Venture into the local Mangwon market on a guided tour and sample Seoul's most popular street food and gather ingredients for the cooking class. Experience authentic Korean culture and its rich colours, unique flavours and smells in an intimate cooking class hosted in a local home. You'll prepare a 4-course meal entirely from scratch, under guidance from a dakgalbi chef with over seven years of restaurant experience, and even pick up some Korean lingo along the way!
Learn to cook bibimbap (mixed rice with meat and veggies), dakgalbi (stir-fried chicken), haemul-pajeon (seafood pancake) or sanjeok (skewered pancakes), and doenjang-jjigae (soybean stew).
Hanjeongsik is a traditional Korean meal with more than ten side dishes, or banchan. Enjoy complimentary banchan, dessert and drinks. With bellies filled, try on a traditional mask, Tal, for a fun photo opportunity.
Had the BEST evening learning how to make a korean meal from Junghee. She is such a fun host with heaps of interesting anecdotes as she brought us through the markets. Almost can't believe I made such delicious food :D was STUFFED by the end of the night. Thank you again for an amazing experience :]
We totally had a blast, was not expecting much as is one of our first few cooking class, Jung Hee is very knowledgeable in the ingredients and very attentive to every one in class especially with special needs. Would recommend this class to everyone who is visiting Korea, wanted to know and learn how to cook local cuisine!
It was a really precious experience to take this cooking class. Junghee helps you not only to be able to cook Korean food but to create an unforgettable memories. She is very friendly and interesting person. At first we had a nice walk around the market and then were welcomed in Junghee's house! The whole cooking process was followed by the exciting talk. And the food which we prepared at the end is the most delicious Korean food which I have ever eaten! And now I even can cook it!!! I am highly recommend not to miss the chance to be Junghee's guest :) Thank you very much for your hospitality!
The experience was amazing! Junghee was so interactive and shared with us many amazing stories while taking us through the market! We then cooked the most delicious meal i have ever tasted with the fresh ingredients we purchased. i would highly recommend Jung Hee's cooking tour, it was really one of the highlights of the trip, as well as a really indepth insight to the local culture and life :)
Learnt so much about Korean culture from Yunghee. Amazing experience!
We were really lucky to have this as a private class, which made the whole experience feel extra special. Junghee was incredibly friendly, and you can really see her passion in the way she teaches. Since my mom doesn’t understand much English, Junghee took the time to slow down, adjust her instructions, and make sure she was always comfortable and following along. The visit to the local market was a definite highlight—it's a market truly patronised by locals running their daily errands, and it added such an authentic, holistic layer to the entire experience. It felt less like a tour and more like being let into someone’s everyday life. Junghee is also very knowledgeable about Korean food culture. Every question we had was answered with so much depth, and she often went beyond what we asked to share stories, context, and helpful tips. The dishes were easy to follow and simple enough for us to recreate at home. Overall, my mom really enjoyed the whole experience as someone who cooks often, and we ended the day with a little feast enjoying our fruits of labour. Highly recommend!
