발리 가정집에서 즐기는 특별한 정통 발리 요리

Nyoman,was full of knowledge and passionate about passing on his cooking skills and the importance of cooking fresh food for the future generations without MSG... Also gave us an insight of balinese culture and family living, would highly recommend his class

My husband and I had a wonderful time. it was only 2 of us - we got lucky with numbers so we had a whole private market & teaching experience. We did the actual prep and cooking under close instructions which made it a lot of fun. We certainly feel like we earned our certificates. The Chef, who was also the market guide, was very lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable. We were taught a lot more about just the food, learnt a lot about the day to day and centuries old cultures of balinese living. We've done a few teaching courses in various countries but this is where we learnt the most and learnt more than just about the food. We highly recommend it! Petting brownie, the dog and all the cute cats was a bonus too.

Nyoman was very helpful, full of Jokes, and gave very helpful tips. Emmy's boyfriend and I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. 🫶🏽

Thanks for showing us your house it was a very authentic experience I really enjoyed it!

When I booked this class for myself, daughter and husband, my husband was hesitant. Our driver picked us up early and was amazing as we were in a difficult to find location. We met the chef, Nyoman, at the markets and he gave us a tour. He was very informative and knowledgeable. He then welcomed us into his family compound and home where his aunties were preparing the food for the cooking class. His family's home was very beautiful and had lovely gardens. The cooking class was so much fun we cooked several dishes and there was so much food that we could not finish it all. The cooking class also easily catered for my daughter who is vegan. My husband said he really enjoyed the experience and wanted to do it again. Altogether it was an awesome fun thing to do. We wish Nyoman and his family all the best luck for the future.

Amazing!!!! Everything was so fantastic, I never thought cooking could be so much fun. The whole experience was so great, the food, the atmosphere, our wonderful teacher Nyoman and his village. The class is held in his home surrounded by his 42 family members. Nyoman not only taught us traditional Balinese cooking but taught us about the Balinese culture, the health benefits of the fruit and vegetables and the balance of life. Nyoman’s uncle ‘Wayan’ was also a wealth of knowledge, he taught us the zen of life. I would have to say in all the years I have been coming to Bali, this cooking class was the best thing I have done, I loved every minute of it, this class needs to be on everyone’s ‘To do list’.

Learnt a lot about foods and also recycling in Bali. The teacher was lots of fun and what we cooked was delicious.

Moment exceptionnel dans cette maison de famille où tout est réuni pour apprendre la culture en plus de la cuisine... L'accueil, la gentillesse et l'envie de transmettre un savoir, tout est au top! Et les produits délicieux !

I loved this class...I've had a great vacation, but this just may be my favorite part. The tour is part of the family's business and the class is held right in the traditional family kitchen. They are wonderful, warm, and welcoming. You learn all the "top secret" ingredients and recipes for delicious Balinese foods!

Excellent family and good atmosphere. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Such a wonderful experience! Nyoman is so knowledgeable and I've learnt so much about Balinese food and culture. I would highly recommend it! Thank you!

The market tour was so good, we had a little history lesson and played guess the fruit and vegetables, durian is still yukki but each to their own. We then went to the farm/home and played with the animals, 5 very cute buggies and many more. After that we then went to the kitchen where the aunties were prepping the food we would've cooking and learning about, we talked and leant about all the wonderful properties and uses of the spices and ingredients we were going to use and tasted some of their home grown roasted and brewed coffee. We made 5 different traditional dishes with great instruction and laughter with our guide, I would recommend this to anyone who likes food and is interested in learning about how to make it all when you get home.

Felt so welcomed into the family home, incredible food and learnt so much that I can take home

It was an incredible experience, they all are really nice and I learned a lot about Balinesse culture. Food was incredible!! I highly recommend it for everyone.

Amazing chef, told us everything and answered every single question. Very good environment and food!

Excellent experience. Well organized, very informative. Booking worked well with Cookly

The host was beyond knowledgeable about cooking local culture and customs, it was a great pleasure taking this class, will definitely bring my family back for this experience!

