Salento on a plate: authentic and unforgettable flavours

Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

My Salento cooking class is much more than just a cooking lesson; it’s a journey into the ancient rural traditions of my homeland.

You’ll have the unique opportunity to discover local culinary secrets, make fresh pasta using grain from my region, and then enjoy what we’ve prepared together in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. The key ingredient is love: Salento cuisine is all about authentic flavours; for us, food is a warm embrace, and the dining table is home. In my kitchen, you’ll smell the aromas of days gone by and feel the love of yesteryear – it will be an unforgettable experience. Together we’ll prepare ‘ciciri e tria’ – pasta and chickpeas – ‘sagne ncannulate col sugo di braciola’ – hand-twisted pasta with a sauce made from meat rolls – and, for dessert, the traditional ‘pasticciotto’.
