Welcome to: The Kimchi Masterclass
Meet your host: Kimmy
Originally from Seoul, Kimmy grew up with kimchi as part of everyday family life. After moving to the UK, she began sharing the flavours, traditions and knowledge behind Korean kimchi, making naturally fermented, unpasteurised kimchi using traditional methods. Through her workshops, Kimmy shares Korean food culture and fermentation in a relaxed, practical way, giving guests the confidence to make their own kimchi at home.
Make Your Own Korean Kimchi
Create your own traditional Korean kimchi from start to finish, preparing and seasoning the vegetables before mixing and packing your own batch. Along the way, you’ll learn about Korean ingredients, fermentation and how kimchi develops its flavour over time, before leaving with your own freshly made kimchi and everything you need to make your next batch at home.
