Kubu Terrace Jatiluwih Cooking Class

Such a fun experience! If you're looking to see the rice terraces but you're not interested in all the gimmiky tourist activities, this is a great way to do it! Karma and his family have really created an amazing experience to understand the local agriculture and cook amazing, authentic meals! 10/10 would recommend it to anyone!

Organic and Authentic Balinese Cooking Class With Cycling in Jatiluwih Rice Terrace was excellent value. The ride was casually informative & our guide spoke excellent English. We learnt a lot & loved being in the rice fields & at the end rode through the jungle where we met our cooking school instructor. Highly recommend the cooking class. Authentic Balinese experience, an honour to be taken into the family home & organic garden. We were introduced to the vegetables & all picked some. The class ran so smoothly with the help of all the family. We did hands on cooking & ended up with a sensational lunch & coffee up high overlooking the garden & distant rice fields. I will treasure my take home recipe book. Local businesses like this should be supported. We had a fantastic experience.

Die Wanderung war perfekt, die Aussicht atemberaubend und wir haben viel über die Natur und die Vorgänge auf den Reisfeldern gelernt. Das Essen, das wir zubereitet haben, war fantastisch. Meine wählerischen Kinder (8 und 11 Jahre) haben alles probiert! Sie waren total begeistert, nachdem sie das Essen selbst geerntet und zubereitet hatten. Made, Desi und ihre Familie waren sehr gastfreundlich und haben uns gerne ihre Kultur nähergebracht. Es hat uns super gefallen und wir können es nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Mein Partner und ich hatten einen fantastischen Tag in diesem Kochkurs. Es ist wirklich eine tolle Gelegenheit, gleich zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe zu schlagen: Man kann die Reisterrassen von Jatiluwih aus nächster Nähe sehen und gleichzeitig mehr über die indonesische Küche lernen. Wie schon andere erwähnt haben, ist die Familie sehr nett und alles ist super unkompliziert, inklusive Abholung und Rücktransport. Es war eines der Highlights unserer Reise und ich kann es jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der Bali auf authentische Weise erleben möchte.

Ein fantastischer, familiengeführter Kochkurs. Die Gelegenheit, die Reisterrassen von Jatiluwih zu besichtigen und gleichzeitig die indonesische Küche kennenzulernen, ist einfach großartig. Die Familie ist überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ich habe die familiäre Atmosphäre und den persönlichen Kontakt zur Familie sehr genossen. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis! Es ging um so viel mehr als nur Kochen: Man fährt durch Dörfer, spaziert durch Gärten und Reisterrassen und lernt jede Menge. Das Essen, das man zubereitet, ist frisch, gesund und köstlich. Die Gastgeber Made, seine Familie und Karma haben den Tag zu einem interessanten und landschaftlich atemberaubenden Erlebnis gemacht. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Dieses balinesische Kocherlebnis war definitiv eines der Highlights meiner Reise. Wir wurden so herzlich empfangen und erfuhren viel über die Kräuter und Gewürze, die in den umliegenden Dörfern und Reisterrassen wachsen. Dadurch fühlte ich mich der Kultur und dem Land sehr verbunden. Im Kurs kochten wir traditionelle balinesische Gerichte und genossen alles vor Ort. Das Essen war einfach köstlich, und wir bekamen sogar ein Kochbuch mit den Rezepten zum Mitnehmen – eine wirklich nette Geste. Was dieses Erlebnis noch besonderer machte, waren der Gastgeber und seine Helfer, von denen einige Familienmitglieder waren. Sie gehörten ehrlich gesagt zu den gastfreundlichsten Menschen, die ich während meiner Zeit auf Bali kennengelernt habe. Sie vermittelten uns nicht nur Kochtechniken, sondern auch wertvolle Einblicke in die balinesische Kultur, zum Beispiel, dass Reis ein Grundnahrungsmittel bei jeder Mahlzeit ist, dass Familien oft nur einmal täglich kochen und welche wichtige Rolle Warungs im Alltag spielen. Das war mehr als nur ein Kochkurs – es war ein wunderschönes kulturelles Erlebnis. Ein absolutes Muss bei einem Bali-Besuch! Ihr werdet nicht enttäuscht sein!

Wir wurden von unserem Hotel abgeholt und von Karma nach Jatiluwih gefahren. Er erzählte uns von der Gegend, durch die wir fuhren, und informierte uns über das bevorstehende Festival, das in wenigen Tagen stattfinden sollte, da alle Dörfer bereits dekorierten. Auf den Reisfeldern von Jatiluwih, die zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehören, wurden wir von Made begrüßt. Wir unternahmen einen gemütlichen Spaziergang zu seinem Bio-Reis- und Gemüsehof, während er uns verschiedene Bäume zeigte und uns das Subak-System erklärte, an dem die Bauern teilnehmen. Auf der Kuba-Terrasse angekommen, schlüpfte er in die Rolle des Kochs, und wir sammelten auf seinem Hof Zutaten für unsere Gerichte. In der Hauptküche waren seine Frau und seine Helfer mit Reiben und Schneiden beschäftigt, und wir taten dasselbe in der Werkstattküche. Insgesamt bereiteten wir zwei Vorspeisen, einige wichtige Saucen wie Bumbu Bali und Satay-Sauce, vier oder fünf Hauptgerichte und zum Nachtisch gebratene Bananen und Kaffee zu. Made und seine Frau waren hervorragende Gastgeber, und unsere Mahlzeiten waren köstlich – und wir sind zuversichtlich, sie auch zu Hause nachkochen zu können. Dies ist wärmstens zu empfehlen für alle, die ein authentisches Erlebnis von Essen, Kultur und atemberaubender Landschaft suchen.

Made und seine Familie sind großartige Gastgeber. Nach einem Spaziergang durch die zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehörenden Reisterrassen ernteten wir Gemüse und Kräuter aus dem Garten und kochten anschließend sieben Gerichte zum Mittagessen – köstlich!

Ich kann dieses Kocherlebnis wärmstens empfehlen. Pünktlich wurden wir von unserer Unterkunft abgeholt und fuhren komfortabel in einem klimatisierten Fahrzeug zum Startpunkt unserer persönlichen geführten Wanderung durch die Reisfelder zu unserem Ziel, dem Kochkurs. Die Wanderung war für die meisten Fitnesslevel geeignet und bot zahlreiche Gelegenheiten, die atemberaubende Landschaft zu genießen. Auf dem Bio-Bauernhof mit angeschlossener Küche angekommen, führte uns unser Gastgeber durch den Garten, wo wir Kräuter und Gemüse für unser Menü selbst auswählten. In der Küche wurden wir fachkundig angeleitet, ein dreigängiges Menü mit köstlichen Aromen und Texturen zuzubereiten. Dieses Erlebnis war ein absolutes Highlight unserer Bali-Reise.

Wunderschöne Lage, herzliche Gastgeber und es war so schön, in ihr Haus eingeladen zu werden.

Wir wurden am Hoptel abgeholt und verbrachten einen wunderschönen Tag mit einer Radtour durch die Reisfelder mit Arie. Anschließend lernten wir, traditionelle indonesische Gerichte zuzubereiten. Zuerst sammelt man die meisten Zutaten selbst im Garten, sodass man sicher sein kann, dass sie superfrisch sind – nur das Fleisch haben wir nicht selbst geerntet. Nach dem Kochen genießt man die Gerichte in einer traumhaften Umgebung mit authentischen Aromen. Wir haben auch Saté auf dem Grill zubereitet, das fantastisch geschmeckt hat. Zum Abschluss gab es gebratene Bananen als Dessert. Anschließend wurden wir mit einem Rezeptbuch zurück ins Hotel gebracht, damit wir die Gerichte auch zu Hause nachkochen konnten. Unsere Gastgeber Made und seine Frau waren wunderbar und die besten Gastgeber, die man sich wünschen kann. Wir können dieses Erlebnis jedem auf Bali wärmstens empfehlen.

