NURTURING CULINARY EXCELLENCE WITH PURPOSE
Sustainability at the heart of culinary education
At Bali Culinary Pastry School (BCPS), sustainability is not an afterthought — it is a guiding principle that shapes how we teach, cook, and contribute to the world. As an integral part of the Normal Bali ecosystem and in close collaboration with UMAA, BCPS is committed to advancing global gastronomy while honoring the environment, culture, and communities that support it.
HOW SUSTAINABILITY COMES ALIVE AT BCPS
Students are trained to source and cook with purpose—using seasonal, local, and sustainably sourced ingredients that reduce environmental impact and support regenerative food systems. Our curriculum integrates core principles of mindful sourcing, responsible menu development, and a deep respect for food origins, empowering future chefs to lead with both skill and sustainability.
Our kitchens serve as real-life learning labs for less-waste culinary techniques. From portion control and byproduct utilization to food waste tracking and composting, students gain hands-on experience in sustainable kitchen management. Organic waste is composted and returned to our on-site gardens, supporting a closed-loop ecosystem that reinforces our commitment to responsible, earth-friendly cooking.
Aligned with the green building ethos of Nyanyi Bali, our training spaces are thoughtfully designed to maximize natural ventilation and lighting, reduce energy consumption, and minimize material waste—setting a new standard for eco-conscious hospitality education.
BCPS embraces culinary citizenship, where global techniques meet local wisdom. Students learn to respect and elevate cultural identity through food while applying sustainable methods—preserving traditions in a modern, eco-conscious world.
Through industry internships at 5-star hotels in Bali, Michelin-starred restaurants in France and Italy, and sustainability-focused establishments, BCPS students gain firsthand experience with the real-world application of ethical and environmental practices in global hospitality. They don’t just graduate as skilled professionals—they emerge as forward-thinking practitioners and conscious changemakers, ready to lead a more responsible future in the culinary world.
A PLATFORM FOR REGENERATIVE GASTRONOMY
As part of Nyanyi Bali’s holistic vision, Bali Culinary Pastry School (BCPS) champions a future where culinary excellence and sustainability go hand in hand. In collaboration with SANJA and BITDEC, we are helping to shape a new definition of the modern chef — one who is a steward of the land, a guardian of culture, and a catalyst for positive change through food.
