I took a private cooking class in Bali on my honeymoon in August, 2016. I learned how to make Genep - Balinese Curry Paste and recipes that use it. I learned so much from my teacher “I Dhono” (sounds like; I dunno, in English slang). He was so informative and we laughed and exchanged chef secrets. I taught him some things as well, believe it or not! The completed meal is in the photo - almost all of my Balinese recipes use this very useful curry paste.
