Balinese Cooking Class in Seminyak

The activity starts with a visit to the Jimbaran fish market where you learn about different fishes and buy some to cook later on, we visited a vegetables market as well. And went to the workshop in this beautiful location, The Amala, the chef was very knowledgeable about Balinese food and was happy to answer all of our questions, a great experience that I can totally recommend!

We had a wonderful cooking experience with Chef Putu at The Amala. We chose Menu 1 and learned to prepare the basa gede, lawar salad, tum ikan and dadar gulung. Chef carefully explained the ingredients and how to prepare each dish. He also offered suggestions for ingredients that may be hard to find back home. Everything was so frivolous and we ate to our heart’s content. Highly recommend the Balinese Cooking Class with Chef Putu!

We had such a great time doing the cooking class and market tour. The team was great and the food was delicious. There was plenty of small touches that went such a long way and made the experience even better.

Such a fun experience going to the markets to get the produce to use in the cooking class. The whole Amala team were amazing, very friendly and professional. Had a great day and the food was amazing. Highly recommend this experience.

Very enjoyable cooking class with chef Putu, me and my friend opted for Menu 2 which was just delicious and there was no shortage of food. Went to the market in the morning to get fresh ingredients for our meals and then returned to the Amala where the cooking class was held. All staff were so friendly and attentive. Cooking class was very enjoyable and learned alot. Round trip transfer to our hotel was included too which was great. We also got a personalised certificate and got to keep the apron, a lovely touch.

I absolutely loved this cooking class. The setting was gorgeous, food was amazing and plentiful and our chef was fantastic. We also went to the fish and fruit/veg market before the class which was quite an experience! I would highly recommend this Balinese cooking class

This class was a great opportunity to cook authentic Balinese food under the guidance of a professional chef. Christ was very friendly and was a great conversationalist. We chose to add on the fish market visit with the class, and it was great to see how they do it in Bali. We also bought some herbs from the market nearby and it was interesting to see the different kinds of produce they have compared to what we're used to in Australia. At the hotel, we got to each have a turn at cutting up the ingredients and cooking them. We chose menu 2 and it was very tasty! At the end of the class, we got to keep our aprons and got a personalised certificate to show our completion of the class.

Fun trip to the market. Great class at a beautiful location.

What a great experience and so much fun! I would highly recommend this class to anyone.

This was a great tour and experience. We did go with the chef to the local market and this I thought should be a must by all, but was provided as an option. It was nice for the chef to point out what was good and what was bad. He taught us how to pick the freshest Red Snapper the redder the eyes the better and one other secret. It was nice to see the real parts of the country and where your meal comes from. I will mention we were staying where most are in Nusa Dua south of South Kuta and it cost us 250,000 more Rupiah to get here. So that is one reason I cannot give this the full 5 stars. I say this because this wasn't brought up when we initially booked but only a day before the tour was to happen. Not good communication on this ... just be up front with the charges ... most will still pay, but don't be shady about it. I thought the chef was really good about explaining all the ingredients we were using and very detailed in how to prepare it. I was nice he had the recipe to follow along with. Something else that was nice ... I actually don't like Curry and he used ingredients that didn't include this and made the food authentic and delicious. We were given many opportunities to participate and be involved in the creation of the dishes. The staff were exceptional in helping us as well as the chef deliver a great experience and delicious food. They were also instrumental in preparing an elegant dining area to eat our finally prepared dishes. We were all very full and happy by the end. In the end it was great to receive our cooking aprons as roots, spices and ingredients we cooked with as well as a certificate we completed the class. Thanks again.
