Summary

Start this private food adventure with a convenient pick up from your Ubud hotel at 9am. If you are not staying in Ubud, make your own way and meet your host at a designated resort near his house. Visit a traditional Balinese walled family compound nestled in a village in the terraced foothills just north of Ubud. Consisting of several open pavilions around a central courtyard, the village is home to your hosts and their extended family. Near your host's home, discover exotic Balinese fruits, herbs and spices such as galangal, cloves, cacao and nutmeg and learn about their medicinal properties. Then, walk 10 minutes to your host's home for a tour of the family compound before joining his wife Jero to cook authentic, home-cooked Balinese dishes using a traditional wood-fired oven. Learn to cook with Jero dishes such as pepes Ikan (grilled tuna in banana leaves), bumbu kuning (chicken in a fresh turmeric and coconut milk sauce), and bregedel (hand-ground corn fritters). Enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare while experiencing the life of a local family in the lush green of their compound walls. Leave with family recipes, new friends, and lifelong memories. Please note that you will be hosted by Dewa or an equally wonderful family member who will host you along with Dewa's wife Jero. This is not a professional cooking class, rather this experience is a visit to an authentic, local home to meet a local family who are expert cooks and share Balinese culture and cuisine together.

Why take this tour?

Start this private food adventure with a convenient pick up from your Ubud hotel. Then head to your host Dewa and Jero's traditional home in Ubud where you will enjoy an incredible Balinese homecooked meal. Your Balinese feast may include dishes such as pepes ikan (grilled tuna in banana leaves), a delicate and deeply satisfying dish, bumbu kuning (chicken in a fresh turmeric and coconut milk sauce), bregedel (corn fritters), and jukut urab (seasonal vegetables with grated coconut and fried shallots). This is a unique opportunity to get an inside glimpse at Balinese life in a special private home dining experience in a local home. Please note, in keeping with their Balinese family tradition and sense of spirituality, your hosts will not share the meal with you at the dining table. Their preferred approach is to eat on one's own and focus on personal meditation to achieve a positive state of mind.
