We did the afternoon cooking class on the 8th of September and we really had the most amazing time. Initially we wanted to do the cooking class in the morning but there was no longer any place left, I only called the day before so my mistake, because they do not want to exceed a certain number of participants due to possibly having a negative impact on the quality of the course (which is a good thing). Wayan picked us up at our hotel and then had to pickup some other persons who would join us. We drove to his village and he gave some explanation about the rice fields and how they are maintained. We then went to his house where we met Puspa. She went on to explain the house temple and the layout of their house and the kitchen.

After a welcome drink it was time to get to it. We started off chopping the ingredients. Once this was done we started with the real cooking, contrary to other cooking classes we had to do everything so not just chopping. We will have a lot of good luck after this cooking class because Puspa always added a bit more spices "for good luck" as she tells us. ;-)
After having made the first course we enjoyed eating it and I must say this was one of the best Indonesian we ate during our holiday (maybe the effort of making it has put a subjective view on this...). We proceeded to make the main course and dessert. Unfortunatly a part of our group had an appointment where they had to be, so instead of taking us all back to the hotel, Wayan went to drop them off at their appointment and then came back and waited until we were ready to leave. Talk about service.

This was a very very nice experience which I have no problem recommending to anybody. If you can spare the time and you like Indonesian food/cooking make sure you plan this cooking class in your schedule. You won't regret it!
