Overview
Step into the world of fermentation on this one-day class at Leiths dedicated purely to pickling and kimchi. Having grown in popularity amongst the food community in recent years, pickling and fermenting vegetables is a great way of preserving and adding nutrient-rich probiotics and flavour dimension to any dish.
This class will take you through each recipe from start to finish, exploring the science behind the fermentation process to assist you in perfecting your pickling and fermentation, as well as some classic recipes. At the end of this session, you’ll take all your creations with you, prepped and ready to be left to ferment for a few days or weeks at home, before being enjoyed.
