More Than Just Recipes—It’s a Story on a Plate.
Step into a welcoming local Javanese home and discover the heart of Indonesian culture through its flavors. This Private Cooking Class is an intimate, hands-on experience where you don't just watch—you create.
From handpicking fresh ingredients in the garden to grinding the "bumbu" (spice paste) with a traditional stone mortar, you will learn the secrets passed down for generations. Whether you are a foodie or a beginner, our host will guide you to cook (and eat!) the most iconic dishes of Java.

"The cooking class with Oki and his family was amazing. They were all so friendly and welcoming and it was great to experience cooking an Indonesian meal with them. Most of all we enjoyed just chatting with them and exchanging stories. A beautiful family and definitely a highlight of our time in Indonesia already."
