A hands-on cooking and fermentation class culminating in a meal served with wine and beer. Students will leave class with a jar of handmade kimchi to continue fermenting at home.
Join our fermentation maven Nishanga Bliss in an exploration of kimchi. This fiery, popular fermented ingredient inspired Nishanga to create a menu from the Pacific Rim, also known as the Ring of Fire (how fitting!). We will begin with a chile tasting, make our spice paste as a class, and then each person will create a custom batch of kimchi to ferment at home. You will learn many ways to enjoy kimchi: as a seasoning in cocktails and mocktails, a source of spice and umami in beet poke, in savory pancakes, and in a comforting soup of complex and satisfying flavor. In between bites, bring all of your fermentation questions to the table, as this menu is as beneficial to your microbiome as much as it is delicious!
