Praised by The New York Times as “one of the world’s most extraordinary culinary traditions,” Korean temple cuisine takes center stage in Monks in the Kitchen. For the first time, six master monks representing Korean temple cuisine come together to cook, share meals, and reveal the philosophies and life stories behind their food. Through special cooking missions and conversations, the series explores a culinary tradition rooted in seasonal ingredients, fermentation, and harmony with nature. Blending food, spirituality, and human connection, Monks in the Kitchen offers an intimate and engaging look at the depth, beauty, and evolving future of Korean temple cuisine.
