Shared Experience
Your experience
Authentic fresh pasta made from scratch: you will learn how to create the classic orecchiette from Puglia, the twisted 'sagne 'ncannulate,' or maccheroni (your choice). Before we get our hands on the dough, we will enjoy an aperitif in the garden with Salento's pittule (soft, deep-fried leavened dough balls), eggplant parmigiana, and croquettes. All accompanied by fine local wine. The tiramisu will be the classic one, with mascarpone cream, ladyfingers, and coffee brewed in the traditional moka pot. We will conclude our gathering with a refreshing homemade limoncello.

- My husband and I had so much fun! Lidia was warm and welcoming. Ot was so interesting to be in an actual home and watch how their delicious food is actually made. When the cooking was done, we sat out in their garden/patio and ate the fruits of our labor plus a few more of lLidia’s. We had wine and limoncello to top off a wonderful day! I highly recommend this experience to all!

- Lidia was a complete joy. So friendly and welcoming in her home. Speaking different languages didn’t stop us from communicating and enjoying a wonderful lunch with her and her family. Would highly recommend her to anyone.
