Kimchi is one of the most flavorful and satisfying foods to make at home—bold, deeply nourishing, and endlessly adaptable. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make three distinct styles of kimchi while building a practical foundation in fermentation.

Together, we’ll explore the essential techniques behind Korean-style vegetable fermentation and prepare a range of kimchis that highlight different textures, flavors, and levels of fermentation—from spicy napa cabbage kimchi to crisp radish kimchi and refreshing water kimchi.

In this workshop you’ll:

  • Learn the fundamentals of kimchi-making and vegetable fermentation
  • Make a classic napa cabbage kimchi rich with chili, garlic, and aromatics
  • Prepare a crisp cubed radish kimchi with quick fermentation
  • Create a refreshing water kimchi with a lightly fermented broth
  • Learn how timing, storage, and ingredients shape flavor and texture
  • Gain the confidence to continue making kimchi at home

You’ll leave with jars of kimchi, a deeper understanding of fermentation, and the confidence to continue making and adapting kimchi at home.

No prior fermentation experience required.
