    A tour of the local market is an experience you simply can’t miss. Immerse yourself in the vibrant colors and enticing aromas that tell stories of tradition and authenticity at every corner. Together, we will handpick the freshest and most typical products of our land, ready to be transformed into delicious dishes once we return home. In the kitchen, we’ll get straight to work, preparing a rich and traditional appetizer from our region, followed by a homemade pasta dish crafted with time-honored techniques. And to end on a sweet note, we’ll make the famous torta pasticciotto, an irresistible dessert that embodies the essence of our gastronomic culture. Your Cesarina, Pierangela, can't wait to guide you on this unique culinary journey!

    Had a great morning with Pierangela where she taught me how to make two local pastas and the most delicious tiramisu. She and her husband were very welcoming and provided gorgeous pasta sauces, bread, cheeses, and other lovely dishes (and of course Prosecco!). Looking forward to receiving the recipes so I can try them at home. Recommend this class highly to get a real taste of local cooking.

    Hello, my name is Pierangela, and cooking for others is one of the things that brings me the most joy. Since I was a child, I've wanted to experiment with the traditional recipes of my hometown. I was born in Gravina in Puglia, a town on the border between Puglia and Basilicata, boasting an incredibly rich culinary tradition. It's precisely this richness that drives me to cook: so many recipes, so many flavors, unique and unmistakable, exclusively ours. Panzerotti, focaccia barese, Pan cotto alla gravinese, U' ruccl (typical San Giuseppe focaccia), sweet ricotta calzones with pork ragu, orecchiette al tegamino, cavatelli, baked finocchietti, cartellate, and much more—these are the typical flavors of my homeland. For the past 12 years, I have been living in Lecce, in the wonderful and spectacular Salento, and from the beginning, I started to savor and create dishes typical of the Salento tradition, including the famous Pezzetti di cavallo, Ciceri e tria, Pittule, Pizzo, Frise, and the unmissable pasticciotto.
