    The description of the course is accurate. This is a definite must have class while you’re in Seoul. The timing was great so that the course did not stall nor go too fast. Perfect timing. We made 4 types of kimchi. The instructor gives each student a recipe/cookbook to remember the recipes. And, you get to take the kimchi you made with you. Excellent course.

    This was one of the best things we did on our vacation, probably in any vacation. The chef was pleasant and relayed our experience to the Korean family culture of kimchi making. She took us through the market and pointed out things of interest including where to get ingredients. Her kitchen/work space was well laid out and prepared. We were guided through the entire process but we made our own kimchi. It was delicious. There were 4 varieties of kimchi. Her helpers cooked pork and tofu and at the end we had a delicious lunch like a typical kimchi making day in Korea. I can’t recommend this highly enough. We were sent home with some of our self made kimchi packed to go. Very memorable day and she gives you a cookbook so you have the recipes at home.

    This was mine and my dad’s first cooking class together but also was our first time trying other kimchi outside of the staple Napa cabbage kimchi. Our guide was amazing at explaining everything throughout the making process of all of these kimchi’s alongside the backgrounds to the ingredients. The market tour was also amazing and provided us a side to Seoul outside of the lights and city life to a rather more chiller side to the city. I would highly recommend!

    This class was so refreshing and straightforward! The process from beginning to end was worth it and the food (which we made) was great! The instructor was patient and made no comments on any (and there were plenty) mistakes! Worth it!
