• Jalan Raya Pesalakan - Experience a private, interactive Balinese cooking class with Putu in her home kitchen, located in her ancestral village in Ubud, surrounded by lush gardens and tropical orchards. You will be warmly greeted by her multigenerational family before collaborating to prepare five authentic dishes, using fresh ingredients sourced from her own farm. As you chop, grind, and grill, Putu will share stories about her family recipes, the vibrant spices she uses, and the healing properties of traditional Balinese ingredients, most of which are sourced directly from her farm. Her kitchen may be simple, with just a two-burner cooktop, but you will be impressed by the ease and grace with which she creates complex flavors. Your meal will be complemented by their family’s homegrown rice, cultivated by Putu’s grandparents, who are rice farmers.

In addition to cooking, Putu provides warm insights into Balinese Hinduism and local life, all with a great sense of humor that makes the experience both meaningful and enjoyable. The class lasts about 1.5 hours and concludes with a shared meal of everything you’ve prepared. It’s ideal for food enthusiasts and curious travelers seeking a deeper, hands-on connection to Balinese culture and cuisine.

Join your host Putu in her kitchen for a private, hands-on cooking class. Unlike many other TripAdvisor tours, this is a private experience. You and your host will prepare 2-3 authentic Balinese dishes. As you chop, grind and grill, Putu will teach you about the spices she uses in her family recipes as well as the medicinal qualities of Balinese ingredients.

Putu’s kitchen is simple, with only a two-burner cooktop but you will be impressed by the speed and fluidity with which she prepares a complex menu with multiple dishes. You will taste a variety of authentic dishes with potential ones being Putu’s grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish with Balinese sambal (chili sauce), a curry dish (either chicken, fish or vegetarian) or perhaps a variety of pepes (foods seasoned with local spices, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed). You can expect the cooking lesson to last about 1-2 hours before you sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare with your host and her family.
