When it comes to Salento traditions, homemade pasta holds a special place. Ever since I was a child, my grandmother and my mum have taught me how to transform simple ingredients like flour and water into flavours that tell the story of our roots and our cuisine. In this experience, we’ll get our hands dirty to learn the techniques and methods passed down from generation to generation. Together, we’ll prepare one of Salento’s traditional pasta dishes – a choice of orecchiette, maccheroncini or sagne ’ncannulate – to discover the authentic pleasure of handmade pasta.

- An absolutely wonderful day with Lucia! She was a superb host showing us around the market on the morning. Allowing us to look at all the sites and interact with the locals and trying some special treats at the market. We then had an afternoon coffee at a local bar with some sweet treats to give us all the energy for the pasta making. We the. Learned how to make typical Apulian paste in two forms and learned how to make a traditional simple tomato sauce with the ingredients we bought at the market. And to top it all off we made tiramisu from scratch because you can’t have a pasta with out the dolce. Overall, 10/10 experience for the authenticity and how wonderful Lucia was to us. Grazie ancora Lucia e spero che ci vediamo a presto.
- We had a superb food and wine tour with Lucia. She was very responsive with her communication, her English was very good, she was on time and extremely informative. She explained everything at the market and at all the stops along the way. We had a truly fantastic visit and meal at the country house hosted by Lucia and the lovely homeowners. Thank you for a great day.
- The experience with Lucia was magnificent! Thank you very much :)
- Lucia was a good teacher: she explained things to us in a clear and simple way, with satisfying results.

Cesarina from 2024Location: Lecce (LE) 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.