Ein unglaubliches Erlebnis!!! Made empfing uns oben auf den Terrassen, und wir wanderten hinunter zu seinem Elternhaus. Unterwegs erfuhren wir viel über ihre Anbaumethoden, wie und wann sie ernten, wie sie Schädlinge abwehren und das Beste aus ihren Produkten herausholen. Auf der Kubu-Terrasse luden uns Made und seine liebenswerte Frau Debbie zu einem authentischen indonesischen Kochkurs ein. Sechs Gänge, alle selbst zubereitet! Wir sammelten Kräuter, Gemüse und Früchte aus ihrem Garten und zauberten unter ihrer fachkundigen Anleitung köstliche Gerichte. Die Aromen waren intensiv und einfach himmlisch. Ich kann dieses Erlebnis wärmstens empfehlen. Eine wunderbare Kombination aus generationsübergreifendem Wissen, Tradition und Kultur. Das sollten Sie sich nicht entgehen lassen!

Die Abholung vom Hotel erfolgte pünktlich, und wir wurden zu einem atemberaubenden, zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehörenden Bio-Reisfeld gebracht. Die Landschaft war einfach traumhaft. Der Kochkurs begann mit der Ernte unseres eigenen Bio-Gemüses, und anschließend lernten wir, sieben verschiedene traditionelle balinesische Gerichte zuzubereiten – alles ganz praktisch. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die Herstellung von Kokosmilch aus frisch geraspelter Kokosnuss. Der Geschmack war pur, vollmundig und ganz anders als die verarbeiteten Aromen, die man oft in Restaurants findet – einfach köstlich und wohltuend. Unser Gastgeber unterhielt uns schon während der Fahrt und auch im Kurs selbst, indem er uns nicht nur unterrichtete, sondern sogar traditionelle Xylophonmusik spielte. Ich würde sehr gerne wieder teilnehmen, wenn ich das nächste Mal auf Bali bin.

Tolle Leute, traumhafte Lage und ein wirklich aufrichtiges Bemühen, uns ein unvergessliches Erlebnis zu bieten. Wir haben es sehr genossen.

Ein fantastisches Erlebnis in wunderschöner Umgebung. Made und sein Team sind sehr professionell und gleichzeitig unterhaltsam. Die Rezepte sind sehr verständlich und köstlich. Zögern Sie nicht, gehen Sie hin und genießen Sie es!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Tag mit Made (Mahday) und seiner Familie – die Reisterrassen von Jatilwah sind wirklich atemberaubend. Wir durften selbst aussuchen, was wir kochen, und veranstalteten einen kleinen Kochwettbewerb zwischen den Familienmitgliedern. Anschließend aßen wir alle gemeinsam. Wir fühlten uns wie vollwertige Familienmitglieder und es war ein wirklich außergewöhnlicher, lebensbejahender Tag – vielen Dank, Made! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ich kann es zu 100 % empfehlen. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis mit einer unglaublich großzügigen Familie.

Das Festival fand in einer wunderschönen Landschaft statt und das Essen war hervorragend. Wir haben es sehr genossen.

Der Tag mit Cooklys authentischem Bio-Kochkurs für balinesische Küche und der anschließenden Wanderung durch die Reisterrassen von Jatiluwih war einfach traumhaft. Die Buchung über Cookly war unkompliziert und die Kommunikation per WhatsApp und E-Mail verlief schnell und effizient. Die Tour und der Kochkurs wurden von Made Senang, dem Inhaber von Kubo Terrace Cooking Class, und seinem Bruder geleitet. Sein Bruder holte mich sogar um 7:15 Uhr morgens am Hotel ab. Die Fahrt zu den Reisterrassen von Jatiluwih dauerte fast zwei Stunden (der Verkehr auf Bali ist extrem dicht). Dort angekommen, traf ich Made, der mir auf dem Weg zu seinem Betrieb, der sich inmitten der Reisterrassen befindet, eine Führung gab. Er erklärte mir, dass die Reisterrassen zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehören und das Land seit Generationen im Besitz derselben Familien ist, so auch seiner eigenen. Ich erfuhr auch etwas über den Anbau, die Ernte und das Trocknen von rotem Reis, was gerade stattfand – ein wirklich faszinierender Anblick. Die Reisterrassen und die intensive Bewirtschaftung der gesamten Gegend sind unglaublich schön. Jeder Quadratmeter Boden wird genutzt: Das Gras auf den Wegen zwischen den Reisfeldern wird gemäht und als Viehfutter verwendet. Bananenstauden, Kokospalmen und andere Obstbäume wachsen am Wegesrand und auf den Parzellen der einzelnen Besitzer. Der Kochkurs auf den Reisterrassen von Kubo ist genauso beeindruckend wie die Terrassen selbst. Made und sein Bruder sind mit Herz und Seele dem Land, den Lebensmitteln, die es hervorbringt, und dem Leben im Einklang mit der Natur verbunden. Wie Made im Laufe des Tages mehrmals betonte, wächst alles, was sie zum Leben brauchen, hier auf dem Land. Bevor wir mit dem Kochen begannen, erklärte Made uns das Menü und die Zutaten, damit wir genau wussten, was uns im Kurs erwarten würde. Dann überraschte er uns mit der Ankündigung, dass wir das gesamte Gemüse und die Kräuter für die Rezepte in seinem Garten auf dem Bauernhof selbst pflücken würden. Dazu gehörten Moringa, Sellerie, Gurken, Tomaten, Limetten, Kohl, Spinat, grüne Bohnen, Kokosnüsse und Lorbeerblätter. Fantastisch! Sobald wir alle Zutaten beisammen hatten, legten wir los. Made und sein Bruder erklärten uns jeden einzelnen Schritt der Zubereitung, zum Beispiel, warum die Gewürze zu einem Brei gemahlen und vor der Verwendung erhitzt werden. Durch das Mahlen wird das volle Aroma der Gewürze freigesetzt, und das Erhitzen verstärkt es zusätzlich. Wir lernten auch die Gewürzmischung Bumbu Bali kennen, die in fast jeder balinesischen Mahlzeit enthalten ist. Auf unserem Menü standen Moringa-/Kelor-Suppe, gemischtes Gemüse, Hühnersatay, balinesisches Hühnercurry, Hühnerknödel, die Zubereitung der Knödel in Bananenblättern, die Herstellung von Erdnusssauce und zum Nachtisch frittierte Bananen. Anschließend genossen wir unser Mittagessen mit dem Panoramablick auf die Reisfelder. Der Tag war ein wunderbares Erlebnis, sowohl was den Anblick der Reisfelder als auch das Kennenlernen der lokalen Küche und deren Zubereitung anging. Ich hoffe, Sie haben die Gelegenheit, an dieser Tour teilzunehmen und sie genauso zu genießen wie ich.

Authentisches balinesisches Kocherlebnis – ein absolutes Highlight unserer Reise! Dieser familiengeführte Bio-Bauernhof mit Kochschule bietet ein fantastisches Erlebnis. Alles ist selbst angebaut – sogar das Reismehl! Freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen und die bequeme Abholung sorgten für einen rundum gelungenen Tag. Sehr empfehlenswert! Liebe Grüße, Cindy, Joe, Amanda & Craig

Das Kochen im Kubu Terrace war ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis! Super authentisch, mitten in den Reisfeldern eines Familienbetriebs gelegen. Alle waren sehr freundlich und professionell. Das Essen war sehr frisch und authentisch. Ich kann es jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der ein echtes balinesisches Kocherlebnis sucht.

Ein gut organisierter Kochkurs, ein freundlicher Fahrer und eine traumhafte Lage inmitten der Reisfelder. Unterwegs wurden frisches Gemüse geerntet. Ein besonderes Highlight war die interessante Gartenführung – faszinierend zu sehen, woher die Zutaten stammen.

