Shared Experience

Your experience

Live a unique culinary experience in the heart of Matera, in Basilicata, directly at my home! In this three-course cooking class, we will prepare a delicious appetizer full of flavor, such as baked ricotta with olives and capers. Next, we'll make the first course, like fresh cavatelli pasta, prepared together with fresh, high-quality ingredients. To finish, for dessert, I’ll teach you how to make the “coppa goduriosa,” a scrumptious dessert with sponge cake, cream, fresh candied fruit, almonds, and sour cherries, which will win everyone over. After preparing the dishes under my guidance, we will enjoy the meal we’ve made. It’s a perfect opportunity to discover the cuisine of Matera in good company. It will be an unforgettable experience.

: My husband Jay and I took a pasta and tiramisu making class with Francesco while in Matera during our honeymoon. The cooking class was a belated birthday gift for my husband and we had been looking forward to it for months. It was absolutely one of the most meaningful experiences during our time in Puglia. Francesco is warm, welcoming, and is a fantastic teacher. The class exceeded our expectations in every way. We left feeling like Francesco wasn’t just our cooking teacher, he became our friend. Highly recommend creating incredible members by taking a cooking class with Francesco.
: We scheduled a pizza and tiramisu making class while we were in matera for a couple days of our honeymoon. We showed up to Francesco’s apartment, and after 2 weeks, it is by far the highlight of our trip that has included islands in Greece, Croatia, and 5 star hotels. Francesco was a super interesting guy that cared so much about our experience and the quality of food, ingredients, and experience that we had. He picked up everything in the morning so it was fresh for us, and prepped the dough so it had time to rise for the best quality. He also gave a handful of recommendations that dramatically changed the experience we had in matera, all of them were local gems that he knows. Francesco allowed us to indulge in all of the incredible ingredients he sourced, whether it was his olive oil or local lemoncello. We had such high expectations for a “pizza and tiramisu making” class and Francesco exceeded all of those expectations. It is something we will talk about for years. Thank you Francesco! We cannot wait to come back and have another dinner with our Professor Chef, Francesco.
: Francesco è una persona deliziosa, assieme a lui abbiamo cucinato dei piatti tipici della tradizione con ingredienti freschi e di altissima qualità, ma sopratutto abbiamo passato una serata piacevolissima, chiacchierando e divertendoci. Grazie Francesco per la tua disponibilità e accoglienza!
: Our experience with Chef Francesco Linzalone was exceptional. We were warmly welcomed into Francesco’s beautiful home, where his kitchen—dubbed his "cooking lab"—was clean and highly functional. Francesco shared his philosophy of slow food and his expertise as an olive oil producer. He then guided us through slicing and dicing fresh ingredients to create two delicious pasta dishes and an exceptional tiramisu dessert. His wit and storytelling kept us entertained until it was time to taste our creations. We sat around a beautifully set table and enjoyed some of the best pasta dishes we've ever had, accompanied by Prosecco and his homemade digestive drink. We ate very well and thoroughly enjoyed Francesco’s company. Francesco even gave us a few gifts, including his incredibly delicious olive oil, and kindly drove us back to our hotel. This was an unforgettable experience that we highly recommend to any food aficionado.
: Francesca was great and very knowledgeable. But this was not a cooking class in a home as I had originally booked and we were surprised to go to three shops and just have bare minimum nibbles . Maybe a problem in translation?

Cesarina from 2019Location: Matera Languages: English and Italian

"I like to guide friends and guests through the streets of Matera and describe places and characters of Matera that I have lived since I was a child and, where, it is easy to be surprised by a trail of scent of wood-fired bread. Even more it is nice to discover the Matera countryside with its historic farmhouses along the Gravina stream, where centuries-old olive trees grow tenaciously from which I myself extract authentic and fragrant oil. The bread-oil combination sums up Matera. And more... "
