Culture Club – Tempeh Making Workshop

Discover the joy of making tempeh from scratch!



4 hours Class size 12 to 40 guests       $135

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.

What you'll get

- Hands-on guidance in traditional tempeh making. - Soybeans and starter culture provided in class. - Notes and recipes for making and cooking with tempeh. - Your own tempeh to take home and ferment.
