Cooking Class in Bali (by Jacob)

On our second to last day in Bali, my mom, Maggie, and I did a  Balinese cooking class. The food we made was ethnic balinese food. We made five recipes, they were called Gadu Gadu with peanut sauce, chicken with lemongrass, chicken curry, fish with tomato balinese sauce, and boiled vegetables in cocunut sause. As we were making them I learned that the recipes have a ton of spices and vegetables in them. Another thing I learned is that most of the recipes use a lot of the same vegetables and spices such as ginger, tomato, bean spourts, tumeric and lemongrass. My favorite dish was the fish with balinese sauce because I really enjoyed how spicy it was because with the fish it cools your mouth down. I really enjoyed the cooking class because I have always wanted to learn about how the food we been eating was made. Here is a picture of Maggie and me with all the food we made!
