You start the morning at the market, where Dek Leonk explains what you're looking at: kemiri nuts (candlenuts), turmeric, lemongrass, small shallots. Then you cook in the kitchen of a family he knows. You make basa genep, the spice paste behind almost every Balinese dish, and use it for a few dishes such as sate lilit and lawar. It ends at the table, with the family. Vegetarian, vegan or dairy-free is fine; just let us know in advance.
