Kimchee Classes with Ms. Kim

Ever wanted to make your own kimchee, but too intimidated to try? After a HANDS ON Kimchee Workshop with Ji Young Kim, you'll know all there is to know about making traditional, flavorful and nutritious kimchee at home.  

Ms. Kim is available for private workshops both in NYC and Roxbury, New York (the Catskills). We use organic produce grown at our farm, which you and Ji will prepare into two types of kimchee to take home.  Plus, Ji will prepare an authentic Korean lunch to enjoy throughout the workshop. She is the best cook in the world (we're not biased at all), so you want to come hungry!

A typical workshop is approximately 4 hours and includes
  • 30-40 minute lecture about the history of kimchee, benefits of making and cooking food at home and developing your own flavor, plus an education on the health benefits of fermented foods
  • 1 hour preparing kimchee, 2 seasonal varieties
  • 1 hour eating lunch
  • wrap up & pack your kimchee into jars to take home, (2) 1/2 gallons. 
Plus, leave with Ms. Kim's pantry recommendations and tips about how to use farm market vegetables and foraged foods to make your homemade sauces for banchans, salads and marinades. Ji is from Pusan where kimchee is typically loaded up with seafood, however Ji has recipes with maple syrup, kombu and fruit for vegan, vegetarian diets.
