About your Host

Hello My name is Anna. I taught cooking at a university for 11 years. I also ran a pop-up restaurant in collaboration with LG Electronics, and the restaurant I operate became quite famous. I have authored two cookbooks and have been featured on television multiple times as a culinary expert.

Last year, while teaching K-Food classes to students at the Korean Language Institute at Yonsei University, I became inspired to introduce Korean cuisine.

Ganghwa Island is a beautiful place where my family lived for over 10 years. I want to share the beauty of Ganghwa Island.