Zuerst haben wir eine Radtour durch die Reisfelder gemacht, die wirklich toll war. Anschließend hatten wir einen perfekten Kochkurs mit einem freundlichen Experten der balinesischen Küche! Vielen Dank an Amed, seine Frau und Catma.

Authentisch, tolle Lage und genau die richtige Größe.

Wir haben uns spontan für einen authentischen balinesischen Bio-Kochkurs mit anschließender Radtour durch die Reisterrassen von Jatiluwih entschieden. Es war ein absolut fantastisches Erlebnis! Die Radtour durch die UNESCO-Reisfelder hinunter zur wunderbaren Kochschule, die von Made und Devi geleitet wurde, war einfach großartig. Das Essen war hervorragend, ebenso wie der Unterricht. Mades Familie war sehr sympathisch. Tun Sie sich selbst einen Gefallen und buchen Sie dieses Erlebnis! Sie werden es nicht bereuen.

Wir hatten ein absolut fantastisches Erlebnis mit einem authentischen balinesischen Kochkurs, kombiniert mit einer atemberaubenden Radtour durch die Reisterrassen von Jatiluwih, einem UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Der Tag begann mit einer einstündigen Radtour durch die beeindruckenden Reisterrassen – ein unvergesslicher Anblick mit so viel zu entdecken. Nach unserer Radtour erreichten wir die Kubu Terrace Cooking School, wo wir lernten, eine Vielzahl köstlicher balinesischer Gerichte zuzubereiten. Wir begannen mit Bumbu Bali, der unverzichtbaren Gewürzbasis für alle folgenden Rezepte. Von Moronga-Suppe über aromatisches Bali Satay, zubereitet auf einem traditionellen balinesischen Grill, bis hin zu einem köstlichen Dessert – jedes Gericht war ein Genuss. Wir pflückten sogar frische Zutaten direkt vom Bauernhof, bevor wir sie in die Küche brachten. Dies war wirklich ein unglaubliches Erlebnis, das wir jedem Bali-Besucher wärmstens empfehlen können!

Es war ein fantastisches Erlebnis von Anfang bis Ende. Schon der Weg zur Terrasse, wo der Kochkurs stattfand, führte durch wunderschöne Reisfelder und bot atemberaubende Ausblicke. Der Kochkurs selbst war sehr praxisnah und hat viel Spaß gemacht. Zuerst stellte mir der Kursleiter lokale Kräuter und Gemüse vor, die wir auf dem Bio-Bauernhof ernteten und zum Kochen verwendeten. Er zeigte mir auch, wie man Reis traditionell kocht und wie man Kaffee aus den Bohnen des Kaffeebaums herstellt. Ich hatte die Gelegenheit, zehn verschiedene Gerichte zuzubereiten, inklusive der jeweiligen Basis, Saucen und Sambal. Alle Gerichte waren einfach zuzubereiten und schmeckten köstlich. Das Drei-Gänge-Menü auf der Terrasse mit dem traumhaften Ausblick war ein Genuss. Ich kann diesen Kochkurs jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der nicht nur balinesische Gerichte kochen, sondern auch die Natur und die ländliche Kultur der Region entdecken und ein wirklich unvergessliches Erlebnis haben möchte.

Ich habe jeden einzelnen Teil der Reise genossen. Vom Abholen vom Hotel über den Fahrer, der sich vorsichtig durch den chaotischen Verkehr manövrierte, bis hin zu den atemberaubenden Ausblicken auf die Reisterrassen von Jatiluwih und unserem privaten Aussichtspunkt auf die Felder am Kochplatz. Made war unglaublich nett, zuvorkommend und hat den Kochkurs sehr gründlich gestaltet. Ich kann die Reise wärmstens empfehlen!

Das war ein fantastisches Erlebnis, das ich jedem wärmstens empfehlen kann! Alles war so einfach: Wir mussten nur buchen und unsere Hoteldaten angeben, und schon wurden wir pünktlich abgeholt und zu den Reisterrassen gebracht. Ein Fahrer war in den belebten Straßen Balis Gold wert! Wir fuhren mit dem Fahrrad durch die Terrassen und genossen atemberaubende Ausblicke, die man nirgendwo sonst findet. Unser Guide Ari beantwortete all unsere Fragen und erzählte uns viele interessante Geschichten. Beim Kochkurs angekommen, wurden wir mit einem köstlichen Begrüßungsgetränk empfangen! Das Gemüsepflücken in Happys Garten und all die Gerichte, die wir zubereiteten, waren unvergesslich. Wir werden noch lange an dieses Erlebnis zurückdenken!

Definitiv eine unserer Lieblingsaktivitäten auf Bali! Made und seine Familie/sein Team haben uns gezeigt, wie man ein balinesisches Menü zubereitet. Der Tag beinhaltete nicht nur köstliches Essen und spannendes Kochen, sondern auch das Ernten von Gemüse in ihrem Garten und eine schöne Tour durch die Reisfelder. Wir wohnten in Ubud und waren uns nicht sicher, ob sich die lange Fahrt in den Norden für einen Kochkurs lohnt, aber es hat sich absolut gelohnt! :) Wir können diesen Kurs wärmstens empfehlen. Lernt tolle Rezepte und Made und sein nettes Team kennen! :) Vielen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Erlebnis!

Wir hatten gestern einen fantastischen Tag beim Kochkurs in Jatiluwi. Die Familie ist so herzlich und erzählt uns viel über die Geschichte der traditionellen balinesischen Küche. Man kann sein eigenes Gemüse und Gewürze im Garten pflücken und dabei den Blick über die Reisfelder schweifen lassen. Wir können diesen Tag nur wärmstens empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder.

Wir hatten ein fantastisches Erlebnis mit Herrn Seneng, angefangen mit einer tollen Radtour durch die wunderschönen Reisterrassen von Jatiluwih, die uns sogar noch besser gefielen als die in Ubud. Die Radtour ging größtenteils bergab und war total entspannt. Der Kochkurs war fantastisch, mit so vielen verschiedenen Gerichten, und wir durften unser eigenes Gemüse aus dem Garten ernten. Das Essen war köstlich, und wir fanden es toll, dass das Geld den lokalen Bauern zugutekommt. Wir alle waren uns einig, dass es das beste Erlebnis unserer Reise war. Wir können diesen Kurs wärmstens empfehlen!

Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Erlebnis! Die Gerichte, die wir zubereitet haben, waren frisch und köstlich – mit Abstand der leckerste Kochkurs, den ich je besucht habe! Ein Spaß für Groß und Klein, die Kinder waren begeistert! Vielen Dank an Made und ihre Familie!

Made (Happy) spricht hervorragend Englisch und ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Landschaft ist atemberaubend, und es war ein tolles Erlebnis, das Gemüse aus seinem Garten zu pflücken und damit zu kochen. Die Autofahrt zu ihm war wunderschön, da wir uns die ganze Zeit unterhalten haben. Ich habe viel über ihre Kultur und ihren Lebensstil gelernt und unterwegs die herrliche Landschaft und die Reisfelder bewundert. Wenn ihr einen Kochkurs machen wollt, kann ich diesen hier wärmstens empfehlen – er war das Highlight unserer Reise! Wir haben uns in Australien Zutaten gekauft, um die Gerichte nachzukochen. Vielen Dank an Made und seine Familie, dass sie unsere große Gruppe von acht Personen so herzlich aufgenommen haben!

