The best cooking experience ever

Erlinda and her lovely ladies run a very professional clocking school but at the same time you feel like you are learning to cook Balinese and Indonesian cuisine at home It is hands on at your own station with help from the lovely Erlinda and house ladies. Be ready for lots of cooking after you attended the local traditional produce markets to learn about some of the ingredients you will be using. Also you have your own recipe book of all the recipes and techniques also to make your own notes if wanted

5-Star Distinction Cooking School

Erlinda you are a chef and teacher of 5-star distinction!!! The day was spent learning not only about the Balinese culture and cuisine but also extend to preparing authentic dishes from other regional parts of Indonesia. Erlinda breaks down the seemingly complicated exotic tastes and mouthwatering flavors of Indonesian dishes into bite-size lessons that are immersive, dynamic, and fun—starting at the local traditional market, then moving on to her vegetable and herb garden, proceeding with prep work and cooking of multiple dishes, and lastly devouring what was just created. Ibu Astrid and Ibu Abi were most helpful. They assisted in the entire cooking experience helping to teach and demonstrate the technique of using the Ulekan (mortar and pestle) to the general cleaning that makes the entire experience seamless. Erlinda only uses help from the local unsung heroines “Ibu rumah tangga” (housewives) of the neighborhood. MEXX Cooking School will have you leaving the day equipped with new knowledge and skills you can immediately implement into your daily cooking routines. I learned a ton while having a blast. What a treat! I would highly recommend this school.

Brilliant!

I don’t cook, but Erlinda made me cook and yes I loved it! Traditional Bali and Indonesian favourites shown simply. Knowing how to cook Mer Goreng noodles and Nadi Goreng properly is great! It’s so simple and we learned the special tricks that make it so much more tastier! We will be back and bring our friends! And DON’T eat breakfast!!😂

Absolutely excellent in every way!

We really didn’t know what to expect. All the staff were beyond excellent, especially Asterid ( class leader , not sure of her name spelling) Bob and Abby. The lesson was outstanding and the materials to take home were super and appreciated. The quality and taste of the food was 5 star quality in food and service. Beyond that they accommodated a 5 month old baby while we were cooking. There driver met us after the class with an item we forgot in his car. This was one of the main reasons we came to Bali, all our dreams came true. Thank you so much.

Wonderful class

The class was fantastic. Erlinda and the other staff were so friendly and so welcoming. The class was very well organised. The pick up was on time, the tour to the traditional market was very interesting, and the cooking class was marvellous. We did the full-day class and made 19 dishes! The menu changes annually; we will be back for more classes in the future. I recommend this class to anyone visiting Bali.
