What To Expect

Experience the delicious food and warm hospitality of Bali with Kadek and Putu. Join Kadek's sister, Putu, and members of their family in the family compound to cook traditional Balinese dishes from scratch. First Kadek will pick you up from your Ubud hotel and take you to a local Gianyar market, where he will show you regional fruits, vegetables and herbs that are used in Balinese cooking, before returning to his home to cook together. If you're interested, before the cooking experience, Kadek can show you how he grows local fruits and vegetables at his home, a few doors down from his sister's house. As you explore the garden he will offer you a fresh juice, squeezed from just-picked seasonal fruits like mulberry, passion fruit, papaya, mango, or jackfruit. After cooking, enjoy an authentic Balinese meal of dishes such as piquant chicken satay, stir-fried vegetables, steamed fish, rice, and, for dessert, fried banana with grated fresh coconut and palm sugar.

This class was full hands on you got to chop all the way to cook! If we ever get a chance to come back to Bali I will be booking this class again!!! I would highly recommend this class to anyone!

We did a cooking class with Putu and we would recommend the tour to everbody that is interessted in cooking of culture. We cooked 5 dishes and could chose whether we wanted vegan/ vegetarian/ meet dishes. Putu was really nice and explained us everthing we wanted to know. She also showed us her property and her massive garden, with many fruits and vegetabels. We could also try some of them. The dish we cooked was one of the best, we tried in Bali so far. It was really delighous. After the cooking she gave us take-away boxes, to take the left overs with us. We really loved that experience. She also send us all of the recepies we cooked.

Absolutely amazing experience. I couldn’t recommend this enough. My wife and I were unsure of what to expect, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip!
