- What an absolute rockstar. Thank you for hosting us in your home, teaching us all the wonderful things, and letting me borrow your doggo. Spend some time with this wonderful young woman, you’ll be glad you did and leave very; very very; full.
- Pierangela was a an amazing host! We had a great time. Attending this cooking class was an absolute delight! From start to finish, the experience was both educational and incredibly enjoyable. The Pierangela was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about food, which made the whole atmosphere warm and inviting. She took the time to explain each step. The food was delicious. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their culinary skills and have a fantastic time doing it!
- Le cours de cuisine avec Pierangela était super. Nous avons cuisiné deux foccacias. La recette est celle de la grand-mère de Pierangela. Elles étaient délicieuses. Pierangela avait préparé à l’avance deux pâtes pour qu’elles aient le temps de lever avant le cours. Nous avons façonné les foccacias et fait une foccacia à la tomate et l’autre aux pomme terre . Nous avons refait des pâtes à foccacia nous même qui seront prêtes plus tard dans la journée. Pierangela avait préparé plein de légumes pour agrémenter les foccacias sue nous avons manger ensemble le midi autour d’une bière. C’était une superbe expérience que nous recommandons. Nous avons passé un très bon moment
- We had such a fabulous experience learning how to make pasta with Pierangela! We made orecchiette, cavatelli and tiramisu and it was all delicious. It was such a lovely experience being in a locals home and learning how to make traditional, local dishes. Pierangela’s husband prepared some delicious bruschettas to have before our meal and we were joined by their friends and young daughter - such a fabulous experience. We can’t wait to show our friends back home our new pasta making skills. Would recommend anyone to do a cooking class with Pierangela :)
- What an experience to be welcomed into Pierangela and Francesco’s home for a 1 on 1 pasta making class! We first made a tiramisu… and right to the pasta making! Orecchiette and cavateli…made by hand by us! Wow! We were even joined at one point by Piera’s adorable 2 year old, Alice in the pasta making! Piera prepared a selection of delicious bruschettas to start our supper, along with some beautiful Rose! Piera prepared to different sauces .. both incredible! She is a fabulous teacher. I would love to come back to Lecce and take more classes with her! It’s a day I will cherish forever!!

Pierangela
Cesarina from 2024Location: Lecce Languages: English and ItalianHello, 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.
