YOU MUST TRY THIS - The local market was amazing. It was great trying so many local fruits and vegetables. We thought we were headed to the cooking class only to be given a tour of their house. The tour and information remains the highlight for me which is saying something because the food we prepared and cooked was incredible. Such a personal time experience that we shall be doing again.

Amazing experience and delicious food - This is the best traditional Balinese cooking class! It was such an amazing experience from start to finish. Ron was our instructor and he was so funny and very informative. We started off the experience with a tea ceremony at a nearby traditional Balinese house. Highly recommend and very rewarding !!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I recently attended this cooking class in Ubud, from start to finish, everything was perfect -it exceeded all my expectations- and I can’t wait to try the recipes at home! The location was beautiful, providing a serene and inspiring setting for learning. The class was well-organized, and the ingredients were fresh and locally sourced. Ron was highly skilled, passionate about Balinese cuisine and he took the time to explain each dish in detail, sharing fascinating insights and the dishes we prepared were absolutely delicious.

Authentic, original, fun and tasty experience! - Very nice experience! The chef (Ron) was very pleasant and explained a lot about the culture and the traditional food of Bali. The location is just sublime, they did an amazing job. We were picked up from our stay and drove through Ubud to the cooking class location. Once there, you’re outside of the crowd and into the beautiful jungle like garden. Ron talked us through everything, with a good sense of humor here and there. The whole program took around 4 hours, and everything was done very hygienic (even at 30C).

Fantastic cooking experience - We had a wonderful morning at the cooking class with Rondana. We met Rondana at the market, where we tried different fruits and enjoyed Indonesian cake. Then we had a home tour and tried traditional tea. The location of the cooking course was beautiful. The cooking course with Rondana was fantastic. We made many traditional dishes, including desert. Rondana made effort to get to know us both and was an excellent and knowledgable teacher. We were given the recipes to try and make the dishes at home. Thank you for a day we will always remember!

Bali cooking class combined with Tanah Lot - We were delighted by the day trip that Dian S. worked out for us with Smile Bali Tours! We started with a market visit, then a home visit for coffee and cake, then a private cooking class with Ron of Lesung. Couldn’t have been better or more delicious! Next Dian brought us to the beautiful coastal Tanah Lot Temple and helped us take great pictures! Thanks Dian!

A wonderful cooking class in Ubud area. - Ronando hosted a wonderful cooking class for us. We met at the local market to learn about the fresh ingredients and a few tastings. Then we were greeted in the family home and compound with Balinese coffee and rice desserts and learned about the culture and home life . The cooking was very hands on and fun . Everything was clean and Ron was a very good instructor and guided us through every step. The food we prepared was traditional and delicious.
