    Making Christmas cakes together is an unforgettable experience.I was 4 when I started with my mom and up to now it's still not Christmas for me if I don't make cakes for family daughters grandchildren and friends. Making them together with guests in a cooking class is even nicer because it is a way of passing on old recipes and secrets with passion to you who in turn will pass them on. Is there anything more beautiful than leaving fantastic memories ? I don't think so. We will make Struffoli and Purcidd together, small balls of fried dough topped with honey and almonds and with candied fruit, then we will turn our attention to pettole, which can be either sweet or savory. Everyone will then bring with them a small souvenir of the afternoon together. And it will be Christmas right away.

    We had a wonderful cooking and eating experience in the Italian countryside with Giovannella. From the moment she welcomed us at her lovely organic Masseria, we felt at home. She created a very hands-on and authentic experience making tagliatelle and tiramisu. As cool as the cooking class was, the eating portion of the day was even better! The food was spectacular, punctuated by a cornucopia of delights from her organic gardens. Giovannella made us feel like family, and we highly recommend this experience to anyone coming to Puglia.

    Wat een leuke belefenis. Het begon allemaal met een hartelijk welkom. Giovannella deed alles om ons een leuk moment te bezorgen. Jammer dat de regen spelbreker was, maar dit werd ruimschoots gecompenseerd door het enthousiasme van de gastvrouw! Superervaring! Dank u wel voor alles

    Wonderful moment with Jeanette, who speak a very good French ! This was a pleasure to go to the market, to taste everything we were curious on. Then going to Jeanette’s Masseria, we cooked pasta, had a coffee and discussed about technics and trick that will help us make the same at home. We had a great meal and many advices on the region and the local food to taste ! Thank you very much Jeanette !

    My cooking is the result of a family passion passed down from my mother, my grandmother, and shaped by the experiences and places that have been part of my life. I love cooking with seasonal, local products, and whenever possible, ingredients from my own garden. I enjoy growing and using aromatic herbs, transforming fruit into unique and healthy jams, as well as creating traditional liqueurs. My cuisine is typical of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, as a Neapolitan transplanted to Puglia, with Sicilian and Campanian grandmothers and a Pugliese mother-in-law. I love French cuisine and exploring “fusion” experiences that blend Southern Italian and international flavors.
