Market visits, fragrant spice pastes, and dishes you'll recreate for years.
A cooking class at one of Ubud’s excellent cooking schools is a wonderful way to deepen your connection to Balinese culture. Our current favourites include Casa Luna, Lobong, Paon, and Payuk — each offering daily classes suited to different tastes, dietary preferences, and skill levels.
Many programs begin with a visit to a local market to explore fresh ingredients, spices, and traditional utensils, guided by knowledgeable cooks who share insights into Balinese food culture. Back in the kitchen, you’ll learn to prepare a selection of classic dishes before sharing a delicious communal meal at the end of the class.
It’s a fun, flavourful experience — and you’ll take home the recipes so you can recreate a little taste of Bali long after your holiday ends.
