5.00Was great to make a meal that has strong cultural significance and also get this history and interesting information about it. Was nice and comfortable cooking in her home. My partner and I were alone for this cooking class so the private-ness really added to the experience.
Enjoyable cooking class

5.00An amazing experience! The market tour is truly fascinating, offering an authentic glimpse into local life. The cooking class is equally engaging, you will learn a lot about Indonesian cuisine and get to enjoy the delicious dishes you prepare. The highlight, however, is Desy. She's not only incredibly skilled in the kitchen but also a wonderful person, always ready to answer any questions and to make you feel comfortable. Highly recommended!

5.00Excellent master class in Javanese cooking. Ms Desy is an excellent cook and teacher. The best part was she took us to a traditional market where we selected and bought all of the ingredients, then we went to her house and cook there. We had a chance to shop, prepare and cook lunch in a real environment, not in a hotel and a class room. We also had the opportunity to meet her family. Great experience, and will definitely do it again.
