Balinese Cooking Class in Nusa Dua: Learn 10 Dishes

Ten Balinese dishes you'll cook and eat the same afternoon

A hands-on cooking class in Nusa Dua where you learn to prepare 10 authentic Balinese dishes from a local chef in a beachside kitchen, then have dinner with what you've cooked. The class runs for an afternoon session and includes all equipment, a recipe book to take home, and afternoon tea. Pickup is included.

The experience

The class starts in the afternoon at a kitchen with a beach view in Nusa Dua. You work through 10 dishes (beef rendang, whole roasted chicken, seafood curry, grilled fish in banana leaf, minced chicken satay, green bean salad with chicken, vegetable salad in peanut sauce, fried noodles, fried rice, and coconut pancakes) each one taught by a local chef who walks you through the technique and the ingredients. You handle the cooking yourself, not watching a demonstration. The kitchen is set up so you have your own station and the tools you need.

Halfway through, you move from cooking to eating. The dishes you've made become your dinner, and you sit down to the meal with afternoon tea included. A recipe book goes home with you so the techniques and the flavors don't stay behind in Bali.
