Delving Into Indonesian Cooking in Ubud, Bali

Standing in an open-air bale surrounded by lush tropical greenery, Casa Luna's class of 18 eager participants take turns in sniffing the unfamiliar spices and herbs.

Some take turns crushing the spices in a huge stone mortar and pestle while others watch. It culminates in about ten delicious dishes enjoyed for lunch with some new friends.
