Upcoming Classes

Korean Cooking Demos at the Milwaukee Public Market
I'm doing Korean cooking demos in downtown Milwaukee! 
Hearty Korean Cooking 
Link here: https://milwaukeepublicmarket.org/classes/hearty-korean-cooking-demonstration​
Description: Chef Jenny Lee relishes the flavors of her Korean heritage even as she honed her skills in the restaurants of James Beard-award winning chefs in New York City and Milwaukee. While she has the muscle memory to cook fine dining food, Korean food is her comfort zone. In this demonstration, you'll learn how to make hearty Korean dishes like LA Galbi and jap chae noodles. You'll find out how to make an everyday Korean marinade. Find out how LA Galbi got its name from the city of Los Angeles. Jap chae is a wonderful sweet potato noodle dish that can be made vegetarian with mushrooms, carrots and spinach. Koreans prize fruit as a dessert. It is a sign of love when your mother peels the apple or pear by hand with a knife.
Tonight, you'll get to sample:

• LA Galbi (Korean marinated bone-in beef)
• Jap chae (Korean glass noodles with vegetables)
• Korean fruit and the significance of fruit in Korean culture

Cost $35 per person

Korean Desserts
Link here: https://milwaukeepublicmarket.org/classes/korean-desserts-demonstration​
Chef Jenny Lee grew up eating fruit for dessert. Her mother would lovingly peel apples with a knife by hand. The peel would always end up as a long spiral on the plate below her mother's hands. She loved eating Korean desserts at restaurants. In this demonstration class, learn how to make special Korean desserts like patbingsu and red bean mochi. During this hot summer, refresh yourself with patbingsu, a Korean shaved ice dessert loaded with fruit and sweet red bean paste. Learn how to make mochi with the help of a microwave. Lastly, enjoy seasonal Korean fruit and learn about the significance of fruit in Korean culture.

• Tonight, you'll get to sample:
• Patbingsu- Korean shaved ice dessert with fruit and sweet red bean paste
• Red bean mochi- Rice flour dessert with sweet red bean paste
• Korean seasonal fruit

Cost: $35 per person
Where: Milwaukee Public Market, 400 N. Water St., Milwaukee

I'm available for private cooking classes! I can bring the ingredients to you. I can teach students how to make a typical Korean weeknight meal. We could make bibimbap, or Korean rice bowl. We could make kimchi stew, soft tofu stew, spicy beef stew, soybean paste stew or other classic Korean stews. A private cooking class is more intimate. I have more time to talk about Korean culture!
