Join your host Putu in her kitchen for a private, hands-on cooking class. Unlike many other TripAdvisor tours, this is a private experience. You and your host will 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 but you will be impressed by the speed and fluidity with which she prepares a complex menu with multiple dishes. You will taste a variety of authentic dishes with potential ones being Putu’s grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish with Balinese sambal (chili sauce), a curry dish (either chicken, fish or vegetarian) or perhaps a variety of pepes (foods seasoned with local spices, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed). You can expect the cooking lesson to last about 1-2 hours before you sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare with your host and her family.

Putu is a very friendly person. She and her husband picked us up at the hotel. She explained about the Balinese culture and showed us her garden and all the fruit and vegetables what grows there. After that we went cooking. She had prepared everything very well, assisted by another woman. We cooked 5 different things, it tasted excellent. Afterwards you get the recipes.

We had an absolutely amazing private cooking class with Putu near Ubud! From the hotel pickup to the warm welcome at her beautiful home, everything was perfect. Putu showed us her family temple, garden, and introduced us to homegrown fruits before we started cooking. Together with her wonderful assistant Made, she guided us through preparing five authentic Balinese dishes with lots of love, flavor, and clear instructions. The atmosphere was so friendly and personal. The food (especially the chicken satay with peanut sauce!) was incredibly delicious, and we could even take leftovers home. It was such a unique, authentic, and heartwarming experience — 100% recommended!

We had the most amazing time learning how to cook traditional Balinese dishes with Mrs. Putu. She is an extraordinary woman - warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about sharing both her culinary skills and the rich culture of Bali.
Not only did she guide us through every step of the cooking process, but she also offered fascinating insights into Balinese traditions, daily life, and spiritual practices. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Putu, her lovely cousin, and her kind husband for making this experience so special!
We wholeheartedly recommend this cooking class - it’s authentic, intimate, and absolutely delicious. A true highlight of our trip to Bali!
