Ubud, Central Bali
Cooking Class with Market Tour
Shop a local market, then cook six Balinese dishes
A Balinese cooking class is one of the most rewarding half-days you can spend in Ubud. Most start with a guided walk through a bustling local market to meet the vendors and learn the spices, then move to an open-air kitchen — often in a family compound among the rice fields — where you'll grind your own bumbu Bali spice paste and cook a full menu of five to seven dishes to eat together at the end. You'll usually take home a recipe booklet too.
