We received a warm welcome when we arrived, professional intros to the Chef and all staff. Modern and exciting architecture. There were only two of us so we had a private cooking/assisted demonstration then it was served beautifully to us for lunch. Aprons and recipe booklet as souvenirs. Also excellent communication prior to the day. A great way to spend an afternoon in Bali. Thank you.🙏

Great experience

Melanie_S, Aug 2025
Lovely experience. From communication, to pick up to the actual activity. I was the only participant and it was great having a private class. Food was great and wine was very reasonable. The property is beautiful and I would definitely return.

Fabulous experience and so much fun!

Nicola_W, Nov 2024
This was a fabulous experience from start to finish. Collected from hotel and taken to a beautiful villa where the class took place - we were the only 2 in the class! Surya the chef, talked us through all the fresh ingredients and we prepared a beautiful 3 course meal together in an outdoor kitchen by a pool. We then sat down to eat the meal with a lovely bottle of wine (extra) in the beautiful private surroundings. There was also 2 assistants to the chef, Oka and a lady (sorry didn’t get her name) who were also so charming and helpful. Surya was fun and gave us lots of tips throughout the class. We were then driven back to our hotel. A great way to spend a couple of hours in Bali. Would definitely recommend and such good value for money as included your meal and transport. Thank you to the wonderful staff who made it so special.

Dear Nicola, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the entire experience, from the pick-up service to the beautiful villa setting. Chef Surya, along with Oka and the rest of the team, loved sharing tips and local ingredients with you. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your meal by the pool in such a private setting and felt it was great value. Thank you for recommending us—your kind words mean a lot, and we hope to welcome you back in Bali soon!

Highly Recommend

This was a nice experience with my wife. The chef was accommodating in preparing a vegetarian option for my wife. The food (3 courses) we prepared was delicious. We also liked the venue as it was a beautiful villa with a private pool.
