Green Kitchen Bali

Es war ein tolles Erlebnis, leckere Gerichte kochen zu lernen. Wir haben alle mitgemacht und das Team hat für richtig viel Spaß gesorgt. Kann ich absolut empfehlen.

Es war ein sehr schöner Tag den wir inmitten der Natur verbringen durften. Reinungsloser Verlauf. Wir wurden direkt vom Hotel morgens abgeholt, dann zum Markt, dann zum Ort der Kochschule. Sehr sehr freundliche Betreuung. Gute Erklärung der Zubereitung mit Hintergründen zur Tradition.

Man hat nicht oft die Gelegenheit, einen Kochkurs zu besuchen, der auf Kochtechniken aus dem Jahr 1920 basiert. Alles wird über offenem Feuer zubereitet, Zutaten werden in einem großen Stein mit einem Holzscheit vermischt und alles wird probiert, während man Zutaten hinzufügt. Es war ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis, sogar für meine Freundin, die noch nie einen Kochkurs besucht hat!

Die Tour hat sich gelohnt. Ein Highlight war unser sehr netter Fahrer, der uns zu einem authentischen balinesischen Großmarkt brachte. Dort konnten wir mit den Einheimischen ins Gespräch kommen und sehen, wie sie ihre Lebensmittel und Küchenutensilien einkaufen. Wir kauften ein paar Kleinigkeiten für zu Hause und sahen die wunderschönen Kräuter, Gewürze und sogar Tabak im Rohzustand – sehr interessant. Der Bauernhof, den wir anschließend besuchten, lag in einer tollen Gegend. Wir waren allerdings nicht ganz überzeugt, dass es sich, wie in der Werbung angegeben, um einen 100%igen Bio-Bauernhof handelte. Unser Guide erklärte uns während des Rundgangs, dass es nicht so sei, sondern etwa zur Hälfte konventionelle Produkte verwendet würden und daher auch Pestizide zum Einsatz kämen. Davon abgesehen, und da wir Wert auf echte Bio-Produkte legten, genossen wir den Tag sehr. Wir sahen die Mischkulturen und spazierten durch die schönen Felder. Bei der eigentlichen Hofführung und dem anschließenden Kochkurs waren uns allerdings zu viele Teilnehmer, da wir zu viele Touristen waren. Bei so vielen Leuten bekam man die Informationen während des Rundgangs oft nicht mit, es sei denn, man stand ganz vorne. Das Essen, das für das Festmahl zubereitet wurde, war wirklich köstlich und bot eine große Auswahl an vegetarischen und nicht-vegetarischen Gerichten. Wir haben tolle Kochtipps mit nach Hause genommen und den Tag und das Essen insgesamt sehr genossen.

Das gesamte Erlebnis war von Anfang bis Ende einfach fantastisch. Der Fahrer war sehr nett und brachte uns zum Markt, was wirklich interessant war; er hatte so viel Wissen. Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, mitzuerleben, wie Obst und Gemüse direkt vor unseren Augen frisch gepflückt wurden. Alle waren so freundlich und hilfsbereit, und das Essen war unglaublich lecker – so etwas hatte ich noch nie zuvor gegessen.

10/10, alles war perfekt! Die Markttour hat uns sehr gefallen, die Reisfeldbesichtigung war ein Riesenspaß und das Kochen mit den balinesischen Köchen war unser absolutes Highlight. Das Essen war fantastisch und superfrisch. Wir können diesen Kochkurs jedem Bali-Besucher wärmstens empfehlen!

Wir hatten ein tolles Erlebnis: Wir besuchten einen lokalen Markt und einen Bauernhof, lernten verschiedene Zutaten kennen und kochten regionale Gerichte auf Holzfeuerstellen. Ein paar andere Gruppen schlossen sich uns an, und wir hatten viel Spaß beim gemeinsamen Kochen. Ich hätte mir nur gewünscht, mehr in den Kochprozess eingebunden zu sein. Wir bekamen viel Hilfe beim Braten und Kochen, was wahrscheinlich am effektivsten war, aber am Ende hatte ich nicht das Gefühl, alle Tricks und Kniffe der Gerichte wirklich gelernt zu haben. Wir haben ein Rezeptheft bekommen und werden die Gerichte zu Hause ausprobieren.

It was a good day.

"We recently attended the cooking class and had an amazing experience. Not only did we learn a lot, but the food we prepared was absolutely delicious. The instructor's expertise and guidance made the class both informative and enjoyable. Highly recommended!"

Lovely place with a good organic farm and really good vegetables. The chef is a Balinese authentic guru! Always available for additional explanation. The best vegetarian cooking class in Bali!

Van begin tot het eind fantastisch. De markt is erg leuk, de open keuken met uitzicht over de heuvels en de rijstvelden onbeschrijflijk. Goede uitleg van het koken, er wordt netjes en hygiënisch gewerkt. De familie is erg aardig en na het koken heerlijk gegeten. Een aanrader!

