Fun time learning some of my favourite Korean dishes - This takes place in a small Hanok near Iksandeong. You arrive and take off your shoes. Ricky who hosted the class is super friendly and knowledgeable. We make a few dishes but we sit down to eat after the first set and then again at the end. Class flies by and you dont realise when the time is done. You are also offered som Korean rice wine (makgeolli) to taste. The hanok is small, but oerfect size for the class of 6.

Fun and delicious Korean food experience - This is a wonderful way to experience Korean food and culture. Park was a congenial host and expert chef (and spoke excellent English). He carefully demonstrated the cooking techniques to our small group, explaining why each step was done, and then helped each of us to do the same. This fun learning experience resulted in a delicious meal. Our easy conversation with Park gave us a personal view of Korean culture as he told us about himself and his family.

Unique experience in Seoul for all! - I booked this cooking class as a way for all of us on the trip (my husband, mother, cousin and niece) to bond and learn more about South Korean culture before we dived deep into eating and shopping in Seoul! Everyone LOVED the class and agreed it was their favorite thing about the trip! Our instructor, Ricky, was a total sweetheart. He was patient and engaging and made sure to pay attention to each participant. It was such a great and fun activity! I highly recommend this to anyone and guarantee it will be a memory for all to share, especially since you get to come home and make the meals you learned!!! Thank you to Ricky! Say hello to your wife for us :)
