Green Kitchen Bali

Une expérience formidable que d'apprendre à cuisiner de délicieux plats. Nous avons tous participé et l'équipe a rendu l'expérience très amusante. Je recommande sans hésiter.

Ce fut une journée merveilleuse en pleine nature. Tout s'est déroulé à merveille. On est venus nous chercher directement à l'hôtel le matin, puis on nous a emmenés au marché, et enfin à l'école de cuisine. L'accueil était très chaleureux et convivial. Les techniques de préparation nous ont été expliquées clairement, ainsi que des informations sur les traditions culinaires.

Il est rare de pouvoir suivre un cours de cuisine basé sur les techniques des années 1920. Cuisiner au feu de bois, mélanger les ingrédients dans un gros bloc de pierre avec une bûche et goûter au fur et à mesure. C'était une expérience vraiment amusante, même pour mon amie qui n'avait jamais pris de cours de cuisine !

L'excursion valait vraiment le coup. Le point fort a commencé avec un excellent chauffeur qui nous a emmenés dans un authentique marché de gros balinais. Là, nous avons pu échanger avec les locaux et observer comment ils s'approvisionnent en produits alimentaires et en ingrédients de cuisine. Nous avons pu faire quelques achats à ramener à la maison et admirer les magnifiques herbes aromatiques, les épices et même le tabac brut, vendus en gros, ce qui était très intéressant. La ferme que nous avons ensuite visitée était située dans un cadre magnifique. Nous ne sommes pas convaincus qu'il s'agisse d'une ferme 100 % biologique, comme indiqué dans la publicité, car le guide nous a prévenus pendant la visite qu'elle ne l'était pas et qu'elle était issue d'un système mixte (50/50), impliquant l'utilisation de pesticides. Malgré cela, et en faisant abstraction de cette réserve, car nous recherchions une expérience 100 % biologique, nous avons tout de même apprécié la journée, notamment la découverte des cultures associées et la promenade dans les magnifiques champs. La visite de la ferme et l'atelier cuisine étaient un peu trop nombreux à notre goût, car nous étions dix touristes. Avec un groupe aussi important, il était souvent difficile d'entendre les informations données pendant la visite, sauf si l'on était assis devant. Le repas était absolument délicieux et exceptionnel, avec un choix de plats végétariens et non végétariens. Nous avons reçu de précieux conseils de cuisine à reproduire à la maison et avons passé une excellente journée, tant au niveau de la nourriture que des plats eux-mêmes.

L'expérience a été incroyable du début à la fin. Le chauffeur était charmant et nous a emmenés au marché, une visite passionnante et instructive. Il était intarissable sur le sujet. Se promener parmi les fruits et légumes cueillis à la main devant nous fut une expérience inoubliable. Tout le monde était si accueillant et serviable, et la nourriture était divine, un vrai régal, comme je n'en avais jamais goûté auparavant.

10/10, tout était parfait ! Nous avons adoré la visite du marché, la balade dans les rizières était super et le cours de cuisine avec les chefs balinais était notre moment préféré. La nourriture était délicieuse et d'une fraîcheur incomparable. Nous recommandons vivement ce cours de cuisine à tous ceux qui viennent à Bali !

Nous avons passé un excellent moment : la visite d'un marché et d'une ferme locaux, suivie de la découverte de différents ingrédients et de la préparation de plats typiques sur des feux de bois. Quelques autres groupes nous ont rejoints, et nous avons passé un très bon moment à cuisiner ensemble. J'aurais simplement aimé participer davantage à la préparation des plats. Nous avons reçu beaucoup d'aide pour la friture et l'ébullition, qui étaient sans doute les étapes les plus efficaces, mais je n'ai pas eu l'impression de maîtriser tous les aspects des recettes à la fin de l'atelier. Nous avons tout de même reçu un livret de recettes, que nous essaierons à la maison.

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!!
