The morning session begins with a visit to the stunning local market of Ubud whilst the afternoon session commences with the discovery of the family vegetable garden from where the majority of the ingredients used are sourced. In both cases, your guide will provide you with a great deal of information about the locally used plants and ingredients.

You will then get behind the stove, in a lovely open-plan kitchen, and you will prepare 9 of the most famous Balinese and Indonesian dishes. Ketut and his team will guide you through the process step by step and will be available throughout the class to advise you in English.

Then comes the moment you have all be waiting for: tasting the dishes! Expect generous portions and a convivial atmosphere together with the other participants, in a clean and well-maintained environment.

You will be back at your accommodation in Ubud around 2 p.m. for morning session or around 8 p.m. for afternoon session. If you are returning to a town in Southern Bali, the drop off time will vary.
