Kuta Cooking Classes

Maria met us at our hotel and we went to the local market together first where she showed us various foods and explained what dishes they are used in. We then walked to her home nearby and we helped her to make four beautiful dishes and she explained the process in detail and she taught us the importance of having the right balance of spices and ingredients for each particular dish, also how each sauce can be used with any meat, fish or vegetables depending on preference. We sat together and ate from the dishes we had prepared afterwards. It was a delightful intimate experience with a beautiful older lady full of knowledge and skill.

Do it, it's great fun and you get to have a feast on what you cooked

Chef was great

Sonni was an amazing teacher/chef

From the communication before arrival to the warm greeting on the day ,this few hours was probably the best we spent in Bali. Not only did we learn something new we made new connections. Chef and his staff were amazing ! Would recommend doing

We had a day to fill with some activities and booked the class the day before. What an incredible experience! The chefs were knowledgeable and good at teaching, and the staff made everything easy. We hardly noticed 3.5 hours go by and the food was great when we ate. I would highly recommend this place.

Had such a great experience even as a solo participant in the group of 11. I had such a wonderful experience interacting with everyone and Chef Bagus and his team ensured you were all included and had a fantastic time.

Cooking class gave great insights into the Indonesian culture. Maria was both informative and polite. Indonesian cooking is about balance and subtlety. We will certainly use this knowledge in our daily life.

I had such an amazing experience taking Maria’s cooking class in Bali. She was incredibly welcoming, kind, and extremely accommodating. I went solo and immediately felt at home—it was such a personable and cool experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and Maria’s teaching style was easy to follow. I love that she provided her recipes so I could take them home with me and recreate the dishes. And the market visit was a cherry on top to learn more about common ingredients that go into Balinese cuisine! This class was definitely a highlight of my trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and heartfelt cooking experience in Bali!

Three generations of our family attended Chef Bagus’s cooking class and we all had a fab time! Knowledgeable, organised and jovial Chef Bagus and his staff made sure we all left the class with smiles on our faces and a cooking certificate to show off!

Enjoyable course, highly recommended, well explained, attentive staff.

Maria was the kindest best cook and teacher. Bali is full of tourist traps but this is the real deal.

Such a fun morning. Learnt lots, had lots of fun and chef bagus and staff wonderful. Would highly recommend.

From pick up from hotel by Alfons to drop off and everything in between brilliant. Chef Bagus was welcoming friendly funny and explained cooking techniques really well. He accommodated my friends garlic allergy along with other patrons request for less spicy. All up 10 dishes, hands on preparation and cooking, a takeaway recipe book and way too much food- able to takeaway leftovers. Great morning activity and lucky we only had 8 in our group.

My Wife enjoyed it very much and the chef was very in formal and enjoyed the food
