" An easy breezy cooking class for those who are more interested in a fun basic cooking class. "

What I liked: It was a very organized class and the food was delicious.

What to know: You cook as a group and combine everything in the same pan at the end. It is then taken to the kitchen to fine-tune and serve as a buffet for the whole group for lunch.

Good for: People looking to meet like-minded traveling foodies.

"Afternoon cookery class"

We attended the cookery school- they have several work stations, all the raw ingredients were ready to be prepared. Everything was explained as to what we would be cooking ( tofu dish, chicken satay, yellow sauce with vegetables, gado gado, stewed banal with palm sugar and coconut)and how we would make it. Maddy was the main chef and had good English, she was also funny.🤣. We were made to feel so welcome. It culminated in us eating our food we had cooked and then the driver dropped us back at the hotel. Good value, but the staff made it special.

"Good range of dishes cooked."

The class was a bit late starting but there was a good range of recipes on offer. We felt a bit rushed but the end results were good and helpful tips given on what we could use in our own country.

"Excellent!!"

The class was one of my favourite experiences in Bali! It was fun, informative and delicious!! I can hardly wait to try the recipes provided when I return home to Canada. The BEST!!

"Amazing!"

Mrs. Pupsa welcomed us into her home with a warm embrace, filled with vibrant energy and immense knowledge. We left with satisfied appetites and a booklet of Traditional Balinese Cooking methods to try at home. Every spice, herb, fruit, vegetable, and grain in Balinese cuisine explodes with flavor, awakening your senses with every bite. The five essential spices—turmeric, ginger, galangal, coriander, and lemongrass—not only enhance flavor but also nourish the body. These ingredients harmonize with the body’s five vital organs, embodying the belief that food is medicine. In Bali, terms like “organic,” “ethically sourced,” or “sustainable” aren’t needed. These practices are naturally woven into their way of life as the foundation for growing and preparing food. Unlike modern Western cultures, which now use such labels, Balinese tradition has long embraced a holistic, natural approach to nourishment. Their values and lifestyle reflect a deep, seamless connection to nature, needing no special distinction to highlight this bond.
