Korean Cooking Class with Grocery Shopping at Seoul Local Market
Description
Our class isn’t just about learning how to cook, it’s about experiencing authentic local life and discovering the true essence of Korea. Forget the tourist traps and what you’ve seen in guidebooks! Join me, a Gen Z Korean homemaker, on a journey to Mangwon Market, where real locals shop. Together, we’ll shop, prep, and cook together. This isn’t just a shopping trip, it’s your chance to experience how locals truly live, eat, and connect in their daily lives. Cooking here isn’t just about recipes; it’s about understanding the cultural meaning behind each dish. From the stories of Korea’s food traditions to the everyday life of its people, you’ll leave with more than just culinary skills—you’ll gain a deeper connection to Korean culture. After our class, you will feel fully confident to cook some Korean when you get home. If you’ve always been curious about Korean culture, this isn’t just a cooking class. It’s a one of a kind chance to live and breathe Korea for a day.

What an awesome experience with the family. We started with a walk to a local market. We sampled a snack, and then we bought the ingredients for our dishes. Our guide explained what was in season and what we should look for. And then it was back to the classroom! Our guide became our instructor and walked us through preparing three dishes. It was an excellent experience!
Great experience shopping and cooking in Korea
Awesome!! Would do it again!!
Hands down one of the best thing I’ve done here in Seoul during my 10-days stay. It was simply amazing: very educational, hands-on, relaxed and informative. The teacher was very kind and attentive. She also taught us the proper way to enjoy bulgogi beef. I also LOVED the neighborhood and market tour, and all the informations we got. Everyone there was very kind as well. I want to bring my husband to all the spots we’ve been and try more stuff we couldn’t taste during the class. Absolutely a 10/10 experience. Thank you so much!!!
The guide was really nice and gave us many cute anecdotes about how koreans eat !
I took my Husband for his birthday! He had a great time! They walked us to the market and explained all the traditional snacks and surrounding area! While picking up the ingredients we used to cook with they let us buy any other items we seen along the way and gave suggestions! The class was amazing step by step instructions you can’t get it wrong! Well organized and my husband loved it so we will be doing it again!
We had a lot of fun making the dishes, and the market tour was ver interesting! We also could buy our own groceries while we were at it. Anyway totally recommend 👍
We had a lot of fun. The guides did a great job. The food we made was easy and tasty. It took aboutn3 hours. It's worth the money! :)
Great experience for our large extended family, including two 7 year olds and a 10 year old. Learned about Korea, the culture and foods. Everyone enjoyed the market and cooking. Great experience for a few hours in Seoul.
Fantastic authentic experience with walking with local information and then cooking. Two very cute and welcoming hosts. Delicious Korean dishes. Child-friendly arrangement. Nice, cool and clean local. Can highly recommend!
