KIMCHI MAKING WORKSHOP
Welcome to our first collaboration with a health and wellness provider! We're working with MVPR Therapy to bring you a day of kimchi making and stretch therapy. Jacquie from Sonyo Food Co will start with the kimchi making workshop and then Mark from MVPR will lead a stretching session with insights on healthier living and functional recovery to help in your wellness journey - supported by a good gut 😉
Meet members from the community, prepare and take home a 1L jar of vegan kimchi to enjoy, and learn new stretches to practice at home to relieve tension and stress. Materials and ingredients will be provided so all you need to bring is yourself 💕
This workshop will be held at MVPR's North York location at 465 McNicoll Avenue, Toronto. Parking is available and the site is accessible by transit (TTC).
Limited spots available.
In an effort to help members of our community in need, if you are able to, we encourage the donation of new or lightly used winter items and/or those listed in the last image (first care items, essential items, food bank items). These items will be delivered to Haven on The Queensway.
Note: At checkout it will ask to select delivery or pick up. Either option works to proceed. There is no product being delivered or picked up. It is an in-person workshop at 465 McNicoll Avenue, Toronto :) more details will be emailed a week before the workshop.
Customer Reviews
This was so much fun and so interesting. We learned about the history of Kimchi and how it varies from one region to another. Another part I loved is the love and respect given to parents and grandparents and those before them. I’d never tried Kimchi before. We were able to taste premade there, along with mung bean pancakes. And we each took home a large mason jar!
I loved this workshop! Very professional yet casual in approach, not intimidating for both the kimchi making and stretching exercise. It is important to pass along traditions especially when it comes to food as food unites us all. Jacquie had this intention and she has succeeded! I have found another way to bond with family and friends.
Thank you Jacqueline for a wonderful kimchi-making session! The class was enjoyable, easy to follow and best of all - kimchi was delicious! I will definitely be trying this on my own!
We had an amazing time at our kimchi making workshop. It was filled with pleasant little surprises. We learned so much and felt so connected to our teacher and her grandmother as well as her ancestors. I feel greatly appreciative to have gained the knowledge of the process of making kimchi which has been passed on for many years.
I've always seen kimchi but never knew what goes into the manufacturing process. I went to Jacquie's workshop with my girlfriend and we both had a lot of fun. The tools and required veggies had all been set for us before we got there and Jacquie was an excellent host.
Throughout the kimchi making process, she would provide information on the correct way to cut the vegetables, how to wash, how to select, what to substitute, which ingredients she thinks are the best, cultural details behind her kimchi (North Korean style based on her grandmother's recipe), different types of kimchi, etc.
She cooked some kimchi pancakes for us as refreshment and provided some kimchi so we could taste what our hard work would result in. I loved her energy and vibe, how she would always be ready with answers to questions and how welcomed she made us feel.
10/10, would recommend.
