Blessed by nature’s abundance, the Balinese prepare dishes as an expression of gratitude to the Divine. These traditional recipes hold profound significance within the community, often created as ceremonial offerings or to mark important milestones in life.
Embracing the spirit of preserving local traditions, HOSHINOYA Bali offers a traditional cooking class, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the authentic Balinese way of life. The experience begins with a morning visit to a bustling local market, followed by hands-on cooking guided by the hotel staff, and culminates in savoring the prepared dishes.

Accompanied by our kitchen staff, guests will explore colorful stalls brimming with the freshest ingredients—from fragrant spices and tropical fruits to exotic vegetables and herbs.
This market visit provides a unique opportunity to connect with local vendors, learn about Bali’s culinary staples, and gain insight into the traditions that shape Balinese cuisine. It’s not just about observing but truly experiencing what it means to be part of the local community.
