Review for: Cooking Experience

The experience was great. The monk described the practices of temple food in Korea for about 30 minutes, and it was all live translated. After that, he demonstrated what we were going to cook, and then it was our turn to cook and eat it. The cooking was done in groups of four. The whole class took about 1h and 30 minutes.

This class was amazing! Enjoyed working with people from around the world and teaming together to make the dish, I would recommend others to do this as well.

Discover temple cuisine in a friendly and warm atmosphere. Simple and tasty recipe with seasonal ingredients. A volunteer was present throughout the course to provide translation into English. Remember to bring a towel (not provided) and containers to take home the rest of the preparation that you have not finished.

Review for: Cooking Experience

The actual hands-on part of the cooking lesson is very rushed since the demonstration and video took most of the time. This is not a good event for socializing and to learn from other attendees as you are constantly rushing to complete the two dishes. The experience was mediocre compared to other experiences like th Michelin star chef cooking class and kimchi making experience. It's possible since it is fall/winter weather, the chosen recipe did not hit the spot for me. I would appreciate more of how to make temple style banchan or side dishes, temple kimchi, soups, stews, or wok dishes. We were so rushed that we only had time to cook, divide the food and clean. We had to sneak a taste of our cooking during the cooking process as there is no time to sit and enjoy the dishes we made. Highly recommend showing up early to complete the QR code quiz for a special key chain souvenir, browse the cooking books, look at the temple food displays, enjoy red bean tea, and color-in the prayer.

I really enjoyed the cooking class ^^ It was my first time joining a traditional Korean cooking class. There was a translator who helped me with translation. The red bean paste was delicious :) Next time, I would like to try a different recipe. If the cooking class names are listed on the website, it would be great because I could choose the class I want to join.
