Bali Culinary Cooking Class in Ubud (All inclusive)

About this tour

Spend six hours learning to cook Balinese dishes the way locals do, starting with a dawn market visit and farm walk through Ubud's countryside. You'll handle the spices and ingredients yourself, then spend three and a half hours in a family kitchen preparing multiple dishes from scratch. This isn't a tourist demonstration—you're doing the work, tasting as you go, and taking home the knowledge of recipes passed down through generations. Lunch is the meal you've made.

Highlights

• Early market visit to source fresh ingredients with your guide
• Farm tour identifying spices and produce used in traditional cooking
• Three-and-a-half-hour hands-on cooking session in a local home
• Prepare multiple dishes from authentic Balinese recipes
• Eat what you cook for lunch with the host family
• Return transport and refreshments included throughout

What to expect

You'll start early, walking through Ubud's traditional market where vendors sell vegetables, herbs, and spices you'll use later. Your guide explains what grows locally and why each ingredient matters to Balinese cooking. Next comes the farm section—smaller plots where you'll see where turmeric, galangal, and other essentials come from. Back at the cooking space, you roll up your sleeves and begin. Expect to pound pastes, fry aromatics, simmer curries, and learn techniques through doing rather than watching. The pace is relaxed; the host family eats with you.
