Kimchi Fermentation and Aliveness Workshop + Social Brunch
Get ready to ferment, feast, and fall a little in love with your microbiome! Pleasure through the senses, spice, good company, and the science of good living — rounded off with some delicious surprises. It is going to be juicy, it is going to be alive, and it is going to be Edible Chemistry. 🌶️🧪✨
Come join us for a hands-on fermentation workshop where we combine science, storytelling, and the magic of chemistry to nourish your gut, soul, and mind! 🧠✨ Come solo or bring a partner-in-crime.
The workshop centres on the art and science of making kimchi — how fermentation transforms ingredients, impacts your gut, and quietly changes how you feel. Expect tasty surprises along the way.
Dirty hands, full belly, kimchi in your bag — the workshop flows into a kimchi-inspired social brunch with plenty of time for Q&A.
Includes kimchi to take home, finger-licking-good recipe, and a light brunch in a gorgeous culinary venue in Lapa, Lisbon. Limited group size (~12 persons) to retain intimacy and foster high frequency chemistry! If you want a nurturing moment with community and happy bacteria - this is for you!

About Edible Chemistry:
We are Lisbon's first multidimensional fermentation and aliveness school, at the intersection of food, science, and sensuality. We unite people to transform from the inside out with happy bacteria. We see fermentation as the chemical process of transforming something raw and ordinary, into something extraordinary: alive, nutritionally rich, and even magical. 🧪🌶️✨
About your host, Lucy: Lucy picked up her taste for Kimchi whilst living in South Korea in 2016. With a Masters in chemistry, Lucy brought her fascination of catalysis (the art of speeding up reactions) together with her passion for food, and started her building her bacteria family and home fermentation lab in Lisbon in 2023.
Lucy leverages a decade of delivering transformations for diverse communities around the world: from Silicon Valley executives, to refugees of 30+ nationalities, to African governments. She is now reconnecting to her chemical roots and channelling that wisdom into how you can transform yourself from the inside out: through your gut. She is notorious for 'contaging' people with her passion for making delicious, healthy produce.. that is also alive!

Looking forward to cooking up some magic together! 🧪💃