Loved our visit to a traditional family compound and thoroughly enjoyed the hands on food prep and the tasty meal at the end. The visit to the market was interesting too

This class is not to be missed! The chef explained all the ingredients in detail and gave us very clear instructions on how to prepare the food. The food was delicious!! It was also an unforgettable experience to cook in a Balinese home, we loved learning about the culture!

Fabulous

We really enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Everyone was very professional and fun. The experience was excellent! Leah and Alan

Lovely people, great food

This was definately one of our best experience in Bali ! An amazing teacher who explains every single one aspect of the traditional balinese food cooking ! If you're looking for a complete immersion, go for it !

We had a very wonderful experience and will be back!

This class was AMAZING. The chef took us around the market and explained so many things to us. The culture, how the food is prepared, the roles for men and women in the family. There were 4 of us in the class but I think it is up to 12 people. We went to a house and cooked amazing traditional food and the chef was so informative. This is a must and highlight of my trip!

Great to be welcomed into a family house and be shared stories and recipes from the family.

On top of the cooking itself, the instructor also introduces us the wider usage of the herbs, Balinese eating habits and cultures.

What a wonderful experience to visit local markets and then be made to feel at home in a traditional Balinese home where we learnt to cook a meal. We also learnt about how foods heal us and many things about Balinese cooking traditions

We really liked the atmosphere and the way the chef was teaching us about the food.

This class is a must! An amazing experience that informed us on the REAL Bali culture. Our smiling host was super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We made some beautiful food and enjoyed the conversation. Absolutely great.

What a fantastic experience. If you want gain some insight into the Balinese culture sign up for this class. You will go to the market and see the traditional Balinese dishes and than back to the family home where you learn how a Balinese family extended family live. This was a wonderful insight into the Balinese way of life. The food was delicious and so much that my husband and I were unable to eat all of what we cooked. I highly recommend this cooking class, The interaction from our teacher and other family members really made my husband and I welcome. We will attend another class with this school the next time we return to Bali, If your signing up for a class do this one you will not be disappointed.

I had so much fun in this class! A driver picked me up and drove me to the market where I met Nyoman who did the cooking class for me. I did an afternoon class and part of the market had closed by then, but he showed me individual vendors and their carts and explained what they were selling and it was very informative. I loved it. We then went to his family home and they have a section set up to do the cooking classes. What they have created is beautiful! A huge outside kitchen, totally organized and ready for class. I met his Auntie and Ma and they helped prep food and clean up. I made about 7 dishes and they were all delicious and they looked pretty. I was very full after only a few bites, (the heat and humidity took away my appetite), so Auntie and Ma wrapped my food up so I could take it back to my hotel. The amazing thing about my experience is that I was the only one in the class. Because it's the slow season, it was just me, but KDongDing Cooking Class treated me as if I was a class of 12. They showed me everything and had me cook everything as if I was in a full class. I was very impressed. You will make the Mother Sauce, drink yummy coffee, and eat the food you make. You will also learn about their traditions. I was impressed and touched by how much family means to them. The class wasn't expensive, check it out. (I forgot to tip the driver, it was raining and I was flustered and it slipped my mind. Please tip him for me and I'll pay it forward from my end. Thanks!)

From visting the market to eating our creations the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We learnt so much from Nyoman, very informative tour of the local market, shared his exceptional knowledge of the ingredients and the health benefits and then fun cooking class with his Aunt as assistant. The location which his family have been sharing for over 200 years was an amazing space, they literally grow most of the vegetables there. Highly recommended.

Ever wonder how life is behind those walls with all the small temples? You will experience it here. The family is here for generations. 42 people from the same family. Aunties help and you will see first hand how it all works. And get an excellent meal with an entertaining Mr. Black chef. I can't recommend it enough!

Highly recommend Mr Blacks cooking class at their beautiful traditional family home! Very informative and enjoyable evening where you also get an insight the how a traditional Balinese family lives and world together.

It was really an awesome experience. We are still deeply impressed by all the information we got and by the nice and familiar atmosphere the cooking class took place. We appreciated very much that Nyoman Mahendra shared his house with us and let us know so much about Indonesian culture, family life, market life etc. To join his class is a really 'must do'. And we are looking forward to cooking his recipes very soon at home.

