This class was great fun! Very well prepared and conducted, gorgeous ingredients, deep insights into Tempe making. We could try out the whole process ourselves, taste a variety of fresh and ready-made goods; all with the charming, knowledgable and funny founder (the TempeMan himself). I absolutely recommend this class! ( I did both tempé making and tempé & chocolate making)

Booked: Creative Tempe Chocolate Making

A very wholesome experience thoroughly enjoyed by our family, including my 5 year old. He enjoyed fishing and helping get fresh coconuts from trees and learning about how different foods grow. The hospitality and warmth of the hosts was incredible and a wonderful welcome change from all the superficial tourist-y experiences. The communication was great from the moment I booked and pick up and drop off went smoothly too. We loved the food, the people, the conversations and would love to go back.

It was absolutely incredible. Flawless transport and once we got there the host were so welcoming and kind. They were so informative and answered all questions. Every element of the trip was perfect and we had zero complaints. Couldn’t recommend this any more than the above! Fantastic for culture, unique experience and local hosts.

Really enjoyed the farm-to-table concept where we could harvest fresh produce right from the garden at the same compound as the cooking school. I liked that cooking was done in pairs, made the experience more fun and engaging. If you’re looking to experience local Balinese cuisine while making friends from all over the world this is it!
