Fantastic and friendly experience - The class was excellent, we were exposed to not only the best local food but also got to learn about what it is like to live in a Balinese family compound. Putri was an exceptional instructor, and all the staff were extremely accommodating when my partner experienced a sudden bout of heat exhaustion and were able to assist in keeping her cool and comfortable to allow her to quickly rejoin the class. Highly highly recommend, a must do if you're in Ubud.

Amazing cooking class experience! - I brought my yoga retreat group for a cooking class at Lesung and absolutely loved the experience. The hosts were so kind, funny, and welcoming. We felt right at home. It was an incredible experience and food was 10/10. Thank you for everything! We loved it!

Exceptional Cultural Experience! - We had an amazing time at the Lesung cooking school! The experience started with us going to one of the owners family compound. We got to drink tea and they taught us about various ceremonies that take place in the compound as well as the traditional layout of the house. We then cooked 6 Balinese dishes in a beautiful outdoor kitchen. They were so patient with us and showed us how to prepare everything. They had great vegetarian options for my wife and she enjoyed her meal. We all enjoyed our food and had a fun time cooking eating it. There was an option to go visit a local market to look at the ingredients, but we were on a tight schedule so we skipped that part. The whole experience lasted around 3 hours. Overall I couldn’t recommend this experience enough to people visiting Bali! The whole thing felt very authentic and all of the staff were great teachers (some were also comedians haha). Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a more cultural experience while visiting Bali!

Hands down a fantastic combination - We are so very glad we did this class! The combination of the cooking class itself (multiple fun techniques and recipes taught - very tasty!) and the home tour was great! Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and it was so interesting to learn much more about the complex Balinese culture than we otherwise would have without doing this tour!