We had such an amazing day! The enthusiasm of the chef put a smile on everyone’s face. The inside peak into a real Balinese family’s home was definitely something else. An unexpected, beautiful addition to the cooking class. And OMG the food was so tasty! Easy to prepare and very well explained. We even know all the health benefits to the ingredients now :). Highly recommended, pls everyone go!!!

Nyoman is one of the most caring, charismatic people I've ever met - bringing us to their home was an experience I'll never forget and really added to the day. I learned so much about Balinese tradition and felt ingrained for a couple hours. The coffee they grow on their land is SO GOOD and the class was a good pace with delicious food and smells. The trip to the market was eye-opening as well, very much not touristy. Thank you for an amazing day K'DongDing! One small hang up: I had signed up for a Monday morning class and they mistakenly thought I'd signed for the afternoon so I had to call at 8:40a asking about my pickup. I was very annoyed but scheduled for the next morning and am so glad I stuck with it! Couldn't have asked for a better experience

Soooo nice people and so good food! Loved all of it

This cooking class was the best day we had in Ubud!!! Such an incredible time with so much positivity and inclusion of sharing cultures. We were blown away by the skills of the chef and how we were able to create such an aesthetic and delicious meal together! cannot recommend enough!!

What an amazing experience!! We were lucky enough to have the class to ourselves and did not expect the fantastic afternoon we got!! Starting with the tour around the night market to the tour around their family compound. We felt welcomed by everyone in the family with open arms!! The setting is incredible and the tour around the gardens seeing how much produce they grow is just fab!! The cooking class was so much fun and we learnt so many secret skills we will be using back at home!! The entire afternoon was filled with laughter, amazing food, and an abundance of Balinese culture and history. Such a gem and if you are lucky enough to book onto a class here you will absolutely not be disappointed!! Thank you so much for sharing your Sunday afternoon with us!! Alice and Parin xx

Got to cook some of my favorite Bali delights!!!! Highly skilled and knowledgeable chef!!!! Looking to continue my culinary experience next time I’m back!!! Definitely Recommend it!!!

I got picked up from my hotel and the driver took me straight to the market where I met my instructor. I was the only student for that day. He showed me around before we went to his compound where he was giving the cooking class. He explained to me the different ingredients before I started cooking supported with his knowledge and tips!

This class let us experience local and hands-on Balinese cooking. Our day started in the morning with a local tour to Payangan market. The weather was really nice at that time so we really enjoyed the breeze and the outdoor. We got to pick our own ingredients that were need for our dish selection. Then we went straight to the kitchen and we watch and recreated the dish hands-on. While teaching us how to cook, our chef also discussed about the history of each dish, Indonesian culture and the background of Balinese cuisines. From the market tour to the distribution of certificates, all activities were organized properly.

It is nice to learn about cooking with local people in their traditional house. The instructor is really hospitable and even prepare us nice coffee and snacks before our cooking session, and we totally made five dishes on nice cut banana leaves. I cannot believe that cooking can be this fun and I can make such flavourful food.

I had an awesome experience in this cooking class. The instructor is friendly, welcoming, and more than happy to share Balinese culture and cooking with you. The food is amazing - but honestly, this is so much more than a cooking class. I learned so much about the Balinese culture and traditions, and having the class right in a family home made it that much more special. I highly recommend. It will be very memorable.

Newman is so friendly, interesting and of course a good chef, and the place/House/school is wonderful!

My partner and I had a fantastic time! We were shown their home and community and learnt a lot about balinese culture. Nyoman was a terrific cook and teacher and we walked away with 5 new dishes and lots of notes 🙂 Would definitely recommend 👍

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Such kind, knowledgable and welcoming hosts. The food was delicious and generous portion, easily our best meal in Bali! Great if you would like an authentic experience of Balinese home life set up, and cooking! Thank you so much Mr Black.

We visited a regional market and the cook taught us about their culture. Then we went to his home and he showed us the garden and all the vegetables. We cooked a menu with salad, soup, main dishes and pancakes. It was amazing!
