Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
When talking about Salento tradition, one cannot fail to mention homemade pasta.
Since I was a child, my grandmother and my mother taught me what my roots were: simplicity and humility turned from flour and water into a tasty and typical dish of orecchiette and maccheroncini al sugo. The experience I am proposing is really putting your hands in the pasta to learn how to make a typical dish of our tradition with a choice of orecchiette, maccheroncini or sagne ncannulate.

- Thank you, Lucia! I had a great time with you, learning playfully about the specialities of the Salento region, getting to know the traditional way of making local pasta (as well as a typical Tiramisu) and eating a very delicious meal!
- We are very happy with the experience with Lucia! We made calzoni and homemade pasta! Then Lucia and her partner entertained us with traditional Salento music! A complete experience! Highly recommended!!!
- A unique experience, not only through the flavors, but also through the stories of Salento’s tradition. It was a fantastic welcome because, in addition to letting us immerse ourselves and create our own dishes, Lucia, together with her partner, introduced us to the traditional music and stories of this wonderful land, Salento! A complete and unique experience that we truly recommend to everyone.
- Lucia and Paolo are truly exceptional hosts. They make you feel at home right away and, most importantly, they make you feel like part of their family. The dishes prepared and enjoyed together with them are truly unique and full of passion for what they do. It’s an experience I highly recommend to anyone visiting Salento, if they want to find the perfect mix of tradition, simplicity, and hospitality! Carmen
- 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!

Cesarina from 2024Location: Lecce Languages: Italian and English"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.