Es war ohne Zweifel das beste Erlebnis auf Bali! Zuerst unternahmen wir einen wunderschönen Spaziergang durch die Reisfelder von Jatiluwih am frühen Morgen – angenehm kühl und menschenleer. Made erzählte uns dabei interessante Fakten über die Umwelt und den Reisanbau. Anschließend erreichten wir die Kubu Terrace, wo der Kochkurs begann. Wir ernteten selbst einige der Zutaten für unser Menü. Die Küche bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die Reisfelder von Made und seiner Familie. Das Essen ist köstlich und von außergewöhnlicher Qualität, viel besser als das, was man sonst so bekommt. Da man selbst kocht, kann man die Schärfe selbst bestimmen. Tagsüber erfahren wir viel Wissenswertes über das Kochen, die Umwelt und unser Leben – sehr unterhaltsam und interessant. Ich finde, es ist ein unverzichtbares und authentisches Erlebnis, fernab der typischen Touristenpfade.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare und genussvolle Zeit bei unserem Kochkurs auf der Kubu-Terrasse. Besonders gut gefiel uns, dass alles inklusive Abhol- und Bringservice war. Der Kursort liegt wunderschön in der Region Jatiluwith und ist nach einer Wanderung durch die herrlichen Sawahs zu erreichen. Der Kochkurs findet in kleinem Rahmen statt und wird von Made Happy, einer Familie und Freunden, organisiert. Man bekommt viel persönliche Betreuung. Wir begannen damit, die meisten Zutaten für ein herzhaftes „Bumbu Bali“ aus dem biologisch bewirtschafteten Garten zu pflücken und zu schneiden. Das vermittelte uns ein gutes Gefühl für die Vielfalt und den Reichtum des balinesischen Gemüses. Nach dem Drei-Gänge-Menü genossen wir zum Abschluss einen köstlichen, selbst angebauten balinesischen Kaffee. Wir werden die gelernten Gerichte auf jeden Fall zu Hause (in den Niederlanden) für unsere Freunde zubereiten.

Wir waren absolut begeistert von dem Tag, der mit einer frühen Abholung begann. Karma beantwortete all unsere Fragen als Touristen, während er uns gekonnt anderthalb Stunden zu unserem Ziel fuhr. Die Landschaft war atemberaubend, und wir wanderten durch wunderschöne, zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehörende Reisterrassen zu unserem Ziel. Der Familienbetrieb wirkte persönlich und authentisch. Wir pflückten frisches Gemüse aus dem Garten und genossen anschließend die Einführung in die Zubereitung der Bumbu Bali-Basis. Jeder Schritt der Zubereitung wurde überwacht, und wir konnten von unserer liebenswerten Gastgeberin Debi lernen – wir danken ihr und ihrer Familie herzlich für den herzlichen Empfang und dafür, dass sie uns an ihrem Zuhause und ihren Geschichten teilhaben ließen. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Der Weg zum Kochkurs war atemberaubend. Wunderschöne Reisterrassen führten durch die malerische Landschaft. Das Sammeln der Zutaten war interessant und hat Spaß gemacht. Der Kochkurs selbst war einfach fantastisch! Alle halfen beim Gemüseschneiden und Kochen mit. Das Ergebnis war ein köstliches und sehr schmackhaftes Essen. Wir können dieses Kocherlebnis nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Wir haben diesen Kochkurs sehr genossen. Er fand in einer traumhaften Umgebung inmitten der Reisterrassen statt. Alle waren sehr herzlich und wir lernten Schritt für Schritt, wie man balinesische Gerichte zubereitet – vom Anbau bis zum fertigen Gericht. Das Essen war köstlich und wir haben mehrere Gerichte gekocht. Wir gingen satt und zufrieden nach Hause.

Ein großartiges Erlebnis! Höhepunkt war ein entspannter Spaziergang durch die atemberaubenden Reisterrassen, direkt auf einem echten Bauernhof inmitten dieses Reisterrassengebiets. Wir tauchten ein in das Leben und die Kultur einer Familie, die über drei Generationen lebte. Unsere Gastgeber, ein Ehepaar, das uns als Reiseleiter begleitete und von den Eltern unterstützt wurde, teilten ihre Erfahrungen mit uns. Wir durften einige wichtige Zutaten auf dem kleinen Bauernhof selbst pflücken und erhielten dazu nette Erklärungen sowie Informationen über das Leben auf dem Bauernhof. Die Erklärungen auf Englisch waren gut verständlich und der Tag sehr schön. Von unserem Hotel in Denpasar aus fuhren wir gut eine Stunde und erkundeten kleine Dörfer und ländliche Gegenden, was das Erlebnis noch bereicherte. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Wir waren begeistert von der Mischung aus der Tour durch die Reisfelder, dem Gemüsepflücken im Garten und dem Kochkurs. Alle im Team waren so hilfsbereit und herzlich, wir hatten ein tolles Erlebnis.

Ein traumhafter und inspirierender Ort. Freundliche und begeisterte Lehrer. Wir haben viel gelernt und waren überwältigt von der Landschaft, den Düften und dem köstlichen Essen. Es war unser bisher schönster Tag auf Bali und wir können es nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Nach der Abfahrtsradtour, bei der wir die meisten Zutaten selbst geerntet hatten, lernten wir die Geheimnisse der balinesischen Küche kennen: BUMBU Bali. Einfach nur wunderbar!

Das war viel mehr als nur ein Kochkurs – es beinhaltete auch einen Einblick in die Geschichte, einen Spaziergang durch die Reisterrassen und Zeit auf Happys Anwesen, wo wir die Zutaten für die zubereiteten Gerichte aussuchten (und sie anschließend alle in ihrer frischesten Form probieren durften – Kurkuma, Ingwer und die balinesischen Wurzelgemüse und Blätter, die Bumbu und andere balinesische Gerichte ausmachen). Karma und Happy waren sehr herzlich und informativ. Das Essen war unglaublich lecker. Sie bieten außerdem einen Hoteltransfer in einem sehr großen Gebiet an. Es war toll für meinen vegetarischen Partner, endlich einen vegetarischen Saté-Spieß zu probieren. Köstlich! Vielen Dank!

Authentische balinesische Gerichte kochen und genießen mit Blick auf einen exotischen Bio-Garten, eingebettet in Reisfelder und Dschungel. Was will man mehr?! ❤️

From pickup to drop off, nothing was a problem. The pickup was on time, and the driver was comfortable with our driver 'Karma', more than happy to point out some sights and answer questions. On arrival, we were made to feel very welcome, and immediately we started on the walking tour through the rice terraces with plenty of information being provided on the way. Our cooking experience was equally entertaining and from picking the herbs and vegetables, through to the preparation and cooking, every step was explained and assistance given. It was lovely to see the family getting involved also. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and we thank Happy, Dewi, Karma, and family for giving us a glimpse into some more traditional processes.

Great host, delicious food, beautiful environment. Really special experience.

We had a wonderful time, from the moment we were picked up. After a short bike ride through picturesque rice fields, we arrived at the cooking school. We loved picking fresh organic ingredients and using them to cook a few dishes. We made so much food, that we couldn’t eat it all. We loved the whole experience and learned traditional Balinese cooking. We were given a recipe booklet to take home. We recommend this experience to everyone!

We had the opportunity to see amazing views while biking and had the most amazing experience with Made Happy and his wife, who helped us understand their culture through Balinese food. Many thanks for this unique moment. Plus, thanks for adding vegetarian options for me :)

I am so happy to have booked this class. The scenery, the people, and the food reminded me of the old Bali without the mega hotels, villas, and crowds. We started with an easy downhill cycle through pristine rice paddies. Walked in the rice fields and met some beautiful friendly locals keen to share their way of living. We got to the organic farm where we received a warm welcome from the whole family. I am an amateur organic farmer myself so I really enjoyed walking around and sharing tips on how to grow beautiful food without the need for chemical inputs. We picked the veggies we use to cook our meals and we started cooking up a storm. The views were amazing, the air was fresh and vibrant and everything was just awesome. Just go for it 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks ❤️

We had an incredible cooking class experience in Bali after a scenic walk through the rice fields. The class was absolutely delightful! We got to make eleven different dishes, and the hands-on approach allowed us to be fully involved in every step. The staff was exemplary, ensuring that we were picked up on time from our hostel in Canggu and safely dropped back. Everything was seamless and top-notch. Highly recommend!

