Shared Experience
Your experience

    We will share a unique experience at our cozy country farmhouse, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Puglia, with wide expanses of olive trees stretching down to the sea and a bird's-eye view of the entire surrounding scenery. We will go back in time together, exploring ancient traditions and getting to work preparing the famous orecchiette pasta. Everyone will have everything they need to participate in a lesson led by Maria, our expert Cesarina. This will be followed by the creation of orecchiette pasta, dressed with a delicious tomato sauce, goat's ricotta cheese and fresh basil, the latter harvested directly from our vegetable garden.

    Maria and Sarah were wonderful hosts and teachers. We had a terrific family experience and enjoyed learning more about the local culture. We booked unsure what to expect but the evening was a delight. I highly recommend this experience if visiting the Puglia area. It was like cooking with old friends.

    I and my sisters loved our cooking class with Maria. The menu was excellent, based on local delicacies and providing dishes that were unusual (for us, the non-Italians) but not difficult to reproduce. We booked it as a birthday present for my sister who is a great cook, and she loved it. And those of us who are not so good at cooking also found recipes we are going to make again. We cooked courgette flowers, shallot ‘flowers’, polpette, pasta with rape, and sugared almonds, and also snacked on Maria’s olives, foccacia barese, tomato bruschetta with spicy ricotta, and homemade limoncello and walnut liqueur. Lunch in the garden with Maria, and Vitania her super translator, was just gorgeous. Thank you both for a wonderful taste of Puglia!

    We had such an amazing experience with Maria! The Masseria is beautiful and we got to learn a bit about the local history and traditions. It was a lot of fun to learn all the recipes (the orecchiette technique was harder than I thought though!). We made two starters, one pasta dish and some sweet almonds for dessert, and all of them were delicious! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes food and to wishes to learn more about Puglia!

    "I will welcome my guests in the ancient country farm, surrounded by olive trees, in a unique position at the foot of the hills of Selva di Fasano, with the enchanting view of the expanse of olive trees leading to the sea. We will collect the vegetables together from our garden, and then create the typical dishes of the family tradition."
