Balinese Cooking Class In Seminyak

Cooking up a storm at Amala 🌶️🥥 Such a fun day learning to cook Balinese food with chef Putu , having a laugh and eating our efforts! A little holiday inspiration to take home… 🌴 Don’t skip the market tour ! It was so interesting

My friend and I booked a cooking class with Chef Putu and his assistant Rendi and they were both amazing! The cooking adventure started with excellent car service from our hotel in a beautiful and air conditioned car, then we were brought to the Amala which is its own private wellness destination. We were given the best fresh juices we’ve had the whole trip. The menu was tailored slightly to accommodate both of our dietary requirements and the chef was able to accommodate easily while still giving both of us a top tier experience. Chef Putu walked us through all of the ingredients for each dish and steps to complete it and Rendi was right there to make the whole experience move seamlessly. Rendi was able to anticipate the chef’s needs before they were even needed. Very impressive! I honestly am blown away by how delicious the meal was and how lovely of an afternoon we had. The location is serene and peaceful and the staff were very warm and welcoming. I can’t recommend this cooking experience enough!

Awesome experience with chef Kadek and Toni, food is amazing would definitely try another class!

We went with our 14 year old some that loves to cook... but a bit of a septic about Balinese cooking! Mika and Tony gave us one of the most amazing cooking experiences that we ALL loved and the result... An absolutely delicious 3 course lunch. Yum. Highly recommended.

From the pick up to the last bite everything was well presented and all of the staff went above and beyond to make it a great experience. The food was delicious and learning about the Bali ingredients and the substitutions will help me replicate this meal at home. Special thanks to Chef Kadek and his sous chef Manik.

A very nice experience provided by Chef Kadek and Pandu. They were very accommodating, professional and kind. There were 3 adults and 2 kids. It was my son's birthday and at the end all the staff came out and surprised him with a cake. Very nice! Definitely recommend this and we will do it again for sure when back in Bali.

Excellent experience at a luxury location. The chef and his assistant and all of the wait staff were wonderful. Be careful if you are gluten-free and/or vegetarian, though. The staff was not all versed in those needs. A note for those on the fence: I could skip the fish market - it was a quick, smelly stop after a longish car ride. Very immersive, but also not terribly appealing or sanitary for those who may be concerned.

We had an amazing experience with Chef Kadek and assistant chef Eri. The market visit was fantastic to start the class, would highly recommend to book this as well. Chef Kadek explained all of the recipes very well and the food tasted fabulous. Eri cooked the satay skewers to perfection. The tuna from the market was delicious, even my non fish eating husband and son loved it! Would highly recommend this experience, well above 5 stars!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our class. Learnt so much & our meal was delicious. Will be making the curry paste a lot at home. Chef Wiro & assistant Eri were wonderful & made the class so much fun.

Delicious food and fun experience! Will be making at home for sure

Very friendly staff who looked after us nicely. A fun evening afterall. The setting is in tranquil and lovely place with a memorable experience. Dessert was delicious! Steamed fish was overcooked unfortunately. Cocktails were not that great. Prices are steep but I guess we pay for the venue.

Chef Puku and Manik were amazing!

Our cooking class experience with Chef Putu and Eri was amazing! They were very kind to accommodate a private cooking session for my husband and I. The class was fun and easy to follow, and the dishes turned out amazing. Overall just a fab experience. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing - would thoroughly recommend this class

What a genuine cooking experience! The Chefs did a great job in teaching us how to make several Balinese dishes from first principles. The experience was really enjoyable, meeting new people, great conversation and the lovely food. The environment was so exotic and peaceful. Well worth the visit.

Great class, can highly recommend Thank you to Chef Sudarmika and Randu for teaching us Balinese style cooking. Much appreciated

Amazing class, lovely guide and staff. I will be cooking this at home all the time!

Wonderful cooking experience with Chef Putu. Thank you again! We cooked menu 2 and it was delicious! Highly recommend.

We booked this experience being lovers of food and different cultures and wanted something to try that was not standard tourist activity. We started with chef kadek picking us up from our villa followed by a tour of the markets before returning to cook and prepare an amazing 3 course lunch. We had Chef and assistant manlk prepare amazing dishes. This experience we couldn’t rate high enough if you love food culture and something different away from the pace of mainstream this is a must. Great time had and would do it again. Thanks to the team.

I couldn’t imagine a better Balinese cooking lesson. Essentially a private class with a chef and an assistant that teach you about the ingredients, how to best prepare them, and then provide practical tips throughout. The food was fantastic and I will certainly be making it when I get home. Many thanks to Chef Wira and his assistant Pandhu for such a memorable experience!

The whole experience was excellent with learning the different spices and then learning how to prepare each dish. Chef Putu was very informative and took time to explain each step. We then got to sit down and eat each dish. We received a certificate at the end and got to keep our aprons. I highly recommend it!

Chef Wira and assistant miss Manik is amazing and it was really fun!

We had a wonderful experience at this Balinese cooking class. Chef Wira and assistant Manik were both friendly, patient, and very helpful throughout the session. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and the whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it!

