Join Ina for a flavorful journey that brings the warmth and richness of Southeast, South Asian, and Dutch brunch traditions right to your table.
In this immersive culinary class, you’ll learn to prepare Bubur Ayam, a beloved Indonesian chicken congee that’s as comforting as it is delicious, perfect for cozy mornings. You’ll also explore the art of brewing traditional wellness teas, including Jamu, a revitalizing herbal tonic from Java Island, and Indian Chai, rich with spice and aroma.
To round out your brunch, you’ll create a selection of irresistible snacks: Risoles (pronounced ree-so-les), a crisp, golden Indonesian pastry with Dutch roots, and Pisang Goreng, sweet and caramelized fried bananas that melt in your mouth.
Come hungry and curious! This class is a celebration of culture, comfort, and connection through food.
NOTE: This class is a high-demand class. If spaces are full, remember to add yourself to the waitlist. If there is enough interest, a second class will be opened up.
About our Instructor:
Rina Saptaria, also known as “Ina” to her friends and family, was born and raised in Indonesia, a beautiful country in Southeast Asia with towering mountains, vast lakes, and extensive river systems. It was there that Ina first discovered her love of cooking and especially preparing the cuisine native to her country. After moving to the U.S. and starting her family, Ina spent time honing her craft teaching at several community education programs in the area. When her children began school, she created “Cooking Around the Globe”, an after-school program for the Andover Public Schools designed to teach children about and to prepare cuisine from other countries. It is her passion to share recipes from the East and show the community that you can make these elaborate dishes simply with ingredients sourced from your own local grocery store.
