- “Great cooking class experience near Lecce in a private home. Very good recipe and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!”
- This was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. Francesca is an excellent teacher and provided a fun and authentic Italian cooking class in her own home. She was beautifully supported by her daughter and we cooked 3 main dishes plus a desert. We also got to take away the recipes. Many thanks for a very enjoyable day. Highly recommend,
- This was my favourite PUGLIA EXPERIENCE! Francesco and Francesca welcomed us with open arms in their home. Their hospitality has really warmed our hearts and made our trip to Italy worth wild! We were welcomed with some homemade focaccia, AMAZING burratta, wine and They have spent the night showing us how to make orecchiette by hand. We then ate the orecchiette and I must say they were the best I have ever had! We were pleasantly surprised by the most beautiful homemade strawberry tart made by Francesca. This was a delicious and heart warming experience. I highly recommend!
- When I lived in Perugia Italy, I had the pleasure of being welcomed into the homes of Italian friends for many wonderful meals and hours of lively conversation. Fast forward a few decades to a long awaited visit to Puglia where my wife and I thought to take a Cesarine cooking class for a bit of that experience and a chance to taste genuine local cuisine. Our original reservation in Lecce fell through and we accepted another in nearby Copertino. Lucky, lucky us. Our evening in the warmth and comfort of an utterly wonderful Italian family was indeed "molto altro" than just a cooking class! Make no mistake, Francesca will guide your culinary efforts with grace and humor. A magically delicious meal will be served no matter how clumsily you form the orecchiette (guilty). There will be a transcendent Tiramisu. Most of all, will be the amazing glow of being "in famiglia" and the evening having flown by. Truly special. Not to be missed.
- Esperienza piacevole e tranquilla in compagnia della cesarina Francesca e la figlia Carlotta. Molto buoni i prodotti del Salento e le sagne con la stracciatella. Una vera e propria scoperta è stato il caffè con ghiaccio e liquore alle mandorle. apprezzato e preso due volte.

Francesca
Cesarina from 2020Location: Lecce Languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish"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. "
