Very enjoyable market tour and cooking class led by Na Young Kim. She showed my wife and me her favorite vendors in the Mangwon Market. After that we learned Korean cooking techinques as we prepared a multi-course lunch in her apartment. All the food was very tasty. A great way to spend a few hours in Seoul.
Great activity for anyone. Great moment! Jinsil is a great host. The meal we prepared were great and Jinsil gave us good tips on how to recreate them afterwards. I didn't see the time flies by. The access to the kitchen is also very easy and convenient. The building is directly adjacent to a subway exit.
