What to expect

Experience the delicious food and warm hospitality of Bali with Kadek and Putu. Join Kadek's sister, Putu, and members of their family in the family compound to cook traditional Balinese dishes from scratch. First Kadek will pick you up from your Ubud hotel and take you to a local Gianyar market, where he will show you regional fruits, vegetables and herbs that are used in Balinese cooking, before returning to his home to cook together. If you're interested, before the cooking experience, Kadek can show you how he grows local fruits and vegetables at his home, a few doors down from his sister's house. As you explore the garden he will offer you a fresh juice, squeezed from just-picked seasonal fruits like mulberry, passion fruit, papaya, mango, or jackfruit. After cooking, enjoy an authentic Balinese meal of dishes such as piquant chicken satay, stir-fried vegetables, steamed fish, rice, and, for dessert, fried banana with grated fresh coconut and palm sugar.