The people here are very nice and we learned a lot about the Balinese kitchen. We can just recommend it.

A great cooking class set amongst rural Indonesian rice fields. All food came from their own vegetable garden. Everything we cooked was delicious and wholesome.

We had an amazing day shown round all the rice fields the class was set in the most perfect setting imaginable, we would highly recommend this cooking class to everyone ! Thank you for a fantastic day.

This was such an amazing experience, my whole family loved it and I am so glad we did it. From the market, walking through a beautiful rice field, to the fantastic cooking class and of course the eating. Thanks for letting us be part of this.

Best experience by far in Bali! Authentic cooking experience, great company and fantastic food!

A very delightful experience delivered by a clever and honest team of people. Guests were delightful too! Oh, and the food - yes - delicious. The location - fascinating. The tuition- hands on and interesting. The price - very, very reasonable. Access - well organised taxi.

Very nice people, perfect organisation,clean toilet,clean kitchen,delicious food and tea and coffe,wonderfull fields and nature

We had a great day! Visited the the market where the local people shop then to Geralds home for the class. Walked through the Organic Farm and picked produce needed for our lunch. We all chopped, cooked and learnt how to make some amazing dishes. Thank you Gerald and your family . From Maryanne and Michelle

Beautiful day out at the market and farming sites before a fun cooking session that was filling and delicious. You certainly wont go home hungry. 😊 Lost a point as when we enquired about the roosters on site we were told they were for cockfighting. Not okay.

This cooking class was really good. At first, we just like the thought that they are organic and everything we make is organic. Furthermore, the host was really sweet and welcoming and wanted to tell us about everything we asked. And a giant plus was that the food tasted AMAZING. It was probably the best Balinese food we have tasted on our whole trip.

Everything was absolutely amazing.

What an inspirational cooking class. Got picked up in Ubud and transported to Sideman village. Went to a huge local market on the way, picked vegetables from their village farm and then helped cook a vast array of traditional dishes. The food was delicious and we were given a recipe guide to take home with us.

We loved the class, fun educational and delicious.

Great, authentic class in a stunning location!

We had a great day. Really enjoyed it - learnt a few things & cooked some amazingly fresh & gorgeous dishes. Would highly recommend.

Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to see the real Bali and get their hands dirty! The markets were fascinating and our guide explained everything to us. We loved walking through the fields to the kitchen and picking ingredients for the food we would make. And the vegetarian dishes we made were so delicious. We learnt so much and really enjoyed ourselves! This was such great value because the pick up and drop off were all included in the price so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. Thank you so much!

This day was mind blowing and such a learning experience. The market was fascinating and our teacher explained so many things to us and we absolutely loved walking through the fields of Sidemen to the kitchen. Loved learning the vegetarian dishes and will definitely be trying these at home. This was such good value too because the pick up and drop off transfers were all included so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. This is definitely something for anyone who wants to experience the real Bali and get their hands dirty. Would definitely recommend!

We didn’t end up going to local market, rice paddy & organic farm tour. But the experience was quite unique and fun nevertheless.

The market tour was very authentic with some tastings along the way. We then drove to the rice and veggie fields where we harvested a few ingredients. The cooking itself took about 1.5 hours and we were involved in a lot of different stepz along the way but also got some support from the cooks at that place. The surrounding mountain panorama and traditional style kitchen were definitely the cherries on the whole cooking-class-tart :) Thanks a lot. Robert

We had an amazing time in the cooking class. They were all so gracious, funny and welcoming. Complicated process yet the chef was so compassionate to share his knowledge and experience in making very delicate dish, an authentic Balinese food. Along with my friends, we enjoyed making the spice paste. Learned a lot of techniques in cooking and added more style that I would definitely incorporate and adopt cooking at home. Overall, the Ubud culture is great! Lovely people and most especially the food is delicious. Our visit was totally worth it!

What a great day, toured a local market - returned to the farm to prepare a traditional feast with the help of the guide and his family. Amazing food and a experience to see how locals live and eat in Bali.

The experience was great in a beautiful setting. It is fairly hands on and the food produced is out of this world, super fresh and plenty. I would recommend for someone wanting to learn some basic dishes which can be easily copied for meat eaters as well.

This cooking class was brillaint. The staff were super friendly and the food was absolutely delicious (vegetarian option). I would highly recommend this to any family member or friend. Thanks again!

The course is very complete, each steps is very well explained, the surrounding is calming and beautiful and the teaching is very enriching. The hardest part is to leave after the class.

I came here with my best friend. We had a very good time here. It was an unbelievably delightful welcome from the chef and his family. It was amazing that we get to know more about Balinese culture, cooked and ate various Balinese food.

My husband and I had a lovely day and real Balinese experience! We were picked up from the hotel following by a little tour around the fruit, spice and also the family rice field. I love how the kitchen itself looks so simple and traditional, people are so nice and the most important thing is that the meal we cook is incredibly delicious. This definitely is the highlight of our trip in Bali!!
