Talenan Bali Cooking Class

About this tour

Learn to cook three traditional Balinese dishes using time-honoured methods and equipment you'll find in local kitchens across the island. This three-hour class in Bali starts with a market walk to source ingredients, then moves to the cooking space where you'll prepare and eat lunch alongside your instructor. Hotel pickup and drop-off included, plus breakfast, refreshments, and fresh fruit.

Highlights

• Market visit to select fresh local produce
• Hands-on preparation using traditional cooking equipment
• Three complete dishes cooked and eaten together
• Ingredients sourced from farm and local suppliers
• Hotel transfers both ways included

What to expect

You'll start with breakfast, then head out to the local market with your guide to pick ingredients. Back at the cooking space, you'll work through three dishes using the same techniques and tools Balinese cooks have relied on for generations. The instructor walks you through each step—expect chopping, grinding pastes, managing open flames, and learning how flavours build. Lunch is the payoff: you sit down and eat what you've made. It's straightforward cooking, not fancy, and designed so anyone can follow along regardless of kitchen experience.
