Bali Cooking Class Part 1

Bali Cooking Class by Chef Dean Fisher - Part 1

Chef Dean Fisher was born in South London and finished his culinary school In UK. Cooking has taken him all over the world, from Cornwall to Perth to Singapore, but Bali is where he's made his home. Chef said once you come to live in Bali, it's difficult to go back.

We had total 10 students today. I am the only Asian. The others are from Melbourne, Perth Australia, Wellington New Zealand and Wales.

The first part is to visit their biggest traditional market in Bali. Open 24/7. The busiest hours is 4:30-6:00am. Women shop early morning everyday and head back home to cook family breakfast.

Balinese eat everything with crackers. At the market you can buy uncooked rice crackers and fry them at home.

參觀過程，有看到鹹蛋皮蛋，學員有發問，帶領的領隊和大廚都並不熟悉，我呢就跳出來說了一下... 還有誰比我清楚呢，畢竟小時在鹿港時家裡就是製造鹹鴨蛋皮蛋的。

然後學員又不認識柿子和炸豆腐等等，我又幫忙解說了一下。他們說 You know everything! 不用來上課了。我回說，我真的不是來上課的，我其實是來吃的！Read more