What an experience! So, so good. Authentic, fun and hands on. Highly recommend to add the fresh fish market.. it was super cool to see where the fish is coming from, pretty harbour with all the colourful boats. Then the location for the class is like a day spa but with food.. ! Do NOT eat breakfast.. so much delicious to food to eat at a private dining table amongst the water features. Full bar menu available is that is your vibe.. staff are very attentive.. Chef Putu and Wulan are lovely, good English and gentle manner.. with a touch of humour.. THIS is the cooking class to do when in Bali! Thank you!

Guswira and Toni were very friendly and knowledgeable. Our family had a great time, and it was a very comfortable environment

Guswira and Toni were awesome and friendly guides 🙂 and the food was amazing!

Chef wira and pandu were amazing! Genuinely such a fun family experience. Food was incredible too

Excellent experience!! We incorporated a market visit which was amazing. The cooking class was also super kid friendly for my 12-14 year old boys!

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic cooking experience with Chef Wira & Manik. Under Chef Wira's guidance, we prepared fresh ingredients into a restaurant grade meal which we lovingly enjoyed afterwards. It was a real treat 👏👏👏😊

We like to go to attend a local cooking class when we travel....usually more than one. This class at the Amala was exceptional. Very professional, well paced and inclusive. Chef Putu and his assistant Wulan were wonderful. We took the option of going out to the markets beforehand and saw the fresh produce and fish. So interesting for us as we live in inland NZ. Then we were served lunch, the food we helped cook. So much food!! Our mistake was to have had breakfast before. This was a great experience and great value.

What a wonderful experience! Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed this. A beautiful setting in the garden, very peaceful and relaxing. Chef Kadek and helper Manik were terrific. Delicious food we can now cook at home. We’ll do it again for sure. Thank you!

Picked up on time and driver and chef very welcoming. The market we went to was just fish and nothing else which was a bit disappointing. Weren't there long as we seemed to get in everyone's way. Cooking was very very basic and underwhelming. Nice to eat it all after but we didn't feel we learnt very much unfortunately. Left to ourselves very quickly after the cooking and just kind of went back to our villa. They did supply the transport back which was nice. Nothing wrong with the experience but for the amount of money we paid we did hope for more than just cutting up garlic and shallots. Expensive and a quite disappointing.

Amazing experience! We enjoyed it so much.

Great private cooking class. We were collected from our hotel in a luxury car. The resort that the class is held in is very relaxing and picturesque. Chef Kadek & assistant Wulan were lovely and the food itself was wonderful. Would recommend!

Chef Kadal and Sintya are so nice. Highly recommend！

Thank you for a wonderful experience in beautiful surrounds. Chef Wira and Evi were excellent hosts and we had lots of fun. Too much food to eat at the end!

Chef Wira and Evi were absolutely amazing. Both were so friendly and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for the session. The food was delicious and worked well with my dietary requirements. We will definitely be trying them at home! All of the staff were very welcoming and the venue was lovely, would highly recommend.

Chef Sudarmika and Assistant Rendi were very helpful and we had a great time cooking yummy traditional Balinese food. This is a very recommedable experience.

Had a great balinese cooking experience with Chef Kadek and Manik! It was just me and my wife so the class was very private. The menu was a great way to experience cooking Balinese food - including making a sambal chili paste that we will then use in a soup and satay. Chef Kadek was very accommodating, helpful and entertaining, as was Manik's service supporting him. They also accommodated changes to the ingredients to ensure I was safe and could still enjoy the class and meal with my peanut allergy. When the class ended we enjoyed our cooked meal poolside in a very relaxing atmosphere. Definitely recommend this experience!

It was well explained and we had a fun time cooking . Our chef was Kadek and his assistant was Manik who made sure it was light hearted and an enjoyable experience.

We had an awesome time at the markets & cooking class and we would absolutely recommend to our friends and family. Putu and Ari were fantastic hosts and made it a memorable experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed this with the entire family. Great food lead by great people who involved our children every step of the way also. Well done to Chef Sudarmika and Assistant Wisnu

Wonderful experience learning from Chef Putu and assistant Manik, got to eat the delicious foods we chose off the menu to help prepare, and learned so much that we can’t wait to try at home ☺️ Thankyou so much, we loved the experience!

Staff, Chef Wira and assist Eka, were fabulous. Very friendly, kind and helpful. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend.

Very accomodating and friendly staff, nice and clean environment, really yummy 3 course meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a wonderful time at this cooking course. Chef Kadek and assistant chef Ari were both very friendly, helpful, and explained everything clearly. The food was delicious and we learned a lot about traditional Balinese cooking and ingredients. It was a really fun and memorable experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Bali.

We loved our Balinese cooking class. It was a relaxed atmosphere and there was only 3 participants, this meant we all got to cook and ask plenty of questions. The head chef was lovely.

This was sensational. Highly recommend. Chef Mika and Wishnu were great. The market visit was a highlight as was the menu we cooked. The staff at the Amala were also fantastic.

Unbelievably beautiful location, awesome staff (Wira and Rendi), easy to understand and clear instructions and hands on cooking
