About this experience
Experience the authentic flavors of Bali with a sanur Balinese Cooking Class and Traditional Market Tour, a cultural and culinary journey that takes you beyond the typical tourist experience. This immersive program allows you to explore local ingredients, learn traditional cooking techniques, and prepare classic Balinese dishes guided by an experienced local chef.
You’ll discover the secrets behind Bali’s rich flavors—aromatic galangal, fresh turmeric root, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, candle nuts, and palm sugar. You’ll learn how these ingredients are combined into Base Genep, Bali’s sacred spice paste used in many traditional recipes. This market visit is not just about shopping—it’s about understanding how food connects to Balinese culture, community, and spirituality.
