Cooking Class in the Home of a Balinese Family.

Experience visiting a Balinese traditional family home and meet the whole family. You will see a different side of Bali, from the perspective of daily life and activities in a village and by having direct contact with a Balinese family, this puts you in touch with the culture in an authentic way.
Balinese are passionate about their spices, food preparation and presentation of their unique dishes. Having dinner with a Balinese family with Ubud Village Plate, allows you to enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal in a local Balinese village. You will make 7 dishes. It’s a wonderful cultural exchange as you can ask all those questions on your mind about Balinese rituals, life, the culture and everything you wanted to know.
Your hosts all speak good English and love to cook and welcome guests. It’s the Balinese way!

Village plate is a community initiative and allows for a genuine cultural exchange where you meet a local Balinese family and you get a glimpse into village life. It is a great way to make new friends and enjoy the benefit of this cross-cultural, authentic experience, which is equally as fascinating for both parties.

We support the Pejeng Village Cultural Preservation Programme and provide a private traditional dance instructor and free costume hire. The programme is so popular now. More than 20 kids come along, who normally did not dance. The kids love it and now get to dance on many occasions with shiny gold thread costumes and elaborate headdresses.

Village plate includes complimentary pick up in the local Ubud area, or if you are further out of town, transport arrangements can be made at an additional local cost.

Around 1 million plastic bottles are discarded every day in Bali so we want to be part of the solution not the problem. Accordingly, we have strict environmental standards.
NO PLASTIC: We will not provide drinking water in plastic bottles but in a water jug. Please note this is 100 percent safe to drink, in fact the water comes from the same source as what you drink from in the plastic bottles. We also do not use plastic straws.
WE BUY LOCAL: All the vegetables and meat you have at lunch or dinner is sourced locally and in many cases organic produce where possible.
NO PALM OIL: Palm Oil plantations are causing massive destruction of the primary forests in Borneo, Papua and other parts of Indonesia and negatively impacting the lives of many indigenous cultures. We use alternatives to Palm Oil in our cooking, that are far less destructive.
NO MSG: We do use MSG in our cooking as we believe it is bad for your health.
In Indonesia, we support cultural preservation projects, educational literacy in remote villages, indigenous films as a way to educate people, indigenous film makers, Indigenous story telling programs, a Dayak dance academy from Borneo and environmental preservation programs.
