Balinese Vegan Cooking Class With Fresh Harvesting & Garden Tour

We’ve done lots of cooking classes in Bali, but this was one of the best. The food was incredible- recipes we haven’t made before and ALL vegan which was perfect for us. The team were entertaining and friendly and the setting is absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!

Amazing small-scale vegan cooking class. You start with a tour in their impressive organic garden, the guide is very knowledgeable about the fruits, vegetables and spices and how exactly they keep it organic. The cooking class is very interesting, does not feel rushed at all, and you get the recipe book afterwards! And of course, you get to eat what you cooked, from appetizer to dessert. The environment is also very peaceful. Would highly recommend for vegans AND non vegans!

The cooking class was one of a kind exceptional. The whole place is tranquil magic defined. Kris and her team gave us a comprehensive and fun cooking class which we thorougly enjoyed. The food we made was heavenly even non vegans in our group loved it. We liked the place so much we returned for dinner the next day. Amazing setting and experience in the lush nature of Sidemen. If you are in the area it is a must do. Suksma Kris for everything!

This was my favourite experience in Sidemen. The guide Kris was excellent with great English and knowledge about the whole process. She was helpful while allowing us to do plenty to contribute to the beautiful 4 courses we made. We enjoyed the traditional lunch we made and it was even better knowing we made it ourselves.

It was a really great experience. Febri, our lovely cooking „teacher“ was so engaged. We collected herbs in the organic garden by ourself, together with Febri, before cooking. We can recommend 110%🫶

Exceptional experience! Gathered veg from on site organic garden. Our hosts were so helpful, kind & fun. Such a wonderful opportunity to learn traditional vegan recipes. The restaurant and garden absolutely Beautiful 😍

Amazing cooking class with Asthary and her assistant. Very nice tour of the garden, and the explanations during the cooking class were easy to follow. Very interesting to explore ourselves Balinese cuisine, and we will for sure redo it at home as the dishes were delicious but not that difficult. Thanks again.

This cooking class one of the highlights of our time in Sidemen. The experience began with a tour of the organic farm, where we picked many of the fresh ingredients we'd be using before returning to the kitchen to prepare everything from scratch. We learned how to make bumbu, the traditional Balinese spice paste that forms the base of so many dishes, and used it to create a delicious selection of food. We made an appetiser, a comforting soup, tomato sauce, battered aubergine, sweet potato, tempeh and soy, and finished with dadar gulung for dessert. Leny and Padma were knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, explaining each step and sharing the stories behind the ingredients and recipes. Although we're not vegan, every dish was packed with flavour and proved that Balinese vegan food can be incredibly varied and satisfying. We'll definitely be recreating these recipes at home. A fantastic experience that I'd highly recommend.

This is a beautiful place tucked away in Sidemen Bali. Fabulous Balinese Vegan cooking class where the organic garden is where the food comes from.

The cooking class was such a great experience from the pristine setting, the welcoming and informative staff to the exquisite feast at the end. We picked our organic ingredients direct from the surrounding gardens and learned so much along the way. Prepping and cooking was so much fun and the outcome … the best Balinese food I have ever eaten.

When I was planning my birthday trip to Bali with my mom, I knew I wanted to experience a vegan Balinese cooking class. When I found this tour, I knew it was perfect for me. I love that it is on an organic farm, and we were able to pick our own ingredients before cooking. We felt relaxed and one with nature. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly. Even though my mom isn’t a vegan, we both enjoyed every minute of our beautiful experience. All the food was delicious, and we loved learning about Balinese cuisine while helping to prepare our own meals!!! This is a must-do for someone who loves nature, learning about other cultures, and eating healthy, delicious food!! We didn’t want to leave!!! Thank you, Anandinii Organic Garden and Kitchen!! We are already sharing our incredible experiences.

The whole experience was lovely, beautiful setting and the food we cooked was delicious. Generous portions so everyone was very full at the end!

Highly recommend the cooking class at Anandii. I loved absolutely everything. The tour through their garden, cropping ingredients from the garden, the cooking itself and the amazing, sweet people. The food was all vegan and organic and it was simply wonderful!

Loved this vegan cooking class! We started by picking fresh veggies and herbs from the garden, then turned them into a full meal from starter to dessert. The instructor was friendly and made everything easy to follow. The dishes were colorful, creative, and surprisingly simple to make. A fun, relaxed way to learn and eat great food — highly recommend!

So grateful I discovered this gem of a place online before we made our way to Bali & had my heart set on making my way in our short time in Sideman... The grounds and gardens are beyond beautiful and immaculately maintained, the staff are incredibly kind & generous of heart & the food, delish. We made our way for a light bite & a (wonderful) QiGong class (highly highly recommend) & stayed for the garden tour & cooking class & to feast on our (delicious) creations. We were guided through the gardens, harvesting and meal prep by our warm and gracious hosts and had a fantastic time. We loved it so much we returned the next day for massages in the riverside sanctuary and dinner. If you are anywhere near, make your way… so so loved our time here. Truly a treasure found… dreaming of returning.

