This was an exceptional afternoon. Wonderfully organised in a beautiful setting. Staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. Gave each person control over preparation of ingredients and making it each recipe. The farm tour highlighted healthy produce and understanding of sustainable principals. Highly recommend
Our chef Depi was fantastic and made cooking so interesting! She was so knowledgeable about the food and the seasonings and the vegetables! Definitely recommend this instead of a restaurant for a fun evening.
Today we visited the Farm Cooking class. We were conveniently picked up by the Farm transfer by our friendly driver. We were taken to the farm where we received a very warm welcome. We were hosted by the lovely and very knowledgeable Depi. First we were offered some snake skin fruit and fresh coffee, she then showed us around the farm and explained the various organic ingredients grown at the farm and the rationale for using the different ingredients from taste and strength. We then picked our own plants/vegetables that went into the different dishes. Depi showed us how to prepare the different elements using traditional balinese techniques. We made 2 appetisers dishes. 2 main course and a delicious dessert. Depi enjoys her trade and you can tell she is very grateful the farm supports local farming, employs many from the local community which makes the activity not only sustainable for local people but provides a brilliant attraction for tourists. In between tasting the courses we had cooked we were provided sufficient time to enjoy additional refreshments. After a wonderful class we were safely dropped back off into the main ubud area. Would highly recommend for a fun but informative excursion.
Great experience from pickup to local market to organic farm to the cooking class! Made & Luh were so professionell und heartwarming guides. Loved everything & highly recommended :-)
Amazing activity as a couple. Picking some of the vegetables from the farm was fun. The instructors were so sweet and helpful. The meals were tasty.
It was amazing Buda was especially the best he was so helpful and kind the experience was so fun I would definitely recommend
We did the morning cooking class which included a market tour and farm tour to pick fresh vegetables for the cooking class. It was a great experience and I'd highly recommend the morning class so that you get to experience shopping in a real village market - our guide was great and we got to try some wonderful tropical fruit as we went through. We then arrived at the organic biodynanic farm for a tour around and to learn about all the crops that they grow, infusing picking some of the ingredients for the dishes. We made (or helped to make) two starters, three main dishes and dessert, all of which were delicious. If you go as a couple/ family, you do share one stove etc rather than each person having their own and some of the dishes are partially made for you, so while it's still very hands-on, you don't make 100% of the dishes yourself. Still highly recommend - great experience.
The market is a must see part of this experience. Very knowledgable guide and chef. He guided us through a number od dishes that were delicious. The grounds of the farm were exceptional
I joined the evening cooking class and absolutely loved it. The farm is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by lush gardens where we picked some of our own ingredients before cooking. The team was so warm, funny, and knowledgeable — they made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. We cooked several delicious traditional dishes and enjoyed them together as a group, like one big family. Everything was perfectly organized, from the pickup in Ubud to the lovely setting on the farm. Such a memorable and heartwarming evening — highly recommend to anyone visiting Bali! 🌿🍛✨
More than just a cooking class—it’s a chance to dive deep into the culture, learn from the experts, and enjoy an unforgettable day! The morning tour to the local market was a highlight. We walked through the garden, learnt about local growing and farming techniques, and had the chance to pick our own ingredients. The sheltered outdoor cooking space was stunning and so peaceful. The staff were not only skilled but also incredibly engaging and funny, making the entire class fun and interactive. As a beautiful bonus, they put together a video of our group throughout the day. It was such a thoughtful touch, allowing us to relive the memories we made.
Really great experience!! It was great to pick our own veggies to use, as well as learn about the other plants the farm grows. The recipes were easy to follow and all came out so delicious. We made 6 dishes, and you get a copy of the recipes. Wayan was a very knowledgeable and enjoyable teacher. The shuttle bus makes it easy to get to and from, since the farm is located about 40 mins from central Ubud. Definitely recommend 10/10
Really fun thing to do in Bali. We were picked up from Ubud - it is quite a long drive maybe 40 Mins to the farm When we arrived we had a tour of the farm and learnt about the ingredients we would be using and even picked some of the key ones then on to the cookery class We made 2 starters and 3 other dishes. All delicious freshly made and cooked there on the evening. We were in a larger group but cooked and ate as a family and then when finished transported back to Ubud Lovely evening event highly recommended
Excellent authentic cooking class ! Great experience with my daughter from picking the vegetables to cooking the food. We Had a great day!
This cooking class was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Bali. The food we prepared was hands down the best we’ve had during our entire stay – fresh, flavorful, and made with so much love. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the very beginning. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, everything was perfectly clean and well organized. We had so much fun learning and cooking together – it was not only delicious but also a truly joyful and memorable experience. We would do it again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and authentic activity in Bali. Thank you for such a wonderful day!
