\nThe heat, the sweet, and the salty make Korean food distinctive and delicious. This robust cuisine is more popular than ever. Of course you can enjoy Korean food in restaurants, but you can also learn to cook some of the classics like bibim bap, jap chae, scallion pancakes, kalbi, and even make a simple kimchi in your own kitchen. Classes are participatory and the instruction is clear. There is nothing more fun than cooking with a group of friends. My goal is to hear you say, “I can do that!” <\/p>\n

Recipes are from my cookbook, The Korean Table<\/em><\/font> (Tuttle Publishing 2008), which I coauthored with my friend and mentor, Korean cuisine expert Taekyung Chung. <\/p>\n

Here are some suggested menus, but it is easy to mix and match. Each menu also includes fresh vegetable and spicy miso dip appetizer, rice, kimchi, roasted corn tea and seasonal fruit.<\/p>\n

The cost per person will vary depending on the number of the students in the class. As in every class I teach, each student will leave with recipes after having enjoyed a meal prepared by the group. Please contact Debra to discuss the various options.<\/p>\n
