A Fantastic Experience with Ron at Lesung Bali Cooking Class!

We had such an amazing time at Lesung Bali Cooking Class with Ron! Our experience was a private class, and it felt so personal and special from start to finish. One of the highlights was visiting a typical Balinese home and learning about the culture and family compounds. It was such a thoughtful and respectful experience – informative without ever feeling intrusive. It gave us the perfect chance to ask questions and understand more about life in Bali. The cooking setup itself was fantastic – a beautiful outdoor kitchen surrounded by the countryside, which made the whole experience even more memorable. Ron guided us through each ingredient and dish with so much knowledge, patience, and humor. He was incredibly friendly and fun, which made the class not only educational but also really enjoyable. We cooked so many delicious traditional dishes, and it was such a treat to enjoy everything we made. We left with full bellies, big smiles, and a deeper appreciation for Balinese food and culture. We couldn’t recommend Lesung – and especially Ron – more highly. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Bali!

You can have a few other experiences.

They taught me to cook reasonably and showed me around the local families. They were very friendly and good people. I am so grateful that they picked me up at the hotel I was staying at and sent me to the next hotel after the cooking class.

Cooking in the country side

This was a great experience. From the morning market to the prep work, it was very hands. We also got to see a traditional balinese house.

Wayan, our host was amazing, from taking us through Balinese culture, to the local traditions and living style. It was a nice introduction before the cooking began. The cooking class was fun and well thought out and delicious, definately recommend to all.
