Highly recommended - It all started one day before our cooking class when I received a message from our pickup driver Rukun saying we would be picked up at 7am from our hotel in Kuta which was nice just to have the confirmation. The following morning we were picked up at 7am on the dot by Rukun who ran through the mornings itinerary so we knew what to expect from our day. The car was private and well maintained. It took us about 90 mins to reach our destination at a small market with a small group of people and our cookery teacher. He showed us around stopping at various stalls explaining what things were and how local people used some of the produce. Then it was a quick trip back to our hosts kitchen which was in the most idyllic location between rice fields. We started by making our own offering which can be seen throughout Bali which was lovely. Then we chopped and ground ingredients by following the instructors guidance. Our fellow group consisted of another 8 or so people so hearing what was said was easy and he spoke good English. We took it in turns to fry ingredients and not before long we all sat down and ate our delicious lunch that we'd all cooked. It was great listening to stories from the other travellers who were from all over the world. About 1pm we left with Rukun to start our journey back, but not before we were all given the recipes so that we could practise what we we taught. It was great hearing about his life in Sumartra and how he loves his job meeting people all around the world. We got back to Kuta just before 3pm We had a fantastic day!! We both will be definitely trying out what we learnt at home. A nice surprise came later on in the evening when I received some photos and video of our day from Rukun, lovely touch! Highly recommended

We chopped, grinded, mixed, flipped, cooked and ate a 7-course meal! - The day started with an early morning trip up to Ubud. On arrival, we did a tour of a 'growers' market, learning about some of the foods we would be using and about their culture. There were 3 cooking stations, and the large group was split into groups of 10. We chopped, grinded, mixed, flipped, cooked and ate a 7-course meal, sharing lots of laughs with the people in our group. The tour was advertised as being 5 hours. We were picked up from out hotel at 6.30am and got back at 2.30pm. This was fine as we didn't have anything else booked for that day, but take this into consideration if you do. We had lots fun and I would definitely recommend. Great value for money.
