her sincerity. We learned a lot from her teaching and would highly recommend this course to anyone who comes to Seoul. We also enjoyed the mini tour around and it was very informative. All in all we enjoyed this wonderful experience.

  • Outside the standard Korean experience

    My son and I had a fantastic time learning to make several Korean dishes with Jiny! Everyone had their own cooking station and we all made the full menu of bibimbap, beef bulgogi, kimchee pancakes, japchae, and another side dish. Jiny is super enthusiastic and kind. She made us all feel like accomplished cooks. The food was absolutely delicious!
