PROGRAM STORY
Korea’s first temple food cultural complex

Through this class, created by the two organizations coming together with a shared purpose, we invite you to a meaningful time where you can personally make and taste Korea’s healthy, neatly prepared traditional temple food. In this program, you will cook with fresh greens and vegetables that grow in Korea’s mountains and fields in each season.

Korean temple food, rooted in the spirit of balwoo gongyang (a monastic meal tradition), pursues healthy cuisine for the well-being of people around the world and the planet.
You’ll be making healthy dishes using natural ingredients from Korea.
The class is led by a monk who holds a Level 1 Temple Food Artisan Certificate.
You can take the temple food you make home with you. Please bring your own food containers.
