What a wonderful day we've just had at the Lobong cooking experience.
We were picked up from our hotel at 8am and taken to join our classmates at the local markets. All the time while driving then guiding us through the markets, Made shared life in Bali. Happy to answer all our questions we learnt so much!
After the market trip, we arrived at his family compound.
Beautifully landscaped gardens show the pride they have in their home and it was a pleasure to share it with them for the morning.
The cooking was taught in a similar manner - with generosity and kindness.
Our group had a wide range of ages and all felt included.
Made was supported by his family who were also attentive and kind.
The menu was delicious with far more food than we could eat. The group voted the chicken curry the winner.
Our drive back to Ubud was full of more background and information. A truly valuable experience and great way to learn more about this island
