Tempeh might be one of the most underrated plant-based proteins; nutty, hearty and packed with goodness. And the best part? You can make it yourself.
In this workshop, you’ll learn the art of traditional tempeh making, from soybeans to finished fermentation.
We’ll guide you step by step through the process: preparing and inoculating the beans, encouraging fermentation and understanding the science behind what makes tempeh such a nutrient-dense staple. Along the way, you’ll discover tips for flavouring, cooking, and storing tempeh so you can bring this versatile protein into your everyday meals.
By the end of the class, you’ll have the skills (and starter culture) to keep making tempeh at home and the confidence to add a delicious, sustainable protein to your kitchen repertoire.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 5 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
