Your experience
Imagine enjoying an authentic Salento appetizer, a journey into the genuine flavors of this land. You'll discover sceblasti, the traditional bread of Zollino, and crispy friselline, topped with fresh cherry tomatoes, oregano, basil and olive oil, for an explosion of freshness and flavor. You can't miss a traditional classic: pittule, fluffy balls of fried dough, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This mix of flavors and tradition will transport you to the heart of Salento. I'm waiting for you!

- Thank you, Lucia! I had a great time with you, learning playfully about the specialities of the Salento region, getting to know the traditional way of making local pasta (as well as a typical Tiramisu) and eating a very delicious meal!
- I recently had the pleasure of taking a cooking class with Lucia, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Lucia's passion for Salento cuisine is infectious, and her warm and welcoming personality made the class both fun and informative. From the moment we stepped into her beautiful kitchen, we were immersed in the flavors and aromas of the region. Lucia expertly guided us through the preparation of traditional dishes, sharing her knowledge and tips along the way. She made even the most novice cook feel confident and capable. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and it was such a treat to enjoy the fruits of our labor together at the end of the class. Lucia's cooking class is not just a lesson in cooking; it's a cultural experience that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the Salento region and its culinary traditions. I highly recommend Lucia's cooking class to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable culinary experience. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, you're sure to learn something new and have a great time. Thank you, Lucia, for an unforgettable day!
- We had an amazing time cooking with Lucia! The markets were a very fun experience and making homemade pasta was a blast! We highly reccomend this one if you are in the area and Lucia is fun and amazing host and chef. Cheers!
- What a blast! Lucia was nothing short of amazing! We had an amazing time at the market with her and her friend Paolo. Pasta making was so much fun as well as tiramisu and best of all we had it for lunch…Bravo! Grazie mille
- We had a wonderful time. Lucia gave us excellent, hands-on instruction in pasta making and Tiramisu. She was very warm and welcoming and we had interesting conversation about food and life in Puglia over delicious home cooking. It is a memory we will always treasure and we would highly recommend the experience. Thank you Lucia.

Cesarina from 2024Location: Lecce Languages: Italian and English"You always cook thinking of someone, otherwise you're just preparing food" What I love most is passing down the traditions of my region through culinary art, that is, everything that has been passed down to me by my grandmothers since I was a child. A journey that goes from homemade pasta, to traditional pittule, to the typical sweets of my land.
