A Wonderful Balinese Cooking Experience - I absolutely loved this cooking class! It was such a special experience to learn how to make traditional Balinese dishes, and everything was so well organised. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and patient, which made the class even more enjoyable. I got to try things I’ve never experienced before, and it truly became one of my favourite memories from Bali. Highly recommended!

Absolutely Awesome - This was a worthwhile experience. The guide was very knowledgeable about the market and answered all my questions. Before we started cooking she explained how to prepare an offering and then had me prepare one. The cooking experience was awesome. She explained everything we would be doing before we started. She made sure I did as much of the prep work and cooking as possible. When done we arranged it on a platter, which showed the importance of presentation. Then I ate the delicious meal that I had prepared.

Highly recommended. Great day out and fabulous hosts and food. - We had a wonderful day hosted by chef Ronnie and his team. We are a couple from NZ and we’re joined by a tour group from Hungary. Great to be part of a larger group and we were all well looked after and entertained. It was an exceptionally well planned and paced day from the tour around the market - my inquisitive hubby just wanted to try everything he saw! To the welcome at the venue with coffee and local sweet treats in a traditional Balinese home was a highlight. To the main event - the cooking! The menu was great, instructions for cooking easy to follow and the food was delicious. We were even able to purchase a cold Bintang to go with our meal! Would highly recommend

Amazing authentic food. Loved it ! - Really awesome authentic experience. Ron (the cook) and his assistants were amazing. We were taken to a local market where we tried some produce. Ron explained how the market works, who uses the market and what the different fruits and vegetables were. We then went to a traditional Balinese house for tea and coffee and a light snack. The house was beautiful and Ron explained the meaning behind the multiple buildings a traditional Balinese house has. After this we cooked approximately 5 dishes and a dessert, all tasted amazing and Ron makes a great teacher. I went with my mother and grandmother and we all loved it. Very one on one/private cooking class. Highly recommend you give it a try!

Authentic and fun! - We had the BEST time at this experience. The food was delicious and the experience felt so personal and authentic. First we started in the Sayan market where we tasted local fruits and learned about the vendors and farmers and how the locals use the market (and we bought some fresh mango to take home!). Next we drove to the Lesung property where we visited a local Balinese house next door that belonged to one of the business owners. Here we met the coy fish, had fresh coffee, and learned all about Balinese compound housing, daily life, and various traditions like the ceremonies celebrating life stages. Next we walked through the spectacular garden and started the cooking class in the open-air purpose kitchen. Our host, Ron, was terrific and guided us through seven traditional dishes using various techniques. Ron was charismatic and hilarious - we were entertained the whole time. Also fyi they purchase the ingredients in advance from a supermarket because the supermarket keeps meat in the refrigerator which is better for foreigners stomach, so they are careful with food safety which we were happy about! We would highly recommend this to any traveler!

Excellent cooking class and getting to eat what you learnt to cook is a bonus 👍 - Excellent Chefs Alith and Ron are both very knowledgeable when it comes to authentic Balinese foods. They made the visit worthwhile. With their skills and added sense of humour made the class more interesting. If you ever get the chance to visit Bali , it’s highly recommendable to include them in your itinerary.
