Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
Onion pizza is one of the typical dishes of old Bari. It is prepared especially at Carnival or in any case we find it on holiday tables in every season. My recipe follows the directions given to me by a lady in the old town itself. It is light and digestible, and the ingredients are handled according to the book. I will teach you how to prepare it and we will enjoy it in my old house near the sea and the Margherita Theater. We will be in the charming and quaint alleys of old Bari. Two other specialties that I will prepare for you will complete the dinner. It will be a rustic but very tasty dinner! I am waiting for you!
Valentina is an excellent and warm host. We felt her genuine hospitality as soon as we walked in her home. She is very patient with her instructions. What is also interesting is she injects side stories on the history of the recipe, including her personal experiences. We left her home with the feeling that we have a new friend in Bari.

We had a wonderful experience with Valentina! She was very welcoming and her house is really warm and nice and sets a good mood for the cooking class. We had a lovely chat, cooked and had a meal together. Would definitely recommend to anyone to give it a try!

bellissima esperienza nel cuore della nostra città.
Valentina, oltre ad essere un’ottima cuoca è una signora con la quale è molto piacevole trascorrere del tempo e scambiarsi esperienze.
Grazie a lei sappiamo finalmente fare il calzone di cipolle come lo fanno le signore del borgo antico.
calzone top! - December 2024
Valentina was so kind and knowledgeable, she taught us skill we immediately were able to take and use a few days after. She also gave us tips on where else to eat and explore in Bari.

My kitchen is predominantly vegetarian, featuring ingredients typical of the region. I enjoy adding a personal touch to traditional recipes from my area. Living in the ancient village, I love to "steal" the secrets from the guardians of ancient recipes, now known worldwide.
