The 10 Best Cooking Classes in Bali, Indonesia
Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.

Had great time at this cooking school, easy to see why it’s so populated. Picked up on the dot for a tour of the markets which was very interesting. Don’t be afraid to try some things here too. Then back to the garden kitchen for our classes. There were only four of us so we got very hands on with all dishes. We cooked seven dishes in total and you get given a recipe book to take with you.I really loved that the dishes were less complicated than I expected so will be easy to cook back home. Thank you Irma and Wati for a great morning.

Ketut's cooking class is an experience for all senses. It starts of your morning fix of smell of the local produce in the Ubud market with probably the best guides in the area.

Recently attended the cooking class with my son. Very quiet in Bali as not School holidays and no Chinese tourists due to Coronavirus. It turned out to be just my son and I in the class which was perfect. We were picked up from our Villa and taken to a market which is generally not visited by the tourists and were given the opportunity to taste some fruits we hadn’t tasted before like Snake Fruit and Durian which we decided were not for us. From there we were taken back to the cooking school and cooked Beef Rendang, Mie Goreng, spring Rolls and Green Pancakes. Dewi, Koming and Arve were great teachers and the food was fantastic. A great food and cultural experience. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to experience the food and culture first hand.

My friend and I throughly enjoyed our cooking class at Janbangan Bali Cooking School. We were fortunate enough to have a private class and tour of the market, as we were the only people registered for the morning class. The entire family was welcoming and kind, taking time to answer all our many questions. It was very rewarding to consume the food we had prepared. Everything was very easy to prepare with the help from our lovely local cooking assistants. Thanks for the lovely experience. I would highly recommend others go to Jambangan Bali Cooking School too.

It was last minute, but they were able to accommodate us for an afternoon cooking class that resulted in dinner for 7 members of the class. Our driver picked us up at 2:45pm and the class was scheduled to start at 4 pm. We met our teacher, Aiyu, at her home in Tengkulak Village in Ubud, and we walked up steps to her lovely home with a traditional layout for a Balinese compound. Our menu included making the basic yellow sauce with ginger, tumeric, galangal, and lesser galangal plus a host of other ingredients. We made a clear soup with oyster mushrooms and fresh young coconut, traditional chicken sate skewers roasted over an open flame, chayote with mixed vegetables and yellow sauce, gadu gadu vegetable dish, tuna wrapped in banana leaves, tempeh and tofu in sweet soy sauce, and black sticky rice dessert. I am sure I forgot some of the dishes, but the experience was a lot of fun and Aiyu gave us a lecture about the uses of the spices for traditional medicine and the culture of Balinese families. Our class that began with strangers became good friends over the course of cooking. When we sat down to eat the results of our labors, we enjoyed it greatly. I highly recommend this cooking school for all. It is not very expensive IDR 375,000 per person.
