Your experience

    The highlight of the family lunch? First and foremost, of course, orecchiette! With fresh tomato sauce and cacioricotta cheese or turnip greens, when in season. This is followed by meatballs in sauce... and here it is a must to mop up the sauce with homemade bread. My name is Francesca, I am passionate about cooking, I relax when I am in the kitchen and I enjoy being in company. This experience will allow you to sit at the table in complete tranquility, with the family, savoring Salento and all its genuine products that I will carefully choose for you.

    Francesca is an amazing host. We learnt how to make orecchiette and focaccia. For three hours we cooked and chatted and time flew by. It was a wonderfully genuine Italian cooking experience. Her daughters joined us also for lunch and made us feel so very much at home. Wonderful people!

    Beautifully done and a real authentic experience in Francesca’s home. Very welcoming and Francesca does a good job teaching the technical and artistic aspects of making pasta and one side dish. I learned so much about real Italian ingredients and regional wines.

    We had the best experience of learning the whole process of making pizza. Francesca was really patient with us, we had so many questions in general and she has taught us a lot of things. Overall our experience was best.

    Very nice! Super fun and memorable experience. Interesting to learn how to make pasta. She’s very kind as well as her pretty family. I recomend!

    Francesca very patiently taught our 3 kids (ages 8, 11, and 13) how to make focaccia and orecchiette and macaroni. The kids loved kneading dough and making shapes. She is very sweet and speaks good English! Lunch was lovely and it was interesting to be in a real home. Highly recommend, especially to families!

    "For me, being in front of the stove is really a pleasure, which I often share with our friends. Pleasure in preparing something genuine that often takes us back to the kitchens of our grandmothers, crowded with relatives, especially during the holidays. Our territory is rich in poor but exceptional products, which I like to serve in the simplest way possible, precisely to enhance them. "
