Kimjang is the act of making, and then sharing with family and neighbours, a large amount of kimchi to last them all through the long winter months. It traditionally takes place in early winter or late autumn. Kimjang: Making and Sharing Kimchi is a new project made possible by money raised by National Lottery players. Last year, the first ever annual Kimjang Festival took place on New Malden High Street. Earlier this year, we launched a unique recipe book collating South Korean, North Korean, Chinese Korean and localised kimchi recipes from local chefs.
