Lobong Culinary Experience: Immersion into Balinese Cuisine & Culture

Over ons

Want to learn the secrets to cooking fresh and flavorful Balinese cuisine? Better yet, want to learn inside a beautiful, traditional and serene family home? Then join us for a full immersion into Balinese cooking and culture!

We'll start by visiting a local market, where you will shop and be introduced to the fresh herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables used for your cooking class. 

Once home, you’ll be greeted by Dewa with a cup of coffee, tea or mineral water and his famous Pisang Goreng (freshly-made crispy banana fritters) to set off your taste buds.

You’ll then learn how to prepare an authentic Balinese 3-course menu, including an appetizer, main dishes, and dessert. When we cook together, we will show you how to recreate these dishes back at home for your family and friends. We’ll even teach you how to make serving dishes and decorations out of banana leaves for a true Balinese feast.

The cooking experience will end on a relaxed note, with everyone gathering together to enjoy their self-prepared meals. You'll leave our home as a true Balinese chef! 

Our staff are fluent in English and love to meet new people. We hope you enjoy your time with us and learn new things, not only about our wonderful Balinese cuisine, but also about our everyday lifestyle, families, home shrines, and culture.

As a small souvenir to remember us by, everyone in the class will receive an illustrated instruction booklet with a menu, recipes, cooking tips, and plenty of space for personal notes.
