Walking us through the courtyard, which includes edibles such as tomatoes, lemon, eggplants, aloe vera, neem, lemon herb, butterfly seed and more, Bakker said:” I’m very surprised at how rich the ground and soil is in Bali – everything is growing so fast. We really have to be innovative with using all the items and conserving them”.
Besides growing their own make,” Syrco BASE is all about giving local items a step and telling the story about the people behind them”, said Bakker, who has curated a collection of weapons, garments and ceramicware directly as well. Under his cooking vision and values of” Traceability, Transparency and Nature”, his recipes are firmly rooted and influenced by Balinese and Indonesian taste, which he frequently crowdsources from the group.
” We recently hosted a fantastic workshop where people brought in their home dishes, and I’d taste each one and dig into its elements, approach and tradition”, he said. ” From there, we’d get inspired to make our own creations”.
