Kimchi Making
13 June 2021
Fermentation is one of the oldest food processing methods still used today.
In this course, we will cover the basic science behind making kimchi, why it’s good for you, and we’ll teach you how to make it yourself. If you are interested in traditional food preservation, gut health, or fermentation in general, this is the class for you!
Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings. In traditional preparations, kimchi was stored underground in jars to keep cool during the summer months and unfrozen during the winter months. There are hundreds of varieties of kimchi using everything from the traditional Chinese cabbage (Wong Bok) to cauliflower to cucumbers.
Each participant will take home their own jar of kimchi so bring a jar with a screw-on lid, a chopping board and a knife
Registrations close on 11 June.

Sustainability Award
We are thrilled and honoured to receive the SUSTAINABILITY AWARD as a Joint Winner, along with Zealandia-Karori Sanctuary Trust, at the 2021 NZ Charity Reporting Awards.
Engine Bay volunteers win the Upper Harbour Environment Award
Engine Bay Native Plant Nursery has been around for 10 years and it still operates out of a shed with very limited facilities. Yet, this does not deter the regular volunteers to turn up weekly all year-round in all conditions, rain or shine.
Connecting communities to their environment and to each other
We're humbled to be acknowledged in the Adult and Community Education Aotearoa's newsletter. The article stresses the importance of building relationships and engaging with diverse groups in the community though sustainability workshops and volunteering activities in the nursery, teaching garden or local reserves.
