Our mission

Our mission is to make Korean cuisine accessible to everyone. We often notice that our guests think that:

Korean cuisine is extremely difficult
Korean cuisine is only for advanced cooks
Korean cuisine takes a long time
Kimchi is hard to make

With our 3,5 hour Korean cooking class we want to show you that Korean cuisine can be very accessible, even for novice cooks.
Furthermore, we are happy to show you how you can prepare a full Korean meal in less than 2 hours.
We use ingredients that are often widely available.

1. Key ingredients of Korean cuisine

Authentic Korean cooking starts with the right ingredients. However, you find many variants and brands of certain ingredients in the Asian supermarket or Korean stores. We explain which ingredients and brands are best to use, and why we use them.
