About the Event
Tempeh-making is a technical practice, but with the right equipment and tools, you’ll have a block of delicious tempeh in your kitchen in no time. Using kitchen magic, we will condense the key steps of a 2-3 day process into a hands-on primer on the basics, from boiling and inoculating beans, to incubation and culinary uses! Students will take home a block of freshly fermented tempeh as well as inoculated beans to incubate at home.
This workshop is led by craft tempeh company Reculture Foods co-owners Feby and Melati. They will share an expansive understanding of the cultural context of Indonesian tempeh and how it gained popularity in the United States. (Spoiler alert, the Bay Area played an important role!) They will weave the topics of history and reclamation in with the technical science of fermentation.
All students will receive a 10% discount on post-workshop purchases at Preserved. The minimum age for our workshops is 14 years old.
All Workshop Sales are final. Reschedule requests require 5 days advanced notice. Review our complete Cancellation Policy here.

Tempeh Demo Workshop
This is a demonstration-style class. Bay Area based Reculture Foods ferments soy-based tempeh reminiscent of Indonesia, the makers’ ancestral land. We will engage in the topics of ferments, culture, and reclamation (and a tiny bit of fermentation science). Join us!
Tabling Day at Preserved
Feby and Melati will be tabling their tempeh at the gorgeous new location of Preserved - a culinary grocery and homegoods shop foocused on preservation and fermentation. They frequently host workshops with classes on everything from cheese, to miso, to pickling, to fermented sodas, to Chinese bao. Best place for gift-giving for yourself and friends.
