This was so much fun! We loved being able to go to the market and see all the different things there. We were able to try fresh fruit that we can't get in the U.S. and the guide explained a lot about the local traditions. Once we got back to where we would be cooking, we were shown a family compound and were informed about how the family compounds work. We were able to cook all the dishes fairly easily and everything was delicious. We were so full that we couldn't finish it all! Great job to everyone that participated in this experience for us!!

Amazing experience which included a market tour and cultural tour. Our teacher/guide Visnu was knowledgeable, patient and a joy to be with. He and his partner Ketut were great! We cooked 6 delicious meals that we will cook again when we get home!

Really enjoyed the experience-learned a lot about Balinese culture and history. The cooking was full on but our efforts were rewarded by a lovely lunch (come hungry as we couldn’t finish it)

We both really liked this experience...because it was more than a cooking class. First off we were transported up from Jimbaren to Bali at 6:45 am and did not get back until around 2pm. We feel much more educated about driving in Bali now! The morning cooking course started with a trip around the local market and the chance to sample some of the foods on offer. Then a short drive to the cooking school which started with a visit to a local 'çompound' where three families are living. You get an an understanding of how the families live together...what they share and what they don't. A sit down for a cup of tea or coffee and a snack before heading off to commence the class. Before the cooking started we had a short wander through the garden to see some of the ingredients we were about to use. Long story short we prepared 6 dishes which after a couple of hours we sat down and ate. The food was very tasty and Ron was an attentive and helpful head chef. Ron takes real pride in what he has created at this cooking school and it shows. Nothing was too much trouble and he was happy to answer questions on anything Balinese...not just cooking. The cooking experience was hands on and caters for all levels of experience. Toilet facilities on site are excellent....for those wondering. We thoroughly recommend this experience and Ron and his team deserve success with it.

Enjoyed time with Kadek and her team- fantastic menu. Took us through the traditional methods of preparing authentic Balinese food. My kids had a great time working in the kitchen, a great family bonding experience.
