Spotlight On Sabina: A Journey From Tradition To Sustainability
Growing up in Korea, fermented foods were a daily staple for Sabina. Yet, she used to feel hesitant sharing dishes like kimchi due to its strong aroma and unique appearance. However, moving to Melbourne changed everything. Missing her favourite flavours, she began making her own kimchi using vibrant, locally sourced ingredients. This journey led her to create a unique ruby-red kimchi and sparked passion for reducing food waste through fermentation.
Inspired by her heritage and an eye-opening moment during a food shop where she noticed discarded beetroot stalks, Sabina's course project, "Where Are My Beetroot Stalks?" aims to reimagine how we view and use vegetable parts that are often overlooked. Her workshop teaches participants preservation techniques, such as fermentation, to give new life to produce like beetroot stalks while benefiting both health and the environment.
With the Environmental Leadership Course laying the foundation, Sabina is bringing her innovative approach to South Melbourne Market, showing us all how food education, creativity and sustainability can come together for a healthier planet.
