The second season of Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars has turned Korean temple food into a highly competitive global spectacle, bringing the Venerable Seonjae a flood of offers to capitalise on her new-found fame.
South Korea’s first designated master of temple food has refused the commercial hype, choosing to educate international and younger audiences about a cuisine rooted in mindfulness and ecological concerns.
“Others suggest I should capitalise on the momentum with variety shows and advertisements, but my way of acting is educating younger generations about our food culture to protect it and teach wisdom.”
