- 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 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.👌
- It was a unique experience of Italian cuisine. Our host Francesca not only gave us an insight into her cooking skills but also a deep insight into Apulian cuisine. Definitely an experience that I can recommend and would repeat.

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. "
