Shared Experience
Your experience

    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!

    We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend it! I’m so happy that I can now make fresh pasta from scratch. Every single dish that Pierangela prepared was absolutely delicious. It was honestly the nicest food we ate during our 10-day trip around Italy! Everything was fresh, authentic, and made with so much care. Both Pierangela and her husband were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. It felt like being invited into a family home rather than attending a cooking class, which made the experience even more special. Thank you for such a wonderful evening, amazing food, and memories we’ll treasure. Grazie mille!

    Pierangela and her husband were really welcoming. We booked this cooking experience for our trip to Puglia and it did not disappoint. We learnt how to make pasta and tiramisu and were full up by the end of the evening. We would thoroughly recommend her she was great!

    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.
