This experience invites you to take part in creating a complete Korean meal, from cooking to table setting and enjoying the finished table.
Rather than focusing on individual recipes, you’ll learn how a Korean meal is built and enjoyed as a whole, following the way it’s prepared in everyday life.
Each guest cooks and plates their own meal at an individual station, allowing for a personal, hands-on experience throughout.
Once the table is complete, everyone sits down together to enjoy the meal they’ve prepared, experiencing how Korean food is served and shared.
Set in a private studio in Bukchon Hanok Village, the class flows naturally from cooking to dining in one continuous experience. It offers a clear, engaging way to cook, eat, and understand Korean food culture through the rhythm of a full meal.

Once cooking is complete, you’ll arrange and set your own table, seeing how a Korean meal is traditionally presented and served. You’ll then sit down to enjoy the full meal you’ve prepared, served as an individual place setting, while learning how Korean food is shared and enjoyed in daily life.
