Shared Experience
Your experience

    Let’s discover together the art of preparing traditional orecchiette from Puglia, a dish that symbolizes Southern Italian cuisine, which we will season with flavorful cime di rapa (turnip greens) or broccoli, depending on the seasonal preferences. While our orecchiette are drying, we will dedicate ourselves to preparing delicious soft lemon cookies, with a fresh and inviting aroma, adding a sweet touch to our culinary experience.

    At the end of this journey through the authentic flavors of Puglia, we will conclude with a tasting of the dishes we’ve prepared, where each bite will tell the story of tradition. There will also be a starter of friselle with fresh tomatoes, a simple yet flavorful dish, all accompanied by a glass of Primitivo di Manduria, a fine red wine from the region.

    I had the most wonderful experience at the Italian cooking class hosted by Deborah and Janette. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a warm and inviting space that instantly felt like home. Both hosts were not only knowledgeable and passionate about Italian cuisine, but also genuinely interested in sharing stories and learning about each other’s cultures. It was such a joy to connect over delicious food and meaningful conversation. The class struck the perfect balance between hands-on learning and relaxed enjoyment. I left with a full heart, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for the traditions behind the dishes we prepared. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and enriching culinary experience in Italy!

    I highly recommend if you are in Bologna to take a cooking class with Deborah! It's more than learning to cook regional cuisine, you are also experiencing the true value of traveling—making connections. Deborah not only makes delicious food, but she is also warm and friendly. One can enjoy food (prepared with her guidance) while engaging in authentic, personable conversations. If I am ever in Bologna again, I plan to take another class! 😃
