About

Start by heading to the Payangan market for shopping! This is a great place to discover local Balinese culture and lifestyle. Your guide will introduce you the unique style of bargaining in Bali, and introduce you to local meat, fish and other ingredients.

Then you'll arrive at the Balinese house, where you'll be welcomed with local coffee or tea by our chefs. You'll be taught how to cook authentic Balinese dishes using traditional techniques — this includes making your own Bumbu Bali, a local spice mix that essential for adding big flavours to any dish.

This is a hands-on cooking class, where you'll chop your own produce and grind ingredients with a pestle and mortar.

"I'll give them 5 stars, We highly recommend it!"

My husband and I had a wonderful time. it was only 2 of us - we got lucky with numbers so we had a whole private market & teaching experience. We did the actual prep and cooking under close instructions which made it a lot of fun. We certainly feel like we earned our certificates. The Chef, who was also the market guide, was very lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable. We were taught a lot more about just the food, learnt a lot about the day to day and centuries old cultures of balinese living. We've done a few teaching courses in various countries but this is where we learnt the most and learnt more than just about the food. We highly recommend it! Petting brownie, the dog and all the cute cats was a bonus too.

"Very educational and fun"

Nyoman was very helpful, full of Jokes, and gave very helpful tips. Emmy's boyfriend and I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. 🫶🏽

"Amazing !"

Thanks for showing us your house it was a very authentic experience I really enjoyed it!

"Excellent fun for the family."

When I booked this class for myself, daughter and husband, my husband was hesitant. Our driver picked us up early and was amazing as we were in a difficult to find location. We met the chef, Nyoman, at the markets and he gave us a tour. He was very informative and knowledgeable. He then welcomed us into his family compound and home where his aunties were preparing the food for the cooking class. His family's home was very beautiful and had lovely gardens. The cooking class was so much fun we cooked several dishes and there was so much food that we could not finish it all. The cooking class also easily catered for my daughter who is vegan. My husband said he really enjoyed the experience and wanted to do it again. Altogether it was an awesome fun thing to do. We wish Nyoman and his family all the best luck for the future.

"The best cooking experience I’ve ever had"

Amazing!!!! Everything was so fantastic, I never thought cooking could be so much fun. The whole experience was so great, the food, the atmosphere, our wonderful teacher Nyoman and his village. The class is held in his home surrounded by his 42 family members. Nyoman not only taught us traditional Balinese cooking but taught us about the Balinese culture, the health benefits of the fruit and vegetables and the balance of life. Nyoman’s uncle ‘Wayan’ was also a wealth of knowledge, he taught us the zen of life. I would have to say in all the years I have been coming to Bali, this cooking class was the best thing I have done, I loved every minute of it, this class needs to be on everyone’s ‘To do list’.
