The Yogyakarta cooking class with ibu Herni introduces you to local food culture starting at a neighbourhood market. You will shop for fresh ingredients and explore the market’s authentic sights and products, including ten kinds of rice. Along the way you’ll see how ingredients are presented and sold in a typical Javanese market setting.
After the market visit you will return to the class, where ibu Herni will explain the recipes as you relax with a cup of tea or coffee. When everything is prepared, you’ll grind the spices yourself using traditional methods. This hands-on step helps you learn how Javanese herbs and spices are combined and used in your own Javanese dish, giving you practical experience as well as a deeper sense of the flavours and techniques.
