Cooking Classes

2F, 39, Yulgok-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Located opposite Anguk Subway Station Exit 6 / opposite the entrance of Insadong Shopping Street. The centre organises K-Temple Food cooking classes for foreigners, 10am-12pm for the first 4 Saturdays of each month. The fee for one class is 20,000 won per pax, and you have to make a reservation beforehand. The exact class dates and recipes are posted on their website http://edu.koreatemplefood.com and Instagram account https://instagram.com/korean_templefood

2 recipes are taught per class. The class is instructed and demonstrated by a nun. The class is also partially translated by another nun, and there are several assistants. Participants are assigned to tables, and the class begins with a pre-meal chant. The class itself is a bit like a group project, with ingredients shared with table mates, and everyone taking the initiative to work on different parts of the recipes. Honestly the session I attended was a little chaotic, as the translation for the instructions wasn't very complete, and the participants were chatting amongst themselves. Would suggest reading the English/Korean recipe sheets beforehand (and/or knowing some Korean) as well as paying attention to the demonstration videos being livestreamed on TVs. Nonetheless it is still an interesting experience to learn more about the local temple food culture - especially if you're a Buddhist, vegan/vegetarian, or cooking enthusiast!

Aprons are available for use. Do bring 2 reusable containers to pack the food you make (preferably glass / metal / food-grade silicone, not plastic as there might be hot food). Do also bring 2 dishcloths as you are expected to clean up the cooking equipment, table, etc.

- Persimmon Mushroom Salad

More than reasonable price for decent cooking class!

Learnt how to cook mushroom soybean paste veggie wrap.
Ingredients were all nice and fresh but only cost us 10,000krw for per person(one dish class)!
Every week different dish for classes
For English speakers, translators are available when asked in advanced.

They also have a tea food making class. For this one, not sure if translators are available.

All classes can be booked via their website
