Bali Cooking Classes
The focus of the Pesantian Bali Cooking Classes is to inform and immerse the cooking class participants in local ingredients and culture. To do this we run two classes a day.
The morning class, with hands-on experience, you will be guided in making a range of Balinese dishes, supported by our experienced local but English speaking Chef, Santika. Your senses will be alerted as you feel, smell and taste the fresh ingredients that you have picked up at the local market that morning.
The class starts with a free pickup from any hotel in Ubud region and transport to our local food market. Our Chef will guide you through the stalls, answering any questions, explaining and purchasing ingredients for your class. This market visit may introduce you to unusual fruits and vegetables, spices, meat and fish, as well as inform you of the important part that a local market plays in the everyday lives of Balinese people.
Cooking Classes
Select Class
You can choose the menu that we will learn with a professional chef.
Then, for two joyful hours in the traditional kitchen, you will learn to master the Balinese stone pestle and mortar as you grind and blend spices for fiery sambals or create the traditional all important Bumbu Bali. You will get to know native herbs and spices, dice, slice and grind to discover the secret of Balinese cooking and be able to take these new skills home.
Afterwards, in our Pesantian Warung with stunning 180′ rice terrace views, enjoy the delicious lunch that you have cleverly made yourself!
Can’t make it in the morning? We also host an evening class which is the same as the morning except without the visit to the market. This class is shorter but will still be informative and enrich your culinary life. You will also get to eat a lovely dinner that you have prepared yourself under the guidance of our expert chef, and enjoy being amidst the rice fields and landscape that is uniquely Bali.
