Full description
Choose the ideal daily session for your holiday schedule:
- Morning Session (with Local Market Tour): Perfect for early risers. Walk through a vibrant local village market to see how local families buy their daily produce. Afterward, gather fresh herbs on our farm and prepare a traditional six-course Balinese lunch.
- Afternoon Session: Designed for a relaxed pace. Enjoy a slow morning in town, skip the market rush, and spend your afternoon picking organic vegetables directly from our garden beds to cook a fulfilling early dinner.
- Evening Session: Spend your day exploring Ubud or surrounding beaches, then join us as the sun sets. Harvest your own raw ingredients in the late afternoon light and cook a spectacular dinner under the jungle stars.
Every session includes a free return shuttle from our central Ubud meeting point (Pura Dalem Puri central parking), a printed recipe booklet to take home, and all the food you cook. Our local instructors easily adjust the traditional recipes to regular, vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets using separate shared stations.
