We will prepare tasty traditional Pugliese dishes together, from appetizer to dessert!
We will start by revisiting some typical ingredients of my land, we will use them to create unique and tasty dishes! How about a crostino with burrata, "scattarisciati" cherry tomatoes and basil? We will then proceed with the preparation of a tasty first course of fresh pasta, unfailing will be the orecchiette, undisputed queens of Puglia. We will then conclude with the preparation of Bari's sporcanuss, hot and fragrant! I am waiting for you!

- It was a super experience. Nice to be at home with your local cook! Pierangela was very Nice.
- It was a great experience. When we asked her why she is giving these cooking classes in her own house, she told that she loves to bring the world in her house and meet new people all from all over the world. After this nice evening with great focaccia, pizza and tiramisu lessons we felt like friends. 1 Small thing, instead of letting the guests do the preparing, you are a little fast with taking over. 😉 When we are back, we are definitely going to make everything we were taught. Thank you again for a great and warm evening!
- My experience making focaccia with Pierangela was wonderful. She is very kindly, a good teacher, has a very pleasant conversation and a great sense of humor. I spent the best hours oh my day with she and her friend. Thanks very much
- The cooking class with Pierangela was a wonderful experience. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised that we were the only people in the class. Pierangela taught us first how to make a delicious tiramisu then both orecchiette and cavatelli. All were done from scratch. Once the food was cooked we sat down to a scrumptious dinner with her husband and 2 year old daughter. She cooked some additional goodies to go along with what we prepared together. This was one of the most memorable things we did on our 9 day visit around Puglia. By the time we finished 3 hours later we felt like family with her little one calling my wife Santina NONA. We have already made the tiramisu twice since arriving home 3 weeks ago and it it was great - she taught us well. If you visit Lecce this cooking class with Pierangela is a MUST DO experience
- What an absolute rockstar. Thank you for hosting us in your home, teaching us all the wonderful things, and letting me borrow your doggo. Spend some time with this wonderful young woman, you’ll be glad you did and leave very; very very; full.

Pierangela
Cesarina from 2024Location: Lecce Languages: English and ItalianHello, my name is Pierangela, and cooking for others is one of the things that brings me the most joy. Since I was a child, I've wanted to experiment with the traditional recipes of my hometown. I was born in Gravina in Puglia, a town on the border between Puglia and Basilicata, boasting an incredibly rich culinary tradition. It's precisely this richness that drives me to cook: so many recipes, so many flavors, unique and unmistakable, exclusively ours. Panzerotti, focaccia barese, Pan cotto alla gravinese, U' ruccl (typical San Giuseppe focaccia), sweet ricotta calzones with pork ragu, orecchiette al tegamino, cavatelli, baked finocchietti, cartellate, and much more—these are the typical flavors of my homeland. For the past 12 years, I have been living in Lecce, in the wonderful and spectacular Salento, and from the beginning, I started to savor and create dishes typical of the Salento tradition, including the famous Pezzetti di cavallo, Ciceri e tria, Pittule, Pizzo, Frise, and the unmissable pasticciotto.
