The 15 Best Balinese Cooking Classes

23 reviewed

A proper class starts at a market around seven, moves to a compound kitchen, and does not cook anything until the base gede has been ground by hand in a stone mortar. These 15 are the best, with class sizes, vegetarian and vegan handling, and whether the market visit is genuinely part of it or a photo stop.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 540 reviews · from $58

Ubud cooking class with market and rice paddies. Learn nine Balinese dishes, cook with local chefs, eat a big lunch, take recipes home.

“We really enjoyed the whole experience. The market was entertaining and an eye opener. The rice filed was lovely but the highlight was as the cookery school itself. Very enjoyable and informative and a really good lunch at the end of it. The only stopping it being 5 stars was our transfer from Nusa Dua. The driver was, even by Balinese standards, a bit scary and on the way back he offered to take us on the toll road but said we’d have to pay idr 15,000 even though when we got there it was 14,000 and then he didn’t have the right change so we ended up paying 20,000.”

He took us through his local village while explaining that Balinese religion, and his wonderful positive outlook on life. Once we arrived at his home, we were given a beautiful handmade book from the local children, and shown how to make 6 different amazing foods. The class was very hands on, with the majority of the work being done by us. The meal was one of the best we've eaten in our lives and we will never forget this experience. 10/10…”
