What makes Alchemy Academy different from other plant-based academies in Bali?
What makes Alchemy Academy different from other plant-based academies in Bali?
Academy is more than a culinary school. We don’t just teach plant-based recipes; we guide students into a deeper understanding of food as energy, medicine, and creative expression.
Alchemy Our approach blends culinary mastery with personal growth, mindfulness, and conscious community. Students don’t just learn how to cook, they learn why it matters.
What truly sets us apart is our integration of raw and cooked cuisine, holistic wellness practices, and the Alchemy philosophy that food is a pathway to transformation for self, community, and planet.

Programs & Curriculum
Programs & Curriculum
Do We offer focused or specialty courses, such as desserts-only training?
Not at the moment. Our programs are designed to give students a well-rounded foundation in plant-based cuisine, covering everything from appetizers to desserts as part of the complete curriculum.
How many hours per day are classes?
Classes typically run for six to seven hours per day, beginning in the morning with a grounding practice and continuing through hands-on kitchen sessions, demos, and creative projects.
Each day begins with a grounding practice such as yoga, meditation, or breathwork to set a mindful tone before entering the kitchen.
After a nourishing plant-based breakfast, students move into chef-led demos, hands-on cooking sessions, and creative workshops focused on advanced plant-based techniques.
Afternoons often include lunch preparation, project development, and tasting sessions, featuring guest chefs, collaborative exercises, or reflective “Inner Chef” work.
The day usually closes with Q&A sessions or group discussions that encourage integration and connection. Students also enjoy field trips, special workshops, and project presentations, blending structure with creativity and self-discovery.
Our students come from all over the world: chefs experimenting with new flavors, wellness enthusiasts deepening their practice, entrepreneurs building purpose-driven ventures, and conscious individuals simply eager to live with more intention. Each brings their own story, experience, and reason for being here.
What unites them is curiosity, a shared drive to understand the power of plants, to create nourishing food, and to live in alignment with their values. Together, they form a supportive global community inspired by growth, creativity, and connection.
