Ubud: Bali Farm Cooking Class with Market Tour

Begin with a market and farm tour

Your culinary adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from the Ubud center area, taking you to a vibrant local market. Here, you’ll explore the aisles filled with fresh produce, aromatic herbs, and spices unique to Balinese cuisine. With guidance from local chefs, you’ll select the essential ingredients for the dishes you’ll be cooking. Afterward, head to an organic farm where you’ll witness sustainable farming practices firsthand, learning how the fresh, organic ingredients add a special touch to Balinese food.

Cook traditional Balinese dishes in a serene farm setting

Once you arrive at the cooking venue—a traditional Balinese kitchen or an open pavilion surrounded by lush greenery—you’ll begin your hands-on cooking experience. Guided by expert chefs, you’ll prepare either 5 or 8 dishes, depending on your class choice, including staples like satay, nasi goreng, and sambal. Each step brings you closer to the heart of Balinese cooking, as you blend, grind, and cook with locally sourced ingredients. Learn traditional techniques, from crafting spice pastes to cooking over an open flame, while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the farm setting.

Savor your creations and take home a recipe booklet

After cooking, it’s time to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared. Gather with your fellow participants for a feast, sampling each dish and experiencing the unique flavors of Balinese cuisine. To wrap up, receive a recipe booklet and downloadable PDF so you can recreate these authentic flavors at home. With lasting memories of this cultural experience, you’ll head back to Ubud, bringing with you new culinary skills and a deeper connection to Balinese traditions.
