Introduction To Kimchi

Originating in Korea centuries ago, this fermentation technique has recently surged in popularity worldwide. Many shy away from making kimchi at home, but fear not - it's much simpler than you think!

In our workshop, we'll delve into what kimchi truly is, its rich history and how effortlessly you can whip up a batch in minutes at home. As part of the broader lacto-fermentation family, kimchi not only enhances your everyday meals with delightful flavour but also offers superb nutrition.

All skill levels are welcome, whether you're a novice venturing into fermentation for the first time or a seasoned enthusiast seeking fresh and innovative approaches. The session concludes with a tasting journey, exploring diverse ferments crafted from local or foraged ingredients.

Every participant will craft their own unique batch of kimchi from scratch, allowing for a personalised blend of flavors and spices. We'll provide detailed instructions and ensure you're well-versed in the health and safety aspects of kimchi-making.

To maintain an intimate atmosphere where everyone can learn at their own pace and ask questions freely, we're limiting attendance to a small group.
