Cancelled three times - never got to go

1.00The tour operator cancelled our reservations three times. Once canceled, we tried booking for different dates and they were all cancelled so we were unfortunately never able to attend. It's a huge shame because we were so looking forward. We are vegans and this would have been a huge treat on our trip to Seoul.
Delicious and fun

5.00Great time and delicious food - and all vegan! It was so nice to have an entire Korean meal that I could eat and cooked myself. Learned to cook several dishes, and learned a lot about Korea while doing so.
10/10 would go again

5.00This class was so fun and educational. Even being vegan for years, there was so much I didn't know about the process of making tofu lol. It felt like the perfect amount of time and was so rewarding to be able to sit down and chat over a meal at the end. I got to try some korean food I've never had before and can't wait to try it out again at home.
Vegan Korean cooking lessons in a lovely studio

5.00We made three vegan dishes in a clean, warm and airy kitchen studio. The preparation and preparation of materials was perfect. It seems that I was the first Japanese guest, but even I who am not good at English explained it in an easy way. I'm not a vegan, but I was impressed by the delicious food I was able to make. When I got home, I was able to recreate it immediately, much to the delight of my family. Next time, I'd like to try another recipe with a friend.
Probably the best cooking class in Seoul

5.00My boyfriend and I attended the cooking class during our trip to Korea, we are vegetarians and the experience was really interesting and great! The most interesting thing was being able to talk to Soomin and hear about his experience with vegan and vegetarian food in Korea! Experience absolutely recommended:)
