Itinerary

This is not simply a cooking class — it is an intimate cultural experience in the ancient capital of Korea. Just as Queen Seondeok, the first queen of Silla, built Cheomseongdae with wisdom and care, we welcome you with the same warmth. Begin your experience with a guided walk through Seongdong Market, a traditional local market loved by residents. As a local host, your guide will help you communicate with vendors, ask questions about unfamiliar ingredients, and understand how Koreans choose and use them in everyday cooking. If there’s any side dish or food that catches your eye, you’re welcome to buy and taste it like a local. Hosted in small groups to ensure personal attention, this experience is designed for travelers who want more than recipes — they want connection, story, and authenticity.