Wonderful experience-fresh ingredients, soulful recipes & lots of plant-based magic! A hidden gem and the staff is so lovely

had such a great time at this vegan cooking class! The food was absolutely delicious — flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Even as someone who isn’t fully vegan, I was genuinely impressed by how satisfying and creative the dishes were. The host was excellent — warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about plant-based cooking. They created a welcoming and relaxed environment, making it easy for everyone to participate and learn, regardless of cooking experience. I came away with new skills, great recipes, and a deeper appreciation for vegan cuisine. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to expand their culinary horizons or simply enjoy a fun and tasty experience!

What a wonderful day!! Firstly collection ingredients from the garden and then learning to cook a four course beautiful meal. The staff make Anandinii, they are so warm and funny. Such a fun experience!!

A must-do in Bali! This cooking class at Anandinii Organic Garden & Kitchen in Sidemen was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality. The experience began with a walk through their beautiful garden, where we picked fresh herbs and vegetables ourselves – a magical way to connect with the ingredients. The class itself was incredibly well organized, full of laughter, and deeply informative. Chris and Febby are not only talented cooks but also wonderful teachers. They explained every step with patience and clarity, and their English is excellent, which made everything easy to follow and even more enjoyable. Beyond the food – which was absolutely delicious – we learned so much about Balinese culture and traditions. It was much more than a cooking class; it was an authentic cultural experience that touched our hearts. We are so grateful to have met these amazing people and to have shared such a special day with them. They truly put their heart into everything they do. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bali – you won’t regret it. Thank you Chris, Febby, and the entire team at Anandinii Organic Garden & Kitchen for an unforgettable day!

The 2 girls pebre and chris ( spelt wrong im sure) were amazing and so fun! They made the whole experience so much better. The food was amazing and we had a great time learning and seeing all the freshly grown herbs and veges onsite. Would highly recommend.

The day started with a walk around the gardens collecting fresh produce along the way. Good explanations of food growing in the gardens and culinary and medicinal uses. Hosts were lovely and explained well step by step the processes to follow. Good humour. Meal was delicious and overall a lovely ‘garden to plate’ experience. Highly recommend

Wonderful cooking class and the people there are super super nice. It's a magical place, I highly recommend visiting it.

Aanandinii restaurant 💓 Never had a vegan hamburger so tasteful. This place and food is a gem! 😇💞🙏🏼 We will come back !!!!!!!!!!

Fun and educative! We started with a garden tour in which we harvested our own ingredients. The dishes were traditional Balinese and the people are very friendly and helpful. A must when visiting Sidemen!

I ended up being the only one in the class but loved every minute of it. The staff was more than helpful and welcoming. I learned a lot about Balinese food and cooking and the food was DELICIOUS! I will be continuing to cook some of these recipes!

An amazingly tasty vegan food, dedicated and very friendly staff! The vegetable and herbs garden is gorgeous, very well kept. A very zen place to spend a day in a cooking class, or a massage, or a yoga class, and having a healthy meal.

Amazing experience with great food. Ambience in heavenly with organic garden. Staff is very friendly and courteous. Food preparation is awesome.

The vegan cooking class at Amandinii was the best thing we did while in Sideman. The complex has the most beautiful gardens and it was a delight to tour them while learning more about Balinese plants. The cooking class itself was conducted by two lovely Balinese ladies who were so friendly, informative and helpful. The lunch that followed (made up of the food we’d cooked) was DELICIOUS and a wonderful insight into healthy, yummy Balinese vegan food. A huge thank you to Amandinii for a brilliant experience. We would highly recommend you add this to your Sideman itinerary

The most beautiful experience. We did the traditional balinese vegan cooking class with Iyis who was amazing. We picked vegetables from the beautiful gardens where they are grown, and made the most delicious 4 course meal, which we later enjoyed. Words can't describe how perfect everything was... the food, the energy, the relaxing atmosphere in the most beautiful location and views of sidemen. The staff were all so friendly throughout and made the entire experience a very special and memorable one. We will be back. Thank you so much.

Had an amazing experience today! Staff and food absolutely amazing with beautiful views. Iyis and Wyan in particular so attentive and friendly. Recommend!

Tasty locally produced food full of different flavours! The place is authentic and well hidden with amazing surroundings and savage nature. Real pleasure and a MUST to visit!

Great to be able to return here for a second visit. A year later and the garden has expanded in size and interest; Wayan remains a great and patient teacher as we produced a wide variety of dishes using freshly harvested ingredients in a blissful landscape and atmosphere. A must do activity when staying in Sidemen and nearby.

