    Pumpkin is one of the symbolic ingredients of autumn and a key player in many traditional recipes from Northern Italy. Sweet, tender, and incredibly versatile, it will take center stage in this cooking class, where we’ll explore different ways to prepare it. Together, we’ll make dishes that tell stories of family and local heritage, such as classic pumpkin tortelli with mostarda and amaretti, delicate zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta and anchovies, and an irresistible pumpkin cake with Gonzaga roots. A flavorful and engaging lesson, paired with farmer’s wine and coffee, to discover how simple ingredients can become pure culinary excellence.

    During the lockdown, while I was at home, I found a notebook that contained something very precious to me. I remember that, as a child, I had started writing my grandmother's recipes in that notebook while watching her cook with joy, often singing. One day, she told me: “Whatever you decide to do in your life, learn to cook, because your kitchen will always bring home the people you love.” It was only years later, with that discovery, that I truly understood its meaning. Mothers have always nurtured humanity by keeping the fire of care alive. Amidst our frenzy, we have forgotten what every woman knows deep down: there is a sacred bond. Humanity is the child of mothers, and today, more than ever, it desperately needs to be cared for. The recipes I share are those of my family, rooted in my Puglian origins, based on vegetables, fish, and legumes. And it is well known that Puglia is the birthplace of the world's best cuisine, that of the Mediterranean diet.
