Book NowAbout Jambangan Bali cooking class
Skip the sterile demonstration kitchens—this hands-on session puts you straight to work inside an authentic family compound. Morning starts with hotel transport out to a bustling produce market and coffee stop before heading into the ancestral warung. Stone mortars get plenty of action grinding fresh spice bases for chicken satay, banana-leaf parcels, and sticky glazed tempeh. You will tackle a full banquet from raw scratch ingredients, wrapping up with plates piled high over garden views.
- Market & plantation start: Guided stops at a local morning market and coffee plantation introduce raw spices before kitchen prep begins.
- Traditional family compound: Classes unfold inside an ancestral family residential compound and garden rather than a commercial studio.
- Hands-on scratch cooking: Students grind spice pastes by stone mortar and cook every course from scratch, ending in a shared feast.
