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 was so welcoming and made the entire experience unforgettable! She didnâ€™t just teach us how to cook â€” 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!

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 hoettuckâ€”something I had always wanted to tryâ€”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 Pollyâ€™s energy, warmth, and genuine hospitality make this class truly special!

My friends and I booked Chef Pollyâ€™s Korean Food Essentials and it was phenomenal! She was so sweet and funny! She created such a warm and inviting environment!! My friends are experienced with cooking but not professionally trained so it was really cool to see her put on her professional chef hat and teach all of us some really handy tricks! We would definitely book a class with her again :)

Chef Polly was a great host and chef! Her home was welcoming and warm (she had a very thoughtful playlist and tea waiting). We learned everything from the basics (i.e. good hygiene and knife skills) to how to make more complex Korean dishes including kimchi pancake, steamed buns (dumplings), and dalgona (the cookies in Squid Game). I would recommend her to any chefs, whether novice or expert <3

We had a great time conversing, learning, and eating the delicious food with Chef Polly during her Korean street food class! The food was delicious and we learned a lot of different cooking techniques that we can hopefully try at home! We took a few steamed buns and dalgona candy home as well which our daughter and mother-in-law really enjoyed! Highly recommend Chef Pollyâ€™s class!
