Our class was a lot of fun and very informative. Our instructor was great and the fact that there were only six of us made it a great class. The market was awesome.

Brilliant host, not just food, but a cultural experience. Great value and a real locals guide to Busan and SK culture. Perfect English, so you get to understand everything you hear.

Heeyoung was delightful! We enjoyed hearing her wealth of knowledge about Korean cooking, history, and culture. We wish we'd done this at the start of our trip because the insight she gave us into Korean cuisine would have helped us appreciate our meals there more. The market tour afterward was also very fun.

We had the best time! Heeyoung is amazing at explaining the instructions and making sure we knew what was going on. She didn’t rush us at all, and was very go with the flow. She also did a good job at interacting with us, and engaging everyone in the group. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking into learning how to make traditional food!

Our private cooking class in Busan was an unforgettable experience! Being the only participants made it feel personal and immersive. We learned to make delicious local dishes with hands-on guidance and ended the day with a fascinating market tour that gave us a deeper appreciation for Korean cuisine. Highly recommend for anyone looking to connect with local culture in a fun and interactive way!

This was a wonderful experience with a great host! If you would like to dive into traditional SK culture, I can only recommend this cooking class!

Had a really great time! It was professional and personal at the same time, good food and instructions. We did this as our very last activity in Busan before travelling back home to Europe - we should’ve done this cooking class earlier so that we could’ve used the knowledge when browsing the food markets. Definetely recommend this!
