I did a very enjoyable cookery course at Bumbu Bali next to Warung Ibu Oka in central Ubud ('Bumbu' means spice or flavour: there's another restaurant by that name on Nusa Dua. It's more famous, but also more expensive and not connected to the one in Ubud).

The chef's enthusiasm really shone through and I recommend it highly. Also, Warung Ibu Oka serves the finest babi guling (suckling pig) you're likely to taste

My wife and I took a Thai cooking class from the Samui Institute of Thai Culinary Arts. We prepared a three course meal, headlined by a Masaman Curry - fantastic. That dish still ends up on our dinner table from time to time.

The instructor was attentive and, well, instructive. I would have liked to have had more time, but drinks on the beach go in the way. If I ever go back to Ko Samui, I will take more classes there including their fruit carving class.
