Hi from Lucia!
"You always cook thinking of someone, otherwise you're just preparing food"What I love most is passing down the traditions of my region through culinary art, that is, everything that has been passed down to me by my grandmothers since I was a child. A journey that goes from homemade pasta, to traditional pittule, to the typical sweets of my land.
My specialities
- Salento appetizers such as pittule, friselline, and sceblasti.
- Orecchiette with tomato sauce.
- Pasticciotto or tiramisu.

- We loved our cooking class with Lucia. It was a very warm environment, the food was excellent. We leaned a lot while and can’t wait to take what we learned and do it at home.
- We had such a lovely time with Lucia. She was so generous in welcoming us into her home. She was a great teacher. And most of all she was a wonderful cook. She even gave us a plan of things to see in Leece after our visit and when she found out it was my birthday helped to make it even more special. We went home with full bellies, great memories and happy hearts. Thank-you Lucia
- Unique and very beautiful experience. Lucia with her passion for cooking and the traditions of Salento, prepared excellent dishes to taste. It was nice to be able to knead the orecchiette and then eat them. See you next time
