Join this family cooking class in London and discover the magic of Korean cuisine together through one of its most iconic ingredients: kimchi.
From vibrant colours to bold flavours, this experience is designed to be hands-on, interactive, and deeply memorable – a shared moment for you and your child to enjoy side by side.
Your experience begins with a gentle introduction to Korean food culture, where fermentation, balance, and sharing meals bring people together. You'll then step into the kitchen to start creating.
In a spacious, air-conditioned studio, families cook in a relaxed small-group setting. Weekday sessions are often quieter, giving you and your child even more personal attention. This is a space where children can feel curious and creative while parents relax and enjoy the process. Every step is guided, simple to follow, and adapted for both adults and kids to ensure everyone feels at ease.
During this hands-on workshop, your family will:
  • Learn how to make fresh, vegan-friendly kimchi from scratch
  • Understand the story and science behind fermentation
  • Cook a comforting kimchi pancake (kimchi jeon)
  • Prepare a mild, family-friendly kimchi tofu soup (sundubu-style)
  • Assemble a colourful Korean-inspired meal set together
  • Sit down and enjoy what you've created as a family
This class is a wonderful way to introduce kids to global flavours through creative, colourful cooking that keeps them involved from start to finish. At the end of the session, you'll sit down together to share your meal. There's a real sense of pride and joy that comes from watching your child taste something they've made with their own hands.
You'll leave the studio feeling inspired by new culinary skills, with a handmade keepsake of your time together to take home. This experience provides a beautiful spark for your family's future kitchen adventures, leaving you with memories of a truly special day.

At Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen, we believe cooking is more than following recipes — it is a craft, a culture, and a shared experience.
Founded in London with a passion for precision and authenticity, we specialise in immersive Asian culinary workshops that combine traditional knowledge with hands-on learning.
From sushi masterclasses to Chinese tea ceremonies and artisan dessert experiences, every class is designed to give you more than just a finished dish. We teach you the “why” behind the technique — so you leave with confidence, not just instructions.
Precision.
Our sushi classes focus on technique, structure and presentation.
We guide you to create beautifully shaped rolls with professional standards — even as a beginner.
Culture.
Our tea and Matcha workshops explore centuries of history and philosophy, helping you understand the story behind what you taste.
Creativity.
Our dessert workshops celebrate colour, texture and joy — turning simple ingredients into stunning, handcrafted treats.
We keep our classes small to ensure personal guidance and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re joining for a date night, birthday, team event or simply to learn something new, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and thoughtfully designed space.
Many of our weekday sessions feel almost like private classes — giving you time to ask questions and refine your skills.
Our Philosophy
Craft. Culture. Confidence.
We believe learning should feel rewarding, not rushed.
Beautiful, not complicated.
Professional, yet welcoming.
When you leave our studio, we want you to feel proud of what you’ve created — and confident enough to recreate it at home.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen.
