To understand Bali, taste it. The island's food carries its history and its philosophy — from communal royal feasts to the fragrant spice paste that begins nearly every dish.
A communal feast born in the courts of Karangasem, eaten cross-legged around a shared mound of rice.
Dozens of small dishes around a bed of rice — a grand tour of the archipelago in a single sitting.
The fragrant paste that is the culinary DNA of the island — what goes in, and why it matters.
