Cooking Class - The hostess and her home compound were both excellent. She shared interesting information about Balinese family structure and the talked about what we would be cooking. We cooked 9 dishes and enjoyed the process throughout. Our driver Komang Ayuni was also excellent. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and importantly, a great driver. I highly recommend the Cooking Class and driver.

Fantastic cooking class in Ubud - Fantastic cooking class in Ubud. First, stop markets with an overview of produce, then onto the cooking class at a family home. We were greeted by the beautiful host, who was highly knowledgeable and gave us all step-by-step guidance. We made around nine dishes from scratch. The staff assisting her were fantastic, and our recipes were delicious. A cookbook was also an extra which is an excellent idea as there was so much information. Great clean venue and a beautiful garden setting. I would highly recommend this.

Amazing Ubud Cooking School - Absolutely loved this day trip. The tour company communicated regularly from the start which was fantastic. Our tour driver Yogi was amazing and so informative and helpful. The cooking school was fabulous and highly recommend. Not only did you learn how to cook but learnt about village life and medicinal purposes of the food. My 14 year old nephew absolutely loved it too. Thank you.

AMAZING and FUN - I attended the afternoon class with my 11 yearly son and we had a blast. Made was very welcoming with a great sense of humor. I really appreciated her sharing her culture and teaching us Balinese cooking and tradition. The extra staff was also very helpful and the food that we made was delicious! Although we did not have food restrictions, there were people in the group who had food restrictions -which she accommodated to. For her to share her home to all of us was amazing . My sister and her husband attended the morning class and they got to see the morning market- they really enjoyed the the class as well. Made and her family is awesome.
