The experience

A UK traveller enjoyed learning about Korean food, especially fermentation.

Guides & communication

The doenjang class felt easy to follow, with a friendly teacher and a relaxed atmosphere.

Getting around & timing

Kyong liked the ingredient explanations and taking the paste home, but would have welcomed a printed recipe.
