What To Expect

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. After you're picked up from your Ubud hotel, you will drive to a local market (if you've selected the market tour option). Here you will be taken on a tour of the local market, so you can discover local Balinese vegetables such as cassava, ferns, lemongrass and a variety of bananas. You may even buy spices or a few vegetables that are in season, which will be later used to cook a traditional Balinese meal in the cooking class. After your market tour, drive to Santika's home amid rice fields for your cooking class. Join your hosts in their beautiful open kitchen and help cook a range of traditional Balinese daily dishes, using local ingredients and spices. You will have your own work area with a chopping board, motor and pestle and stove, so you can cook along with Santika. After you 1.5 hour hands-on cooking class, enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare.

    Although I have had many times to eat Indonesia food. But Chef Santika really brought us a wonderful Balinese spice experience. A lot of fun and knowledge. I start liking Bali food now.
