    We had an amazing cooking class with Pierangela. She taught us to make two different pastas and tiramisu, made some amazing appetizers for us, and was such a gracious host. It was the best food we ate during our entire trip to Italy. She and her husband were so welcoming and warm, it was lovely to be in their home for the evening. Our whole family had a great time. Thank you so much! We would recommend this experience to anyone!

    We had such an amazing time! Pierangela was so welcoming it felt like going to a family's house. She even prepped apps for us which were amazing and made us a special coffee. We could not have been happier with the experience. She helped us enjoy cooking because neither of us are great haha. The sauces she prepared were my favorite and most flavorful out if our entire trip. Plus Maja (her beautiful dog) was a fun bonus 😄 Mahalo!!

    Pierangela put a great deal of time and effort into her class. She loves to cook. It was fun, and I gained some insight into the experiences of young people in Italy. My only comment is that she needs a written sheet of her recipes that can be taken away. This seems like a great program.

    We had a wonderful experience with Pierangela. She and her family were welcoming and warm and we enjoyed learning how to make orichette and cavatelli pasta. The meal she put together (she had made sauce already for us) with the pasta and appetizers were delicious and one of our favorite meals in Italy. I highly recommend Pierangela.

    Hello, my name is Pierangela, and cooking for others is one of the things that brings me the most joy. Since I was a child, I've wanted to experiment with the traditional recipes of my hometown. I was born in Gravina in Puglia, a town on the border between Puglia and Basilicata, boasting an incredibly rich culinary tradition. It's precisely this richness that drives me to cook: so many recipes, so many flavors, unique and unmistakable, exclusively ours. Panzerotti, focaccia barese, Pan cotto alla gravinese, U' ruccl (typical San Giuseppe focaccia), sweet ricotta calzones with pork ragu, orecchiette al tegamino, cavatelli, baked finocchietti, cartellate, and much more—these are the typical flavors of my homeland. For the past 12 years, I have been living in Lecce, in the wonderful and spectacular Salento, and from the beginning, I started to savor and create dishes typical of the Salento tradition, including the famous Pezzetti di cavallo, Ciceri e tria, Pittule, Pizzo, Frise, and the unmissable pasticciotto.
