Make four kinds of kimchi, tour Seoul’s Mangwon Market, eat with your chef, and take your homemade batch home in this hands-on class.

Learn four Korean home dishes in a private Gangnam class with Naomi, using easy-to-find ingredients, personal guidance, and take-home leftovers.

We worried that the location would be a little tricky to find, but Naomi emails a video showing exactly how to get there from the subway station, which made it easy. Once we got started, she gave us lots of details and careful guidance, and the result was a fantastic - and very filling - meal. We went for the dinner time; she also does a lunch menu. We felt very lucky to find this gem of a cooking lesson.”
