An intimate farm-to-table style experience that brings Bali’s vibrant markets, time-honoured recipes and warm hospitality together in one memorable day.
At Kayumanis Resto Jimbaran, cooking is a story of place, people and tradition. The journey begins early, as guests are invited to step into the lively Jimbaran seafood market, where Bali’s daily rhythm unfolds in a symphony of colour, chatter and scent. Stalls brim with freshly landed seafood, fragrant herbs and tropical produce, while local vendors exchange smiles and greetings with long-time customers. Accompanied by a Kayumanis chef, guests learn how to recognise the finest ingredients, from glossy chillies and earthy turmeric to just-caught fish destined for the grill.
The experience continues back at the villa, where a tranquil garden setting replaces the market’s lively bustle. Here, the cooking class becomes a hands-on exploration of traditional Indonesian cuisine, interpreted through the distinctive Kayumanis Resto Jimbaran approach. Guided step by step, guests are introduced to classic techniques and preparation methods, many of which have been passed down through generations. The chef shares not only practical tips, but also the cultural meaning behind each dish, offering insight into Balinese family life, rituals and the philosophy of balance that defines local cooking.
As aromas begin to fill the air, the class naturally evolves into a shared moment of enjoyment. Guests sit down to savour the dishes they have prepared themselves, appreciating the freshness of the ingredients and the satisfaction of creating something truly authentic. By the end of the day, participants leave with more than a full stomach. They take home new skills, treasured recipes and a deeper connection to Bali’s culinary heritage, memories that linger long after the final bite.
