Discover Authentic Balinese Flavors at Ubud Cooking Academy
Dive into the heart of Balinese culture with a hands-on cooking experience at Ubud Cooking Academy. Led by passionate, English-speaking local chefs, this immersive class begins with a guided visit to a traditional market — where you’ll learn how to select the freshest ingredients just like the locals.
Your cooking journey continues in a serene Balinese home surrounded by lush greenery. In this welcoming setting, you’ll prepare 9 authentic Balinese dishes entirely from scratch — including spice pastes, mains, and sides — using traditional methods and fresh local produce.

Afterward, gather for a buffet-style lunch where you’ll enjoy everything you’ve cooked, shared with new friends in a relaxed, family-style atmosphere.
To wrap up your experience, you’ll receive a recipe booklet so you can recreate your favorite Balinese dishes back home.
