Great experience, even when it's raining!
Got picked up in the morning for the early class at the hotel and went to the market in Ubud. Having a guide (also the chef) there was really helpful because it can be quite overwhelming.
The next stop was at a small coffee plantation where we learned about Balinese Coffee and had a coffee and tea tasting with all their flavours (all vegan/plant-based soymilk as cow milk is hard to come by in that area+expensive). You also have the chance to try the famous cat poo coffee (luwak coffee) for 50000 rupiah. I definitely would not miss out on that! It is really special!
There is also a small shop where you can buy all the teas and coffees, which are also great souvenirs to bring home!
After that we drove to the home of our chef, which is a very beautiful, traditional Balinese house where he also explained the architecture, which is very special!
And then, finally, the cooking class started!
We cooked many different traditional Balinese dishes and also one dessert, which were all SCRUMPTIOUS!!!
Also, out of 4 people I was the only vegan person so we cooked two versions of each dish. The vegan versions did not lack in taste at all, the chef really knows how to prepare tasty, satisfying plant-based cuisine, I was really blown away!!!

More intimate cooking than a large cooking school. Great to see a local family compound and cook in a smaller environment. Very well organized in terms of pre-cut dishes, and many delicious foods. Dishes are very tasty. Very friendly family. Highly recommend.
However be cautious and ask if you will be visiting the market or plantation if you are going in the afternoon.
Also recommend to contact them directly to book as the agencies take a big cut and you might get a discount from them directly.

Absolutely fantastic morning spent with Made and his family. First we visited local markets then a coffee plantation which was surprisingly an excellent experience with a whole taster platter of drinks to try. Then a few hours of fun cooking at Mades house with beautiful jungle views. They were kind, friendly people and we loved every minute. We even purchased a mortar and pestle and very big knife off them to take home. Loved it!!!

We had a very enjoyable experience learning to cook with Made and his family. He and his wife were very kind and eager to teach all of us how to make some very delicious Balinese foods. He was very encouraging to the kids (ages 12 and 10) and gave them lots of freedom to prepare and cook the foods. Everything tasted amazing and he gave us all the recipes so that we can cook the meal ourselves when we return to Canada. This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Bali!

This cooking class was absolutely fantastic! We were picked up directly from our hotel and the first stop was the market where we saw where the fresh food is purchased.
Then the cooking class which was in a traditional Balinese home, with beautiful views of the surrounds.
We had a group of about 10 and together made about 10 different dishes (vegetarian options for everything as well as there was a vegetarian couple).
Everything was very well prepared and organised and all the food was delicious - the best we've eaten in Bali!
At the end, before dropping us back to the hotel we were given the option of visiting the coffee plantation (at no extra charge) which was great fun.
All up, a fantastic experience and great value for money.

This was an amazing experience. I contacted the cooking class yesterday evening only, and I had the cooking class today morning. We started at the market, visited a plantation/farm and than we started to cook delicious vegetarian food. I got all the recipies printed as well. Hotel pick-up and drop off was part of the package. Highli recommended.

We went to the Bali Manggang cooking class and had a really good time, good and frest food. Our teacher was really nice and it was probably the best food we had in bali so far, would definitely recommend it! We liked the banana dumplings the most. You get a list with the recepies after! We decided to do the class really spontaneously, so we were so glad everything worked out. We also were able to cook a completely vegan menu!

Made brought us to his family home and shared his kitchen with us for cooking. He also shared interesting details about the Balinese culture and architecture. We made 9 dishes together and food turned out great!

I loved the cooking class! It was just the 2 of us, so very personal. We got a full explenation, help and at the end we got to eat our own meal and got to take the recipe home with us.
Thank you for everything and I will come back if I'm visiting Bali again 😊

It’s probably best to do it with at least one other person as you make a lot of dishes and a lot of it will go to waste. You can take some with you I suppose.
It certainly doesn’t need a group. We did it as a couple.
