What you will make – please bring 3 preserving jars or pre order from us £5 each.

Kimchi and Sauerkraut are great side dishes which can be eaten with any meal and are traditionally made by fermenting cabbage but many other vegetables can be used. Korean kimchi is hot and spicy whilst sauerkraut has a distinctive sour flavour –  the result of lactic acid formed when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage leaves.

Probiotic drink on arrival and the food you make – please bring three or more glass preserving jars, at least 500ml or pre order from us at £5 each. The class will last 2.5 to 3 hours depending on number of guests. You will eat your dishes on the night and take home your jars of fermented Sauerkraut and Kimchi.
