Korean private chef in Valencia

Real Korean home cooking is hard to find in Valencia outside a handful of restaurants, and almost none of it is the kind of banchan-and-rice spread Korean families actually eat at home. A private Korean chef brings that to your table, either as a hands-on class or full catering for a dinner or event.

What Korean home cooking actually tastes like

Three dishes that show up in almost every Korean home kitchen, and that our chefs teach or cook most often.

Bulgogi

Thin-sliced marinated beef, sweet and savory from pear, soy and garlic, grilled fast and wrapped in lettuce with rice and ssamjang.

Japchae

Glass noodles stir-fried with beef, spinach, carrot and mushroom in sesame oil, served warm or at room temperature at any gathering.

Kimchi jjigae

A deep, sour-spicy stew built on fermented kimchi, pork and tofu, the dish most Koreans call their real comfort food.

Classes vs catering

Every Korean chef we work with offers both. Pick whichever fits your evening.

Cooking classes

Hands-on, at your rental or the chef's kitchen. You make bulgogi, japchae or kimchi jjigae yourself, banchan side dishes included, and eat what you cook.

  • 2 to 3 hours, hands-on, at your rental or the chef's kitchen
  • Small groups, usually 2 to 8 people
  • You cook and eat what you make, chef guides every step

Home catering

The chef cooks a full Korean spread in your kitchen for a dinner party, birthday or small corporate event, banchan and all, while you and your guests just sit down to eat.

  • Chef cooks in your kitchen, you and your guests just eat
  • Works for 4 to 20+ people depending on the menu
  • Chef handles shopping, prep, cooking and clean-up

What it typically costs

Catering for a Korean home-cooked spread typically runs EUR 45 to 75 per person depending on the menu and headcount. Hands-on classes usually start around EUR 65 per person for a small group.

These are rough estimates to help you plan, not a fixed price. The chef confirms an exact quote once you share your headcount, menu and date.
