Mrs. Pupsa welcomed us into her home with a warm embrace, filled with vibrant energy and immense knowledge.
We left with satisfied appetites and a booklet of Traditional Balinese Cooking methods to try at home.
Every spice, herb, fruit, vegetable, and grain in Balinese cuisine explodes with flavor, awakening your senses with every bite.
The five essential spices—turmeric, ginger, galangal, coriander, and lemongrass—not only enhance flavor but also nourish the body. These ingredients harmonize with the body’s five vital organs, embodying the belief that food is medicine.
In Bali, terms like “organic,” “ethically sourced,” or “sustainable” aren’t needed. These practices are naturally woven into their way of life as the foundation for growing and preparing food.
Unlike modern Western cultures, which now use such labels, Balinese tradition has long embraced a holistic, natural approach to nourishment.
Their values and lifestyle reflect a deep, seamless connection to nature, needing no special distinction to highlight this bond.
