A must in Seoul!
My partner and I loved the experience! The tour of Mangwon market was great and very instructive (we went back after to buy our own freshly grouned chili powder :D) - really don't go to Gwangjang market and visit Mangwon instead! It is so much better!
The cooking class was lovely, with lots of stories about korean food, ingredients and habits. We felt very welcomed and it was very friendly with the rest of the group!
The best part: eating what you cooked (with a lot of help :D). Everything was amazing - I can't wait to cook jeon at home (very very cold water!) ♥
We enjoyed it so much that we forgot that it was rainy outside :D. One recommendation: I would advise to attend this experience at the start of your trip, this way you can use the little tips and tricks you get taught during the rest of your trip!

A Wonderful Korean Experience!!
I wanted to do a simple cooking class in Korea. Not only did I learn about Korean cooking, I learn about Korean markets, foods, and culture overall. The instructor was very friendly and open. She is eager to talk about where we traveled from and our relationship went from instructor to a close friend. The cooking itself was fun and insightful. I will definitely recommend it to any of my friends who wish to travel to Seoul.

Wonderful time, great food, vibrant host!
The hello_k_cooking class in Seoul was a true delight. Junghee toured us through the local market, pointing out items unique to Korean food and highlighting similarities and differences to other Asian cuisines. We sampled some tasty street foods in the market before returning to her home for the cooking class.
We chopped, diced, spiced and cooked three delicious Korean dishes, accompanied by wonderful conversation and introductions to Korean culture and foods. We learned a lot and ate a lot as well!

Fantastic experience
We did have so much fun from the cooking class with Junghee, she did show us a lot about the ingredients in the local market, and so much laughs during the cooking class! And of course very yummy traditional Korean food!! Highly recommended 🇰🇷.

Fantastic fun and great food!!
We had a fantastically fun time cooking Korean food this week. Thank you so much for the experience, we learnt a lot and I impressed the Koreans we met later in the week with my knowledge of Korean ingredients.
Really engaging session and a great tour of the market where we tasted many types of street food.
