TASTE OF KOREA: Korean Cuisine & Culture Workshop

𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗞𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗔: 𝗞𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲 & 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽
Last month, 7 March, we had a very special evening with Pretoria's prestigious Steyns Culinary School for a special workshop introducing popular Korean dishes and the country’s thriving gastronomy and culinary industry at our venue.
The workshop inaugurated a series of Korean cuisine and culture workshops under the title of ‘The Taste of Korea,’ an initiative that is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Korean cuisine and hands-on cooking experience to professional chefs and culinary students.
A group of chefs and students from the Steyns Culinary School were the first to join the inaugural workshop to grasp the most recent trends of the Korean cuisine in the ever-changing gastronomy and culinary industry.
The participants learned to make the quintessential Korean dish ‘#bibimbap’ (arguably the most popular Korean rice dish served in a large bowl topped with a variety of vegetables and beef) through a hands-on cooking session while also being offered to try other popular Korean dishes such as kimchi and bulgogi to pair with what they made on the day.
The workshop was followed by a Q&A session about the latest trends and business prospects of Korean food in the country’s food industry with veteran chef and business owner Christine Bae who has been running a booming Korean food catering business ‘Kimchee’ since 2016 in South Africa as well as teaching Korean cooking classes at the Korean Cultural Centre SA.
The school, which boasts to have had graduates who now have established their prominent careers in the industry including South Africa’s 4th Michelin-starred chef Thinus Van Der Westhusizen, has indeed long been expanding their students’ international food experiences through various programs including Korean food workshops.
The upcoming workshops planned for the series of the Korean cuisine and culture workshops ‘The Taste of Korea’ include: Korea's symbolic fermented vegetables ‘kimchi’; Korean fermented pastes ‘jang’; Korean desserts; and Korean alcoholic drinks and food pairing.
