Authentischer balinesischer Kochkurs mit Wanderung durch Balis Reisterassen

Loved every part of the trip. From the hotel pick up, to the driver meticulously driving through the chaotic traffic, the jaw dropping views of the Jatiluwih rice terraces and our own private lookout of the fields at the cooking point. Made was so incredibly kind, welcoming and thorough with the cooking class :) would highly recommend!

Definitely one of our favorite activities in Bali! Made and his family/crew taught us how to cook a Balinese menu. The day included not only delicious food and fun cooking, but also picking vegetables in their garden and a nice tour through the rice fields. We stayed in Ubud and weren't sure if it was worth going all the way up north for a cooking class, but it was totally worth it :) We highly recommend booking this class and getting to know some great recipes and Made and his beautiful team :) Thank you some much for this beautiful experience!

We had such a fantastic fun day yesterday at the Jatiluwi cooking class. The family is so welcoming, telling you the history about the traditional Balinese food. Picking your own vegetables and spices from the garden, while looking out over the rice fields. Highly recommend this day. We will attend again.

An authentic must do experience. The food we learnt to make was fresh and delicious, by far the yummiest cooking class I've done to date! Fun for all ages the kids loved it! Thank you Made and family

Made (Happy) has great English and is very friendly and informative. The scenery is stunning and picking the vegetables from his garden to cook with was awesome. I loved the car ride to his location as we chatted the whole time there and back and I learnt a lot about their culture and way of life plus saw the beautiful scenery /rice fields along the way. If you want to do a cooking class I would HIGHLY recommend this one and it was the highlight of our trip! Have purchased ingredients back in Aus to re cook. Thankyou to Made and his family for having our large group of 8!

It was the best experience in Bali without a doubt! First, a super pleasant walk through the Jatiluwih rice fields early in the morning, without heat and without people, in which Made told us interesting facts about the environment and rice cultivation. Then we arrived at Kubu Terrace to start the cooking class in which we ourselves harvested some of the ingredients that we were going to use in the menu. The kitchen area has incredible views of Made and his family's rice fields. The food is delicious and of exceptional quality, much better than what you can try out there. Also, since you cook yourself, you can moderate the spiciness. During the day they explain all kinds of things related to cooking, the environment and their own life and it is very enjoyable and interesting. I think it is an essential and super authentic experience, far from the typical tourist tours.

We had an excellent and delicious time with our Kubu Terrace Cooking Class. We also liked the fact that the activity was a complete package, with pick-up and return service. The class is beautifully located in the Jatiluwith region and reached after a hike through the delightful sawahs. The Cooking Class is small scale and run by Made Happy with family & friends. Plenty of personal attention. We started with picking/cutting most of the ingredients for a solid “bumbu Bali” from the - organically grown - garden. This gave us a good vibe and understanding of the richness and diversity of Balinese vegetables. After the three course meal, we ended with a tasteful homegrown Bali coffee. We are definitely going to prepare the learned dishes at home (Netherlands) for our friends.

We were absolutely mind blown by the day which started with early pickup. Karma answered all our “tourist” questions whilst expertly driving 1.5 hours to the destination. The scenery was stunning and we trekked to our destination through beautiful UNESCO heritage rice field terraces. The family run business felt personalised and totally genuine. We picked fresh produce from the garden before being delighted in the instruction of how to prepare Bumbu Bali recipe base. Each stage of the meal was supervised and we were able to learn from our lovely host Debi - we thank her and her family very much for welcoming us and sharing their home and stories. Highly recommend!

The walk to the location of the cooking class is breathtaking. Beautiful scenery of ricefield terraces. The picking of ingredients for the cooking class was interesting and fun. The cooking class itself was really terrific! Everybody joins the cutting of vegetables and cooking. The result was a great very tastefull meal. We recommend this cooking experience to everyone!

We really enjoyed this cooking class. It was located at a stunning setting in the rice terraces. Everyone was very welcoming and we were able to learn step by step the process of cooking Balinese food from the garden to the plate. The food was delicious and we made multiple dishes, we left feeling very full and happy.

A great experience, highlights of an easy walk through the stunning rice terraces and located in a real farm within the rice terrace area itself. Immersed in a 3 generation family, farm life and culture were shared by our hosts with husband and wife tutor team with parents in supporting roles. We were able to hand pick some key ingredients from the small farm with a good explanation on these and the farm life itself. Good English, easy to follow, very enjoyable day. A 1+ hour from our hotel in Denpasar, we meandered through small villages and rural landscapes that added to the experience. Would highly recommend.

Loved the mixture of the tour through the rice paddys, picking veg from the garden and the cooking instruction. Everyone on the team were so helpful and welcoming, we had a great experience.

