"One of the best cooking classes we've taken!"
We've taken quite a few in our travels. The full-day cooking class was awesome. Erlinda and her crew were so fun and engaging. And they were such a well-oiled machine. There were times when they would switch out for one another and you barely even noticed. There were only the two of us on our day but I can imagine it gets crazy with a lot more people.
The food was incredible and we're already talking about which recipes we're going to make again at home. Unfortunately, there was way too much food for us to complete. But every but was delicious.
I would 100% recommend Erlinda and her crew.

"The best cooking experience ever"
Erlinda and her lovely ladies run a very professional clocking school but at the same time you feel like you are learning to cook Balinese and Indonesian cuisine at home
It is hands on at your own station with help from the lovely Erlinda and house ladies. Be ready for lots of cooking after you attended the local traditional produce markets to learn about some of the ingredients you will be using.
Also you have your own recipe book of all the recipes and techniques also to make your own notes if wanted

"5-Star Distinction Cooking School"
Erlinda you are a chef and teacher of 5-star distinction!!! The day was spent learning not only about the Balinese culture and cuisine but also extend to preparing authentic dishes from other regional parts of Indonesia.
Erlinda breaks down the seemingly complicated exotic tastes and mouthwatering flavors of Indonesian dishes into bite-size lessons that are immersive, dynamic, and fun—starting at the local traditional market, then moving on to her vegetable and herb garden, proceeding with prep work and cooking of multiple dishes, and lastly devouring what was just created.
Ibu Astrid and Ibu Abi were most helpful. They assisted in the entire cooking experience helping to teach and demonstrate the technique of using the Ulekan (mortar and pestle) to the general cleaning that makes the entire experience seamless. Erlinda only uses help from the local unsung heroines “Ibu rumah tangga” (housewives) of the neighborhood.
MEXX Cooking School will have you leaving the day equipped with new knowledge and skills you can immediately implement into your daily cooking routines. I learned a ton while having a blast. What a treat! I would highly recommend this school.

"Brilliant!"
I don’t cook, but Erlinda made me cook and yes I loved it! Traditional Bali and Indonesian favourites shown simply. Knowing how to cook Mer Goreng noodles and Nadi Goreng properly is great! It’s so simple and we learned the special tricks that make it so much more tastier! We will be back and bring our friends!
And DON’T eat breakfast!!😂

"Absolutely excellent in every way!"
We really didn’t know what to expect. All the staff were beyond excellent, especially Asterid ( class leader , not sure of her name spelling) Bob and Abby. The lesson was outstanding and the materials to take home were super and appreciated. The quality and taste of the food was 5 star quality in food and service.
Beyond that they accommodated a 5 month old baby while we were cooking. There driver met us after the class with an item we forgot in his car. This was one of the main reasons we came to Bali, all our dreams came true. Thank you so much.

"Wonderful class"
The class was fantastic. Erlinda and the other staff were so friendly and so welcoming. The class was very well organised. The pick up was on time, the tour to the traditional market was very interesting, and the cooking class was marvellous. We did the full-day class and made 19 dishes! The menu changes annually; we will be back for more classes in the future. I recommend this class to anyone visiting Bali.

"Absolutely awesome"
Erlinda was fantastic, the way she explained the fruits and veg at the market and tasting of some was awesome. Their preparation was great and selection of meals were so tasty. The garden tour with explanation was very informative and gives an incite to the way the balinese live. Their staff were the most polite people you would come across. Would do this again and happliy pay more. We had an awesome day.
Thanks Erlinda and team.

"Een aanrader!"
Onwijs vriendelijke mensen die graag vertellen over Bali, de specerijen, groenten en andere dingen die je tijdens de workshop tegenkomt. Wij hebben de full day workshop gedaan, met een bezoek aan een traditionele markt, een ontbijt, een lunch, een les over de kruiden, een proeferij van lokaal tropisch fruit, een diner en het maken van een eigen offermandje. En dat alles op een mooie locatie!

"Authentic Balinese experience"
My Mum and I chose this cooking School because they have a full day program with a tour of the markets. We were not disappointed. I have been to cooking schools in Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia and this was by far the best one.
The day consisted of being driven from our hotel, market tour with explanations, traditional breakfast, herb explanations, tour of their own home garden, cooking entree's and then eating them on the balcony overlooking a divine view. For the rest of the day we cooked main courses and desert and then ate even more. Not just three dishes either....we cooked 17 dishes!!
Erlinda, Abbi and Mega were just delightful with traditional stories of Balinese culture, interesting Hindu facts and a lot of fun and laughs.
Interestingly Marcus (Erlinda's husband) is starting another business which just looks amazing - called the Bali Fat Bike Cycling. This is a fat tyre electric bike tour along the rice terraces and the beach with breakfast and lunch cooked by Marcus who was a chef on a large cruise liner. Afterwards they even have a beautiful pool on their property you can swim in. The new business starts on Monday 21 May 2018. If we were staying longer I would definitely have done that to experience more of this families charming hospitality.
5 stars from me. A must do in Bali. :)

"Wonderful experience"
Booked the full day Cooking Class and had the most fantastic day! Erlinda and her team took great care of me and I learned a lot. Not only about cooking Balinese & Indonesian food from scratch, but also about herbs & spices used in the kitchen and exotic fruits most of them grown in their own garden. We started off with a traditional market tour and afterwards had yummy Balinese breakfast on their spacious terrace overlooking the beautiful rice fields. All of the dishes cooked were delicious, but my favorites the Balinese Spicy Green Papaya Soup & the Beef Rendang. Thank you so much again for an unforgettable day! I can highly recommend this cooking class to everyone!