We had the privilege of partaking in this wonderful Balinese cooking class combined with a captivating tour of Bali's rice terraces Jatiluwih. The course was exceptionally well-structured, and the team displayed immense kindness and hospitality throughout. Cooking proved to be an absolute delight, offering plenty of enjoyment. At the conclusion, we were treated to a sumptuous and delectable feast. An all-around remarkable experience! Our heartfelt thanks to the Kubu Terrace Cooking Class team! ❤

We absolutely loved our time at the cooking class, right from the drive to the countryside, walking through the UNESCO rice fields, picking the produce, cooking, and eating the food. It was so serene and peaceful, and every detail was very well thought out. We particularly liked how the cooking aspect was very hands-on, and cooking non-typical Balinese foods. None of it was too complex, but the flavors were amazing!

My favourite day in Bali was the one spent in Jatiluwih at Kubu Terrace with Made Happy and his family. From our early morning transfer from our villa to the cycle ride through the UNESCO protected rice terraces every moment was fun and informative. The ride was leisurely and downhill with some stops along the way to learn more about Bali’s farming and rice production. Upon arriving at Kubu Terrace (after some additional off-road cycling) we met his wife and were greeted by a flower garland of our names to celebrate our honeymoon. We cooked rice the old fashioned way and walked around the farm to pick the vegetables that would become our lunch. From here we cooked and ate an absolutely delicious feast of multiple dishes, most utilising the very important Bumbu Bali paste. I will definitely be making the peanut sauce at home. We were lucky enough to try their homegrown coffee alongside our pisang goreng (fried bananas) and cacao and jackfruit straight from the tree. There’s really nothing like it! Made Happy made the day with his enthusiasm, attitude and hospitality - and the wise admission that it is his beautiful wife who is the talented chef 😀 I highly recommend this when visiting Bali!

This cooking class has been the highlight of our trip to Bali. Karma picked us up from our accommodation and drove us to the rice terraces while sharing his knowledge about the Balinese culture. The walk through the rice terraces was just beautiful followed by picking our own veggies at the organic farm. We had so much fun cooking the delicious dishes and left with a warm heart & full tummy. I loved that it was possible to cook vegetarian dishes and that the family made sure I was comfortable because of my pregnancy. Can highly recommend booking this cooking class!

An adventure that gave you the true organic Bali experience that was warm, inviting and inclusive. This is the second time we have done this class, and wanted a friend who was travelling with us to experience the fun that we had previously. Would recommend to anyone

Such nice people from the start till the end. We had an amazing walk to the farm. The guide knows a lot. We harvest different kind of vegetalbles in the garden, So good! They make pictures, So you can do your job 😄. During cookingclass they explain everything and give help, only if you need. What a wonderful day with an amazing (Unesco) view. O, by the way, my husband got sick and was able to sleep in their house. The family is very hospitable. The day after they sent us the foto’s and asked again if my husband is feeling better. Please, visit them and enjoy a delicious meal, made by yourself.

Beautiful location, worth the drive from Seminyak. Lovely little cycle through untouched rice fields downhill to the cooling class location. We picked our own fresh ingredients from the garden which has been in the family for centuries. Cooking class was really well run with a small group and a really fun family atmosphere, food was also delicious! Highly recommended.

We had the best day with Madè and his family. They were incredibly hospitable, knowledgeable, and the food we prepared was nothing short of delicious! Our trip down the mountain through the rice paddies was stunning. Madè shared many stories about the land and his family, which made the experience even more authentic. We explored the organic garden and collected all of our herbs, spices and vegetables. Madè and his wife taught us how to cook a large selection of traditional Balinese dishes and desserts. The outdoor kitchen was beautiful and we enjoyed cooking and eating our meal in a stunningly intimate setting overlooking the rice fields and mountains. We highly recommend this cooking class and it was a highlight of our time in Bali.

This is the best activity that I’ve done in Bali. Cycling through the rice terrace was exciting a. The view was beautiful and the tour guide has good photographing skills. The owner and his wife are very friendly. It was so fun to pick up ingredients from his organic garden and cook Balinese dishes while learning their culture. Highly recommended to everyone!

What a splendid day we had! This was certainly the highlight of our Bali trip. We’ve been to many cooking classes, but this was definitely the best planned and thought through. If you’re looking for a holistic experience of hiking through a UNESCO rice terrace, and farm-to-table Balinese cooking experience (and eating it), this is it. And we guarantee you won’t ever forget Bumbu Bali! Thanks Made, Dewi, and Karma for the wonderful day out!

This family (and friend) business is well run and fun! From the initial communication, early morning pick up from our hotel, bike ride through the rice terraces, picking the produce to cook during the 9 part cooking class, Made and his family did not miss a beat. This full day experience is one not to be missed. However you choose to make it to Kubu Terrace, trek or bike, you will enjoy this cooking adventure.

This was the best cooking class that my fiancé and me have ever done, but it’s much more than just a cooking class really. Made, Karma, Made’s wife and mother-in-law made this a truly unforgettable experience and the highlight of our holiday in Bali. We were picked up at 07:30 by Karma from Seminyak and made the 1.5 hour drive to Jatiluwih. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and takes your breath away. We then began a short 2km wander through the rice terraces to meet Made and had lots of photos taken along the way. We went to Made’s home and the base for the cooking class, which takes place in a covered space with unbelievable views over Made’s property. We really can’t emphasise how beautiful the view is whilst you’re cooking and eating! Photos were also taken by Made and Karma throughout. We were given welcome drinks and then started picking vegetables and herbs from Made’s organic garden. We saw vanilla plants, a beehive and amazing chillies, amongst other things. We then started to cook. Over the course of the day, we made Bumbu Bali, which acted as the base for subsequent dishes, Moringa Soup and Sayar Urap. We enjoyed these as a starter. We went on to make Balinese chicken curry, two types of Satay with accompanying sauces, chicken dumplings and rice. The food was plentiful and delicious! Throughout the cooking, it was a very hands on experience, as we went through the recipe booklet and were able to prepare the food and cook it with Made. The kitchen was spotless the whole way through and there was clearly a lot of effort made to ensure that chopping boards, pans, plates and utensils remained clean. There was also a nearby sink and Made provided gloves to handle chicken, if we’d wanted them. We felt like we truly learnt how to make these dishes and also understood the ingredients going into each of them. The recipe book was given to us to take home as a souvenir. We finished by making friend bananas and enjoyed these with freshly made Balinese coffee, which is roasted on site. We were then driven home by Karma. The whole way through the day, we learnt about the history of the rice terraces and how Made’s property is his inheritance. Made explained what the property, and the cooking classes, means to the community there and we saw how much this means to them. We feel really privileged to have been able to attend this class and learnt a huge amount. Thank you so much to you all for this special day! It truly was the highlight of our time in Bali.

We were collected from our hotel after breakfast and driven in a very comfortable vehicle to the rice paddies. It was raining very heavily and we were supplied with anoraks before cycling to the farm. The cycle was extremely fun and guided at our pace. We were then shown round the farm and assisted to pick fresh vegetables, before starting the class. We learned how to cook about 7 dishes in total - all delicious! This was a family run operation, away from the hustle and bustle of tourist towns. Overall a very informative and different experience!

