Review Body: We loved our cookery course. From farm to table, we picked vegetables and learned about how various plants are grown. Then we started from scratch, making magic Balinese paste, and many courses - soup, salad, steamed tofu, tempura and dessert. We had a great instructor, who taught us skills, but also we learned lots about Balinese cooking in general. What a fun day in stunning scenery! On a side note, Sidemen is a beautiful village and I would recommend staying at least overnight to get a feel for it (but it’s also possible to travel from Ubud which we did).

Review Body: At the end of our amazing afternoon spent in the lovely garden and the lovely kitchen, I asked to Wayan, our guide of the day, what’s the meaning of Anandinii, and he said “happiness”. It perfectly described our experience, we loved everything from the beginning until the end. All has been so genuine, ingredients and smiles, that we can just be greatful to meet these passionate girls and boys who tirelessly helped us meeting more Balinese culture at its most inner heart. Terima kasih to all of them

Review Body: Me and my family did the Balinese cooking course here yesterday and it was AMAZING! We were shown the huge garden first and hand picked some ingredients, then we helped wayan and the guys to prepare everything. They gave us so much information along the way and were super helpful and great teachers! The food was so so yummy and different to a lot of the stuff I've had in Bali the past 10 months which was refreshing. I can't recommend it enough! Thanks to all the guys that made it so good!!

Review Body: First we went to the private garden to pick our own vegetables and herbs. Then we went to a lovely outdoor kitchen to prepare the herbs. They are the basics for all the food. After the cooking we ate all of it (5 courses, soup, appetizers, main, fruit and dessert). It was all great, the organization, people, surroundings and the food and we had a lovely morning. We recommend it to everyone who likes cooking and Balinese food! - Marijn, Kim and Esther

Review Body: I loved this class! The setting was divine. Febri was a confident talented teacher and Padma a great assistant. The food was exceptional (I too am a vegan chef) I wanted to learn some Balinese flavour tips and was not disappointed. It was an educational fun experience and I met some lovely people. Eating at the end of the day was such a delightful treat. This is more than a class; it’s an experience you will not forget!

Review Body: Wonderful experience. The location is absolutely stunning with the beautiful farm/garden. We cooked with their organic produce and everything turned out delicious. The cooking was fun and I learned some new things and the staff was very lovely. Would absolutely recommend this class, even if you are not vegan it’s worth it for the fantastic location.

Review Body: You must do this cooking course if you are staying in Sideman!! It was the highlight of our trip. We arrived into the traditional hut by the river and learnt how to cook the most amazing Balinese vegan food. Having a tour of their organic farm first and picking our own ingredients was very special. Even the fruits came straight off the trees.

Review Body: The tour of the garden was amazing and all of the hosts/chefs were kind, funny and made this experience great! My big cons are the lack of diversity in the dishes you cook. There was also a few fried items. This is not something I would make at home and I also think there could be more creativity. The only fresh vegetables used were green beans and tomatoes. Overall a great experience in a beautiful setting with very knowledgeable staff. The food was not as impressive as I was hoping though.

Harvest and cook Balinese food in a quiet Sidemen garden
Traditional Balinese cooking is at its best when it’s truly farm-to-table. But as food production in Bali becomes more industrialised, that connection is getting harder to find. This Seek Sophie plant-based cooking class takes you into an organic garden, where you’ll pick produce and turn whatever is fresh that day into Balinese dishes. You don’t need to be vegan—the food here is really yummy! Our favourite part is the setting: Sidemen is basically Ubud before mass tourism. The garden is a real part of the experience, not just a pretty setting. You’ll learn about the produce as you harvest it, then cook alongside local chefs who show you how classic Balinese recipes can be adapted without losing their depth or flavour. Guests often mention that the dishes feel refreshingly different from the more familiar food they’ve been eating around Bali.After cooking, you’ll sit down to eat in the middle of the garden, with open views across Sidemen and glimpses of Mount Agung. What to Expect3.5-hour join-in cooking class in SidemenGuided walk through an organic garden with fresh harvestingHands-on cooking using traditional Balinese utensilsLearn how classic Balinese dishes are reworked into vegan versionsEnjoy the 4-course meal you helped prepareGarden dining with views of the surrounding landscape and Mount AgungInfused drinking water includedMorning and afternoon sessions availableGood to KnowTransport to and from the meeting point is not includedAdditional drinks are available to purchaseMorning session starts at 09:30.
