Full description

This is a 2-hour experience in Ubud. It is run by Menjangan Bali Trip, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Balinese cooking classes usually begin at a morning market to buy the ingredients, then move to a family compound or a purpose-built kitchen. The base of most dishes is base genep, a spice paste of shallots, garlic, galangal, turmeric, ginger, chillies, candlenut and shrimp paste pounded together, and from it come sate lilit (minced meat on lemongrass sticks), lawar (a chopped salad with coconut and blood in the traditional version), pepes (fish steamed in banana leaf) and the yellow rice, nasi kuning. Classes run three to four hours, you eat what you make at the end, and vegetarian versions are standard on request.

The price covers Cooking ingredients, Cooking equipment, Recipe book, Mineral water and chef. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Menjangan Bali Trip sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Menjangan Bali Trip before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Includes

  • Cooking ingredients (chicken meat, vegetables, herbs and spices)
  • Cooking equipment
  • Recipe book
  • Mineral water
  • Local chef

Großartig! Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, sehr schöne und authentische Location. Alles ganz frisch aus dem eigenen Garten geerntet und mit dem Know How, Gewürzen raffiniert zubereitet-extrem lecker! Wir können das Event nur herzlich empfehlen, zumal auch die Abholung und das Zurückbringen völlig reibungslos geklappt hat. Danke!

Super activité, bien organisée, un chauffeur est venu nous récupérer à notre hôtel. Les 2 cheffes Dewi et Melai sont adorables, très douces et prévenantes. On apprend et goûte de nouvelles choses et la dégustation des plats préparés vient sublimer cet agréable moment.

Had such a wonderful time! The food was so delicious but above all it was a lot of fun spending time with the two chefs who were teaching me. They were not only very patient, kind, skilled and attentive, but also taught me so much about Balinese culture and we had a lot of fun and laughs. Being picked up and dropped off to my hotel was also an excellent added bonus, and the premises where the cooking class was held are really gorgeous. It was great seeing the staff pick the produce right from the garden too. It’s a super nice and calming atmosphere. It was great getting a print out of the food

Good experience! pickup was on time, and the instructors were friendly and had everything prepared and organized for us to her started preparing one dish after the other. My kid is excited to try some of the recipes again when we get home. Includes a nice feast at the end, so it saves the cost of a meal too.

Der Kochkurs hat uns als Familie sehr viel Spaß gemacht! Wir wurden fachmännisch angeleitet und durften fast alles selbst machen. Auf unsere Kinder (10+13) wurde sehr nett eingegangen. Alle drei Gänge haben phantastisch geschmeckt und die Gespräche während des Kochens waren toll! Sehr zu empfehlen!

Incroyable activité !! Nous ne pouvons que la recommander ! Ils sont venus nous chercher en voiture à notre hôtel, et coup de chance, nous étions les deux seuls participants au cours (un vrai luxe!) du coup, un chef cuisinier et une assistante rien que pour nous ! Beaucoup d’ingrédients étaient déjà prêts sur la table, mais nous avons pu aller cueillir certains nous-même dans leur magnifique potager (concombre, maïs blanc…). Et quoi dire du lieu : SPLENDIDE ! Le cours a lieu dans les jardins de l’hôtel, dans un pavillon en bois, entouré de fleurs et la nature. Nous avons cuisiné 4 plats (une s

Sehr nette Köchin und Gehilfin. Zuerst haben wir einen Gang durch den Garten gemacht und dann wurde gekocht. Es war alles schon vorgeschnitten. Alles war lecker und so macht kochen Spass.
