Beyond the Crowds: Why We Cook in Taro Village
While most classes are held in busy city kitchens, Taman Dukuh is located in the ancient village of Taro—the spiritual root of Ubud. This is the sacred path traveled by the priest Rsi Markandya, who brought the wisdom of agriculture to Bali.
When you cook with us, you aren’t just following a recipe; you are cooking in the same organic soil that has sustained Balinese families for centuries. It is “Old Ubud” as it was meant to be: lush, quiet, and authentic.

The Bali Farm Cooking School Experience
It All Starts at the Source.
Unlike many other cooking classes in Bali, your journey with us begins on the rich soil of our organic farm near Ubud. Before you touch a utensil, you will:
- Tour our farm
- See the herbs, spices, and vegetables we use
- Learn how Balinese people grow and use their ingredients
You will smell fresh turmeric, pick chilies from the plant, and understand what “fresh” really means. This is not just a class; it is a real Ubud farm cooking school experience.
“We would not hesitate to recommend this cooking class over the others in Ubud due to the unique farm experience. A big thanks to Buda and Depi for a memorable experience 😊” — Ashley, Google Review
Specialized & Private Cooking Classes in Ubud
A Taste of Tradition, Spice, and Community
At our farm cooking school in Ubud, you can also book private, vegan, and family-friendly classes. Balinese cuisine is a vibrant tapestry of aromatic spices, fresh vegetables, and time-honored techniques. At its heart is the ‘Basa Gede’, or spice paste, a complex blend of roots, herbs, and spices that forms the foundation of many dishes.
From the famous Sate Lilit (minced meat satay) to the savory Lawar (a mixture of vegetables and meat), our Balinese cooking class will teach you how to balance the core flavors—sweet, savory, spicy, and sour—to create food that is not only delicious but also deeply rooted in the island’s culture.
