Earthy Heritage Cooking

Begin your culinary journey with "Paon". This cooking class in Bali takes you into a traditional kitchen to try authentic Balinese recipes using the resort’s locally farmed spices and herbs, wood-fired stoves and heritage equipment. Guided by Banyan Tree Escape’s Buahan Chef, you will learn techniques and hear stories that make this experience truly memorable.

“Bringing the Buahan heritage flavour” is the resort’s philosophy, highlighting the importance of "bumbu". The foundation of many traditional dishes in Bali, bumbu is a blend of spices such as turmeric, ginger, lemongrass and other herbs that carry a rich aroma and flavour. These ingredients bring depth to Balinese cuisine, nourishing the body and delighting the palate.
