Your experience
The main dish of the family lunch? In first place, of course, orecchiette! In fresh tomato sauce with cacioricotta cheese or with turnip greens, when they are in season. This is followed by meatballs a sugo... and here the scarpetta is a must, with homemade bread. I'm Francesca, I'm a cooking enthusiast, I relax by being at the stove and I like to be in company. This experience will allow you to be at the table in absolute tranquility, as a family, savoring Salento and all its genuine products that I will carefully choose for you.

- Went with my wife and in-laws and had an amazing time learning to make orecchiette and tiramisu. The food was amazing and the entire family was very personable and welcoming. Would recommend:)
- Francesca and her daughters hosted my wife and me for a wonderful 4-5 hour market visit and cooking session. They welcomed us in their beautiful home and it was lovely learning more about the local Italian culture while making delicious orecchiete, focaccia and pasticciotto. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
- We had a delightful day at Francesca’s house making orecchiette and ravioli. Francesca and her daughters are lovely, and they helped our 6yo and 3yo learn to make pasta by hand and with the pasta machine. A great experience for everyone!
- Don’t hesitate to book this; I had a fabulous, fun day with Francesca and her daughters in their beautiful home. Not only learning how to make two superb local pastas and tiramisu with the freshest ingredients, I learnt many things about food and life in beautiful Puglia. I will recommend this to all my friends. Thank you.
- EXCELENTE. Francesca nos hizo sentir como en casa, además de ofrecernos una exquisita cena y guia de cocina. Muy recomendable

Cesarina from 2020Location: Lecce Languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish"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. "
