Your experience

Cooking and culture in Canggu’s heartland

Nestled in Canggu’s lush landscapes, this immersive cooking experience takes you deep into Balinese culinary traditions. The journey starts with a market tour, where you’ll walk among lively stalls, selecting fragrant lemongrass, fresh turmeric, and fiery chilies—essential ingredients for authentic Balinese flavors. It’s here that you’ll experience the local art of haggling and hear from vendors about the rich uses of these ingredients in recipes.

Back at the kitchen, guided by expert local chefs, you’ll dive into hands-on cooking, learning techniques passed down through generations. From slicing and grinding spices to perfecting a flavorful bumbu paste, every step is designed to bring out the soul of Balinese cooking.

Make authentic Balinese recipes

As you cook, the chef shares insider tips on balancing spices and flavors, turning raw ingredients into delicious dishes. Soon, you’ll be whipping up traditional favorites like Chicken Soup and coconut turmeric chicken, carefully following techniques for wrapping Ayam Betutu in banana leaves. The sweet scent of fried bananas fills the air, while the rich aroma of peanut sauce bubbling for sambal veggie salad makes the experience come alive.

Once the cooking is done, sit down with your group to enjoy the feast you’ve prepared, soaking up the view of lush rice paddies and countryside. Each bite is a reminder of the vibrant flavors you’ve created, and at the end, a cooking class certificate awaits—a perfect memento of your Bali culinary adventure.
