Join Janet De Neefe, author of the best-selling memoir, Fragrant Rice, and her cooking team, as they take you on a Balinese culinary-cultural adventure.
Listed as ‘amongst the world’s best cooking schools’ in The Australian newspaper, Janet has been teaching Balinese cooking since 1987.
The Casa Luna Cooking School classes provide a fascinating insight into Balinese life, beliefs and culture through learning about its food, cooking and culinary myths.
Class discussions are relaxed and friendly and are held in the elegant grounds of the Second Honeymoon Guesthouse. They include specific references to the role of food in Balinese society, its ceremonial use and religious importance.
Participants learn about the exotic herbs and spices used in ceremonial and everyday Balinese dishes and are encouraged to actively help prepare the lavish Balinese feast that will then be enjoyed with a glass or two of the local rice wine or homemade hibiscus tea.
Complete class notes are provided. Guests of the Honeymoon Guesthouses receive a 10% discount on all cooking classes.
