I was excited to join a Balinese cooking class and a dinner with a traditional family in their welcoming home 🫶 We started with a tour at the coffee plantation with a little tasting of local teas and coffees and then, headed to the place of their residence, where I learned about using the local ingredients such as galangal, turmeric and lemon grass 🌱 We got our hands dirty and cooked a 7 course meal together using delicious ingredients that we grilled on the coconut shells afterwards 😍 It was such a great experience to learn from the locals and enjoy the delicious flavors of Balinese cuisine 🌺
By far my favourite experience in Bali! Run by wonderful people, in a beautiful and a really easy going atmosphere. And delicious food!! Doesn’t feel “touristy” like some these kinds of things can feel. Also a lovely experience if you’re travelling by yourself.
Wayan first of all collected us and began his personalised tour of Ubud and the surrounding areas. Taking us to his family rice paddy before enlightening us to all the local produce at the local market. This was used for the 9 dishes were we’re about to embark upon at this family home. The entire family welcomed us with open arms and we made some of the most amazing dishes ever tasted. Thanks so much Wayan, this is a must for anyone visiting Ubud.
Amazing day and very nice people! Excellent food and amazing location! Definitely must be tried if you come to Bali! The people are very nice, recipes are easy and great, all natural ingredients. A new combination of sweet and sour.
The cooking class was one of the highlights of my time in Bali. It was jam-packed with knowledge, we learned a lot about the ingredients and the meals and participated in everything. The family also explained interesting facts about the Balinese compound, offerings, etc. I did some research and it seems that this class has the biggest number of recipes, which I really like. The only sad thing is that I lost my recipe book... Is there a way I can get it? Please let me know I'll be very grateful as I want to cook the recipes at home
