This was worth every penny. Sara was funny, personable, knowledgeable and skilled. She explained so much about spices and ingredients at a local market before taking us to her home to learn how to make 4 different dishes. It was a true hands-on experience with a group of travelers from all over the world. She expertly helped us through the steps of three dishes that we all ate at the end of the class. Lots of fun and now we go home with the recipes and the ability to make them. Loved this class!

We loved that we were invited to Sarah's home and that we were able to visit an authentic (!) local market - the food we cooked together was delicious and we had a very nice group! Wish you all the best :)

This was by far the best cooking class I went to. Sara was amazing and really good at making the whole group feel comfortable. She’s a wonderful teacher and has a really intentional set up. Most cooking classes I go to it’s standing up but we have chairs which was really nice!
She knows a lot about seasonal veggies & fruits and the market tour was very informative. It’s definitely worth the money.

Sarah was an absolute electrifying host. She brought great energy that really brought the group together. It was wonderful hearing about her love for food and being invited into her home. 10/10 would book again!

Very enjoyable experience with Sara. She met our group of 10 right outside Exit 2 of the Mangwon Train Station & we immediately started on our walking tour through the marketplace. So nice to have a guide to explain all of the varieties of fruits, vegetables, seafood & prepared food. Didn’t realize we would be walking to her home and cooking there. We climbed stairs to her 5th floor home which is nicely set up for dining & instruction. Sara’s upbeat & friendly personality made the time go by quickly! The food we prepared was delicious and easy to prepare. We received pics & recipes by the time we got back to our hotel…so efficient. If you want to have fun; get a guided tour of a local market place; learn to prepare Korean dishes & sides; and enjoy a good meal, this is the one for you! Thank you Sara!
