Most cooking classes in Seoul are taught by staff. This one is taught by my mom. I’ve been guiding food tours in Seoul for three years, and the question I get most is where guests can learn to make the food themselves.

Together we’ll make kimbap from scratch — rolling, cutting, and getting it wrong a few times first — and marinate and grill bulgogi the way she makes it at home. Then we sit down and eat everything you’ve made, the way a Korean family actually eats: all together, at one table. Small groups only, so my mom can correct your rolling technique personally!
