Cooking Class with Market Tour in Ubud
Start at the traditional Ubud morning market, then cook what you buy. This Balinese cooking class pairs a guided local market tour with hands-on cooking of 10+ dishes.
Guided Market Tour
Shop the traditional Ubud morning market with a local guide.
Rice-Field Walk
A scenic walk through the paddies on the way to the kitchen.
10+ Dishes
Cook everything you bought, then dine on it together.
The market is where the class really begins
Before you cook a single dish, you will walk the traditional Ubud morning market with your guide. This is where locals shop daily — stalls piled with galangal, turmeric, lemongrass, palm sugar, fresh tofu and tempeh, banana leaves and bird’s-eye chillies.
You will learn how to recognise and choose the ingredients that define Balinese cooking, understand what each one does in a dish, and see a side of Ubud most visitors never reach.
From market basket to shared table
Back in the kitchen, the ingredients you selected become the meal. You will grind the Base Genep spice paste, cook 10+ traditional dishes step by step, then sit down to eat everything you made.
The market tour also includes a short rice-field walk on the way to the kitchen, so the morning is a complete cultural and culinary immersion, not just a cooking lesson.
