Balinese Cooking: Offerings and Spice

Balinese cooking — the cooking of the Hindu-majority island within the predominantly Muslim Indonesian archipelago — is the most internationally celebrated of Indonesia's regional traditions and the most directly connected to ritual. Balinese cooking has a religious dimension that permeates its daily practice: food offerings are prepared daily for the Balinese Hindu gods, and many preparations exist in both a ceremonial form (for offerings and festivals) and an everyday form.