Amazing and inspiring location. Kind and enthusiastic teachers. We learnt a lot and were in awe of the scenery, smells and tasty food. It’s been our best day in Bali so far and we cannot recommend enough!

This was much more than a cooking class - it included some history, a walk through the rice terraces, and time in Happy’s estate picking the ingredients for the meals we made (and getting to try them all in their freshest form - turmeric, ginger, and the Balinese root veggies and leaves that make up Bumbu and other Balinese dishes) Karma and Happy we’re very warm, informative. The food was extremely delicious. They also provide hotel pickup and drop off for a very wide geographic range. It was great for my vegetarian partner to finally try a vegetarian satay skewer. Delicious! Thanks!

Cooking and eating authentic Balinese food overlooking an exotic, organic garden set on a backdrop of paddy fields and jungle. What's not to love?! ❤️

From pickup to drop off, nothing was a problem. The pickup was on time, and the driver was comfortable with our driver 'Karma', more than happy to point out some sights and answer questions. On arrival, we were made to feel very welcome, and immediately we started on the walking tour through the rice terraces with plenty of information being provided on the way. Our cooking experience was equally entertaining and from picking the herbs and vegetables, through to the preparation and cooking, every step was explained and assistance given. It was lovely to see the family getting involved also. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and we thank Happy, Dewi, Karma, and family for giving us a glimpse into some more traditional processes.

Great host, delicious food, beautiful environment. Really special experience.

We had an incredible cooking class experience in Bali after a scenic walk through the rice fields. The class was absolutely delightful! We got to make eleven different dishes, and the hands-on approach allowed us to be fully involved in every step. The staff was exemplary, ensuring that we were picked up on time from our hostel in Canggu and safely dropped back. Everything was seamless and top-notch. Highly recommend!

We had the privilege of partaking in this wonderful Balinese cooking class combined with a captivating tour of Bali's rice terraces Jatiluwih. The course was exceptionally well-structured, and the team displayed immense kindness and hospitality throughout. Cooking proved to be an absolute delight, offering plenty of enjoyment. At the conclusion, we were treated to a sumptuous and delectable feast. An all-around remarkable experience! Our heartfelt thanks to the Kubu Terrace Cooking Class team! ❤

We absolutely loved our time at the cooking class, right from the drive to the countryside, walking through the UNESCO rice fields, picking the produce, cooking, and eating the food. It was so serene and peaceful, and every detail was very well thought out. We particularly liked how the cooking aspect was very hands-on, and cooking non-typical Balinese foods. None of it was too complex, but the flavors were amazing!

This cooking class has been the highlight of our trip to Bali. Karma picked us up from our accommodation and drove us to the rice terraces while sharing his knowledge about the Balinese culture. The walk through the rice terraces was just beautiful followed by picking our own veggies at the organic farm. We had so much fun cooking the delicious dishes and left with a warm heart & full tummy. I loved that it was possible to cook vegetarian dishes and that the family made sure I was comfortable because of my pregnancy. Can highly recommend booking this cooking class!

An adventure that gave you the true organic Bali experience that was warm, inviting and inclusive. This is the second time we have done this class, and wanted a friend who was travelling with us to experience the fun that we had previously. Would recommend to anyone

Such nice people from the start till the end. We had an amazing walk to the farm. The guide knows a lot. We harvest different kind of vegetalbles in the garden, So good! They make pictures, So you can do your job 😄. During cookingclass they explain everything and give help, only if you need. What a wonderful day with an amazing (Unesco) view. O, by the way, my husband got sick and was able to sleep in their house. The family is very hospitable. The day after they sent us the foto’s and asked again if my husband is feeling better. Please, visit them and enjoy a delicious meal, made by yourself.

We had the best day with Madè and his family. They were incredibly hospitable, knowledgeable, and the food we prepared was nothing short of delicious! Our trip down the mountain through the rice paddies was stunning. Madè shared many stories about the land and his family, which made the experience even more authentic. We explored the organic garden and collected all of our herbs, spices and vegetables. Madè and his wife taught us how to cook a large selection of traditional Balinese dishes and desserts. The outdoor kitchen was beautiful and we enjoyed cooking and eating our meal in a stunningly intimate setting overlooking the rice fields and mountains. We highly recommend this cooking class and it was a highlight of our time in Bali.

What a splendid day we had! This was certainly the highlight of our Bali trip. We’ve been to many cooking classes, but this was definitely the best planned and thought through. If you’re looking for a holistic experience of hiking through a UNESCO rice terrace, and farm-to-table Balinese cooking experience (and eating it), this is it. And we guarantee you won’t ever forget Bumbu Bali! Thanks Made, Dewi, and Karma for the wonderful day out!

