Join Jo Webster and Caroline Gilmartin for a mind and taste-bud-expanding, hands-on kimchi experience. We will learn a little about the origins of kimchi, the ways in which it might benefit health and different ways you can weave it into your home life.
Of course, you will also help make some kimchi to take home. And you will have the opportunity to eat kimchi in more ways than you might imagine! By the end of the day, you will be ready to continue your kimchi adventure at home, with your mind brimming with ideas and possibilities.
A delicious meal involving kimchi (in different forms) (and other ferments) awaits you at the lunch table to ensure you are inspired and energised for this unique event.
Once you've got the bug, there's no going back! This is a delicious and fun way to support your own health.
There is some capacity for concessionary places where they are needed. Please email Jo if you would like further information.

Come appropriately dressed in comfortable clothes and footwear ready to make kimchi. Please wear covered toed shoes and bring your own apron. Please also bring a hair tie or clip if you have long hair

If you want to make a weekend of it, Bristol is well worth the visit, as is nearby Bath and Wells.

The venue is Caroline’s delightful Clifton home, and she has just repainted her hallway especially!!
There is one step into the property, a ground floor loo and a pet cat.
As there is no visitor parking on Cliftonwood Terrace, please park on Church Lane or Ambrose Road, where there is free parking on Sundays. This is 3-4 minutes’ walk away from the venue.

Jo is an AFN registered associate nutritionist, a medical herbalist (with a special interest in gut health) and a fermentologist. Kimchi is a much-loved part of her fermentation practice. She is currently working on her PhD, the subject-matter of which is kimchi and earlier in the year, she visited South Korea, the home of kimchi. Jo is a proponent of being the change we want to see in the world.
Caroline is a doctor of microbiology and the owner of Every Good Thing; a company that specialises in fermented food cultures and education. She is the author of two books on the subject; Fermented Foods, a Practical Approach and Vinegar (both published by Crowood). Caroline loves kimchi too and is the reason Jo is hooked on kimchi toasties!
They met several years ago when Jo organised a Guinness world record-setting Sauerkrautathon in Wells and Caroline came to help, they have been egging each other on ever since; partners in brine, you might say!

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for Friday. Your passion and contagious enthusiasm truly inspired both the chefs and me. We had an incredibly enjoyable training session and gained a wealth of valuable insights about fermentation and gut health. I can't wait to see what the chefs do going forward with their newfound knowledge and skills within the BM restaurants. - BM Caterers
