  • Orecchiette
  • Sagne storte
  • Ravioli

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.

Francesca is an amazing host. We learnt how to make orecchiette and focaccia. For three hours we cooked and chatted and time flew by. It was a wonderfully genuine Italian cooking experience. Her daughters joined us also for lunch and made us feel so very much at home. Wonderful people!

Beautifully done and a real authentic experience in Francesca’s home. Very welcoming and Francesca does a good job teaching the technical and artistic aspects of making pasta and one side dish. I learned so much about real Italian ingredients and regional wines.

We had the best experience of learning the whole process of making pizza. Francesca was really patient with us, we had so many questions in general and she has taught us a lot of things. Overall our experience was best.

Francesca very patiently taught our 3 kids (ages 8, 11, and 13) how to make focaccia and orecchiette and macaroni. The kids loved kneading dough and making shapes. She is very sweet and speaks good English! Lunch was lovely and it was interesting to be in a real home. Highly recommend, especially to families!

"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. "
