A Must Do in Bali - This class was one of the best experiences I’ve had not only on this trip, but ever. My buddies and I are the types of people who seek out experiences that tap into the cultural essence of places beyond the touristy attractions, and cooking with Ron, a Balinese local, hit all the marks in that regard. The experience with our group of 4 felt very personalized, and never rushed. The food was delicious, of course. We give the highest recommendation to anyone traveling to Bali with an interest in authentic food and/or learning about Balinese culture to take this specific cooking class.

Very traditional and tasty! - It was a very fun and interesting activity.
Ron first showed us an traditional Bali house. Afterwards he showed us the farm with lots of vegetables and spices. Then we cooked 6 traditional Balinese meals. Ron told us a lot about the Balinese culture and cooking tradition. Definitely would recommend this beautiful activity to everyone, who wants to cook Balinese food with information about the Balinese cultural background.

Amazing Experience - This cooking class was awesome! We started by visiting a traditional Balinese home, which was super cool and gave a nice introduction into local life.
Then it was time to cook—and eat! The instructors were super friendly and made everything easy to follow, even for someone like me who’s not a pro in the kitchen. We made a bunch of delicious dishes.
The best part? Eating everything we made! I left full, happy, and with a few new moves in the kitchen. Totally recommend it if you’re in Bali and love food.

Amazing experience! - I really loved this Balinese cooking class! Before we started cooking, we visited a traditional Balinese home, which was a beautiful and meaningful way to learn more about the culture.
The class itself was very well-organized, and the instructors were friendly and helpful. We learned how to make several traditional dishes, and I was surprised by how much I picked up. The food was so tasty, and it was fun to cook everything from scratch.
At the end, we enjoyed the meal together—it felt like such a warm and authentic experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn more about Balinese food and culture!

Absolutely Do Not Miss This - This was such a fantastic experience. My wife and I loved all aspects of this experience. Visiting the market and trying fruits, learning about traditional Balinese homes, and the cooking class were all excellent. The class itself was amazing. The ingredients were so fresh and all the steps were easy to follow. I loved the traditional mortar and pestle we used and using ingredients straight from the garden. Everything was delicious. Don’t miss out! Thank you Ron for all your guidance and expertise.

Amazing Day ! - Our experience was amazing from start to finish ! Ron was kind, patient and instructive. We learned much more than cooking in the class! We learned about the balinese culture and their way of living. That is one of the best cooking class we’ve done so far. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Brilliant Evening Cooking Class – Highly Recommend! - We had such a great time on this Balinese cooking class. It ended up being just me and my wife in the evening session, so it felt like a private experience, which was a lovely surprise.
The hosts were welcoming and friendly. We started off with some traditional Balinese treat and a cup of coffee, which was a really nice touch. The setting was beautiful — a traditional Balinese home with a lovely garden.
The actual cooking part was really fun and hands-on. Everything was explained clearly and at a nice, relaxed pace. We made a variety of dishes, all packed with flavour, and we were genuinely impressed with how well everything turned out — even the bits we weren’t sure we’d be able to pull off!
All in all, it was a brilliant evening and one of the highlights of our time in Ubud. If you’re looking for something authentic, fun, and a bit different, we’d definitely recommend this.

Incredible cooking class! Highly recommend! - This was such a special cooking class. We first visited a traditional Balinese home and learned about the beautiful culture. Then, Ron and team conducted a highly professional and fun class, where we cooked a total of seven dishes. Each dish was accompanied by a cultural explanation. The atmosphere was incredibly happy, clean, and well-organized. We were sent home with recipes and full tummies! Thank you so much to the amazing team - would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bali.
