Reviews from Travelers

What previous students say

"This was a wonderful introduction to Korean cooking. Before the lesson, Tina took us to the market to look at all the local food and we got some dessert and fruit. We then met the chef who made a brief introduction of Korean culture and food. We made Korean pancake and we ate them with traditional Korean rice wine, and soup."
