1 Cooking lesson

We booked a family cooking lesson with Fatina, for a total of 7 people including 3 teenaged kids. Fatina was engaged from the moment we hired her in menu and grocery planning, making sure we would have everything we needed. When she arrived, she taught us a lot about cooking technique, cooking chemistry, how to use various items in our kitchen, + how to keep our food clean and healthy.

1 Cooking lesson

When it comes to cooking I'm pretty much as low skill level as they come. However, I do aspire to be able to make really good food and I especially want to be able to make really great food on my smoker. I've tried making ribs and brisket on my smoker before but always ended up overcooking them and having to throw away expensive pieces of meat so I thought I would try to find a cooking tutor to help me out.

Jaehee taught me to make Kimchi Stew. This was the first time I made any kind of Korean food. I am also a cooking novice. She was very nice, helpful, and made sure that I had everything I needed and all information/instruction to make my experience and food successful. I fell very fortunate to have her as my cooking tutor!
