Puglia at the Table: Focaccia, Orecchiette and Almond Cakes.
The intent of this cooking class is to give you a taste of Puglia with 3 must-haves of Apulian cuisine: fragrant focaccia with tomatoes , oregano, olives and onion; handmade orecchiette pasta made with Semola coming from ancient grains and topped with garden tomatoes and turnips; and finally the fantastic Apulian almonds in small, simple and fragrant sweets. These dishes speak for themselves of the simplicity and authenticity of Apulian cuisine suitable for all palates and even for vegans and vegetarians! I am waiting for you we will have fun while I tell you many anecdotes about our land.

- Overall the only ingredients we used were flour, semolina, olive oil, olives, tomatoes, 2 eggs, cocoa powder, sugar, ladyfingers, Strega and coffee liquors and salt and created the best focaccia we have ever had, two kinds of pasta, orechiette and cavatelli, and a stupendous tira mi su. After it all cooked and /or rested, we lunched on everything along with 4 local cheeses, 5 homemade jellies, one a savory peperonata, 3 local salume, and locally produced wines. The meal was restaurant quality (maybe better!), Giovannella was an effective, entertaining, and educational teacher, and the Masseria was lovely to visit. We highly recommend this experience to everyone!
- What a lovely experience. It all started with a warm welcome. Giovannella did everything to give us a great time. It's a shame the rain spoiled things, but this was more than compensated for by the hostess's enthusiasm! Super experience! Thank you for everything.
- Wonderful moment with Jeanette, who speak a very good French ! This was a pleasure to go to the market, to taste everything we were curious on. Then going to Jeanette’s Masseria, we cooked pasta, had a coffee and discussed about technics and trick that will help us make the same at home. We had a great meal and many advices on the region and the local food to taste ! Thank you very much Jeanette !
- Giovannella is a great teacher and super welcoming host. I loved her passion for food. We made delicious tiramisu and orechiette. And we had an entertaining afternoon and dinner. Go and experience, I would advise.

Giovannella
Cesarina from 2024Location: Martina Franca (TA) Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, FrenchMy cooking is the result of a family passion passed down from my mother, my grandmother, and shaped by the experiences and places that have been part of my life. I love cooking with seasonal, local products, and whenever possible, ingredients from my own garden. I enjoy growing and using aromatic herbs, transforming fruit into unique and healthy jams, as well as creating traditional liqueurs. My cuisine is typical of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, as a Neapolitan transplanted to Puglia, with Sicilian and Campanian grandmothers and a Pugliese mother-in-law. I love French cuisine and exploring “fusion” experiences that blend Southern Italian and international flavors.
