Paola Maria
Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Come experience an authentic day at the masseria, amidst the scents of the countryside and the warmth of a family kitchen.
I will welcome you in my home, an old masseria nestled among centuries-old olive trees and dry stone walls, where time slows down and every recipe tells a story. During this experience we will prepare friselle together, to be seasoned with ingredients that are essential but rich in flavor and tradition. We will then learn fresh pasta. You will learn how to make orecchiette and cavatelli, to be enjoyed with a freshly prepared sauce, using what the garden and the season offer us. Finally, we will end on a sweet note with tiramisu, which we will prepare together following the recipe at home. Between dough and laughter, we will share stories, scents and ancient gestures.

- This cooking class was fantastic. Paola is such an incredible cook and host. Both of her beautiful kind daughters also joined and assisted in hosting. We are a family of 4 (kids aged 13). We all loved it and found it such a fun thing to do as a family. The location and home is so special and we felt really honoured to be welcomed into their home and feel so at home there. The food was fantastic, we all were so full and happy. It included lots of snacks, two pastas, tiramisu and accompanied with espresso and wine as well as some limoncello to top it off. Such a great way to spend an afternoon in such a beautiful town. Highly recommend!
- Truly one of the best parts of our trip. Paola and Rosanna are two joyous people who were kind and great with instruction. To cook and then eat at their own dinner table was indescribable. If you’re looking for an authentic experience with incredible hosts, you HAVE to try this. Thank you for an incredible time!!
- The experience was the most fun and authentic part of my vacation in Puglia. The place is magical, surrounded by greenery. We started by going into the garden to pick fresh produce from the vegetable garden. Then we made tiramisu and fresh pasta. Paola was incredibly patient and shared all the tips and tricks to help us prepare the dishes at their best. It was a wonderful experience that we will take home with us as our best souvenir.
- Our experience was amazing! My family and I (wife and teenage children) had a great time learning Paola’s wonderful recipes and learning about her family and the Puglia region. The food was amazing. We loved the hands on experience. A perfect day with some beautiful people.
- We had an absolutely wonderful time. It was an unmatched experience that provided an authentic glimpse of Italian culture. The family was not only accommodating but incredibly nice and welcoming. We learned, enjoyed delicious food, and will never forget this opportunity. We are grateful that they offered up their home and cannot recommend this class enough. Take it. More than once.
