Make traditional Korean kimchi from scratch & feast together

Sissi & Häran both come from two cultures that loves to cook and eat together. Nothing compares to the familiar feeling of making food collectively for everyone to enjoy. They will be hosting a hands-on workshop to showcase traditional Kimchi making. The focus is on two types of Kimchi : Mat-Kimchi (easy and quick) and Gimjang Kimchi (Traditional style of kimchi to ferment for a long time over the winter). These are the two of the most common Kimchis and with this basic recipe, you'll be able to tweak and develop your own version later!
Learn everything you need to know about the Kimchi making process, which is an integral part of the Korean culture and everything that goes into the labor of work. Sissi will preprare some traditional Chinese scallion pancakes from her childhood to snack on and we will finish by tasting fresh Kimchi with Korean bossam or tofu.
Important details:
- Participants must bring their Cutting board (as big one as possible) and a knife, an apron (or black clothing to avoid Kimchi stains!)
- All other ingredients will be ready prepared
- Each person will bring back home around 1.5-2 kg of Kimchi + full recipe (excel file : able to change the value)
Rough schedule:

15:00 - tasting fresh Kimchi with bossam (Korean boiled pork or tofu)
Your ticket includes the snacks, the Kimchi making, high quality jars to take it back home and the fresh Kimchi tasting with bossam/tofu. Water and tea is provided, all other drinks like beer or wine are extra.
