Private Experience
Your experience
  • Focaccia and panzerotti with seasonal vegetables, cold cuts and local cheeses
  • Strascinati (homemade pasta) with turnip tops
  • Cartellate (thin pastry with honey or cooked wine) or amaretti

I await you in my ancient trullo, among the almond trees, olive trees and enchanted alleyways of Alberobello, to experience an unforgettable moment, made up of flavors and colors typical of Pugliese culinary art.

Together we learn three typical Pugliese recipes, from appetizer to dessert, and put our hands in pasta to make the striscianti, with its very special shape, evoked by its name. To finish, the Pugliese cartellate, following the family recipe, that has been passed down from generation to generation. I discovered my passion for cooking when I was only seven years old. Today I continue with love to prepare and share, with my guests, genuine and typical dishes, using the products of my land, to give quality, genuineness and sustainability in the kitchen.

Many thanks to Maria, we're from Germany and experienced authentic Italian cuisine with her. The whole thing was in her trullo. Totally rustic. Everything was not just as we imagined, but better. At the end, we sampled everything at the large table in her garden. Simple but incredibly varied and delicious.

Maria was absolutely amazing! She welcomed us into her beautiful home and taught us to cook a whole range of delicious Puglia dishes. For me, the best thing was that she understood and accommodated my food allergies effortlessly and made me feel super safe and relaxed throughout. I’d highly recommend her to anyone (especially anyone else with dietary requirements!). Thank you so much, Maria. We had a wonderful afternoon and will be making the dishes you taught us back in London!
