Begin your experience by meeting your host and heading to a local organic garden. Harvest fresh vegetables and forage for wild edible plants to enhance your cooking experience.

Next, prepare 6 traditional Balinese dishes. Explore the secrets of Balinese cuisine and its exotic flavours with this culinary experience. The menu will depend on the season and what’s available in the garden and food forest.

The women will guide you through the preparation of dishes using the freshest ingredients, traditional cooking tools, just as they do in local homes and villages. Learn some tips and tricks from them on how to use exotic spices in your cooking and discover their benefits.

Afterwards, indulge yourself in culinary pleasures while enjoying your lunch with a beautiful view overlooking the fascinating surroundings with your host.
