The cooking class was an absolute highlight, we learnt to make 6 different authentic Balinese dishes, dietary requirements were no issues to be catered to, and the handy booklet we received after means we can recreate this once back home. Touring the farm, was so interesting and picking some ingredients fresh for our dishes. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting through Ubud.
We had such a beautiful experience at Taman Dukuh Farm Cooking School. We chose the morning class, which started with a visit to the local farmers market. It was so interesting to see the fresh produce, spices, tempeh, and flowers used for daily offerings — a lovely glimpse into local life.
At the farm, we enjoyed a guided walk through their lush and thoughtfully designed gardens. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing how the ingredients are grown and used. We even picked fresh produce ourselves before the cooking began.
The class was well organised, relaxed, and really fun. The staff were warm, friendly, and had a great sense of humour, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
The food was absolutely delicious — from satay sauce and curry paste to corn fritters, sweet and sour tempeh, and fresh garden greens. Everything was full of flavour and such a treat 😋
I love cooking and felt so inspired by all the new ideas and techniques I learned. But honestly, even if you are not into cooking, this experience is something special and memorable.
Thank you for such a wonderful day. We absolutely loved it ❣️

I attended the Balinese Cooking Class at the Organic Farm in UBUD and it was brilliant! The class was well thought out, there was a good sized group who were very friendly and the cooking activity itself was fun and informative. The teachers were fun and friendly and were taking pictures and videos throughout (great for those who like to capture the memories!) I would highly recommend attending this class for a light hearted, fun activity where you can meet other people.

Excellent market and farm tour and cooking class
We did the morning cooking class which included a market tour and farm tour to pick fresh vegetables for the cooking class. It was a great experience and I'd highly recommend the morning class so that you get to experience shopping in a real village market - our guide was great and we got to try some wonderful tropical fruit as we went through. We then arrived at the organic biodynanic farm for a tour around and to learn about all the crops that they grow, infusing picking some of the ingredients for the dishes. We made (or helped to make) two starters, three main dishes and dessert, all of which were delicious. If you go as a couple/ family, you do share one stove etc rather than each person having their own and some of the dishes are partially made for you, so while it's still very hands-on, you don't make 100% of the dishes yourself. Still highly recommend - great experience.

Hi Stacey! We are so delighted to hear that you found the morning class such a great experience! It is wonderful that you enjoyed the immersive trip to the village market and the chance to taste our local tropical fruits—it’s such a vibrant way to start the day.We are glad you appreciated learning about our biodynamic farming and picking the fresh ingredients for your meal. It’s great that you enjoyed the hands-on process of making those starters, mains, and dessert! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the shared cooking stations for families; we find it often adds a nice communal feel to the "feast" you create together.
This was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend for anyone visiting Ubud! Our host was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the food was unreal! I selected the vegan menu and my friend selected vegetarian - it was almost exactly the same, so very easy to accommodate. We picked our own vegetables from their fabulous garden before making a feast - two starters, three mains and a dessert. Simple but super delicious traditional Indonesian food - it was great to learn how to make so many things that we’d been eating on our trip, and we got the recipes to take home - excited to try cooking this again! Truly one of the best meals of the trip - all the better because we’d made it ourselves!

Picking fresh vegetables directly from our garden is such a special part of the process, and we’re so glad you enjoyed harvesting the ingredients for your feast! It’s fantastic that you found the recipes simple yet delicious, and we are so happy you have the instructions to recreate those traditional Indonesian flavors back at home.