This was the best cooking class that my fiancé and me have ever done, but it’s much more than just a cooking class really. Made, Karma, Made’s wife and mother-in-law made this a truly unforgettable experience and the highlight of our holiday in Bali. We were picked up at 07:30 by Karma from Seminyak and made the 1.5 hour drive to Jatiluwih. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and takes your breath away. We then began a short 2km wander through the rice terraces to meet Made and had lots of photos taken along the way. We went to Made’s home and the base for the cooking class, which takes place in a covered space with unbelievable views over Made’s property. We really can’t emphasise how beautiful the view is whilst you’re cooking and eating! Photos were also taken by Made and Karma throughout. We were given welcome drinks and then started picking vegetables and herbs from Made’s organic garden. We saw vanilla plants, a beehive and amazing chillies, amongst other things. We then started to cook. Over the course of the day, we made Bumbu Bali, which acted as the base for subsequent dishes, Moringa Soup and Sayar Urap. We enjoyed these as a starter. We went on to make Balinese chicken curry, two types of Satay with accompanying sauces, chicken dumplings and rice. The food was plentiful and delicious! Throughout the cooking, it was a very hands on experience, as we went through the recipe booklet and were able to prepare the food and cook it with Made. The kitchen was spotless the whole way through and there was clearly a lot of effort made to ensure that chopping boards, pans, plates and utensils remained clean. There was also a nearby sink and Made provided gloves to handle chicken, if we’d wanted them. We felt like we truly learnt how to make these dishes and also understood the ingredients going into each of them. The recipe book was given to us to take home as a souvenir. We finished by making friend bananas and enjoyed these with freshly made Balinese coffee, which is roasted on site. We were then driven home by Karma. The whole way through the day, we learnt about the history of the rice terraces and how Made’s property is his inheritance. Made explained what the property, and the cooking classes, means to the community there and we saw how much this means to them. We feel really privileged to have been able to attend this class and learnt a huge amount. Thank you so much to you all for this special day! It truly was the highlight of our time in Bali.

What an amazing day! My boyfriend and i ended our wonderful vacation with this amazing cooking class. :D We got a pick up at our hotel, our driver was very friendly. After we arrived in a beautiful town, we met Mate. A Wonderful guy, Who could tell us all about the area and the rice fields. We went on a 30 min hike to the location of the class. The view was unreal! The class itself was amazing as well. Authentic Balinese recipes, wich where simple to make but so delicious. We picked our own vegetables out of Mate's garden, wich was a very nice touch! All and all one of the highlights of our vacation. We did save the best for last! :)

All I can say is wow. You will not find a more authentic cooking class, starting with a short trek through the rice fields to the lovely Kubu Terrace! The family cannot be more welcoming, we used all the fresh ingredients grown right on sight! We absolutely loved it, do not book onto a commercial hotel cooking class, book here you honestly will not regret it. You even get your own cook book to take home so you can cook for the family. Thank you so much ♥️

This was an amazing experience. If you get the chance you won't be sorry.

We went to Made’s house after a short trek through the rice fields. Made and his family made us feel so welcomed. For a city dweller being able to pick our veges off his field and cooking with them is really interesting. And the food wow! Soo soo good. To think we cooked it. Haha Oh and they have a friendly dog miko.

Amazing experience, lovely hosts, beautiful view in an organic hands on cooking class. With lots of information about their culture too.

The whole experience was truly amazing! From getting picked up from your hotel by Kutut who was a lovely driver to being able to pick all of your own veggies that you are gonna pick on the farm. It’s a truly authentic experience and the view was amazing, not to mention the food!! 100% recommend

I had no regrets joining the cookly class in Kubu Terrace. It provided free transport, which could be costly if I were to engage my own driver into the UNESCO heritage site deep in the mountains of Bali. After landing at the drop-off point, there was a breezy trek and it seemed short because I was enjoying the greenery along the path. Upon arrival, I was welcomed by our teacher Mr Seneng (which means "Happy" in English). He was friendly and cheerful and that made the class enjoyable. He gave clear instructions, making the dishes easy to learn, even for a cooking novice like me. I went around his farm to pick my own cooking ingredients, had a lot of hands-on in preparing my own dishes, took a lot of photos and had a lot of laughter for the afternoon. I ate all the dishes I prepared and it was a sumptuous meal. Mr Seneng also prepared some spice packs for me to bring back to practise my cooking!

The staff was so friendly. The cooking class was in the most beautiful environment. I loved it.

Such an amazing day! This is a small, family run cooking school based at their farm in the rice terraces. The owner and his wife picked us up from Seminyak and drove us all the way to Jatiluwih. It was a long drive (2 hours) but beautiful scenery and worth it for the view and short walk through the rice terraces to their farm. (The walk is easy - down hill and partly shaded). The owner showed his his small organic veggie garden and we picked a few things to use in our cooking. We could watch the men and buffalo working below in the rice terraces. The wife took us for the cooking class and was so friendly and easy-going. The food was amazing and we were given a recipe book so we can try the recipes at home :) Highly recommend.

