The only cooking class on Gili Meno. Learn authentic Indonesian & Sasak recipes in our beautiful island kitchen — built with love by the team at Divine Divers.
We built this kitchen because we believe food is the most honest way to understand a place. Gili Meno's quieter pace, its fishermen, its spice markets, its Sasak heritage — all of it ends up on your plate.
In a purpose-built, beautifully designed island kitchen, our local chefs guide small groups through traditional recipes using the freshest ingredients. You don't just cook here — you eat what you make, share stories, and leave with recipes you'll use for life.

No cars, no noise, no rush. The most romantic and tranquil of the three Gilis. Turquoise water, white sand, sea turtles, underwater statues — and now, the best cooking class in the archipelago.
"Absolutely incredible experience. We did the Super Six and every single dish was amazing. The chef explained the culture behind each recipe — we learned so much more than just cooking. Left full, happy and inspired."
"The kitchen is absolutely beautiful — I didn't expect such a well-designed space on such a small island! The Ayam Taliwang was the highlight for me. I've already made it at home twice using the recipe they gave us."
"Best activity we did in the Gilis. We combined it with a dive in the morning with Divine Divers — turtles then cooking class. What a day. The team are so warm and funny. Highly recommend for couples or groups."

Absolutely. All three menus can be made fully vegetarian or vegan on request. Just let us know when you book. Chicken is replaced with tofu or tempeh, and we use vegan alternatives for sauces. Same great flavour.
The class includes all ingredients, cooking equipment, drinking water, and the meal you cook at the end. You'll also receive digital recipes to recreate all dishes at home. For larger groups, you'll cook in pairs.
We're located at Divine Divers on Sunset Beach, on the northwest side of Gili Meno — about a 20-minute walk from the harbour or a quick cidomo (horse cart) ride. If you're staying elsewhere on the island, just message us and we'll give you exact directions.
We accept Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) in cash only, on the day of your class. We've put a currency conversion link on the classes page to help you plan. There are ATMs in Gili Trawangan if you need to withdraw cash before coming to Meno.
Yes — just let us know at least 24 hours before your class and we'll be happy to reschedule. If the weather or sea conditions affect your plans, we'll always find a solution. Island life is flexible.
