Vegan Fermentation Workshop: Kimchi

Learn how to make vegan kimchi in Melbourne!



2 hours 15 mins Location South Melbourne Class size 2 to 4 guests   $60 - $120 ($60 for Children under 15; $120 for Adult) (Afterpay available)

In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to ferment almost any vegetable using flexible, inclusive, and waste-free methods. You’ll work with a WHOLE wombok, rather than pre-chopped like store-bought kimchi.
We’ll make vibrant vegan kimchi using often-overlooked parts of produce—such as stems and leaves—turning what many discard into flavourful gold.
To finish, we’ll share a light meal made with our kimchi, showing that fermentation is not just preservation—it’s transformation.

  • A batch of your own kimchi (800g-1kg per participant)
  • A light meal plus tea
  • Recipe cards to continue fermenting at home
  • Ongoing support via online chat

Recent reviews of Vegan Fermentation Workshop: Kimchi

  • 5/5 from Chopppper1010@gmail.com, attended Feb 2026: We had such a lovely time at the kimchi workshop. It was really nice to try different kinds of kimchi and learn about Korean fermentation. The food was so good too. We tried tteokbokki, gimbap, japchae and a few other dishes made with fermented pastes and sauces. Everything was yummm! It was a really nice thing to do as a family, and we’re definitely going to try making kimchi at home. We really enjoyed the whole afternoon!
  • 5/5 from Gabbi Tauber, attended Feb 2026: Absolutely amazing experience. So much love and care goes into every part of it from the prep to answering every possible question we could have had. Can’t recommend more highly for delicious kimchi and other Korean foods!

With a background in design and a deep love for vegetables, I’ve spent years cooking plant-based meals in café kitchens and working closely with local farmers markets. I’m passionate about zero-waste living — not just as a concept, but as a sustainable everyday practice.
I never liked kimchi growing up. It was ugly. It was stinky. But just like fermentation, I changed. I matured. And somewhere along the way, I found a way to make kimchi my own — to turn it into something I actually found beautiful.
My fermentation journey began with vegan kimchi and evolved into a series of hands-on workshops, where food scraps became conversation starters. One of my favourite sessions, Where is my beetroot stalks?, turned an environmental issue into something playful and delicious through fermentation.
I’m a living microbe — constantly changing, adapting, and sharing life.
