Had a great time at the Balinese cooking class. Went with the chef to the fish market in the morning which was great to see. Enjoyed preparing and cooking the 3 course menu. Was a fun, enjoyable experience and would recommend to get an insight to some authentic Bali cooking

The chef was awesome. Good knowledge and explanation of how to cook Balinese food.
The food at the end of the trip was delicious!!

This class was such a blast! Chef Putu and Manik made everything super easy to follow and kept the class entertaining and engaging
The highlight was the trip to the fish and produce market to buy fresh ingredients and see the market in action
The food we made was delicious. It honestly felt more like cooking with friends than being in a class.
I’d definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun time with great food!

Great staff, personal experience, but food was cold once we got to eating it. Cooking class mainly consisted of chopping the ingredients.

A serene culinary journey at Amala Villa- we made a base for all the dishes crafted, every spice tells a story by the chef (I forgot his name) and every dish is crafted with grace amidst nature’s embrace. 🌿✨

Chef Putu & Evi were such great teachers during our cooking class. They taught us how to bring Balinese food back home in a simple and delicious way! We can’t wait to share part of our Bali trip with family and friends!

I highly recommend this cooking class. We went to the market and cooked three delicious items. The service was outstanding. They were kind and patience with a great passion for cooking. We ended the class by eating the meal outside with a beautiful table preparation. And they threw in a few surprises that added a great touch. You should definitely consider booking.

Getting to experience the local central market to purchase the fish for the class, and learning about all the foods at the market.

Beautiful, calm venue. Small class size - 6. Lovely, friendly staff. And of course, delicious food.
Everything was great except this feedback form - not a good idea to force reviewers to add extra wording.

I enjoyed talking about the ingredients and understanding better Balinese cooking. Chef very friendly and give good advice. Only wish we went to markets as this was supposed to happen from what I booked.
Samanta_D, Jun 2022
The activity starts with a visit to the Jimbaran fish market where you learn about different fishes and buy some to cook later on, we visited a vegetables market as well. And went to the workshop in this beautiful location, The Amala, the chef was very knowledgeable about Balinese food and was happy to answer all of our questions, a great experience that I can totally recommend!

We had a wonderful cooking experience with Chef Putu at The Amala. We chose Menu 1 and learned to prepare the basa gede, lawar salad, tum ikan and dadar gulung. Chef carefully explained the ingredients and how to prepare each dish. He also offered suggestions for ingredients that may be hard to find back home. Everything was so frivolous and we ate to our heart’s content. Highly recommend the Balinese Cooking Class with Chef Putu!

We had such a great time doing the cooking class and market tour. The team was great and the food was delicious. There was plenty of small touches that went such a long way and made the experience even better.
Lachlan_C, May 2022
Such a fun experience going to the markets to get the produce to use in the cooking class. The whole Amala team were amazing, very friendly and professional.
Had a great day and the food was amazing.
Highly recommend this experience.

Very enjoyable cooking class with chef Putu, me and my friend opted for Menu 2 which was just delicious and there was no shortage of food. Went to the market in the morning to get fresh ingredients for our meals and then returned to the Amala where the cooking class was held. All staff were so friendly and attentive. Cooking class was very enjoyable and learned alot. Round trip transfer to our hotel was included too which was great. We also got a personalised certificate and got to keep the apron, a lovely touch.

I absolutely loved this cooking class. The setting was gorgeous, food was amazing and plentiful and our chef was fantastic. We also went to the fish and fruit/veg market before the class which was quite an experience! I would highly recommend this Balinese cooking class
Julia_J, Jul 2019
This class was a great opportunity to cook authentic Balinese food under the guidance of a professional chef. Christ was very friendly and was a great conversationalist. We chose to add on the fish market visit with the class, and it was great to see how they do it in Bali. We also bought some herbs from the market nearby and it was interesting to see the different kinds of produce they have compared to what we're used to in Australia.
At the hotel, we got to each have a turn at cutting up the ingredients and cooking them. We chose menu 2 and it was very tasty! At the end of the class, we got to keep our aprons and got a personalised certificate to show our completion of the class.

This was a great tour and experience. We did go with the chef to the local market and this I thought should be a must by all, but was provided as an option. It was nice for the chef to point out what was good and what was bad. He taught us how to pick the freshest Red Snapper the redder the eyes the better and one other secret. It was nice to see the real parts of the country and where your meal comes from. I will mention we were staying where most are in Nusa Dua south of South Kuta and it cost us 250,000 more Rupiah to get here. So that is one reason I cannot give this the full 5 stars. I say this because this wasn't brought up when we initially booked but only a day before the tour was to happen. Not good communication on this ... just be up front with the charges ... most will still pay, but don't be shady about it. I thought the chef was really good about explaining all the ingredients we were using and very detailed in how to prepare it. I was nice he had the recipe to follow along with. Something else that was nice ... I actually don't like Curry and he used ingredients that didn't include this and made the food authentic and delicious. We were given many opportunities to participate and be involved in the creation of the dishes. The staff were exceptional in helping us as well as the chef deliver a great experience and delicious food. They were also instrumental in preparing an elegant dining area to eat our finally prepared dishes. We were all very full and happy by the end.
In the end it was great to receive our cooking aprons as roots, spices and ingredients we cooked with as well as a certificate we completed the class.
Thanks again.

I booked this for my dad and he absolutely loved it! He was the only customer and he was so thrilled by the whole experience!

Chef Wayan was fabulous. The trip to the market was very educational and gave you a good local feel. The chef took our allergy issues into account and we had the most wonderful class and meal. We have had cooking classes around the world and this rates as one of the best.
