Vegan Cooking Class - Edit
The cooking class was a fun thing to do on our visit to Seoul. Be sure to book online well in advance. The online payment system wouldn’t accept my foreign bank, but after emailing them, they kindly allowed me to pay in person upon arrival.
Read moreThe instructor was excellent, demonstrating each step at the front of the class. We then worked in groups of four or five to prepare two dishes: Mushroom Gujeolpan and Kimchi Kimbap. Both turned out delicious, though the instructor’s versions looked far more professional!
We brought containers to take home our leftovers. You need to bring a towel for drying dishes and a dishcloth for cleanup, as everyone pitches in at the end of the class. Overall, it was a fun and rewarding experience!
Pros: All vegan, Bright modern classroom, Kind instructors

Cooking Classes - Edit
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
Read more2 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.
