English: with Chef Soh Young Lee-Segredo

I grew up in Seoul, Korea; however, often visited my maternal grandmother in Kyungki Province and she used to make Jun and tell stories. My older cousins and I went from house to house at night, eating roasted chestnuts and Korean sweet potatoes cooked in the middle of the room in a hot metal pot called Hwa-Ro. We listened to elders' stories. Come to learn how to make Jun and listen to intergenerational stories! Perhaps you can bring your kitchen stories with you for National Poetry Month.
