It isn't in Seminyak, but they'll pick you up from your hotel.
I did this cooking school two years ago and it was fantastic. The day started (quite early) with a trip to a fresh produce market near Jimbaran, then to the Seafood market on the beach at Jimbaran, then back to the school at Tanjung Benoa. We cooked a very wide array of dishes, from the basic to the intricate.
You take home a very comprehensive recipe book as well as a useful 'replacement chart' which tells you what you can use instead of some of the ingredients that might not be available at home.
The best part - the feast at the end of the class - you get to eat everything that your class has created! What a great day!
I recommended this school to a friend who attended a few months ago. She and her husband loved it.
Cost is about $60-80 - can't remember - might have gone up by now!
They have a website, which is linked below.
P.S. Also recommend the restaurant - Mrs PPWAU has demanded that we dine there on our first night there in a few weeks (well, second night actually, given that we wont get to our hotel until about 10:30-11:00 on the first night - why does JQ fly in so late??)