What an amazing day! My boyfriend and i ended our wonderful vacation with this amazing cooking class. :D We got a pick up at our hotel, our driver was very friendly. After we arrived in a beautiful town, we met Mate. A Wonderful guy, Who could tell us all about the area and the rice fields. We went on a 30 min hike to the location of the class. The view was unreal! The class itself was amazing as well. Authentic Balinese recipes, wich where simple to make but so delicious. We picked our own vegetables out of Mate's garden, wich was a very nice touch! All and all one of the highlights of our vacation. We did save the best for last! :)

An amazing experience with Made and his family. We were picked up from our hotel at the specified time and taken on a long drive to the picturesque Jatiluwih. Although the drive is long, the whole experience is so so worth it. Upon arrival, we went on a lovely bike ride - which was easy - and we were able to stop to take photos and our guide was fantastic. He talked us through any questions we had and was absolutely lovely. Once we had completed our cycle, we went back to Made’s farm, we were presented with a delicious lemongrass drink and then picked all of our fresh ingredients - all completely homegrown by Made and his family - and then we started to cook. Made and his wife were excellent and talked us through each dish we were making - we even got a menu to take home as a keepsake. We made lots of different traditional Balinese dishes that were all delicious. We started with the most important dish: Bumbu Bali, a staple for most Balinese dishes. We then progressed to make numerous delicious dishes such as: Fresh Moringa soup, Sayur Urab, Chicken curry, chicken dumplings, Satay Lilit and Skewers (cooked traditionally on the bbq), Sambal Matah, Traditional Peanut sauce, Steamed rice, and finally Pisang Goreng (Fried Bananas) - which were served with the most delicious palm sugar syrup - which Made told us the recipe for upon request!! At the beginning of the trip, Made showed us his own honeycomb that he had created by taking to the local jungle to populate with a Queen Bee and then brought back later - we said that we would love to try it, however Made said that the bees were very aggressive at the moment - despite this, at the end of the trip, he disappeared and then returned with a sample for us to try which was incredible; he really went the extra mile to make our experience the best that it could be. Although this trip may seem slightly expensive compared to others, and it can be quite a distance to travel if you are staying in popular tourist areas of Bali, I cannot recommend this experience more. Made and his family made the trip so easy for us and so worthwhile - it was truly a traditional experience and we learnt so much about Balinese cooking, traditions and their way of life. Please do take our advice and support Made’s dream to take this experience even further, as he divulged some amazing ideas to us on our trip with how he could expand this cultural experience to be even more amazing! A huge thank you to Made and all of his wonderful family for giving us such a once in a lifetime experience! Hal & Courtney x

All I can say is wow. You will not find a more authentic cooking class, starting with a short trek through the rice fields to the lovely Kubu Terrace! The family cannot be more welcoming, we used all the fresh ingredients grown right on sight! We absolutely loved it, do not book onto a commercial hotel cooking class, book here you honestly will not regret it. You even get your own cook book to take home so you can cook for the family. Thank you so much ♥️

This was an amazing experience. If you get the chance you won't be sorry.

We went to Made’s house after a short trek through the rice fields. Made and his family made us feel so welcomed. For a city dweller being able to pick our veges off his field and cooking with them is really interesting. And the food wow! Soo soo good. To think we cooked it. Haha Oh and they have a friendly dog miko.

Amazing experience, lovely hosts, beautiful view in an organic hands on cooking class. With lots of information about their culture too.

The whole experience was truly amazing! From getting picked up from your hotel by Kutut who was a lovely driver to being able to pick all of your own veggies that you are gonna pick on the farm. It’s a truly authentic experience and the view was amazing, not to mention the food!! 100% recommend

I had no regrets joining the cookly class in Kubu Terrace. It provided free transport, which could be costly if I were to engage my own driver into the UNESCO heritage site deep in the mountains of Bali. After landing at the drop-off point, there was a breezy trek and it seemed short because I was enjoying the greenery along the path. Upon arrival, I was welcomed by our teacher Mr Seneng (which means "Happy" in English). He was friendly and cheerful and that made the class enjoyable. He gave clear instructions, making the dishes easy to learn, even for a cooking novice like me. I went around his farm to pick my own cooking ingredients, had a lot of hands-on in preparing my own dishes, took a lot of photos and had a lot of laughter for the afternoon. I ate all the dishes I prepared and it was a sumptuous meal. Mr Seneng also prepared some spice packs for me to bring back to practise my cooking!

The staff was so friendly. The cooking class was in the most beautiful environment. I loved it.

Such an amazing day! This is a small, family run cooking school based at their farm in the rice terraces. The owner and his wife picked us up from Seminyak and drove us all the way to Jatiluwih. It was a long drive (2 hours) but beautiful scenery and worth it for the view and short walk through the rice terraces to their farm. (The walk is easy - down hill and partly shaded). The owner showed his his small organic veggie garden and we picked a few things to use in our cooking. We could watch the men and buffalo working below in the rice terraces. The wife took us for the cooking class and was so friendly and easy-going. The food was amazing and we were given a recipe book so we can try the recipes at home :) Highly recommend.

The cooking class was amazing! So nice and friendly people. Picked our own vegetables and cooked a lot of different Balinese food. It was really nice and we enjoyed it very much. We definitely would recommend it to everyone.

Nice walk, nice harvesting of vegetables, good fun cooking, excellent food and great hosts WHO made us feel very welcome. Can only recommend this cooking class!

Highly recommend this. Our guide and his wife picked us up from the hotel and took us on an amazing cooking adventure. The trek was easy and a lovely walk and the cooking was using fresh organic ingredients. It was all at a great pace with a fantastic local. Thanks.

My wife and I made this booking based on previous reviews and how right they were. The bike ride and cooking class all take place in UNESCO protected rice fields. To be able to cook and then eat (ofcourse) on the side of a small hill overlooking stepped rice pattys all owned by the operator and his wife was amazing. They were extremely friendly, professional and patient. We got to pick everything we used in the cooking from their own organic vegetables and the tour itself is all operated by one family so the money really goes to the locals. Highly recommended!

The cycling tour was great. Wonderful scenery and energetic enough to build up an appetite. We were made to feel very welcome at the farm. The ingredients we picked were all explained. We made 7 dishes with rice, and, of course, Bumbu Bali, the spicy base for everything. All food was fresh and tasty. There was plenty of food for us both. We definitely did not leave hungry. We highly recommend it his experience.

It was a fantastic experience. The short bike ride was fun and the people there were so nice! Cooking with Dewa was great, first we picked the ingredients in their own organic garden and then cooked a full menu. It was great that in the end I got a small booklet with the dishes and a few spices to be able to cook the dishes at home. I can really recommend this cooking class to anyone who would like to learn more about Balinese cuisine and who likes to be at the kitchen themselves! I had a lot of fun!

The whole experience was incredible! We began by trecking along the best rice terraces in Bali and then started the cooking class. All the ingredientes are top quality and you pick them up yourself from the private garden. The views are great and the food is amazing, and so is the cook and her family! Would really recommend this course to anyone looking to live a memborable and different experience in Bali.

We get a pick- up from seminyak with a very nice driver with excellent driving skills (the nephew of the owner). Because it was low season we had a private cooking class. It was really wonderfull! With a great start in the rice fields. The cooking class was great. Made and his wife are excellent chefs and there English is very good! The tell us everyting about the organic products, authentic cooking and recipees. The view and the garden full with vegetables is an extra bonus. We really recommand this class!

Sehr nette balinesische Kochklasse. Direkt in den Reisterrassen. Man macht einen Spaziergang (45 bis 60min) durch die Reisterrassen und dann gibt es ein Welcome-Drink. Im eigenen Garten werden die Zutaten für die Gerichte gesammelt. Die Zeit verfliegt und es ist immer etwas zu tun. Man sollte einen ganzen Tag (inkl. An- und Abreise) einplanen.

This was definately the best day of our holiday!! We were picked up just in time at our hotel, had a comfortable drive to absolutely beautiful ricefields without any other tourists. We walked about 45 minutes through the ricefields and than arrived at the house of our host. There the cooking class started. First we collected all the vegetables fresh from the garden. The teacher speaks very good English and we were lucky we were the only 2 in class. The cooking was fantastic and the taste of the dishes was excellent! You can take all recipies home and in the afternoon we had our drive back to Seminyak. What a great day with so lovely people, definately recommended!

