[MANNAM] Culture through food: MANNAM Korean Cooking Class


What is food?
According to online dictionary, food is any solid substance that is used as a source of nourishment.
Really? Do you think that is all about the food?
When we look deeper, food isn't only the substance that provides nutrient to our body.
Food contains the history and culture of that country.
For example, when we eat kebab, it reminds us Turkey.
The ingredient of food also show the cultural aspect of that country, if the country is geographically near the ocean, then its food are mostly made of seafood that can easily get from sea.
The taste of food also portrays the characteristic of that country.
When you try Thai food, it has its unique sour, sweet and spicy taste!
Thai food is usually salty because Thai people need to intake missing natrium due to sweat from hot tropical weather.
Like I mentioned all above, food can be one of symbolic items to represent a country.
As it is, trying out local food is one of ways of directly experiencing the culture.
Then, how about cooking the local food? Why? Does it sound difficult because you do not know how to cook it?
That is why MANNAM intentional offers Korean Cooking Class, so many expacts who live in Korea can have chances and experience to cook Korean food!

So if you want to learn how to cook Korean food or want to try it, MANNAM provides an amazing cooking class as one of our culture clubs.

Here is the youtube video about how to cook Kimchi Stew, which was taught during the MANNAM Korean Cooking Class!
