Corporate and community fermentation workshops

Kimchi-making workshop

Learn the secrets of creating the classic Korean ferment with your team

You’ll learn the science and practicalities of lacto-fermentation and the techniques to create delicious and gut-healthy kimchi. We’ll make a classic Korean baechu kimchi with napa cabbage, radish and carrot, preparing the vegetables in the traditional way and creating a spice paste to match individual heat tolerances - add as much or as little chilli as you can take!

Participants will take home their own, personally created jar of kimchi along with a recipe and info sheet.

It’s a fun, hands-on way to spend time with colleagues, boost team morale and make a contribution to gut health which can be so important for physical and mental wellbeing.

I can come to your workplace: we just need enough space for everyone to sit or stand around a table or workbench and access to running water. I provide all ingredients and equipment and make sure the place is left spick and span. Alternatively, let me know if you’d like to hire a space for the workshop.

Duration: 90 minutes - 2 hours
Take home ferments: 1

Cost per person: £35 (minimum spend £350)

Drop me an email or book a call to discuss your workshop.

Julia, class attendee

“Clare Heal is a master at this craft and explained and demonstrated clearly and professionally. We all walked away with jars of fermented yumminess, ready to try our beginners luck at home. I highly recommend this class to beginners and experienced fermenters alike. A great gift for the pickle lover in your world!”

Culture breeds culture.

I’m always working on new classes and workshops, exploring more traditions and techniques to bring delicious, health-enhancing ferments to a wider audience.
