Typical Apulian panzerotto
Pettole (fried dough bites)
Who can resist street food, the kind you grab on the go and enjoy while strolling through alleys or villages, admiring the shop windows or the scenery around you? On this menu, I offer you a specialty from my beloved Puglia: the panzerotto! A crispy and fragrant fried pizza dough stuffed with tomato sauce, Apulian mozzarella, and oregano. And for those who want something special, try the panzerotto with sauce, mozzarella, olives, and Tuscan salami. To finish, a traditional dessert from Taranto: sweet pettole, delicious balls of fried dough, rolled in granulated sugar. A unique experience!
We had a wonderful evening with Anna and her daughter Maria in their lovely home, learning how to make Pappa al Pomodoro, Gnudi and a beautiful Torta della Nonna. Each of the five of us participated in the cooking process which was followed by a fabulous meal, enjoying the fruits of our labor as well as the company of Anna and Maria over a glass of wine! It was a wonderful evening and we highly recommend it to all those looking for a unique Tuscan experience!

What an amazing experience with Anna and her English translator Diba. Held in Anna's beautiful home she made us feel like family. My husband does not like liver and loved the liver on the crostini so much that he wanted the recipe. Everything was mouth-watering delicious. We would do this all over again. Thank you!

Our time with Anna and Laura (translator) was so special. Anna was an amazing chef and a great instructor. The food was incredible, something you can’t have anywhere else. We enjoyed our experience and talked for hours. This was a once in a lifetime experience and would 100% recommend this to anyone coming to the area.