The cooking class was amazing! So nice and friendly people. Picked our own vegetables and cooked a lot of different Balinese food. It was really nice and we enjoyed it very much. We definitely would recommend it to everyone.

Nice walk, nice harvesting of vegetables, good fun cooking, excellent food and great hosts WHO made us feel very welcome. Can only recommend this cooking class!

Highly recommend this. Our guide and his wife picked us up from the hotel and took us on an amazing cooking adventure. The trek was easy and a lovely walk and the cooking was using fresh organic ingredients. It was all at a great pace with a fantastic local. Thanks.

The whole experience was incredible! We began by trecking along the best rice terraces in Bali and then started the cooking class. All the ingredientes are top quality and you pick them up yourself from the private garden. The views are great and the food is amazing, and so is the cook and her family! Would really recommend this course to anyone looking to live a memborable and different experience in Bali.

We get a pick- up from seminyak with a very nice driver with excellent driving skills (the nephew of the owner). Because it was low season we had a private cooking class. It was really wonderfull! With a great start in the rice fields. The cooking class was great. Made and his wife are excellent chefs and there English is very good! The tell us everyting about the organic products, authentic cooking and recipees. The view and the garden full with vegetables is an extra bonus. We really recommand this class!

Sehr nette balinesische Kochklasse. Direkt in den Reisterrassen. Man macht einen Spaziergang (45 bis 60min) durch die Reisterrassen und dann gibt es ein Welcome-Drink. Im eigenen Garten werden die Zutaten für die Gerichte gesammelt. Die Zeit verfliegt und es ist immer etwas zu tun. Man sollte einen ganzen Tag (inkl. An- und Abreise) einplanen.

This was definately the best day of our holiday!! We were picked up just in time at our hotel, had a comfortable drive to absolutely beautiful ricefields without any other tourists. We walked about 45 minutes through the ricefields and than arrived at the house of our host. There the cooking class started. First we collected all the vegetables fresh from the garden. The teacher speaks very good English and we were lucky we were the only 2 in class. The cooking was fantastic and the taste of the dishes was excellent! You can take all recipies home and in the afternoon we had our drive back to Seminyak. What a great day with so lovely people, definately recommended!

We had a very comfortable drive and wonderful scenic walk. The teacher and his wife was lovely and showed us to cook traditional Balinese food. It was amazing. The location and atmosphere was perfect!

Really tasty and unique Bali dishes all cooked amidst a fun family atmosphere on one of the most beautiful spots in Bali.

Great day trip to Made and his family’s cooking school. Door to door service from our villa. We got to enjoy a scenic drive to the rice terraces and then an easy walk through the rice terraces to the cooking school. The recipes were traditional Balinese and delicious!! The hosts were amazing and their set up is very authentic and the onsite facilities were clean. This trip is great for all ages. Good value for money and was a highlight of our trip to Bali for both myself (who loves to cook) and my husband (who rarely cooks)!

Wonderful experience.

The whole cooking class was well taken care of and the food was absolutely wonderful. Would recommend this cooking class to everyone!!

Made and his family have a very professional setup for cooking. It was so tranquil amongst the rice terraces. We selected and picked from his garden, prepared amazing food and finished with banana fritters and coffee ( he grows and grinds from home) A truly wonderful experience with amazing authentic food, I highly recommend this cooking class, outstanding!!

So so glad we did this! Made picked us up promptly at our hotel in Ubud and drove us to the rice terraces where we walked for ~30 minutes to the site of the cooking class. He let us pick vegetables that we would use in the class from his organic garden and then walked us through each recipe step by step. Together we cooked up an absolutely delicious meal and he even provided us with a recipe book and some spices so that we can try the recipes at home. Made and his family were amazing hosts and we really enjoyed learning about the area from him! The entire class was extremely well organized and everything ran very smoothly from start to finish. We would 100% recommend this experience to anyone looking for a special and unique cooking class in the heart of the Jatiluwih terraces!

My partner and I absolutely loved the experience of driving through the more remote areas of Bali to get to our cooking class in Jutilwih. It was amazing to see the traditional homes and architecture, as well as the lush, abundant forests. We had the pleasure of walking through the rice fields for around 30 minutes, which brought with it picturesque scenery! Following this our instructor Made showed us around the homestead including his ingenious beehive, fruit trees and vegetable beds. We went through and harvested the fresh produce we went on to use during our class. We cooked a variety of traditional meals including a delicious dessert. Would absolutely recommend this experience for anybody looking for an authentic, traditional experience!
