I loved the Balinese cooking class. Pick-up was smooth and on time, followed by a visit to a local market, which was very informative. We were then taken to the cooking school, which is set against the backdrop of a picturesque rice field and surrounded by a lush garden, where you can explore locally grown vegetables and fruit. The cooking class itself was very well organised and the presentation was marvellous. We were really looked after exceptionally well with a welcome coffee and breakfast, lunch, some fruit to take home and water. I also really enjoyed the extras this tour came with, including making an authentic Hinduist flower offering and receiving an edited video of our experience at the end of the day. Finally, if I had to make a recommendation for improvement, I would suggest going completely plastic-free. As such, it would be best not to waste so many plastic gloves but reusable ones that get washed, and to give people cold water in glasses rather than bottled water. Indonesia is in an absolute crisis regarding plastic waste and I saw many public areas and beaches in Bali and Lombok, that were filled with rubbish and used as dumps. It is incredibly important that local businesses make a start to contribute to positive change and change their practices to become more sustainable, thereby setting an example for the rest of Bali/Indonesia. Local businesses and government agencies need to understand the impact that the amount of rubbish in Indonesia may have on tourism if it continues to go unchecked. Many thanks, Laura

This Balinese cooking class is an incredible experience! Putu and Wayan are amazing hosts 😊. The morning market visit is very insightful, and the class offers a lot of learning with delicious food at the end! Great class, highly recommended 👍

Really well organized, and everyone was so nice! I definitely recommend this cooking class if you’re in the Ubud area. The market visit was okay but if you prefer to attend the afternoon class, you won’t miss much - the highlights were all at the class itself!

Very well organized. We were picked up from the hotel and brought back again.
The cooking class was excellent, interesting information was given about the different types of rice and spices (some of which grow in the hotel's own garden).
With 10 visitors there was enough time to present the recipes and explain each step in peace.
The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, there was also a vegetarian dish.
Everyone was very nice, friendly and above all funny, which made cooking even more fun.
Thank you for the lovely hours and the recipes.
At the end we ate together and everyone received a video (very well done) and the recipes via WhatsApp.
....... Conclusion: I would do it again anytime..... Big thank you

Definitely a must do in Bali! Even after some misunderstanding at the start (which was totally my fault) they picked me up at time and we drove to the market, getting so much knowledge about the common local harvestings (fruits, vegetables, offering ingredients, ECT.) and they always asked us if we have more questions! The cooking class itself was premium, the people were so nice welcoming us very nicely with welcome drinks, asked if we want coffee/tea and offered snacks and free water! Showed us patiently how to make traditional offerings before we started learning about our meals and what we need for it! Then we started preparing and they showed us everything carefully and individually, since the group was perfectly small! The cooking was fun, also getting to know about the traditional way of cooking rice and preparing the food! After we finished, we were able to eat as much as we want and they always asked if we need anything else! Received a cook book and a little souvenir as well as a wonderful video with cut together snippets of the day! So friendly and so much knowledge, highly recommend!!!! :)

Great from pick to drop off! Wayan and her team were warm and friendly. We learnt lot about Balinese food and culture at the market visit and through the cooking class. The class was very hands on and the food we made was delicious, some of the best food we have eaten while in Bali

Fabulous cooking class with a small group. Superbly run and the right amount of being taught and DIY across a number of Balinese dishes. Well organised, I’d definitely recommend for those seeking an authentic and fun class!

I had the best time on my cooking class experience! Everyone at the school was incredible! A real genuine passion for Balinese food and culture! The tour around the food market was amazing and I loved being able to try all the fruits! My driver there and back was also brilliant picked me up on time and was full of facts on the drive and suggestions about other places to visit on my trip!
