You will begin early in Sidemen at the local markets, choosing fresh herbs and spices, crisp vegetables and choice cuts of meat. Along the way you will join guided ‘padi’ expeditions through the surrounding fields, seeing the landscape and ingredients where many dishes originate.
Back in Sidemen village you will be welcomed into a fully equipped community village kitchen. Your host will guide you as you learn traditional preparation methods and create your own authentic Balinese dishes. The menu typically includes chicken satay and Tum Tahu telor (steamed tofu and EEG mixed with traditional spices and wrapped in banana leaf). The experience focuses on hands-on cooking with local ingredients and techniques, led by an experienced local host.
