Just a 10 minute drive from the Ubud Art Market, if you follow google maps you will arrive at the family home turned business of Puspa and Wayan the owners of Paon Bali Cooking Class.

We always choose to rent scooters, which start at around 50,000 IDR per day, and explore ourselves.

However be sure to read up on our renting a scooter in Bali guide beforehand!

From the use of local ingredients, to traditional preparation methods, the whole experience is run in a modern and fully equipped community village kitchen. Which also doubles up as an extension of their family home.

If you opt for the morning class, your day starts early at the Ubud markets, where you can pick from fresh herbs & spices, crisp vegetables and choice cuts of meat, before heading off on guided ‘padi’ expeditions.

Upon your return to Laplapan village, you will be warmly welcomed and expertly guided by your host, Puspa, who will help you to discover how to create your very own delicious authentic Balinese dishes.

The afternoon class does not include the market shopping.

Paon Bali Cooking Class Ubud Cooking Class — The team ready for their Bali cooking class

The cooking class itself is semi hands on and provides plenty of teaching methods. More satisfyingly though, it provides a wonderful meal to share with everyone at the end.

On the day we visited there were a total of 8 guests cooking, and it was an awesome team building exercise as well as a sensation of tastes and new flavours for the palate.

From creating peanut sauce to frying tofu, everything we cooked we ate and thoroughly enjoyed!

This was a great day spent in Ubud, and one thing we would highly recommend that you definitely shouldn’t miss on your Bali itinerary.
