EXPERIENCING THE REAL BALI

Cheryl_L, Nov 2024

Excellent day spent at Lesung Cooking School…Starting with Hotel pickup, morning tour of local market where Ron explained the different vegetables and fruit and some of the Balinese traditions and then onto a Commune house for a refreshing morning tea. After this we started out cooking experience which was really enjoyable with Ron as our experienced Chef and Ketuk his Assistant. We first off made a Paste which was the basis of all our dishes…chicken, fish, tempeh and Sambal. All the dishes were really tasty and it was a great experience all round. Ron was extremely helpful and a great teacher and it was great to have Ketuk to clean up. We would definitely recommend doing this if you want to experience a little bit of the real Bali.

Really enjoyed the experience-learned a lot about Balinese culture and history. The cooking was full on but our efforts were rewarded by a lovely lunch (come hungry as we couldn’t finish it)

Very enjoyable

My husband and I did this class together, the Driver Yoga picked us up exactly on time and spoke good English. We arrived at a very traditional market place greeted by our guide Nyoman, who escorted us around to show us the Balinese way, he was very informative and friendly. We later went to his family residence to cook in a lovely kitchen facility set up with all the equipment, very clean and well presented. We learned the mother of all sauce and various ways in which to use it, plus many other dishes included. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves to cook and learn new things experiences.

Excellent food and knowledge shared

My husband and I love to cook and learn about other cultures so this was a perfect experience. The markets were very interesting and the variety of food was great and yummy. The teacher was also very helpful, kind and knowledgeable.
