Well yes, quite possibly a good place to pick up as well. LOL
There are plenty to choose from depending on your itinerary and how far you want to go, such as Casa Luna in Ubud or Bumbu Bali in Benoa (ie Nusa Dua). Both of these schools have a good reputation and incorporate tours of the Markets to learn about the spices etc.
I did the Casa Luna class last year and it was a great day. I was in Ubud at the time but they do do transport from Kuta and Legian if you can raise the body early enough.
I had lunch at Bumbu Bali last week and the food was absolutely sensational. They gave me a brochure about the school, so I can get further info for you if you are interested. They also have a turtle conservation project. I think this class is a little more expensive than Casa Luna though.
Cheers,
