About this class
Let's Make Kimchi! – A Hands-On Fermentation Experience
Whether you're new to fermentation or already a fan, this session will guide you through the entire kimchi-making process — from preparing the vegetables and mixing the paste to packing your own jars to take home.
Each participant will make two jars of kimchi and enjoy a tasting alongside a Korean-style snack and refreshments. All vegetables used are organic (where available), and the workshop is designed to be fun, practical, and delicious.
We'll also explore the cultural roots of kimchi, Korea's beloved fermented dish, cover the basics of fermentation, and share tips for customizing your batch to suit your taste.

We start the event with a round of introductions and then roll our sleeves up to chop and salt the cabbage, make the paste and chop other vegetables.
Once that's done, we take a little break to taste different kinds of kimchi along with a korean-style snack. We'll chat about fermentation, including the cultural roots of Kimchi and other asian traditions of fermenting vegetables.
With our batteries recharges, we finish by coating the cabbage with the kimchi paste, adding special ingredients/flavours if participants wish, and stuffing our kimchi in jars to take home.
