Puglia at the Table: Focaccia, Orecchiette and Almond Cakes.
The intent of this cooking class is to give you a taste of Puglia with 3 must-haves of Apulian cuisine: fragrant focaccia with tomatoes , oregano, olives and onion; handmade orecchiette pasta made with Semola coming from ancient grains and topped with garden tomatoes and turnips; and finally the fantastic Apulian almonds in small, simple and fragrant sweets. These dishes speak for themselves of the simplicity and authenticity of Apulian cuisine suitable for all palates and even for vegans and vegetarians! I am waiting for you we will have fun while I tell you many anecdotes about our land.

- Wonderful moment with Jeanette, who speak a very good French ! This was a pleasure to go to the market, to taste everything we were curious on. Then going to Jeanette’s Masseria, we cooked pasta, had a coffee and discussed about technics and trick that will help us make the same at home. We had a great meal and many advices on the region and the local food to taste ! Thank you very much Jeanette !
- Giovannella is a great teacher and super welcoming host. I loved her passion for food. We made delicious tiramisu and orechiette. And we had an entertaining afternoon and dinner. Go and experience, I would advise.

- Giovannella is a good host, she loves to teach cooking and takes good care of her guests. In her classes she demonstrates and you work yourself. The result was delicious.
- My husband and I recently took a cooking class with Maria and Giovannella in Alberobello, and it was a fantastic experience. They welcomed us warmly and shared their love for Italian cooking throughout the session. Together, we learned to make two traditional types of pasta from scratch, with clear instructions that made the process easy to follow. Giovannella provided great tips while guiding us through the making of tiramisu, which turned out delicious. After cooking, we enjoyed our meal together, sharing stories and laughter in a friendly atmosphere. If you’re in Alberobello, I highly recommend this cooking class; it’s a wonderful way to spend quality time with loved ones while learning new skills and enjoying authentic Italian cuisine!

Cesarina from 2024Location: Martina Franca Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, FrenchMy cooking is the result of a family passion passed down from my mother, my grandmother, and shaped by the experiences and places that have been part of my life. I love cooking with seasonal, local products, and whenever possible, ingredients from my own garden. I enjoy growing and using aromatic herbs, transforming fruit into unique and healthy jams, as well as creating traditional liqueurs. My cuisine is typical of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, as a Neapolitan transplanted to Puglia, with Sicilian and Campanian grandmothers and a Pugliese mother-in-law. I love French cuisine and exploring “fusion” experiences that blend Southern Italian and international flavors.
