Your experience
Discover the secrets of calzoni leccesi, also known as panzerotti, and make them with me! Delicious and fragrant, these caskets of flavor can be filled in a thousand ways: from the traditional combination of tomato and mozzarella, to mouth-watering variations with sausage and friarielli, minced meat, mortadella and provolone cheese. And for the sweet tooth, a sweet version is not to be missed! Every bite is an explosion of authentic flavors that tell the story of Apulian tradition. Customize your panzerotti to your taste and enjoy this unique experience. I am waiting for you to prepare and taste these goodies together!

- Vacanza in Salento, nella quale abbiamo scelto di conoscere il territorio da vicino. Lucia e Paolo hanno accolto la nostra famiglia permettendo concretamente anche ai bambini, 3enne incluso, di sperimentare le preparazioni locali. Pur arrivando da zone ad alta intensità di pastificazione, ogni luogo è diverso e porta con sé scelte e racconti del proprio dove e del proprio tempo, stimolando curiosità, confronto e nuove conoscenze. Grazie dei tempi e dei modi dedicati, alla prossima!
- In short: we had a great evening with 2 excellent and sweet hosts, with amazing food. By far the best tiramisu we've had in a very long time! What made it extra special is that we were invited into the home of one of the hostess, which gave it an extra dose of Italian atmosphere. We learned a million different types of pasta, we made a bunch of them, and we were left wanting for more! And it was not just the pasta. Of course there was a lot of fresh cheese and other types of delicious food. And an extra compliment: just the day before the chef got word of our dietary wishes and she fully accommodated for it. 5 stars for the complete package: thank you again!
- I did Lucia’s lovely class with my mum and we learnt to make orecchiette and macaroni, along with tiramisu! Thank you so much to Lucia for the wonderful class and for picking us up and dropping us off- we are very grateful. Lucia was so welcoming and helpful and also gave us lots of tips about the area where we were staying. We learnt a lot and we enjoyed ourselves very much- thank you from New Zealand!
- 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

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.
