Besides the beaches and the fascinating sunsets, there’s still one thing that we can live without in Bali: traditional culinary. Indonesian cuisine, specifically in Bali, is a generation-old recipe that can turn a rice into lip-licking food, packed with spices and herbs. And since Bali is a place where we can find some of the world’s best chefs and restaurants, then we need to learn how to cook these delicacies.

Fortunately for us, this island (particularly Ubud) is full with cooking schools and classes that offers everything. Start from ingredient scouting to traditional preparation. Even must-try dishes and even explorations to the local market. By joining the cooking class, you will get a real taste of Bali. In some cooking classes, you’ll be sent to an adventure through Bali’s most beautiful landscapes before cooking up a feast.
