Koreans have maintained a belief since ancient times that food and medicine have the same origin. That is why they perform the same function following the adage that "food is the best medicine". For them health and illness alike come from the food they consume  and how they eat it. This idea has played a decisive role in the development of traditional Korean medicine. The basic principle of medicine is that we should use medicine only after food has failed.

One of the key words to understanding traditional Korean food is fermentation. Fermentation is a metabolic process that helps food to 'mature' so that it has improved taste and nutritional properties. And also can be stored for a longer period.


Just like the craze of "Gangnam Style" and "Hallyu" (Korean Wave) the craze for Korean food & cuisine is  increasing on the taste buds of young Indians. Looking at the fast spreading Korean food fever  Korean Culture Centre has hosted an "International Culinary Workshop". This Work shop has been organized by Agrao-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation in Banarsidas Chandiwala Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Kalkaji, New Delhi.


The Workshop has been organized everyday from 6th July  to 31st July 2016 from 10.00 AM to 12.00 NOON. The classes are open for all. Those who are not able to attend the classes at Kalkaji, they can attend the classes at Korean Cultural Centre Lajpat Nagar New Delhi every Saturday from 3.00PM to 5.00 PM.
