Spend a day in Lovina
This booking is for the Lovina cooking class only. If you’d like to also include a car and driver, I’d recommend booking a private car and driver for North Bali. You can also enjoy a full day in Lovina by starting the morning with some dolphin watching with the Lovina Dolphin Watching Day Tour (See below). After your dolphin watching experience, your driver can take you to your Lovina cooking class.
Lovina Cooking Class Overview
Your Lovina cooking class will be hosted by Meja Satu, a family-owned program managed by Tammy and her father, Danny – a professional chef with decades of kitchen experience under his belt. I’ve personally met with Danny and the first thing I noticed was his passion for the art of cooking.
The cooking class aims to provide with an in-depth experience, throwing you into the richness of Indonesian and Balinese cuisines. Here is where you’ll learn about the wide variety of spices Indonesia is famous for.
You’ll be learning in a fully stacked kitchen with all the necessary utensil and equipment. The environment is spacious and well-lit, providing the perfect space to learn cooking.
Cooking Class Menu
There are 2 main menus to choose from where you can select the dishes that interest you the most – Indonesian Menu and the Dessert Menu. Danny will help recommend some if you are unfamiliar with Indonesian food. Here are some of the dishes you can learn to make at the Lovina cooking class:
- Rendang – the most famous beef dish in Indonesia
- Gado-Gado – mixed veggies with peanut sauce
- Tempe Manis – fermented soy beans with sweet soy sauce
- Ayam Betutu – chicken with rich Balinese spices
- Nasi Kuning – yellow rice
- Nasi Goreng – Indonesian fried rice
- and many more
Optional Market Tour
An optional add-on to your Lovina cooking class is a market tour. This takes you on a guided trip to the local market in Lovina where you can traverse through the hassle of various vendors and as you shop for your own ingredients.
This is perfect for those who seek to experience more about the Indonesian culture, taking you to the beginning stages of cooking – the shopping stage. Meet friendly vendors, haggle for prices, learn more about what to look for in terms of quality, and discover fruits and veggies you never knew existed.
