    Amazing cooking class!
    We spent a wonderful morning with Wayan. It started with a knowledgeable tour through the market. The cooking class was great fun with lots of laughs and... importantly cooking! Then the best part, eating! It was a special family environment, preparing the food together and then eating. Wayne was an amazing host. Highly recommend!

    Great cooking class
    The communication with Wayan was very easy. He picked us up at our hotel and we visited the market, that was very interesting. Then we went to an rural place right next to beautiful rice terraces and startet cooking. We can really recommend this cooking class, as it is so well prepared, Wayan and his family are very helpful and funny. The food turned out delicious. Back home we will cook the food again! Thank you Wayan :)
    It's wonderful to hear about your positive experience with Wayan's cooking class. Exploring the market and cooking in a rural setting near rice terraces sounds delightful. Recommending it for its well-prepared structure, helpfulness, and humor of Wayan and his family is a great testament. Enjoy recreating the delicious dishes at home!

    Enjoyed it all.
    This was simply fantastic. Not only did we have some laughs, we made new friends, and learned some recipes that we are sure to try when we get back to our own kitchen. From the pick up from our hotel to the visit to the market to the lunch itself, everything was excellent. Definitely recommend.

    Perfect and unique experience for families
    Phenomenal local and authentic experience. Wayan catered perfectly for our 6 and 9 year old and made us feel right at home. Starting with a local market tour to understand the ingredients, and then meeting his beautiful family in a wonderful surroundings to make some incredible food. This experience was well worth it. Not rushed, very genuine and personalised. I would highly recommend for families looking for a hands on and unique experience.

    Best family cooking class in Ubud
    Wayan and his family are great. It was our family and Wayan's family cooking together. We went to the market to look at the variety of produce and sampled some fruits, then returned to Wayan's rice paddy to learn about the importance of rice to Balinese people. The cooking class was excellent, hands-on, fun, and we made 7 dishes and dessert. Wayan made some special dishes when we told him of a food intolerance. Ginger iced tea, Balinese coffee, and water were available throughout the class. This was the best family cooking experience we have done. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn about Balinese cooking,eat good food, and have fun with a local family.
    It sounds like you had an amazing experience cooking with Wayan and his family! From exploring the market to learning about rice cultivation and creating delicious dishes together, it's clear that you had a hands-on and enjoyable time. The inclusion of special dishes to accommodate food intolerances shows Wayan's attention to detail and hospitality. Your recommendation highlights the value of this experience for anyone interested in Balinese cooking, good food, and cultural immersion. Thank you for sharing your positive review!😊

    Fun learning
    Since the beginning - getting tips on driving a scooter in Bali- Wayan was kind and friendly ( what matters for solo female travellers) and led the lesson with a smile and efficiency. The market visit included some tasting and thanks to that I got to know my new favourite fruit( mangosteen!) Loved also making an offering and finally getting an explanation on it. We didn't do all dishes individually but shared duties, and going from one point to another was well-organized, needed ingredients just appearing thanks to ladies in the kitchen, so it didn't take that long. I also enjoyed flipping pancakes competition, and beauty of this location. One can take the food away in the box.
    It's fantastic to hear about your positive experience learning to drive a scooter and attending the cooking class with Wayan in Bali! Wayan's kindness and friendliness, especially important for solo female travelers, set a welcoming tone for the lesson. Exploring the market and discovering new flavors, like mangosteen, must have been a delightful experience. Making an offering and learning about its significance added a cultural dimension to the class. The well-organized structure and shared duties made the cooking process efficient and enjoyable. The pancake flipping competition sounds like a fun addition, and the beauty of the location surely enhanced the overall experience. The option to take the food away in a box is convenient for enjoying the delicious dishes later. Thank you for sharing your detailed review!

    Cooking class
    I highly recommend. Wayan is very friendly and kind. Even though we didn't live directly in Ubud, it was no problem to pick us up somewhere else. After picking up the last people, we went to the local market, where he told us individually about the raw materials that they sell there and that we will use later. After we begged the whole market, we continued to the place where we will cook. Cooking took place on the terrace. We prepared around 8 dishes, everyone joined in and no one was left out. Everything was well thought out until the last moment. Since there were only 7 of us, and the food was plenty, they were very happy to pack what we couldn't eat with us. It's a great experience that you shouldn't miss when you're in Bali. 😃👍
    Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation! We're delighted you enjoyed your cooking experience with Wayan. It's wonderful to hear you appreciated the personalized pickup service and the insightful visit to the local market. We're thrilled everyone got involved in preparing the dishes on the terrace, ensuring it was a memorable team effort. Packing up the extra food for you was our pleasure! We agree, it's an experience not to be missed in Bali. We hope to welcome you back soon!

    Memorable Way to Get Back in the Kitchen
    I had no plans to learn cooking whilst in Ubud but I found Tumang Bali's Cooking Class voucher at my hostel and I was intrigued. Pak Wayan was very enthusiastic from the get-go when I planned my class. I ended up having a "private" session with him and his lovely wife. He took me to a market in the morning which depicted an old kingdom. At his cooking workshop located amidst Ubdu's lush paddy fields, he taught me how to make canang and its significance. Finally, the masterclass commenced which involved at least 10 dishes! I haven't been in the kitchen in a long time and I'm glad that I decided to with Pak Wayan. He taught me some tricks like flipping the dadar gulung! Something I never could do beforehand. He was like a cheerleader throughout the class. Hopefully, my rendition of those classic Balinese delicacies taste as good when I try at home. Thank you!

This cooking class was a great experience, Wayan and his family were very friendly. Wayan picked us up and took us back to our hotel which made it very easy.
He was a great teacher and we made amazing variety of foods, which we sat down at dusk to enjoy with a Bintang beer, everything made even better by being surrounded by rice fields and Mt Agung in the background.
I would recommend this to anyone wanting an all round experience and cannot wait to go back myself

Best thing we have done on our trip (so far). Blessed with a great host (Wayan) and all that delicious food. The whole process was well orchestrated. Everyone had to turn to cook, assist, and then feast on a 9 course meal. Anyone coming to Ubud needs to put this on their "must do list" 👩‍🍳

We had a lot of fun at the cooking class. Wayan picked us up right in front of the hotel. Then we went to the market together, where he told us a lot about the different foods and Balinese culture. The whole team helped us prepare the different dishes. There was a very relaxed atmosphere throughout the whole class and we laughed a lot together. Thank you Wayan and the whole team for the incredibly great cooking class! I would definitely recommend it!

I participated in 2 cooking classes in a pleasant setting, surrounded by rice fields. The 1st day started with a visit to the market... a delight and the 2nd day was personalized with recipes that I wanted to learn.
The service included the pickup and return to the hotel, journey carried out by our host.
A very pleasant welcome and the half day ends with tasting the cooked dishes.
A big thank-you
