Delicious food with a one of a kind teacher. You won't regret taking this class. - I spent a wonderful morning solo with the ray of sunshine that is Jiny. I was amazed when she told me she had taught herself English because she was so fluent and we had a really meaningful time together cooking and talking. I've done other cookery schools in Asia now and I can honestly say Jiny's was the best. The food was so tasty and delicious and she was so knowledgable about the history and ingedients of each dish. I had a lot of questions and Jiny had all the answers I wanted and more. I picked up some hacks that I will use in the future as I cook all the dishes for my family at home. Jiny's love of Korean food is infectious and even though I was already a big fan of the cuisine I love it so much more after making these dishes together. A really special memory of my time in Seoul. The hidden alley tour was fun too.

Fabulous, delicious, and unique way to spend an afternoon in Seoul - What a delightful experience!! First of all, Jiny is a dream. Her 2nd floor cooking studio is charming with a dining table and decently sized stations for about 10. I don’t cook, but with Jiny’s guidance I somehow made the best bulgogi bibimbap I had in Korea and also learned techniques that will absolutely let me replicate the sauce and kimchi pancake at home. It was raining the day of my class, everybody else opted out the tour of the nearby neighborhood, but the walk with Jiny ended up being a highlight of my trip. I learned about some speakeasy bars and coffee shops and 24 hour honor code vintage shops.

Amazing experience! - It was very good experience! Everything well organised, all ingredients prepared in advance, good step by step guidance on each dish. Jiny is very kind and friendly, not only taught us how to make Korean food, but also gave us a tour of the neighbourhood which was very interesting! I really recommend taking this class in the beginning of your vacation, since she said a lot of useful information that would be helpful during your stay!

Great cooking class! - My boyfriend and I had a great time at the cooking class with Jiny. She took everything at our pace and was good at explaining all the steps in the dishes. We had plenty of time to learn everything. We learned how to make many different dishes and had plenty of time to eat them afterwards, after which we went for a walk with Jiny in the area. I can only recommend this experience to others!

10 stars!! - If I could give this class 10 stars I would!! We absolutely loved this activity while in Seoul. Jiny was engaging, so so kind, knowledgable and made cooking very fun! The value of the class is amazing. We learned a lot and were actually full after! The food was so good too, some of the best we had in Korea. The "hidden gems" walk around the neighborhood was a big plus, it was fun to see different areas from a local. We really can't rave enough about Jiny and this class. It was definitely a highlight of our trip.