This was an amazing experience...biking through Jatiluwih, seeing different areas of the terraces and farms, picking vegetables from the garden, and of course getting hands-on cooking authentic Balinese dishes! Would highly recommend.

We had a very comfortable drive and wonderful scenic walk. The teacher and his wife was lovely and showed us to cook traditional Balinese food. It was amazing. The location and atmosphere was perfect!

We had such a great time riding the bikes, picking vegetables and cooking the bumbu Bali! We had spent the day before touring the Tegalalang rice fields and the experience was so much better here! The food was so authentic, and Maday and his family made sure everything was perfect! I could not recommend this more!! If you are on the fence, go. You won’t regret it.

Really tasty and unique Bali dishes all cooked amidst a fun family atmosphere on one of the most beautiful spots in Bali.

Great day trip to Made and his family’s cooking school. Door to door service from our villa. We got to enjoy a scenic drive to the rice terraces and then an easy walk through the rice terraces to the cooking school. The recipes were traditional Balinese and delicious!! The hosts were amazing and their set up is very authentic and the onsite facilities were clean. This trip is great for all ages. Good value for money and was a highlight of our trip to Bali for both myself (who loves to cook) and my husband (who rarely cooks)!

We absolutely loved this class. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at the door. We opted to walk instead of cycling & really enjoyed that too. The cooking class was first class - we picked our organic vegetables then cooked then. We loved making the Indonesian curry paste - not too hot and full of flavour. Plenty to eat too. Yummy We stopped off at coffee & herbal tea plantation then a organic chocolate factory on the way home.

Cannot rate this cooking class high enough ! Amazing location , and really tasty dishes !! The cycling was fantastic the top quality bikes in excellent condition and incredible views ! ( all downhill too ) ! The cooking was excellent , picking the ingredients of the garden , really getting stuck in to cook them Together and taking home the recipe afterwords to practise at home ! The food tasted fresh and phenomenal and the hosts were super friendly , kind and incitive ! I learnt a lot and had a really great time ! Thanks so much for the wonderful experience!!

Wonderful experience.

The whole cooking class was well taken care of and the food was absolutely wonderful. Would recommend this cooking class to everyone!!

Made and his family have a very professional setup for cooking. It was so tranquil amongst the rice terraces. We selected and picked from his garden, prepared amazing food and finished with banana fritters and coffee ( he grows and grinds from home) A truly wonderful experience with amazing authentic food, I highly recommend this cooking class, outstanding!!

So so glad we did this! Made picked us up promptly at our hotel in Ubud and drove us to the rice terraces where we walked for ~30 minutes to the site of the cooking class. He let us pick vegetables that we would use in the class from his organic garden and then walked us through each recipe step by step. Together we cooked up an absolutely delicious meal and he even provided us with a recipe book and some spices so that we can try the recipes at home. Made and his family were amazing hosts and we really enjoyed learning about the area from him! The entire class was extremely well organized and everything ran very smoothly from start to finish. We would 100% recommend this experience to anyone looking for a special and unique cooking class in the heart of the Jatiluwih terraces!

This is a great experience to add to your trip to Ubud! From the pick up service to the cooking, everything was amazing! Made & his family are the nicest people, they will tell you all about the Balinese culture, the rice fields & the fruits/veggies they grow. The location is stunning: looking over the rice fields, and the food super yummy! It is a great way to learn what makes Balinese cuisine so tasty. And most ingredients come from his organic garden, which you will pick yourself. The little plus: the spices you get at the end so you can recreate the dishes you learnt back home! Terima kasih Made!

We had the best time at our cycling and cooking class at the Kubu Terrace, Jutiluwih Rice fields cooking class! Made and his wife and mother in law were perfect hosts! From pick up to drop off everything was perfect! The cycle with Made’s cousin was amazing! Not too challenging and we were able to soak up the views and stop for photos! We picked the vegetables from his little organic farm and used them in our cooking. The food we cooked was amazing and will be really simple to recreate at home. One of the highlights of our trip to Bali! Thanks Made and Family!!

From start to finish, this experience was a highlight of our visit to Bali. Seamless hotel transfers, along with the cycling, picking fresh ingredients and cooking were great. The kitchen was clean, the hosts brilliant and the food delicious. Thank you for your hospitality.

I had the most amazing experience at this cooking class! I was collected from my hotel in Canggu in the morning and taken to the rice terrace where I met my cycling guide and we cycled through a beautiful quiet route for about an hour where there were plenty of opportunities to stop for photos. Some of the cycling track was a little slippy and steep but fine for confident cyclists. I then attended the cooking class at Kubu terrace and was greeted by the friendliest hosts who made me feel so welcome. In the class we picked the ingredients fresh from the garden and made everything from scratch. It was all delicious and enjoyed in the most beautiful setting overlooking the rice field. I couldn’t recommend this class enough - it was so authentic and worth every penny! Thank you Made Seneng and family for making it so memorable!

My partner and I absolutely loved the experience of driving through the more remote areas of Bali to get to our cooking class in Jutilwih. It was amazing to see the traditional homes and architecture, as well as the lush, abundant forests. We had the pleasure of walking through the rice fields for around 30 minutes, which brought with it picturesque scenery! Following this our instructor Made showed us around the homestead including his ingenious beehive, fruit trees and vegetable beds. We went through and harvested the fresh produce we went on to use during our class. We cooked a variety of traditional meals including a delicious dessert. Would absolutely recommend this experience for anybody looking for an authentic, traditional experience!

This cooking class was well organised. The short trek to Made's place allowed us to know more about the rice terrace agriculture. The cooking class was fun and enriching as well! Allowing us to get a hands-on experience in getting the ingredients on the field was definitely awesome!

We were looking for something a bit different when it came to a cooking class. We didn’t want to be part of a crowded class, we wanted to experience the cooking from start to end. Made took is in where we picked our own fresh veggies/herbs for the day. It honestly was a fantastic experience and well worth the money. It has been one of the best experiences on our trip to Bali so far.

Great class dewi was informative class was well organised and structured Nice location

I had one of the most beautiful cooking lessons of my life. Good food, nice and very kind people, magnificent panorama.

We had a great time from start to end. The short trek to Made’s place was very pleasand and the surrounding area is simply beautiful. The food is well balanced and more than enough. We are not experienced cooks but Made and his wife guided us the entire time and made the experience more fun. Highly recommended tour to include in your Bali trip.

Thanks to Made and the beautiful location, this class was one of the best classes I ever did. Picking your own vegetables, enjoying the wonderful view on the rice terraces and the nice atmosphere; this has everything. The menu that is offered is very original and offers some authentic dishes. If you like cooking, nature and a friendly chef this class is a dream come true!

One of my favorite parts of my time in Ubud. My husband and I booked the cooking class, as we both love to cook. However, the experience went beyond a cooking class. We got to experience the culture first hand - learning about the daily life of a local, discovering new vegetables and herbs, and exploring the natural approach that local Balinese have for their cooking. The tour started with a wonderful trek (not difficult at all) to the farm and outdoor kitchen. From there, we explored the menu, traveled the farm, picked out veggies and herbs, and got right to it. We made everything from fresh coconut milk, to satays, to curry, to handmade peanut sauce with fresh peanuts! There was a certain zen to being out there in the farm cooking with such a natural approach. The meals were delicious, we learned so much, and felt so welcome by our hosts. 100% worth the trip out there, the time and the price. I'd highly recommend it!

One of the best experiences I have had in Bali. It gave us the opportunity to see the "true" Bali. The hosts gave us an opportunity to see where they lived, how they managed to sustain themselves, then showed us exactly how to cook in their style. Learned different food skills which I will definitely use in the future in our return home. Cannot fault this experience and would tell anyone who is considering doing this to not hesitate and book.

