Sandor Katz is a fermentation icon – his books all underground classics. He travels the world delivering workshops and learning about different fermentation techniques. When he agreed to teach for us we were elated. Over to Sandor. “This is a basic kimchi, perfect if you’ve never made it before and need to learn the process. Once you’ve made it a few times experiment with different vegetables and proportions of chilli. I love kimchi for its deep umami flavour coupled with the spiciness.
