EP3. STAY HOME, STAY HEALTHY: Making Kimchi at Home!

Описание: EP3. STAY HOME, STAY HEALTHY: Making Kimchi at Home!

This week, we will watch 10 participants make kimchi at home, in a three-part series. All the recipes are straight from our brand new kimchi recipe book that can be found on our website!

This year, more than ever, it is important to stay healthy and take care of those around you. The benefits of fermented foods like kimchi are well documented, but the cultural significance around the preparation of kimchi is less well-known outside of Korea. Like ‘stir up Sunday’, Koreans have Kimjang, where villagers gather in late autumn/early winter to make kimchi for the months ahead. Communities gather to make sure there is enough kimchi for no one in the village to go hungry in the winter months ahead, and kimchi recipes are passed down from generation to generation.

Thank you to all our amazing participants who made kimchi for the Kimjang Festival - well done to all of you!

The Kimjang Festival is now a part of the annual Kingston Korea Festival is organised by the Korean British Cultural Exchange (KBCE), a charity that runs educational activities and events to promote Korean culture in the UK. The Kimjang Festival began as part of the Kimjang Project 2019, Kimjang: Making and Sharing Kimchi. A project that was made possible due to funding by the National Heritage Lottery Fund.
