Your host Putu will pick you up in the early morning and drive you to the Pejeng market, bursting with locals shopping. Putu will introduce you to the seasonal fruits, vegetables and spices on offer, and you’ll pick up a few ingredients for your upcoming cooking lesson. The market offers wonderful photo opportunities, so don't forget to bring your camera!
Back home, you'll work together to prepare 2-3 authentic Balinese dishes. As you chop, grind and grill Putu will teach you about the spices she uses in her family recipes as well as the medicinal qualities of Balinese ingredients. Putu's kitchen is simple, with only a two burner cooktop, and you'll be impressed by the speed and fluidity with which she can prepare a complex menu with multiple dishes. Potential dishes could be Putu’s grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish with Balinese sambal (chili sauce), or a curry dish. The cooking lesson will last about 1-2 hours before you sit down and enjoy the meal.

This was the best thing we did while in Bali. We would highly recommend doing the market tour and cooking class together as gives you a wonderful insight to local culture. We also got to enjoy a delish market breakfast! The home and garden tour was incredible as we learnt more about village life and how they nurture the land and grow their own food! Having a private class was great as it gave us the opportunity to learn every step of the cooking process and ask many questions. And ofcourse the food was incredible. Thank you so much to Putu and her family for sharing their home and culture with us.

Putu has been both a wonderful host and friend. She was warm and friendly. At the market, she gave a very good rundown of the ingredients and the culture behind the food. At her food, she was gracious in the sharing and was very generous with guiding through the culinary steps.
Our 5yo boy absolutely loved the experience, chasing chickens, ducks and dogs at her backyard.
The food was amazing, and our having cooked it made all the more sumptuous! Highly recommended.

On our last day in Ubud, we had the joy of booking this experience and it truly became the highlight of our time in Bali. Putu and family welcomed us with warmth and kindness, opening their home to us.
She guided us through the process with such patience, especially with our teens, making the entire experience feel both fun and meaningful. Every dish was prepared with the freshest ingredients, and the flavors were simply delicious.
This wasn’t just a cooking class; it was a glimpse into Balinese culture, hospitality, and heart. We left not only with full stomachs, but with full hearts, and memories we will treasure forever.
If you’ve never tried something like this, I can’t recommend it enough. We can’t wait to recreate these dishes back home and be reminded of this special day. Thank you again, Putu, for opening your home and sharing your world with us.
