Balinese Ritual Fare, Special Occasion and Healing Foods Hands-on Cooking Experience by Lilly Wright (Flying Chillies)

This class is suitable for a beginner. You will have the opportunity to mingle with other participants, learn from others, and chat with Lilly.

Cooking is just one of the many ways to connect with the universe. And when we speak about the universe, we talk about the plants and the animals, water, earth, fire, air, and the whole planets.

Celebratory feasts and the dishes that come with all the rituals are laced with meaning. They are laboriously prepared, intricately spiced, and sometimes colour coded to pique our senses, appeal to certain energies, and remind us that life is a multifaceted experience.

Our food is a gift, a teacher, an energy source, an offering, and a miracle from the earth. A perfect instrument, some might say, to express our love for our inner and other homes, the universe.

The menu for this class will be:

• Loloh Kunyit (Medicinal turmeric tonic)

• Pastel kentang (Potato curry puff)

• Lawar Nangka (Jackfruit & burnt coconut salad)

• Bekakak Ayam (Grilled basa genap chicken)

• Balung (Beef bone stew)

• Sambal Ulet Bongkot (Torch ginger flower sambal with fried tofu)

• Nasi Bira (Ceremonial yellow rice)

• Bubur ketan hitam (Black rice porridge with coconut milk)

Enjoy the feast in our beautiful communal dining setting, finishing off with a delicious dessert. Have opportunities to ask questions and learn more about Indonesian cuisine.
