About this tour
Learn to cook six authentic Balinese dishes at a working organic farm in Pejeng, where you'll prepare meals using techniques passed down through generations. This five-hour session tailors recipes to your dietary needs, covers ingredient selection through to plating, and wraps with a proper sit-down meal. Your participation directly supports local farming families and reinforces the village's commitment to sustainable tourism that respects cultural practices.
Highlights
- Prepare six traditional Balinese dishes from scratch
- Work with seasonal ingredients from the farm's own crops
- Customise menu around allergies, intolerances, or preferences
- Learn why each spice and technique matters to local cooking
- Eat what you've cooked in a communal setting
- Take home a printed recipe collection
- Support Pejeng farmer livelihoods directly
What to expect
You'll arrive at the farm and ease in with herbal tea or fresh juice. A cook will walk you through each dish—from grinding pastes to handling the wok—and you'll work alongside them, getting your hands involved. Expect to chop, fry, blend, and taste as you progress through the menu. There's time built in to chat about why ingredients matter and how village cooks think about flavour. By mid-afternoon you'll sit down to eat everything you've made, often with farm staff joining. Drinks (infused water, tea, fresh juice) flow throughout.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting spattered. The farm is a genuine working space, not a polished kitchen studio. Return transfer from Ubud Centre is included. Bring the recipe book with you if you plan to cook these dishes at home—ingredients and methods are written clearly.
