This is a fun activity in West Ealing, London
Join this small, hands-on kimchi workshop in London and discover a one-of-a-kind tasting and making experience that will help you switch off and immerse yourself in Korea's biggest culinary culture.
As well as learning to make your own kimchi, we offer a unique guided kimchi tasting session, where you will sample homemade kimchi across five to seven different stages of fermentation – from a freshly tossed batch to a richly aged six-month version. It's a friendly, flavour-packed way to experience how Korea's most iconic dish develops over time.
Don't worry if you've never fermented anything before; the class is carefully designed to suit anyone who is interested in making kimchi. Your teacher will guide you step-by-step through an incredibly simple recipe designed for consistent, delicious results. You'll get hands-on experience crafting two of the most popular styles from scratch:
- Cut-cabbage kimchi (Mak-Kimchi) – Learn the simple method of prepping, salting, and seasoning cabbage.
- Cucumber kimchi salad – Whip up a fresh, crunchy side dish packed with instant flavour.
After mastering your mixes, you'll learn how to use matured kimchi to cook crisp, savoury kimchi pancakes. They're wonderfully easy to make and completely addictive!
To celebrate your new skills together, you'll finish the session with a comforting, delicious set meal featuring everything that goes perfectly with kimchi:
- Your handmade kimchi – Taste your fresh creations alongside classic seasoned sides.
- Korean BBQ grilled chicken – Savour perfectly grilled, smoky chicken.
- Steamed rice and beansprouts – Complete your plate with traditional accompaniments.
- Nourishing broth – Sip a warm, comforting soup that balances the meal beautifully.
By the time you finish, you'll have experienced a wonderful kitchen breakthrough, leaving you with the absolute confidence to recreate perfect fermentation loops at home. You'll head away ready to upgrade your everyday cooking, carrying your freshly made jars of cabbage and cucumber kimchi, alongside printed recipe cards covering every single step. Everything you need on the day is fully provided, so just show up and enjoy the fun!
