Hands-on, small-group Korean cooking classes with San Young "Sanni" Kim. She brings the recipes, the ingredients and the fun, in Richterswil on Lake Zürich or at your event kitchen around Wädenswil and Zürich. You chop, stir, taste and laugh, then sit down to enjoy it all together.
As a cooking instructor I share my love of Korea's food and culture. By day I'm a social worker, which has taught me to really listen to what different people need and enjoy.
Back in my student days I cooked for my dorm-mates and felt how powerfully cooking and eating together relaxes a room and brings people closer. I wanted to share that feeling with more and more people.
So since 2019 I've given Korean cooking classes, including at the VHS Heidelberg and the Mannheim Abendakademie, introducing countless participants to authentic dishes and Korea's food culture.
✦Guest instructor at the Korean Cultural Centre of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Berlin. Across 2024 and 2025 she led its official Korean cooking classes several times: from Chuseok holiday dishes (songpyeon & sujeonggwa) to modern café favourites (yakgwa cookies & black-sesame latte) and summer desserts (patbingsu & yuza cocktail).
These are sample courses to spark ideas. Every class is tailored to your group, the season and what you'd love to cook. Each one ends the same way: sitting down together to enjoy what you made.
Korea's everyday table is full of exotic, colourful surprises. Over more than 5,000 years the peninsula grew a cuisine quite unlike anywhere else in Asia: healthy, vivid and tuned to the season. We cook the real thing together, then sit down to enjoy it.

Korean food is having a moment. Sanni picks the best of the recipes blowing up online: the cheesy, spicy, can't-stop-filming dishes you've spotted on Instagram and YouTube. Come hungry and let yourself be surprised.

Sanni shares quick recipes and behind-the-scenes reels on Instagram every week, a little taste of what you'll learn in class. Tap a video to watch, and follow along for more.
"We came for date night and stayed three hours laughing. We ended the evening over homemade kimchi and a Yuza cocktail — and went home with new ideas for our own kitchen."
"Six of us came as friends and had more fun than we'd had in ages. None of us had ever cooked Korean — and by the end we sat together like after a proper feast."
"I've taken a few cooking classes, but this was the warmest. We didn't just follow along — we understood why each step matters, from songpyeon to sujeonggwa. I now cook Korean at home."
