Explore Balinese Food Traditions Through Chef Heinz von Holzen's New Book

Founder of Bumbu Bali Restaurant and Art Café Bumbu Bali, Chef Heinz von Holzen, has published his latest culinary masterpiece, Megibung: A Culinary Journey Through Balinese Families & Ceremonies. This book, a result of over three decades of living and learning in Ubud, is an exploration of Balinese food traditions and cultural practices.

The word 'megibung' holds deep significance in Balinese culture, symbolizing unity, harmony, and togetherness through shared meals.

This book is not just a collection of recipes but a celebration of the people, traditions, and ceremonies that shape Bali's rich culinary heritage.

With 110 authentic Balinese recipes, more than 250 stunning photographs, and countless stories, Megibung offers a unique insight into the island's food culture. You can purchase this beautifully crafted volume in good Indonesian bookstores, online, or directly at the Bumbu Bali Restaurants.
