Come discover Puglia and Salento through a culinary journey with me! The undisputed stars will be orecchiette, our renowned fresh pasta known all over the world, prepared strictly by hand at the moment with selected flours. I will show you the process of creating these little wonders and let you savor the magic of an ancient gesture that tells so much about our land.
We will accompany the orecchiette with freshly baked focaccia, cheeses from local farms and an excellent wine to welcome you to my home. We will then end the meal with a delicious tart prepared with my own hands. I am waiting for you to share together the authentic culinary experience of Puglia and Salento!

- One of the best experiences of my life! I would score higher if possible. Francesca was a charming host and a good teacher. The resulting meal was exceptional. We had the added privilege of meeting her 3 daughters who were equally as charming as their mother. When the time was over, it felt like we were saying goodbye to old friends. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful cooking experience on a personal level.
- Our time cooking with Francesca and her beautiful family in their home was a highlight of our trip to Lecce. They were all so warm and welcoming and we are so appreciative of the time they gave us. We made 3 dishes and all were fantastic! Days later we are talking about the first dishes we’re going to recreate on our own at home. Francesca is a patient teacher and marvellous cook and we are so lucky that we had the opportunity to learn these traditional Italian dishes from her. Thank you, Francesca! Xo
- Francesca is an amazing host. We learnt how to make orecchiette and focaccia. For three hours we cooked and chatted and time flew by. It was a wonderfully genuine Italian cooking experience. Her daughters joined us also for lunch and made us feel so very much at home. Wonderful people!
- Beautifully done and a real authentic experience in Francesca’s home. Very welcoming and Francesca does a good job teaching the technical and artistic aspects of making pasta and one side dish. I learned so much about real Italian ingredients and regional wines.
- We had the best experience of learning the whole process of making pizza. Francesca was really patient with us, we had so many questions in general and she has taught us a lot of things. Overall our experience was best.

Cesarina from 2020Location: Lecce (LE) Languages: Italian and English"For me, being in front of the stove is really a pleasure, which I often share with our friends. Pleasure in preparing something genuine that often takes us back to the kitchens of our grandmothers, crowded with relatives, especially during the holidays. Our territory is rich in poor but exceptional products, which I like to serve in the simplest way possible, precisely to enhance them. "