We had a brilliant experience at Taman Dukuh, the farm cooking school and culinary experience. We were highly recommended this place by a lovely lady in Dubai, whose family owns the farm. We were so pleased with the whole experience. The staff were wonderful and the food was magical. We were able to pick all the fresh ingredients which we were then able to cook with. From start to finish the service was impeccable. Will highly recommend this experience to all my friends and family. Thank you all 🙏
A wonderful experience. Well organised and curated. The food was so delicious made better by picking many of the ingredients yourself just moments beforehand. Depi one of the guides was an outstanding communicator and so fun.
This was a wonderful experience! Depi was our instructor and she was fantastic; so patient, friendly and informative. We, with Depi’s expertise, cooked 3 appetizers, 5 mains and one dessert. What a fabulous culinary experience and an absolute MUST if you’re planning a trip to Ubud! We visited the market first, then went to the farm, picked some of the ingredients needed for our menu, and began our cooking adventure! Highly recommended..
Great activity to do on our honeymoon! Made Purna and the rest of the team were so lovely to chat to and taught us a lot about the local cuisine. Would highly recommend!
Truly exceptional experience, from the market visit to the farm garden harvesting to the well organized cooking experience. We learned a lot and made delicious food. Our guide Wayan also recorded our experience with a fantastic video that he shared with us. I’ve been to many cooking classes around the world and this one is special!
One of the highlight of our holiday. This experience has to be done if you are in Bali. We were a group of 10 people and everyone absolutely loved it..
Great experience and lovely farm. The instructors were awesome and accommodated my son’s nut allergy. The bus could use a good cleaning.
What an incredible experience. The staff are incredibly friendly . Clean facilities . The recipes were great and easy to make.
We did the morning market tour, farm tour and cooking class. We had an amazing time and highly recommend it to all travellers in Ubud. The drive out to the market and farm was really nice, travelling through small villages and beautiful countryside. At the market, we learnt about traditional Balinese fruits and vegetables and sampled some local sweet treats. Once we got to the farm we sat down for coffee, fruit and other treats, then we started the farm tour. It was so nice seeing the organic fruit and vegetables being grown and picking our own food to cook with. The teachers were very knowledgeable about all the food, including what we can use as a substitute if we can't find particular ingredients at home. They were also very friendly and funny. After the tour we started the actual cooking. We made around 5 or 6 dishes and all were delicious. We were given excellent explanations and a lot of guidance which was appreciated. My husband and I chose the vegetarian and vegan option, which was no problem at all, we even received a special vegan version of the recipe book to take home. Everything about the day was fantastic, I hope one day I can go back to do an advanced class. I think a cooking class is the best souvenir you can take home from your holiday!
From pickup point to market tour to the farm tour, excellent communication and revealing the tropical fruits, condiments,spices and vegetables we would use in our cooking. Our guide/chef gave us andvanced knowledge to back up the meals we were going to prepare. We were happy that we opted for the advanced course receiving more attention to detail and easily enjoying the preparation of many, many dishes, followed by the best part, eating tasting and amazing, genuine Balinese food. Atmosphere of the farm and kitchen dining area is so peaceful surrounded by the forest. Friendliness of the staff was amazing and the place is beatifully kept and so clean. We have done many cooking classes all over Australasia and this was by far the best.
We were picked up from our hotel on time. All correspondence was promptly answered. The hosts were very knowledgeable and the gardens beautiful kept and organic. The cooking school fun and delicious
Best cooking class I've ever done. Beautiful permaculture garden where ẃe got to pick fresh vegetables to cook with. Learnt so much during the class and given a work book to take home. So much incredible food to eat at the end. Highly recommend

What an amazing and informative cooking class. The trip to the market was educational and the ranch where the cooking class takes place was beautiful. The cooking instructors were very attentive and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this class to other people.
Lovely location. Fantastic staff - super friendly, very helpful. The class is well organized and a lot of fun. Personally I would have liked it to be a bit more challenging. I really would have liked to have learned something new. But despite that I can recommend. As a solo traveller I really enjoyed talking to the other couples there and I was happy to get out of the tourist craziness of Ubud
This tour exceeded my expectations. The day was perfect the farm was beautiful and the market visit was great. The food we cooked was delicious. The value was outstanding. I think they should charge more as we had so much food to eat. Thank you for such a great day.
What a hoot! Yes, it was educational, we foraged for ingredients in the beautiful garden (all those vanilla plants...sigh..), I learnt to make some of my fave Balinese dishes and eat them but it was Wayan Buda, our instructor, who made it all so much fun! Thanks for a fab afternoon
The farm was great and the instructors were very helpful. The visit to the Market was also good as we got to try different types of fruit that we had never seen before. ALL of the food we prepared was very tasty and delicious.
