Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud — Traditional Cooking with Local Chefs

Our class starts with a visit to the local Ubud morning market, where your guide teaches you about local produce and spices. Then you walk through the rice paddies to our village kitchen, where Chef Wayan and the team prepare everything you will cook.

Over roughly four hours you will grind the Base Genep spice paste, prepare 10+ dishes, and sit down to eat a full Balinese meal with your new friends. The class is led entirely by local Balinese chefs using traditional techniques.

When you cook with local chefs, you are learning the recipes that have been passed down through generations. You will not find these dishes in tourist guidebooks or cookbooks — they are the everyday food of Balinese families, served at celebrations and at the family table.

Chef Wayan has been teaching cooking classes for over ten years. He speaks fluent English, is patient with beginners, and loves sharing the stories behind each dish.
