Description

The classes are focused on traditional Indonesian cuisine using fresh & seasonal local produce, ensuring all dishes are packed with flavor. During the class, you will learn traditional cooking techniques, and the staff will inform you what ingredients you can use as substitutes abroad, to ensure you can prepare the dishes authentically and innovatively back home. Cooking and food are at the heart of the classes, but you’ll leave with much more than a full stomach. During the class, you can ask our chefs anything you like. They love to share their knowledge of Indonesian culture and local life. The chefs are from either Lombok mainland or the Gili islands, and are well versed in the local Sasak culture; from marriage traditions and social norms to education and local lifestyles, you’ll get an intimate picture of what it is to be Indonesian.

Top cooking class to do in Gili!

I arrived in Gili with no plan as to what I’d want to do and came across the cooking class. Best decision ever - I only had 3 days here and this was one of my highlights. Ogik was amazing, great cook, teacher and hilarious too. I loved it and I loved the dishes. I had a great group too so as a solo traveller everyone was welcoming.

Fun and easy way to cook Indonesian dishes!

The Gili cooking class I signed up for yesterday was a really fun experience. I joined the 4 dish group and paid 500k by booking directly with them through WhatsApp, which was cheaper than I found on any other booking site. Our hosts were super friendly and informative. The recipes were easy to follow and they offered substitutes for ingredients when we go home. The dishes were incredibly tasty and there was too much food for me, but for a tiny fee they packaged it all up for me to take my leftovers home. I’d definitely recommend making time to enjoy this class!

I gave this as a gift...

I gave this experience to my boyfriend and it was fantastic. Cooking local dishes by the sea and tasting traditional flavors completely different from what we are used to is priceless! The place is really cute and clean, the guys are super organized and engaging, it was really a beautiful experience!
