Not as advertised!

Tim_W, Apr 2025

The tour was meant to start at 7am, got a message the night before saying we would be picked up at 8am. The driver didn't arrive until 9am. We then drove from 1hr 30min to a 2/3 closed market. The tour was meant to include a market tour where you buy the ingredients and they demonstrate how to bargain, the driver brought some fruit and told us to walk around the very empty market. We then drove for another hour to the cooking school. I didn't really learn anything. I chopped a few ingredients, mixed it with some chicken mince and cooked it on charcoal. My partner help make curry and soup. We sat down for lunch which was okay. The black rice pudding was burnt (they cooked it) and inedible. The tour was meant to include breakfast, lunch and dinner - it only included lunch. We then drove for 2 hours back to our hotel. The cooking school part was 40min max where we mainly chopped ingredients. The location of the school was lovely and the staff were very nice. Just not what was advertised and we pretty much wasted our whole day driving.

Delicious Balinese Food

It’s not everyday you get views of a rainforest while you cook. This experience was amazing and an absolute highlight of our trip to Bali. You could feel the passion these people had for their community and culture. The day started with a tour of a local market, then a tour of the rice fields as you make your way to the cooking school. If you want to find a way to support a little Balinese community first hand, especially after the struggles of Covid, book yourself into this tour - you won’t regret it at all.

Heerlijke ervaring!

Een heerlijk relaxte ervaring. Gede pikte ons samen met zijn vrouw op bij ons hotel. Het was 1,5 uur rijden naar de locatie. Vlak bij de locatie hebben we de rijstvelden bezocht. Kregen daar goede info. De locatie zelf is uit een sprookje! Wat ontzettend mooi is het daar. De kookles was leerzaam. We waren met twee en ieder maakte twee gerechten. Het is een kookles light. Leuk en ontspannen, niet voor ver gevorderde koks. Heerlijk om te doen op vakantie. Uiteraard mag je daarna alles zelf opeten. Een aanrader. Ik zou bijna vergeten te zeggen, maar de mensen zijn enorm vriendelijk en gastvrij. Je voelt je heel welkom.
