Title: Balinese cooking
Post by: Halex on June 22, 2011, 12:01:53 am
I am off to Bali at the of the month. I will be doing cooking course at Bambu Bali. It is an authentic balineese restaurant with a cooking school. We have eaten there many times. The restaurant is In Nusa dua. Anyone else been.

I am happy to post some recipes if anyone is able to covert them for the TM. They use a lot of spices so the TM will make the recipes much easier.

Hally I am also going to bali in July and doing a cooking class. It is different to yours this one is done in someones home. The TM is oficially being launched in Bali on 1st August. A bit dearer than here though around USD $2250. I was emailing them to ask how much a replacement bowl was. They are getting back to me.

The course looks really good and you can Internet the money into a ANZ account here. The owner Heinz is German
But has  lived in Bali many years, I think he was the head  chef of a 5* hotel before he started the restaurant and school. We have eaten at  the restaurant many times.
It gets booked quickly

Ohhh! Sounds absolutely wonderful! It's so cheap to go to Bali from here, but I've already been three times and really not interested in going again. You'll have a ball!

My dream trip is a culinary tour of France......

Thanks Judy,

I am actually getting much better and faster at the typing whilst on the Freddie. Of course this morning DH was showing off and running ar 12kph while I was walking, I occasionally run but I am not very good at it, I am not a runner. I made hi.

The course was fun, interesting and we did some hands on, plus we got to eat the food for lunch. Very very delicious, will be posting some recipes later in the month.

Well worth doing if your visiting Bali.

I met the executive chef who is in charge at our hotel and of St.. Regis, he has won many pastry awards and now coaches the chefs here for the Asian pacific competitions, he is a brilliant chef. I am hoping to get some recipes from him too.

Hi everyone.  I was in Bali recently and attended a cooking class in Ubud, which was only 350,000 IR, including pickup/dropoff.
Here it is:  http://www.paon-bali.com .

I also bought a recipe book from the Rotary Club of Bali Ubud Sunset and thought some of you might like to get hold of a copy of that.  It is called CULINARY CROSSROADS - Food from the Heart of Bali and was published in 2011 by http://www.rotarybaliubudsunset.org .

There are too many recipes in the 80 pages for me to list all individually, but the contents include APPETISERS AND BEVERAGES, SOUPS AND SALADS, VEGETABLES AND SIDE DISHES, MAIN DISHES, DESSERTS and THIS AND THAT.

It costs only 100, 000 IR plus whatever postage would be.

Thanks, Cecilia - have emailed my order form  :D

You're very welcome, goldfish.  I forgot to mention how they are using the funds raised from the cookbooks, but no doubt the website would give all that background. 

Quote from: Why We Created This Cookbook

Bali seems prosperous to the casual visitor.  But once away from the tourist centers, the story is very different.  Yes, there s poverty here.  Many children do't go to school.  Schools lack books and functionig toilets.  Commuities lack clean water.  Villagers lack adequate housig.  Jobs are scarce.  The projects of Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset address these issues. .....

All this Baliese talk has made me get my 2 cookbooks out & tomorrow or when I have time I will search for my cookingclass  notes, plus the recipes the executive chef of the sheraton in nusa dua gave me.

Its all coming back, a lot of the recipes you need to make the spice base first :)

Once my cousins have left, I think another morning f making all the spice bases s a good start. :)
