Don't miss out on this Seoul cooking class. - A must do experience when in Seoul! It was such a delight to meet Jiny and her husband. She is a gracious hostess that will welcome you with smiles, drinks and a little snack. We had so much fun learning how to cook a 6 course korean meal. The bonus at the end was the tour around the neighborhood. Come with an empty stomach because you will leave will a fully belly of the yummy food you just cooked. No need to worry about not being able to document your experience because you will get a zip file of not only the recipes, but also photos of you cooking. My boyfriend and I enjoyed every minute of this experience. Please don't hesitate and book a cooking experience with Jiny.

Seoul trip highlight - We had such a fantastic time at Jiny’s cooking class! She was so warm and welcoming, and made the whole experience so much fun. The recipes were easy to follow and everything turned out delicious - we can’t wait to try making them again at home!
After the class, Jiny took us on a tour around the neighbourhood, showing us some interesting local spots and small businesses we never would’ve found on our own. It was such a great way to see a different side of Seoul!
This experience was truly one of the highlights of our trip - definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul!

Well-organized Korean cooking class with Enthusiastic Jiny! - Fun, exceptionally well-organized cooking class in Seoul! Jiny did a great job providing some background on the dishes and explaining all of the steps. It was a hands-on cooking class, but not so overwhelming with details. Jiny is very positive and enthusiastic. We also had a short tour around the alleys of the neighborhood with definitely some local finds that a tourist would not find on their own. Also really nice that she took photos throughout and sent them to us after the class so we didn't have to spend any energy trying to capture some pics on our phones. Highly recommend!

Amazing Cooking Class - We were a group of 4 and this class far exceeded our expectations. Jinny was a phenomenal chef, teacher and hosts. She took time to learn everyone’s name and created a safe learning space We each had the opportunity to make each of the 6 dishes and each dish was phenomenal. I highly recommend this cooking class.

Fun, Informative, and Yummy! - 10/10 experience. Jenny was kind, knowledgable about the food and the lore surrounding the ingredients. Her infectious positivity made the group so fun and everyone was smiling. I will be recommending her class to anyone I know that has a trip to Seoul!

1000% recommend! - To be honest, I was a little unsure about this booking at first, just because there weren't a ton of reviews yet – but I'm SO GLAD I didn't let that stop me!!! Our group of four had a FANTASTIC time with Jiny! Her English was excellent and the experience is clearly very, very well thought out. She started with warm greetings and knew everyone by name. Everything was set up very neat and tidy, and she gave us a complete walk through so expectations were clear from the beginning. She also exuded so much confidence that we'd be able to handle all the required steps, and our entire class absolutely did! Afterwards, we got to go for a great walk through the neighborhood and she pointed out quite a few things that I absolutely never would have caught without her. Totally fun and joyful experience and the perfect intro to Korean food.

Such a fun experience! - Jiny was warm and caring. She encouraged everyone in the class to participate and her instructions were simple to follow. The food we made was delicious and Jiny very promptly sent us all of the recipes, along with several great photos. I’m happy to recommend this class to everyone - from novices to experienced cooks. Really loved it.

Phenomenal Korean Experience-Hands down best adventure - In Seoul and South Korea, this was hands down the best experience!!! Jiny goes above and beyond in so many ways! Her laugh and excitement for cooking and life is beyond words to the point where whenever I cook I think of her and this experience. She really makes you smile and feel a part of the Korean family and culture. This is a must do! The DMZ and other things in Korea are phenomenal experiences but this tops out. Do it and you’ll find out why! I can’t give away all the surprises! I promise it won’t disappoint.