Yesterday, we had a cooking class at Anandinii and we loved it. It was actually just us 3, so we kind of had a private cooking class. We picked our own vegetables, could cut and grind our spices and could actually cook our own buffet. The staff was really nice and the food was amazing so this was a perfect activity. You get a 4 course menu and the vegetables are picked when in season, which is amazing. 10/10 on everything. They also ask about any allergies or intolerance and can change parts of the menu to cater to those cases.

Wonderful cooking class : we started by harvesting the ingredients in the organic garden and then we prepared a 4-course menu in the open air kitchen. It was an unforgettable experience, Wayan and Iyis the cooks were really kind and provided all necessary explanations, and we enjoyed hands-on practice.They were kind enough to take a lot of pictures of us cooking. It was adapted to our child of 11. We loved the delicious food we prepared in the traditional Balinese style. Thank you so much Anandinii team !!!

Whatever your cooking experience, this class is a must if you would like to learn the flavours of balinese cuisine. Beautiful gardens with beautiful staff who took great care to ensure we were enjoying our time.

Wow! Our experience at the cooking class was amazing. We had a tour of the beautiful organic garden and got to pick some of the ingredients we would cook with later. Then, we prepared our 4 course vegan lunch! Wayan was so brilliant, very knowledgeable, perfect English, and helped us cook delicious food! The gardens and restaurant are the perfect setting to learn some basic Balinese cooking skills. Photos of our morning were sent to us as well. Really really lovely, wholesome experience. Food was so tasty too! Would recommend a million percent.

Incredible garden to plate vegan cooking experience. The staff are lovely, and the Balinese dishes we made were divine. Highly recommend!

My sister and I did the afternoon vegan cooking class. Firstly a tour of their organic vegetable gardens where we picked various different vegetables to use in our class. The cooking class was amazing. Everything was explained step by step. We chopped, pounded, whisked, dipped and fried. Guided all the way. We then sat down and enjoyed our efforts as a dinner. My absolute favourites were the green papaya soup and the pandam pancakes filled with fresh coconut and palm sugar. The staff were great, friendly and lots of fun and laughter. Needless to say many photos were taken. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic experience.! Staff Is very kind, food Is really good, the restaurant Is beautiful and so Is surrounding nature!

Fantastic team in a breathtaking location. The entire team made us feel so welcome and every detail of the activity was so well planned. We stared with a tour of the organic garden, picking herbs, fruits and vegetables for our meal. We then had a team of three lovely & chatting local women guide us through the cooking of our 4-course meal. At the end of the cooking, a table had been set for us and we were offered a coconut to drink with our meal. Super serene setting, surrounded by rice paddies and forest, we will not forget this experience and will be telling everyone about it!

When you think you have seen all of sidemen, at the end of a road lies Anandinii...a stunning oasis in the middle of beautiful nature. Here they have a 101 vegetable, fruit, rice and spice garden. Before going into the cooking class, you will gather the necessary ingredients yourself. The enthusiasm of the ladies guiding us was infectious and very enjoyable. The cooking class was great! So many vegetables and spices prepared, you get so many new ideas on how to use them. I had a fantastic day, learned a lot about vegan Balinese cuisine. The highlight, of course, is also eating everything made yourself. Highly recommended, icing on the cake of my visit to fantastically beautiful Sidemen.

What a wonderful experience it was to walk into the lush green vegetable garden in Sideman. We learned a lot about typical Indonesian ingredients. The pace of the class was great, and it was easy to follow. In the end, you get the experience of eating the food (Flavour Bomb!) in a very laid-back restaurant with spiritual massage music playing in the background, which was amazing. We enjoyed the view, and lovely Ana and Novi made our day. It's a wonderful green vegan project, and we would highly recommend going there!

Super lovely people showing us some delicious and easy recipes. Very mellow environment. Such a peaceful place. Recommend for a low key activity

The most beautiful, magical place with a view of mt Agung, the river, mountains and a wonderful garden and such a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were all super friendly and the cooking workshop was fun and informative, and really authentic. You get a lot of food and there’s a lot of care put into everything! Amazing place, amazing time 🥰 Oh, and the food was veeeeery tasty!!

Amazing place, a hidden gem. Views are breathtaking, food delicious and super friendly staff And the garden is so lovely, all organic.

Wonderful day! We had so much fun cooking up an absolute feast with the lovely team at Anandinii! Would highly recommend taking the time for this cooking class during your stay in sideman. It’s been one of the highlights of our trip!

What a wonderful experience I had! I had a private cooking class and it was even more than I expected. The staff is very friendly and will give you a tour of their grounds, a beautiful place in the green. The staff will explain everything to you about cooking but also about their culture. I hope to come back soon. I will never forget this experience, thank you!! :-)

This was my first Vegan cooking ever and I was absolutely amazed how simple and tasty it all was. Will have to do more classes in the future.

This was an amazing experience, from picking the vegetables, preparing, cooking and eating. The end product was delicious and the instructors were fun! I highly recommend it, My wife was very surprised when I suggested doing this.
