What to expect

You'll begin by visiting or learning about the organic ingredients that form the backbone of Balinese cooking, understanding seasonality and local sourcing. Then move into the kitchen where you'll prep and cook several dishes under the chef's guidance. Expect to handle pastes, spices, vegetables, and proteins—getting your hands properly involved rather than just watching. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a race. Partway through, you'll sit down to eat what you've made, tasting the results of your work whilst still warm.
