Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Tarallini, olives, local cheeses and salamis
  • Spaghetti all’assassina
  • Mozzarella, stracciatella and burrata from Puglia

Spaghetti all'assassina represents a typical dish of Bari cuisine, consisting of spaghetti cooked in an iron skillet with peeled tomatoes, garlic, and a generous touch of chili pepper. Their name comes from their spiciness, but it is important to maintain a flavorful balance. It will be a pleasure to show you the correct method of preparation and then taste them together on a lovely terrace (weather permitting). During the meal, we will enjoy mozzarella, stracciatella, burrata and other delicacies, as well as a typical dessert. All will be accompanied by local wine and limoncello. I hope to welcome you to share this delicious culinary experience!

We had a delightful cooking evening with Anna! Our family of five, which included our 14-year-old grandson all enjoyed learning about Puglian cuisine and tasting so many specialties that Anna had prepared for us to enjoy while we were cooking. She was so warm and friendly welcoming us into her kitchen. The spaghetti assassina & crème pastry she taught us to to make were delicious! Thank you & Carmen for inspiring us all, especially our grandson!

Anna was amazing. She was so patient and kind. She taught us so well that I came home and made some pasta from memory. I can’t recommend her enough. She is amazing.

We had a great cooking experience with Anna and her friend making 3 types of pasta and Tiramisu.They were both very welcoming and excellent teachers.This was followed by a 3 course meal including our homemade Tiramisu and delicious chocolate liquor in Anna's living room. This was a highlight of our trip to Italy and we would highly recommend Anna

It was an amazing experience with Anna, and perhaps one of the best part of out 10 days in Italy. I will just make suggestion for future guests. Get a taxi with GPS, because the address numbers on the street are counter intuitive. The Number 1 address is not on the same block as # 2-8, its on the block before. Our cab driver dropped us off and said "It should be here someplace, and we didnt find it. My phone could not hook up to service in the area, so it put us in a panic mode. Anna is sending us the recipes we learned.

Anna

Cesarina from 2018Location: Bari (BA)    Languages: Italian and English
Bari has been the crossroads of a variety of cultures: Greek and Latin, Longobard and Byzantine, Norman, Roman and medieval. Each of them knew, particularly when it came to the culinary arts, how to gather and preserve knowledge and flavors. Within this mix of culture and gastronomy, we meet Cesarina Anna.  Anna welcomes her guests into her large living room. In spring and summer, she likes to greet them on the terrace to enjoy the view of the city. Her home is always open to welcoming and looking after her guest.  Anna’s passion for food and wine was born out of curiosity. "Really knowing the ingredients, sampling all the good things our vegetable gardens and harbors offer, talking with the producers themselves and understanding the work involved, putting myself out there to create the traditional dishes of our culinary culture have all helped to refine my palate"  A hobby that developed over time into a constant commitment, Anna approaches her cooking with both seriousness and professionalism, even if she’s just cooking for pure personal pleasure. She uses a careful selection of seasonal local products to prepare her meals made up of traditional dishes, but without foregoing a bit of modern reinterpretation.
