Join your host Putu in her kitchen for a private, hands-on cooking class. Unlike many other TripAdvisor tours, this is a private experience. You and your host will prepare 2-3 authentic Balinese dishes. As you chop, grind and grill, Putu will teach you about the spices she uses in her family recipes as well as the medicinal qualities of Balinese ingredients.

Putu's kitchen is simple, with only a two-burner cooktop but you will be impressed by the speed and fluidity with which she prepares a complex menu with multiple dishes. You will taste a variety of authentic dishes with potential ones being Putu’s grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish with Balinese sambal (chili sauce), a curry dish (either chicken, fish or vegetarian) or perhaps a variety of pepes (foods seasoned with local spices, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed). You can expect the cooking lesson to last about 1-2 hours before you sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare with your host and her family.

We were picked up and taken to the home of Putu, where we were totally involved in cooking fabulous Indonesian food. Most of the food was grown on the small holding and was fresh and delicious. We used traditional methods- steaming rice over wood burning stove, grinding ingredients by hand to make satay, and lots of chopping on wood blocks with small cleavers. Putu was informative and gave lots of background information. Everything was beautifully clean and well organised. We all loved it. And the food was delicious!
10/10 recommend! An amazing experience :)

Putu and her family opened their home to us, provided safe transportation to and from our villa, and were so kind and welcoming. Putu helped explain the layout of a traditional Balinese home, showed us her home and her home temple, and helped us learn about the special ceremonies happening the week we were in Bali. Putu, her cousin, and her husband were all so kind throughout the whole experience. Getting to learn to cook 5 Balinese dishes all from ingredients grown from Putu’s family garden was a highlight of our time in Bali. HIGHLY recommend doing this if you are in Ubud! Some of the most delicious food we’ve had in Bali, and a lovely way to experience Balinese culture from local people :).
Absolutely top highlight experience

We had a great time. Putu was friendly and shared her home, culture, and traditions with us. We loved learning how to make Balinese food and Putu was a great teacher. We had so much fun and made so much good food! We would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bali.
Such a fun cooking...
