Marraum's combined love of food guided us on this team day, which took us into Falmouth and into the kitchen of The Ope to learn about Korean food.
We also had time to have a go ourselves. We started with making Kimchi, which is a great way to preserve food — a strong flavour and definitely one to try. After this we had a go at traditional Korean dumplings, which were a hit for everyone.
Once we had all had a go we were served the real deal.
