Shared Experience
Your experience
Let's join together to bring to life the most delicious orecchiette ever! It will be a fun and relaxing experience, a time of sharing as among old friends, immersing ourselves in the typical flavors of Salento. During this culinary adventure, we will have the opportunity to taste local delicacies together. Alongside our orecchiette, let's indulge in homemade focaccia and bread, tarallini, vegetables, cheeses and cured meats carefully chosen to ensure maximum flavor. My name is Francesca, I am a mother of three girls to whom I lovingly dedicate everything I prepare in the kitchen. My passion for fresh pasta has roots from childhood, when I was enchanted to watch my grandmothers create orecchiette pasta with extraordinary skill.

- What a fun and educational experience we had making Pasticciotto Leccese with Francesca! She is such a nice person and we learned how to make these favorite pastries of Lecce. Thank you very much for sharing your cooking talents.
- Our evening with Francesca & her daughter was great! We learned about the local ingredients and method for making orecchiette and macaroni pasta. Francesca was the perfect hands-on teacher for the evening. We also made tiramisu, which was fantastic. If you want good conversation, make your dinner & delicious dessert, sign up for this class. Ciao’ ciao’
- What an amazing experience cooking with Francesca! Learned so much and had such a fun time. Would highly recommend this experience to everyone!
- We had such a wonderful time cooking with Francesca and her lovely daughters! We learned how to make fresh orrechiete. We felt like family sitting at the table eating, sipping on wine and sharing stories! Francesca made everything from scratch including foccacia, meatballs and pasticiotto torte which was a favorite. Cooking with Francesca was a highlight of our two week trip to Puglia and we look forward to returning next year for her pizza class🥰 Grazie, Francesca, for such a fantastic time and special memories!
- We had a great experience, Francesca had welcomed us in her home. Very delicious food together prepared and Francesca made a typical puglian dessert. I would recommend this experience.👌

Where
Francesca
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. "
