This is a fun activity in Archway, London

Discover one of Korea’s most popular street foods in this fun Korean cooking class in London. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to make Kimbap — colourful Korean rice rolls filled with delicious vegetables and flavourful ingredients.

Often compared to sushi, Kimbap has its own unique taste and style. In this class, you’ll learn how to prepare seasoned rice, colourful fillings and roll everything together to create beautiful and tasty Korean rice rolls.

Your friendly teachers will guide you step-by-step through the process, making it easy and enjoyable even if you are completely new to cooking. Classes take place in a spacious, air-conditioned London studio with small group sizes, so you’ll receive plenty of personal guidance. On quieter weekdays, you may even enjoy a private class experience.

I had a fantastic time, Hanna and Simon are so welcoming and friendly, they guided me step by step showing me the technique for making Kimbap, Kimchi and Bao Buns, they were very patient. The whole experience was fun and very informative, learning about the history. I highly recommend Simon and Hanna's Foodie Kitchen.

A brilliant class! Hannah and Simon were fantastic instructors. The class was a birthday surprise for my partner, who loved it. I am gluten intolerant, and they made sure I had gluten free soy sauce and were very knowledgeable on what I could and couldn't have. We learned about the history of Kimbap, and then made two different types of roll. Would definitely recommend!