This was a really special experience as alongside learning how to cook and eat some of Indonesia's favourite dishes, you saw first hand how a working rice farm works. Located in the beautiful UNESCO Jatiluwih rice fields, the cooking hut overlooks the family's ancestral rice paddocks. You will see how the community works together to share resources, and traditional methods of farming and living in Bali. You will take a lovely walk through the rice fields on an accessible, paved track with Wayan, head of the family, who is extremely passionate about sharing his heritage. The cooking lesson is extensive, starting with gathering produce from the garden. The 3-course lunch you will cook together teaches you why and how cooking has evolved in Indonesia. Lunch is served over-looming the working rice paddies. The transfer was in a clean vehicle taking in the most scenic route. The driver was Maday's nephew. Everything is supported and shared by the family. The day is suitable for all ages and abilities. It's delivered with a lot of laughs and kindness.

We were staying in Jimbaran and it has been our favorite experience so far! Very kind, genuine people, tasty food, and beautiful scenery!

It was a fun, engaging and educational cooking class overlooking the paddy rice field. My kids had so much fun cooking and the dishes are so yummy. The host indeed was patient and shared with us. Veggie cooked were from the farm that we pluck them out. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

My teenage kids and I had a fantastic cooking experience with Made. After a beautiful 30 minute trek through UNESCO world heritage paddy fields, we arrived at Made’s self built cookery school. Everything was prepared perfectly for a real hands on experience. Firstly we picked a variety of organic home grown veggies including bak choy, wild spinach, chilli, lemongrass, turmeric, galangal, moringa etc. We then made up our own Balinese spice paste - that was to be the base flavour of a number of dishes. We cooked chicken sate with a mind blowing Balinese roasted peanut sauce, chicken coconut curry ( squeezing our own fresh coconut milk), steamed chicken dumplings, moringa soup, organic vegetable and coconut stir fry - all served with Made’s home grown organic red rice. We made everything from scratch and Made and his wife were perfect teachers and hosts. I am an experienced cook but I learned so much from this course. I highly recommend it, for the cooking, the beautiful scenery and the wonderful company of this local entrepreneur and his family. Liza Micah and Maia

While booking we selected what looked most authentic. The reality was a great Balinese kitchen and atmosphere. It was more than worth the drive to Jatiluwih. Made (our cooking instructor) and his wife deserve great compliments for the very serious and honest way in which they taught us the tips and tricks. Bumbu Bali will be part of our kitchen forever. Picking the most fresh vegetables and roots from the garden gave an extra touch. Made has taken a place in our cooking hearts. His cooking class deserves to be fully booked!!

We were picked up from our hotel and taken to some amazing scenery, picked most of the ingredients straight from the garden and cooked a beautiful meal. A wonderful experience and would highly recommend it!

Me and my Husband had the most awesome experience! It started off with the Host, Madè, picking us up from our hotel. He was on time and very friendly. Chatting with us through the hour and a half journey from Kuta to his place at Kubu Terrace. Once we were there, we did an easy 30 min down hill trek and got to see the beautiful landscape of this UNESCO World Heritage site. The trek would end at the outdoor eating place/kitchen area where we did our cooking. We picked the fresh organic vegetables straight from Madè’s garden and proceeded on to cook a 6-course authentic Balinese meal under the guidance and assistance from Madè and his Wife. The meal was super tasty, and I dare say it was the best meal we had in Bali so far. The hospitality displayed from them made us feel right at home. Would recommend this itenarary to anyone who’s looking for a break from the busy city life. It was an afternoon well spent!

This cooking class was really an amazing experience. We were picked up at our hotel and were taken to the Jatiluwah Rice Terrace. From there on we went for a walk through the terraces to the Kubu Terraces Warung, where the course took place. It was an easy walk, definitely not demanding. But still it wouldn't be a problem to go by car if needed as we were told. The cooking class itself started in the organic garden, where we were shown most of the ingredients and we picked them up - all fresh and bio. The cooking itself wasn't too demanding - don't be scared to go if you are a beginner. And the result was amazing! We cooked a soup, a salad, some curry, two types of skewers, steamed dumplings, the base paste, sambal and fried bananas as a delicious desert. After the course the driver took us to his village, that was very sweet as well and we enjoyed it very much. Overall - a must have Bali experience!

The best cooking class I have experienced in Bali! After a mix up in booking dates on my behalf, Made, our host and chef, was incredibly accommodating in ensuring we were still able to have the best experience possible, despite an early morning mix up. The location was phenomenal, with an even better menu! The experience of handing picking our own ingredients, along with all the knowledge Made had to share with us along the way allowed us to have a highly enjoyable day. Couldn't recommend enough!

We were pleasantly surprised at the cool weather because of the slightly higher altitude, so our 40min trek to Kubu Terrace was a breeze. Kubu Terrace is located within Jatiluwih which is the UNESCO heritage rice fields. So you get to check sightseeing off your list as well as cooking! Made, our guide and chef, was really attentive to detail and he was very helpful right from the pick-up from our hotel to the kitchen! We’ve learnt so much about the culture of Bali, and why certain ingredients were used for the dishes. Plus, every ingredient was taken from his garden, and we helped pick them. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a local experience. Made is sincere and honest in his craft.

It started with a long walk through the countryside with chef Madé to get to his outdoor kitchen. He taught us about the trees, plants, crops, and nearby villages as we walked through the breathtaking landscapes of the countryside of natural Bali and its beautiful rice fields. He showed us some edible plants/fruit along the way. Once we arrived his wife Dewyk assisted, we were able to pick fresh veggies from his organic garden (he even took photos of us with my phone as we did so and they turned out great!). We successfully made a several course meal as he explained all of the herbs, veggies and where everything came from. He encouraged us to take in the aromas many times, we tried cocao fruit and mangosteens. Everything, from his land to his demeanor, was truly wonderful. I searched high and low for a good cooking class and I’m SO glad we ended up choosing Kubu Terrace. A truly sensational experience for all ages.

The experience was 100% worth the 1.5hr drive to the location. Although we had a long drive the views going up there were great and we were also able to see all the different cultured villages with great views. When we arrived at Jatiluwih we walked down a track to the cooking class location which took about 30/40mins (easy walk) through all the paddy fields and all the amazing wild life around us. The location of the cooking class took our breath away, the family that run it were very friendly and welcoming and were able to answer all our questions about their culture and the area we were in. The cooking was a great experience, we picked our own food from their vegetable patch and it tasted great. Would recommened to anyone!!

We had a great day with Made & Dewi at the cooking class! Chanced upon Kubu Terrace Jatiluwih Cooking Class on Cookly, and we have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! It was well worth the money we paid and the 1.5hr car ride to & from Jatiluwih. Following the car ride, we took a 30mins stroll to the cooking school, with a view of rice terrace and a personal garden to pick fresh organic ingredients for the class. Sweetest vegetables I’ve ever tasted! Made created a cosy and homely environment for his visitors and gave us the time and space to cook at our own pace. I am very impressed with his passion to bring his hometown, Jatiluwih to the world. Highly recommended, tell everyone you know!😄

This was the best thing we have done in Bali so far. The experience was exactly as described and better. Being able to walk through rice paddies and then pick vegetables from the organic garden made us feel more appreciative of the food we were cooking. The dishes we made were delicious and our host was friendly and informative from picking us up at the hotel and pointing out areas of interest along the way to showing us what each plant was and the different uses for them when we were in the garden. Would highly recommend this cooking class with a difference!

It was a fantastic experience. Happy and his wife were very friendly. The trekking was beautiful and the garden was perfect! It was amazing to get everything from the garden to cook. The food was very nice and the menu good. Absolutely a wonderful experience!! Can recommend it to anyone who wants a feel for a Balinese kitchen:-)
