I really feel warm now. : ) This class was done last year and it turned out successful. I love to teach as much as I can in a limited time. I know there were so many different recipes were taught but that’s what I wanted. : ) As I mentioned in this blog, some students drove hours and hours to learn Korean cooking, so if I put myself into my readers’ shoes, I would want to learn as many recipes as I can if I go to someone’s cooking class, sacrificing my precious weekend time.

I am also going to teach at the WholeFood Culinary center in April this year. http://www.maangchi.com/classes/april-16-2010

Although a lot of people do appreciate your hard work and willingness to teach, I strongly believe teaching 9 Korean dishes in 1 1/2 hours is a little bit too much for any human being. I do not doubt your enthusiasm, vigor and abilities, but you need to take it easy also, as you might strain yourself too much in one single activity in one single day.

Please do remember there are lots of people out there that depend on your amazing Korean cooking lessons and maybe one day, international cooking lessons as well. If you overstrain yourself or injure yourself due to sheer volume of work, a greater magnitude of people around the world will surely miss you on the air as you recuperate.

Maybe four to five dishes would be enough for that span of time, so you would have enough time to rest, relax and enjoy yourself while teaching your students. I really do think they will understand, in the same way as the students who were turned down for that class that day, who understood the situation. You could only do so much for us. Besides, you have done so much for us already – especially, listening to our many suggestions and teaching in many methods you could think possible. No one has done what you have been doing all these time, it is almost a sacrifice on your part.

Sometimes, less is more. Proper pacing and the right amount of quantity although little sometimes produces the best quality. Well, this is just an honest suggestion, as some of your fans do care for your welfare too.

Nice meeting you through my website here! I’m glad to hear that your grandmother likes me. : ) I usually post my meetup plan in advance on my blog. Stay tuned! I’m looking forward to meeting you, too!

I love your videos, it has been so inspiring I have decided to learn how to cook Korean food and create a blog to start posting. Even though I am a Korean and a professional cook I have never learned to cook Korean food, what a shame. I just enjoyed my grandmother’s dishes and ignored to learn a wonderful cuisine. Thank you again for inspiring me and my grandmother loves your videos as well. Please let me know the next time you have an upcoming class in Los Angeles, I’ll be there for sure.

Michael Choi
