Clases de Cocina en Penebel

This Balinese cooking experience was truly one of the highlights of my trip. We were welcomed so warmly and taught about the herbs and spices grown throughout the surrounding villages and rice terraces, which made the experience feel deeply connected to the culture and land. During the class, we cooked traditional Balinese dishes and enjoyed everything on site. The food was absolutely delicious, and we were even given a take-home cookbook with the recipes we prepared, which was such a thoughtful touch. What made this experience even more special was the host and his assistants, some of whom were family members. They were honestly some of the most hospitable people I met during my time in Bali. They shared not only cooking techniques, but also meaningful insight into Balinese culture, including how rice is a staple at every meal, how families often cook once a day, and how warungs play such an important role in daily life. This was more than just a cooking class — it was a beautiful cultural experience. A must-try while in Bali. It will not disappoint!

We were picked up from our hotel and driven to Jatiluwih by Karma who talked to us about the areas we drove through and gave us information about the impending festival in a few days time as all the villages were putting up decorations. At the UNESCO Jatiluwih rice fields we were greeted by Made and we had a leisurely walk to his organic rice and vegetable farm, while he pointed out different trees and told us about the Subak system farmers are a part of. Once at Kuba Terrace he switched into chef mode and we walked on his farm to collect ingredients for our dishes. In the main kitchen his wife and assistants were busy grating and chopping and we were doing the same in the workshop kitchen. Altogether we made 2 starters, a couple of key sauces such as Bumbu bali and satay sauce, four or five dishes for main and to finish off fried bananas and coffee. Made and his wife were excellent hosts and our meals were delicious- and whats more we feel confident in replicating them at home. This is highly recommended for those who want an authentic experience of food, culture and amazing landscape.

Made and his family are great hosts. After walking through unesco listed rice terraces, we harvested vegies and herbs from the garden then cooked 7 dishes for lunch / delicious!

Could not recommend this cooking experience high enough. Starting our day picked up on time ftom our accommodation, we travelled in air conditioned comfort to the start of our personal guided walking tour through the rice fields to our final cooking destination. The walk was suitable for most levels of fitness, and there was plenty of opportunities to take in the breathtaking visa. Arriving at the organic farm/kitchen our host guided us through the garden to sample and hand select herbs and vegetables for our meal. In the kitchen we were carefully guided to create a three course meal of decadent flavours and textures. This experience has been a highlight of our Bali adventure. .

Beautiful location, lovely host/s and so nice ot be invited into their house

We got picked up at the hoptel and had a wonderful day cycling through the rice fields with Arie and then learning how to cook traditional Indonesian food. You first go and collect most of the food out the garden so you know its super fresh, just the meat we didn't collect ourselves. After cooking the food you get to eat it in the most idilic surroundings possible with true authentic food. We also cooked a number of satés on the BBQ which tasted amazing. Then to finish it all off fried bananas for pudding. Then you are bought back to your hotel with a book of the recipes so you can cook them at home. Our hosts Made and his wife were wonderful and the best hosts you could possibly have. We would recommend this experience to anybody on Bali

An incredible experience!!! Made met us at the top of the terraces and we wandered down to his family home at the bottom. Along the way, we learnt so much about their agricultural practices, how and when they harvest, how they deter pests and get the best out of their produce. At Kubu Terrace, Made and his lovely wife Debbie hosted us for an authentic Indonesian cooking class. 6 courses, all imade by us!!! We. Collected herbs, vegetables and fruits from their garden and slwith their expert guidance cooked up a storm. The flavours were vibrant amd just next level. Highly recommend this experience.A wonderful combination of multi-generational knowledge, tradition and culture. Dont miss this one!!!!

The hotel pick-up was perfectly on time, and we were taken to a stunning UNESCO World Heritage organic rice field. The scenery was breathtaking. The cooking class began with harvesting our own organic vegetables, and from there we learned to prepare seven different traditional Balinese dishes — all hands-on. I was deeply impressed by the process of making coconut milk from freshly shredded coconut. The flavors were pure, wholesome, and different from the processed tastes you often find in restaurants — delicious in a way that made my stomach feel happy. Our host entertained us from the drive to the class itself, serving as both the instructor and even playing traditional xylophone music for us. I would love to join again the next time I visit Bali.

Great people, wonderful location and genuine in their endeavours to give an experience. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

A fantastic hands-on experience in a beautiful setting. Made and his team are very professional and entertaining at the same time. The recipes are very clear and delicious . Don’t hesitate, just go and enjoy!!

We had a really enjoyable day with Made (Mahday) and his family - the Jatilwah rice terraces are truly stunning. We picked what we then cooked and were able to set up a little competitive cooking between family members and then all sat down to eat together. We felt real members of their family and it was a truly exceptional life affirming day - thank you Made ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recommend it 100%. An immersive experience with an incredibly generous family.

The cors has been taking place in a very nice landscape and the cooking was great. We enyed a lot.

The entire day spent with Cookly’s Organic Authentic Balinese Cooking Class with Trekking in the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces was an amazingly wonderful time. Booking with Cookly was simple and easy with communication, all done via WhatsApp and email, was prompt and efficient. The actual tour and cooking class was handled by the owner of Kubo Terrace Cooking Class, Mr. Made Senang, and his brother. In fact, his brother was the driver who picked me up at the hotel at 7:15 AM. It took almost 2 hours to get to the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces (Bali Traffic is extremely congested). When I arrived, I met Made, who gave me a tour of the rice terraces as we walked to his establishment, which is located within the rice terraces. As we walked, he explained the rice terraces are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and how the land has been owned within the same families for generations, including his own. I also learned about the growing, harvesting, and drying of red rice, which is what was happening at the moment, so it was pretty neat to see. Seeing the rice terraces and how intensely farmed the entire area is incredibly beautiful. Every inch of soil is used with the grass on the pathways between the rice patties being cut and used for feeding cows, there are banana trees, coconut trees, and other fruit trees grown on the side of the roads, and within each owner’s plot of land. The Kubo Rice Terrace Cooking Class is as amazing and impressive as are the rice terraces as Made and his brother are passionate about the land, the food it produces, and living in harmony with the land. As Made said several times during the day, all the food they need is here on the land. Before starting the cooking, Made reviewed the menu and the ingredients we will use so we knew exactly what to expect during the class. He then surprised us by saying we would be picking all the vegetables and herbs for the recipes out of his garden here at the farm. This included moringa, celery, cucumber, tomato, limes, cabbage, spinach, green beans, coconut, and bay leaves. Amazing! Once we had all the ingredients, we began cooking. Made and his brother explained each step in the process, like why the spices are ground into a pulp and then heated before use; the grinding ensures you get all the spice flavor out of the spice and the heating further activates the spice’s aroma and flavor. We also learned about the spice mixture, Bumbu Bali, which is a staple in almost every Balinese meal. Our menu included Moringa/Kelor soup, mixed vegetables, chicken satay, Balinese chicken curry, chicken dumplings, how to make the dumplings using banana leaves, how to make peanut sauce and finally, for dessert, fried bananas. We then got to eat our lunch while enjoying the panoramic view of the rice fields. The day was a wonderful experience in both seeing the rice fields and learning how to prepare and enjoy local cuisine. I hope you get the chance to do the tour and enjoy it as much as I did.

Authentic Balinese Cooking Experience A highlight of our trip! This family-run organic farm and cooking school offers an amazing hands-on experience. Everything is homegrown—even their own rice flour! Friendly staff, great food, and convenient pick-up made for a fantastic day. Highly recommend! Cheers Cindy Joe Amanda & Craig
