Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
Gnocchi is a traditional Italian dish, originating in the North but also loved in the South. There are many variations, such as gnocchi alla sorrentina, with butter and sage, or plain, with a km0 tomato sauce. Easy to prepare but incredibly tasty, gnocchi can be customized with different toppings. At the end of our cooking class, you will taste the dish you have prepared, ending the experience with a traditional dessert made by you. A unique opportunity to make your stay in Salento even more special! I am waiting for you!
Lucia was extremely knowledgeable concerning the preparation of pasta

¡Una experiencia maravillosa! Participé en una clase de cocina con Lucia y fue absolutamente encantadora. Aprendimos a hacer orecchiette salentinas desde cero, siguiendo la tradición local, y luego preparamos un delicioso tiramisú casero. Lucia fue muy amable, paciente y simpática durante toda la clase. Nos hizo sentir como en casa y compartió con nosotros no solo recetas, sino también historias y consejos auténticos de su región. ¡Recomiendo esta experiencia a todos los amantes de la cocina italiana!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a cooking class with Lucia, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Lucia's passion for Salento cuisine is infectious, and her warm and welcoming personality made the class both fun and informative.
From the moment we stepped into her beautiful kitchen, we were immersed in the flavors and aromas of the region. Lucia expertly guided us through the preparation of traditional dishes, sharing her knowledge and tips along the way. She made even the most novice cook feel confident and capable.
The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and it was such a treat to enjoy the fruits of our labor together at the end of the class. Lucia's cooking class is not just a lesson in cooking; it's a cultural experience that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the Salento region and its culinary traditions.
I highly recommend Lucia's cooking class to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable culinary experience. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, you're sure to learn something new and have a great time. Thank you, Lucia, for an unforgettable day!

"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.
