What you get

    About this experience

    Join your host Putu in her kitchen for a private, hands-on cooking class. Unlike many other TripAdvisor tours, this is a private experience. You and your host will prepare 2-3 authentic Balinese dishes. As you chop, grind and grill, Putu will teach you about the spices she uses in her family recipes as well as the medicinal qualities of Balinese ingredients. Putu's kitchen is simple, with only a two-burner cooktop but you will be impressed by the speed and fluidity with which she prepares a complex menu with multiple dishes. You will taste a variety of authentic dishes with potential ones being Putu’s grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish with Balinese sambal (chili sauce), a curry dish (either chicken, fish or vegetarian) or perhaps a variety of pepes (foods seasoned with local spices, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed). You can expect the cooking lesson to last about 1-2 hours before you sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare with your host and her family.

    Excellent local cooking morning

    Brilliant morning. Putu was an excellent teacher, explaining what we had to do and why. The location is lovely, out in the countryside at a beautiful house. My kids, (14 and 16) and I all got to prepare different elements and cook different things. The final results tasted excellent and we are already planning to make the recipes again when we get home. The only problem was that we made too much.

    Cooking with Putu in Ubud

    On 16 August, we took part in a cooking workshop with Putu in Ubud. It was a wonderful experience. Not only did we get to discover Balinese cuisine by preparing five dishes together, but we also learned a lot about the interaction between their beloved chillies and the other ingredients. For example, why you should only use half a chilli in one dish because another ingredient intensifies the heat, while in other dishes you can easily use two chillies. Putu explains everything perfectly and shares lots of useful tips and tricks. She also knows how to get everyone involved and actively participating. You can really see that she genuinely enjoys cooking, but also loves sharing her knowledge with others. The Perkedel jagung we made ourselves turned out to be the best ones we tasted during our entire trip through Java and Bali! We prepared quite a lot of food, but we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. It was definitely an experience we would love to repeat. And after the workshop, Putu also sends you all the recipes, so you can recreate the dishes at home and relive the experience. A perfect way to end our trip!

    Fantastic experience, 100% recommend

    This is the best experience we had in Ubud. Putu is a very kind, enthousiastic and passionate cook. Pickup was excellent, we got a tour at Putu’s house, and made delicious meals with products from her own garden. Would recommend 100% for anyone!

    Very lovely experience....

    Very lovely experience. Putu guided us through preparing the recipes clearly, and she was very patient with helping our young children participate in the preparation. The food is very traditional Balinese, and she made a point to help us prepare versions of each dish with chiles for the grownups and without chiles for the kids. The kids also loved her garden and the animals wandering around in it, especially the baby swans.

    A great afternoon

    Just wonderful. We had a grat time, and learned so much. Putu was knowledgable, friendly and made everything feel easy. our kids (10 and 14) loved it, with the approach Putu took encouraging the younger one to try a lot more than she might have otherwise, including adding more chili

    PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.

    How much does PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.

    Is PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 692 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home?

    +

    Around 242 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ubud?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Best of Ubud Full-Day Tour with Jungle Swing, Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ubud?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ubud?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
