Such a lovely class - We had the most amazing time at this cooking class. I couldn’t stop grinning the whole time. Ayu and Irene were so lovely, it was so nice learning about Indonesian/Balinese culture from them. The food tasted incredible and it was really fun to make. We can’t wait to return to the UK and try to make tempeh ourselves, hopefully it’ll work in our cold weather! Definitely a highlight of our whole trip :)

Would highly recommend... - Would highly recommend this! Was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had in Bali and by far the most delicious food we’ve ate during our stay. Ayu is simply an exceptional host. Each one of us were completely thrilled by her impeccable teaching skills and her extensive knowledge on cooking. With such a kind heart she made us feel right at home. On top of that it’s definitely not an easy task taking on a group of 10 people in one session haha! Can’t express enough gratitude for Ayu and her wonderful family. If I had the chance I would definitely come back again!

Learn to make local dishes using fresh ingredients and tempeh - It is located in a quiet residential area. We learned how to make tempeh and how to make local dishes using tempeh and fresh ingredients. The English explanations are very easy to understand, and the instructor, Ayu, answers all our questions carefully. They also cater to vegans. We were given detailed recipes. The staff were all friendly, and it was a really great experience for all participants. We can take home a kit to make tempeh. The follow-up service for fermenting tempeh was also very helpful. We were able to make tempeh safely. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

Highlight of my Bali trip - The perfect experience! The whole family was incredibly welcoming, and their homestay was gorgeous. The whole process was very streamlined, and Ayu taught us so much about each individual ingredient as we walked through each recipe. Ngurah also went out of his way to go to a local market to purchase some tempeh starter for us because we expressed an interest in making tempeh ourselves at home. I cannot stop telling my friends about this experience, and I really encourage anyone visiting Bali to pay them a visit.

Ayu is such a wonderful... - Ayu is such a wonderful host. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. We made several tempeh based dishes and talked about the history of tempeh as we went. It was fascinating to see how tempeh is made and learn all the different ways I could cook it. Ayu also caters to non-vegans so this class is great for all dietary requirements. The end product was delicious and well presented. I left very full and can't wait to try some of the recipes at home. Ayu also does online cooking classes which I can't wait to join! Thanks for the great experience and conversation Ayu.

Balinese beauty through people’s souls, culture and cooking experience - I love everything! I felt like I was at home with beloved people who shared they priceless experience in the most excellent manner. Well organised from a cup of tea and to recipes and your own pack of yeast. The greatest values for me are communications and emotions, thanks, Ayu and Ngurah, you definitely left warm mark in my heart and mind!
