On the menu ?
✔ First we visit the local market which is located around the corner. We walk around and will choose the best fresh ingredients for our meal. Learn where the most important ingredients come from. All the tastes, spices and herbs you will find processed in jars and cans in the food chain around the world you will find them fresh and straight from the farmer at our local market. Enjoy the organised chaos, friendly people and learn how to bargain with a smile.
✔ Together we will prepare a meal. Learn tricks and tips on how to prepare the best Indonesian meal. Because we use fresh ingredients which can differ throughout the year we do a lot of tasting during cooking to make sure the meal will taste the best. Can you recognise the different tastes of the ingredients? Learn how to blend them to the perfect meal. We love to cook with passion.
✔ Next to the meal, you can try snacks and drinks which are local favorites. Ask about all the inside information you like to know about Indonesia and Yogyakarta

The cooking class and the dinner was unforgettable
“We had three tour days starting from Airport pick-up in Yogyakarta. We had a lot of activities that we had agreed before booking and I really have to say thank you to Pardi because he was so patient with all my requests and he managed to fit all in the time we had. Other than the”must see” in the area, the cooking class and the dinner we had with his wife was unforgettable, as well as the batik course (we really made our batik from scratch experiencing different techniques).
He also organized the long transfer to Malang.
All went smoothly.”
