This class is about flavour, colour and presentation — because we truly believe food should look as good as it tastes.

A Creative & Relaxed Korean Cooking Experience

Your class begins with a warm introduction to the history of bento boxes, Asian pickling traditions, and modern lunchbox trends. You’ll discover how fermentation and balance play an important role in Korean cuisine.

Then it’s time to get hands-on.

In our small-group, spacious, air-conditioned studio, your friendly teacher will guide you step by step as you prepare and assemble your own beautiful bento box. Weekday sessions are often quieter and sometimes feel like a private lesson.

This class is welcoming, colourful, and surprisingly therapeutic.

Understand the background of pickling and fermentation in Asian history
Make vegan-friendly kimchi
Cook Kimchi Pancake (Kimchi Jeon)

Women-owned

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.
