On June 3, KSI Korean Cultural Center, Spain held a special cooking experience class for students of the 'Sejong Korean 3B' course. Students first learned various words and grammar related to cooking ingredients, tools, and methods in their regular classes, and then planned team-based fusion dishes under the theme 'A Delicious Meeting of Spain and Korea'.
 
 

Each team proposed creative fusion dish ideas using unique ingredients from Spain and Korea, devised their own cooking methods, and had time to cook the dishes themselves. After completing their dishes, the students shared their cooking methods, ingredients, and tastes and discussed their experiences. They also enjoyed tasting each other's dishes together after the class. Mr. Juanjo, who presented kimchi he made himself, said, “It felt creative to combine cooking ingredients from Spain and Korea to create new dishes.”
 
 

Through this cooking class, the students were able to taste and compare various ingredients from Korea and Spain, directly experiencing the differences and similarities between the two cultures. The students expressed great satisfaction and joy from their first cooking culture class experience.
 
 

Meanwhile, the students participating in the cooking class shared Korean cooking videos they made during the process, wrapping up the semester. Starting again in September, KSI Korean Cultural Center, Spain plans to provide meaningful times for cultural exchange between the two countries through various Korean culture classes, in addition to Korean language classes.
