Memory cooking represents those simple dishes, full of memories, that take us back to childhood, often to the cooking of grandmothers or mothers. As a grandmother and mother, I love to prepare and offer this type of cuisine, taking a dive with my guests into my origins as a Southern woman. Inevitable is the pizza Margherita, which together with lasagna represents a must on my table. Then, the potato and spring onion novelle ruoto with bombette, meatballs with fresh tomato sauce and, to finish, zeppole with sour cherries, warm and fragrant or madeleines, the dessert of memory par excellence.

- 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 is a good host, she loves to teach cooking and takes good care of her guests. In her classes she demonstrates and you work yourself. The result was delicious.
- A very warm welcome- gluten free intolerance was no problem. We did the gluten free version and my husband the normal version. All items that we needed were prepared for us and a feast to share when we finished the cooking class. A wonderful experience that I would highly recommend! Thank you Giovanella and the lovely assistant Pina

Cesarina from 2024Location: Martina Franca 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.
