Korean Lunar New Year’s Eve Dinner and Traditions

Friday, February 9
$85.00

The Korean Lunar New Year dinner, known as “seollal,” is a special occasion where family and friends come together to share a traditional meal. The dinner is not only a time for enjoying delicious food, but also for honoring ancestors and paying respects to elders. It is a significant cultural event that signifies the start of a new year and strengthens familial bonds.  But the evening meal the night before Lunar New Year also has significance and traditions.

The meal before Lunar New Year, known as “Jeongwol Daeboreum,” is a significant Korean tradition that involves the preparation and consumption of various dishes. This meal typically consists of sticky rice cake soup (tteokguk), bibimbap, and various side dishes (banchan). It is believed that consuming this meal will bring good luck, health, and prosperity for the upcoming year. The meal before Lunar New Year not only serves as a time for families to gather and enjoy a delicious feast but also holds cultural and symbolic significance in Korean tradition.

Join us as Chef Laura helps you prepare this traditional meal and tells you how her and her family have always celebrated these traditions and the significance behind them. By joining us, you’ll ensure that your Lunar New Year is a true culinary masterpiece that brings joy and prosperity for the year ahead.
