About this tour
Spend five hours in a Balinese kitchen learning how locals actually cook. You'll prepare signature dishes like slow-cooked chicken wrapped in banana leaves and fried rice, guided through each step by someone who knows the techniques. The class wraps with a shared meal of what you've made, plus you'll take home a recipe book and certificate.
Highlights
- Prepare chicken cooked overnight in banana leaf wrapping
- Master the technique for authentic Balinese fried rice
- Learn traditional folding and wrapping methods
- Cook alongside a local instructor
- Eat lunch made entirely by your own hands
- Take home printed recipes for later cooking
What to expect
Arrive ready to work. You'll start by understanding the key ingredients and spice pastes that define Balinese cooking, then move straight into hands-on preparation. The instructor demonstrates each dish first, then walks you through it step-by-step as you cook your own portions. Expect to get your hands messy—peeling, grinding, folding. Halfway through, you'll sit down to eat what you've prepared, tasting the results of your effort. The session finishes with a certificate and a recipe book so you can attempt these dishes at home.
Good to know
The kitchen is fully accessible. Prams and specialist infant seats are available if needed. Public transport reaches the location easily, though you'll need to arrange your own way there and back. The class isn't suitable for anyone with vitamin allergies. Wear clothes you don't mind getting stained.
