“Nia Cooking Class is a sensational way to productively kill 5 hrs in Bali! It is a cost effective way to gain knowledge, meet new people, learn new culinary skills and feast on top notch flavoursome local food. The class is highly organised and hands-on; everyone getting a starring role at the gas burner. I loved the way Chef Komang was able to wrangle 15 knife- wielding participants and a myriad of fresh ingredients with patience, humility and a wicked dry sense of humour. Highlights for me were: the huge lunch banquet with my table group; keepsake recipe book, and; opportunity to buy ingredients on the local market tour. Highly…”
