Reviews
We've booked the market tour + cooking class for the second time in 2 years, and it was incredibly good once again. The market tour provides great insights into Korean ingredients and local eating habits. The ingredients purchased there were then used in the cooking class. Minseon, the instructor, is fully committed, explains everything well, and answers all questions with passion and expertise. The class is a lot of fun, only extremely high-quality ingredients are used, and afterwards you receive a bound cookbook with the recipes we cooked, and a few more great cooking inspirations. All in all, it's a course that we can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone interested, as it wonderfully completes a visit to Seoul/Korea.
Such a great experience where we had an hour to do the grocery shopping in the local market and learn all about the culture from a local chef. We then cooked some delicious traditional Korean meals in a beautiful cooking studio. We even got a free cookery book and postcards too. Would definitely recommend.
This experience was super fun!! The tour and the cooking class were so interesting, Chef Minseon was so nice and has so much knowledge about Korean food. The dishes we made were so delicious. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed the whole experience, it was well guided and paced- learned a lot about Korean food and cooking. It was really a worthwhile experience in Korea!! Bonus: enjoyed great food!!!
Very interesting tour through the large market where we picked up ingredients for the cooking class. The dishes we made were easy to prep and follow. Had a great time!
We had so much fun! It was a great learning experience and we left with a cooking recipe book and a hangul book!
Overall one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a vacation. I got so much out of my time here than I ever anticipated. Very friendly and professional. It was so simple to find and felt so welcomed in their space. They were fast at communicating before hand to answer any questions or concerns. No notes. Cannot recommend this enough.
It was simply great! Very well organized, full of advices and fun! And I got all the support needed! Highly recommend!
Awesome!!! I would recommend it to anyone! The cooking class instructor is very personable!
This was such a fabulous class. Not only did we enjoy the tour around the markets, and cooking we learnt quite a lot of Korean culture and language too. Mineson has really gone above and beyond for the experience she has created. If we were staying longer I’d almost want to do it again.
