What to expect
You'll arrive at the school in Ubud and spend the morning chopping, grinding pastes, and working over a proper stove. Your instructor demonstrates each step before you do it yourself—expect to get your hands dirty. Mid-morning you'll visit the gardens to pick fresh ingredients and understand how local cooks source their produce. By midday, you've completed three dishes. You'll sit together to eat lunch, tasting your handiwork alongside other participants or just your group. The school sends you off with printed recipes written in plain English so you can recreate everything when you're home.
