Cali-Kitchen

Hi, I’m Hani, founder of Cali-Kitchen!I grew up learning Korean cooking from my mother, a professional Korean cooking instructor. After moving to the US, I noticed a gap: authentic Korean recipes that actually work with ingredients from a regular American grocery store. So I spent years testing my mother’s recipes and finding accessible substitutes that deliver the same real Korean flavor, even outside Korea.Today, my classes go beyond Korean food to cover many cuisines. I show you how to cook and plate dishes at home so they taste and look like they came from a restaurant. Beginners are always welcome.For 6 years, I’ve taught students from the US, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Europe, and beyond. I’ve taught Korean cooking classes at Stanford University’s International Center and at a Seoul-based studio for international visitors. I also hold a national certification as a Korean Culinary Technician.Our most popular class is Korean cooking with Trader Joe’s ingredients, where you’ll make real Korean dishes using only ingredients from your local Trader Joe’s.My mission is simple: to teach restaurant-quality recipes you can easily make at home, starting with the real dishes Koreans cook every day. I want you to leave with a lifelong recipe collection you can cook from with confidence.Join me in class!
