We were picked up and the wonderful private experience began. Petu is a great chef and teacher BUT more importantly a wonderful human being. If you know how to cook or not it doesn’t matter! You will learn and enjoy this time at her family Balinese compound Her grocery store is her yard. Which is so cool! Her sous chef is her cousin Maddy. We made 5 entire dishes (with all Sauces and marinades) in no time flat because she is so organized. I have done many of these cooking classes. And this is the first time I was allowed to eat anything before it was all done. I loved that. The meal and fellowship was fantastic But at the end of the night I decided my favorite “dish” was Petu. She made the whole night magical. I know I read all the reviews before I booked this experience. Nothing was over exaggerated. It was all it claimed to be! May you and your family be blessed forever Petu Kathy + Brett

Wonderful experience with friendly family. Made us feel at home in their kitchen. Learned a lot about cooking with herbs and spices.

My friend and I enjoyed the whole event very mush. It’s 30mins driving from Ubud Sayan(Naya Ubud) and they offer pick up service. The chef Dewa gave us a very informative and interesting tour of their village which is beautiful, well maintained, and ecofriendly. You get to learn the life of traditional Balinese people. The cooking class starts after the tour. I’d suggest find at least 2-3 people to join the class together as the food will be too much for one person. Lastly, the food was 100% amazing! Highly recommended!

Our instructor and guide Putu was so nice! Her english is great. She helped us through each step with good advice on what to try to achieve and what to avoid. The food was amazing and we ended up making enough for leftovers 🙏

Putu is amazing! Her hospitality was amazing and we had SO much fun! We made 5 different dishes at Putu’s home after our tour of the market

This was a brilliant experience. We took a tour of a market place first, learning about the many different local ingredients, then went back to the farm to cook. The course was really great for a family activity - there were many different courses to prepare so everyone was involved. Our host was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, inviting us into her home and showing us the workings of a typical Balinese farm. And the food we made together was absolutely delicious! My only regret is that I'd eaten breakfast beforehand (still we are able to box up the copious quantities of food we didn't eat there and are looking forward to having them later!)

Amazing experience with a great teacher! We recommend everyone to book this cooking class. Thx a lot for your hospitality.

My friend Jodie and I went the the Lemon Grass cooking school in Ubud and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the time shared leaning about the Balinese culture their traditions and cooking nine different meals

Santika was fabulous! A local and international chef, we cooked a spectacular meal together which was brilliant for my teen and 2 young children. He made us all feel welcome and it was a lot of fun and a truly delicious meal! Would highly recommend. His restaurant in the hills had a beautiful breezy outlook overlooking the lush gardens of their villas where you can stay. Loved the whole experience!

Great way to see the way people in Bali live in villages. Very informative, interesting and the cooking was great. We went with our 13 and 11 year old who are fussy eaters - they loved the cooking and the food we made was amazing! Highly recommend

This is NOT a ‘tourist’ trap. This is the real deal. We learned (and then ate) a 4 course meal made with fruit, herbs and veggies from the garden, fresh chicken (from their chickens) - and let’s not forget the best green beans of my life, and (of course) rice from their farm. Everything was cooked in home made coconut oil made by their neighbor (ummm yes I’m bringing a few bottles home with me). That was just the tip of the iceberg! We were given a tour of the family compound and had all the temples and lifestyle explained to us. A tour of the garden - and then were given a treat of a traditional Balinese dance from her niece and experienced her ‘hobby’ which is weaving with the hand died yarns from her garden (yes I bought one of these exquisite pieces to hang in my house). I experienced Soooooo much love and warmth and generosity. This is the best thing I have done in Bali so far! Do this first so you can then approach the culture with a foundatiinal understanding as you move forward with your days. Oh, and they have a super cute brand new guest house with an infinity pool overlooking the rice gardens. I’ll definitely stay here in the future.

We had a wonderful evening with chef Santika! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone! He picked us up at our accommodation and drove us to his village about 20 minutes from Ubud and was happy to answer all our many questions along the way. Santika’s place is very scenic (he also has accommodation available there which looked great) and the kitchen fully equipped. The cooking class was very interesting, informative and fast paced. We learned how to make lots of dishes and I actually feel confident I could make them again at home. They all tasted AMAZING! It was a real privilege to get such hands on instruction from such an experienced chef. For anyone with food allergies just remind Santika beforehand and he can cater to your needs. For kids, be careful, the knives are extremely sharp!

One of the best touristy activities I've ever had! Getting to know the local culture and history, plus seasonal ingredients and cooking skills - the REAL farm to table feast for sure 🙌

It's a good hotel to spend your holidays and you would meet new people here and have a friends around the world and the animation team here is the best

The experience was Amazing. Putu cooking class is extremely informative starting with a personal welcome and garden tour. The class lasted for 3 hours. Finishing with our 5 course dinner to enjoy. Everything very well explained with brilliant instruction. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys cooking and learning new techniques. Fabulous. Peter and Brenda Arnesen ❤️
