Full description

This is a 3-hour experience in Ubud, built around Ubud market South entrance, View point and Local restaurant. It is run by Private Sekar Bali Activity, 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.

Pickup is offered from Tegalalang, Ubud Palace, Gianyar and Ubud; the exact spot and time are agreed with Private Sekar Bali Activity once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers market tour, Ricefield walk, Learning about ingredients, Culture and tradition and Hands-on cooking. It does not cover Personal shopping and Hotel transfers, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Private Sekar Bali Activity 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 Private Sekar Bali Activity before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

It was my first time taking a cooking class, but I had a great time cooking. I was surprised by how delicious the dishes we made turned out. We were also given the recipes, so I’d like to try making them at home when I return to my country. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience!

Notre hôte était très amical et soucieux que tout le monde comprenne le cours. À niveau organisation, c’était au top : différents ateliers se sont enchaînés et tout le monde à participer Le fait de partager tous les plats préparés ensemble nous a permis de passer un môme très convivial À recommander !

Vi havde den bedste aften og værten og hans kone var rigtig skønt selskab !! Vi fik lov at prøve at lave de traditionelle ofringer der ses overalt på Bali, rigtig hyggelig aktivitet. Man fik muligheden for at både lave og smage en masse forskellige balinesiske specialiteter, og det smagte lækkert. Rigtig godt styr på hygiejne også!!! Vær opmærksom på at aftenkurset ikke inkluderer markedstur, da markederne ikke er åbne der, dog følte vi ikke vi manglede noget!!☺️
