What to expect

Experience authentic Korean culture and cuisine in Seoul with this unique home-based cooking class. Begin your 1-hour, hands-on class with Na Young in her kitchen, where you’ll learn to prepare two traditional Korean dishes from scratch. Depending on the day, your class may include making a main dish and a side dish. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the delicious meal you helped create, accompanied by soup, kimchi, and traditional soju.

Enhance your experience with a visit to the Mangwon Market, a spacious indoor market known for fresh local produce, spicy snacks, and prepared foods. Explore the stalls with Na Young for about 30 minutes, learn about seasonal ingredients, and sample a traditional Korean snack. The market is just a 10–12 minute walk from her home, making this a convenient and immersive culinary adventure.
