🥢 What You’ll Do (The Experience)

We don't just dump vegetables in a jar. This is an interactive, social, and deeply satisfying cooking class:

• The Spiciness Calibration (Kimchi Tasting):

Not sure how much heat you can handle?

Sam will prepare three separate batches of Kimchi 12 days before the workshop, ranging from mild to fiery.

You’ll taste them all to find your perfect spice level!

• The Prep & Craft:

Learn the science of knife cuts and how shapes impact texture, crunch, and mouthfeel.

We'll mix up a vibrant paste using white cabbage, radish, carrot, apple, garlic, ginger, and traditional sauces.

• The Fresh Snack:

Any Kimchi that doesn't fit into your massive 2L jar?

We'll top it with roasted sesame seeds and eat it fresh on the spot as geotjeori!

• The PostClass Perks:

After the workshop, you'll get a detailed step by step PDF recipe complete with exact gram measurements, ingredient deep dives, and a curated list of where to buy the best local ingredients in Amsterdam.

🌱 Dietary Note:

The standard recipe uses fish sauce and saeujeot (shrimp).

Vegan, vegetarian, and glutenfree alternatives (using miso, soy sauce, or tamari) are fully available!

Just message Sam ahead of time so your station is ready.
