About This Tour
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.
