We really enjoyed this class with Chef Polly. She made us feel welcome in her home and we learned different recipes that were flavorful and easy enough to prepare on our own. We've already prepared several of the recipes we learned in class at home and have recommended this class to friends. Definitely worth checking out!

Chef Polly is super knowledgeable and brought some amazing recopies to the class. She was so easy to talk to and guided us throughout the whole day and even prepared a few special side dishes along the way as well. We very much enjoyed our time with her making delicious food, and the cooking space is so beautiful as well with great scenery. We can't wait to try another one of her classes in the near future (and bring our friends!)
Chef Polly greeted us warmly with roasted barley tea, instantly making us feel at home in her kitchen. She patiently answered our many questions while preparing a delicious bindae-tteok appetizer and guiding us step by step through each cooking process with helpful tips and encouragement. Thoughtfully checking in beforehand about dietary restrictions, she also showed me how to make a gluten-free hoettuck—something I had always wanted to try—ensuring I could fully enjoy the class. Beyond cooking, she generously shared her favorite Korean businesses and insider tips. The conversation went well beyond Korean food making the experience feel like hanging out with old friends over a wonderful meal. No matter your skill level or dietary needs, Chef Polly’s energy, warmth, and genuine hospitality make this class truly special!

Chef Polly was so welcoming and made the entire experience unforgettable! She didn’t just teach us how to cook — she took us on a beautiful culinary and cultural journey through Korean history and flavors. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with fun stories that made everyone feel comfortable and connected. I loved how she encouraged us to interact, share, and truly enjoy the process. It felt more like cooking with a friend than being in a class. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves learning about food and culture!

Polly’s service was 10/10. Her depth of knowledge was displayed with delicious flavors that we really enjoyed. The portions were so generous. She was even kind enough to give us the extra dessert and provide us recommendations on where to get fresh produce!
