What to Expect
Want to live like a Balinese local for a day? Chef Maria invites you into her home kitchen and local neighborhood for a hands-on cooking class and market tour.
You will start the day at the new Kuta market in a non-touristy area (Pasar Kuta Bahru, which is walking distance from Maria's house), where Maria will introduce you to native and seasonal produce.
Everyone will then return to her house, where you'll whip up 3 classic Indonesian/Balinese dishes of your choice. You'll receive detailed recipes and photos before you leave so you can make the dishes again at home.
This cooking class and market tour is a truly authentic immersion into local Balinese life.
