Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
A lesson on fresh pasta typical of the area, with authentic recipes handed down from my family and the preparation of three distinct types of pasta: orecchiette, sagne torte (also known as ritorte or 'ncannulate') and ravioli. Depending on the season, these delicacies will be accompanied by sauces, sauces and fresh vegetables, creating a delicious and wholesome final dish. It will be an experience not only culinary, but also fun and relaxing, a time of sharing and warmth as among old friends, immersing ourselves in the authentic flavors of Salento.
My name is Francesca and I am a proud mother of three girls, to whom I lovingly dedicate everything I prepare in the kitchen. I await you at my home to share traditions with you.

- We had a wonderful experience learning to cook an authentic Italian meal of focaccia, pasta, and pasticciotto! The learning was great and the food tasted delicious. More importantly we had a delightful evening learning about the lives of a wonderful family in Copertino Italy. We strongly recommend the experience!
- Thank you, Francesca, and your two beautiful daughters, for making our cooking class such a truly special experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed into your home—it was warm, inviting, and full of joy. You made the lesson fun, enjoyable and we had lots of laughs. We had the best time learning, cooking, and just enjoying the whole experience together. You made everything so easy and enjoyable, and we’ll always remember this night. Thanks again for being so kind and making it such a fun and memorable evening!

Cesarina from 2020Location: Lecce Languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish"For me, being in front of the stove is really a pleasure, which I often share with our friends. Pleasure in preparing something genuine that often takes us back to the kitchens of our grandmothers, crowded with relatives, especially during the holidays. Our territory is rich in poor but exceptional products, which I like to serve in the simplest way possible, precisely to enhance them. "
