Tetebatu: Authentic Cooking Class in the Village with family｜Indonesia

Begin your experience with a short visit to a nearby local garden where you can pick some vegetables from the community garden plantation. Discover the colorful variety of vegetables, spices, herbs, and tropical produce used in traditional Lombok cuisine while your guide explains their role in local cooking.

After the garden visit, arrive at the home of a local family in Tetebatu where the cooking experience takes place. Together with your hosts, prepare ingredients using traditional kitchen tools while learning about the spices and techniques used in Lombok dishes.

Make some of the most unique and tasty signature dishes, such as rendang, sate pusut, gado-gado, sweet tempe, and banana or jackfruit curry. Under the guidance of your host, take part in the cooking process itself, mixing spices, preparing sauces, and learning how traditional dishes are made step by step.

Once the dishes are ready, the final part of the experience is the most enjoyable: sitting together and sharing the meal you helped prepare. This moment reflects the warm hospitality of village life, where food is always best enjoyed together.