Great setting , lovely staff and wonderful food. Couldn’t ask for more. Loved licking own vegetables from the garden .
If we could give it more than 5* we would. An amazing, brilliant, great value, excellent quality experience. Picking up in UbUd, the drive through the rice terraces, the visit to the local market and the beautiful location of the school. Thevteachwrs wete excellent. The food we cooked delicious. Met some lovely people. Just can’t recommend this experience highly enough
Thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon at the cooking school. Recommend if staying in UBUD. Lovely surrounding and instructor was very knowledgeable and the food was delicious
The two women who looked after our tour and cooking class on May 15th were great! We started off in the local markets, then to the farm to pick our own vegetables, and then finally the cooking. The dishes were very tasty and we wiped the plate clean! It was very inclusive for everyone whether you c all yourself a cook or not. The staff made it really fun, entertaining and easy. Would highly recommend!
We really enjoyed ourselves. Although when we were picked up from our hotel we were told we were not able to go to the market. Other people in the class had gone to the market. It may have been a miscommunication but we were a little disappointed. Overall great class!!
Hard to pick the most memorable part... it was all good. Driving through the lush countryside with a great bunch of people, seeing how things grow, picking our own veggies, expert and funny cooking instructors, and the delicious food that we cooked and ate. I thoroughly recommend this class.
Thanks so much for a wonderful cooking experience, Bali Farm Cooking School ! We had a great day with you and really enjoyed the whole experience. Your staff is lovely and we learned so much from them. The food we cooked was awsome and the location of the farm with school is unique. We definitely recommend every Bali visitor who wants to take a cooking class to go and book with you! 💚
A very good experience with this team. Just the right mix of information and time to absorb. They were very well organised and we created some food that I would never have attempted on my own! Works very well as a couple and they paired up everyone.
The gardens are lovely. The cooking was fun, but doing the firefly watch with Depi and her uncle and going to their home was our favorite more intimate part. Thank you for the wonderful Balinese hospitality.
I met some wonderful people ... workers and other participants. The cooking process was excellently presented and I learnt a lot.
Really great fun. Visited local market, learnt about some of the produce and then onto the farm for a tour and cooking. Loved the recipes and techniques. The cookbook provided will be a regular reference at home.
Starting with the excellent market tour. very informative with tastings. You try they buy. Then the farm tour and picking, again exceptional. My 17 yo son took over the cooking and had an awesome time cooking 2 entre',3 mains & 1 dessert. Absolutely no rush. They helped finish of toward the end of day and we finished tour 1.5 hours after we were meant to finish but this was no problem, in fact we liked. take this into account and be flexible with Bali time. Great cook book with the precise recipes and instructions provided in hardcopy and to take away as well as YouTube video instructions link provided. And more, your own video produced FREE as well provided. Best people. Sempai jumpa lagi. Mr Peter, Shae & Brayden Spencer (Central Queensland, Australia)
A fantastic experience. Deliciois food, great people, well organised. Two teenagers loved it as much as we did.
This farm is really authentic and located in The middle of jungle 👍 Lessons were good, food really delicious and teachers are really nice. I got some New ideas of foodstuff how to Make it at home 😋 The only minus is that it could Be little shorter and include less cutting of The onions and chiles. I mean that with appetizers it good to cut them all by studendt and learn how to do IT but with main courses those could Be preperet and minced by the staff, so stundent could have More energi and Time to concentrate on The new things like The new and unknown ingrediensies and how to Combine those to Make and Get New food experiences.
Such a fantastic tour! Truly. From the market visit, to the farm, to the prep and cooking. AND the best part -- eating. Was such an amazing experience. The guides were so kind and fun to be around. Left smiling ear-to-ear.
We had an incredible time at the Taman Dukah Farm Cooking School . We started the morning off with a tour of local markets and an opportunity to learn about and try some local fruits, vegetables and spices then we traveled to the farm which is so beautiful. Our guides were amazing so knowledgeable and fun. We had a tour of their crops and were given the opportunity to pick some of the ingredients for our cooking lesson direct from the garden. My partner and I elected to cook vegetarian meals we made 4 dishes altogether and they were delicious. I would highly recommend doing this whilst in Ubud. My partner is not a cook and was apprehensive but he thought it was one of the best things we have ever done on our many trips to Bali.
This was such a great day! The guides/chefs took us around a Balinese farm and taught us all about the local flora. It was so beautiful and informative! We got to pick many of our ingredients directly from the farm and then cook them up right there. The staff made the entire experience so fun and the food was delicious! I highly recommend this excursion!!
It was a great experience. The fresh Vegetables from the Garten, great People they help you all the Time. Musst do!
