Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
If you visit Bari, you cannot miss the iconic spaghetti all'assassina! I invite you to my home for an authentic cooking class where you will learn how to prepare them in the traditional way. I'll show you every step, revealing all the secrets to achieve a crispy, flavorful and perfectly "seared" pasta. I will welcome you with a glass of wine, olives and typical taralli, then we will move to the stove to cook this Bari specialty together. Finally, we will enjoy the fruits of our labor with another glass of wine. A tasty and fun experience to take home a real piece of Puglia!
It was great experience to learn how to make cavatelli (traditional pasta barese) and tagliatelle and tiramisu with a very kind and very professional host, Monica. At the end we ate our own made dishes together as old friends! :-) Everyone should try this!
Mónika&Zsolt Szekeres -
Learning to make focaccia Barese with Monica was a wonderful experience. We have taken part in many cooking classes in Italy and look for small group hands-on involvement rather than simply watching someone prepare food. It was clear upon Monica’s warm welcome into her home that this private session would be perfect for us. It was like learning from and sitting down to dinner with friends. As our heritage is Barese, it is especially important to us to preserve traditional recipes, and we fully intend to put this learning to use at home.

It was an experience as I had hoped it would be. Monica is a wonderful host. Nice and friendly and very helpful. She made us a wonderful dinner and we were pleased to come in her house and meet her family and friends.
Nice to see how she made the pasta and tells with love about food and cooking. And also the dessert was delicious.
A good choice to do!

Just the best cooking class with Monica in her home. We learned to make: tremisu, cavateli pasta, and a wonderful tomato sauce. It was delicious. Highly recommend it.

My cuisine is primarily inspired by the typical dishes of my region, with a special focus on leavened foods of all kinds. However, from time to time, I enjoy exploring dishes from around the world. What I aim to offer to guests is a journey through traditional cuisine enriched with a distinctive personal touch. The authentic flavors of my region blend with creativity, creating a gastronomic experience that is both familiar and surprising.
