Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before joining us
No prior experience is required! Our program is designed to accommodate complete beginners while still challenging experienced cooks. We start with fundamentals and progress to advanced techniques, ensuring everyone learns at their own pace.
We run an intake every month, and we keep each one deliberately small so you get personalised attention, plenty of hands-on time, and direct guidance from our instructors. If a month fills, we add a second training that month rather than raise the cap.
Absolutely! Our entire program is plant-based and naturally accommodates most dietary needs. We can work with nut allergies, gluten sensitivities, and other requirements. Please let us know your specific needs when booking.
Pack light, breathable clothing suitable for Bali's tropical climate. Bring comfortable closed-toe shoes for the kitchen, yoga attire, swimwear, a reusable water bottle, and any personal items. We provide all kitchen equipment, aprons, and materials. A detailed packing list will be sent upon booking.
To secure your place, we ask for a 50% deposit, which is non-refundable.
The remaining 50% (your second payment) is refundable as follows:
- More than 60 days before the program: full refund of the second payment
- 30–60 days before: 50% refund of the second payment
- Less than 30 days before: no cash refund
