Nia Cooking School - Fantastic
Great food and a lot of fun.
I would highly recommend the Nia Cooking Class for everyone from beginners to food enthusiasts and experienced cooks.
If you don't get a chance to do the cooking class, definitely find time to go have a meal at Warung Nia.
We started at the local markets where our guide/chef explained local Indonesian ingredients and we tried some local fruits. Our guide/chef offered suggestions for alternatives if not available in our home country and some products OK to take back through immigration.
After the markets we had a refreshing lemon ice tea and sweet dumplings in a sweet caramel-like sauce with coconut cream for morning tea.
We then started out cooking class with the owner of cooking school. We each got a printed recipe book, so we could take notes on the pages.
The chef was knowledgeable, easy to understand, funny and made us all feel very relaxed. During the cooking class there were parts everyone participated in and parts only some people did the cooking and others watched. The chef made sure everyone got a few turns to cook. It worked well because it gave you some time to take notes, have a drink, take photos and sit down for a bit.
The chef asked if anyone had any special dietary requirements and was very careful to take these into consideration.
At the end we sat down to a feast of amazing foods, some we had cooked and some extras to try. There was much more than we could eat.
We were each given a certificate of participation.
At the end I forgot to take home my recipes so I emailed the cooking school and they very kindly sent me a copy by email.
