Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
In the historic setting of my home in Barivecchia, a short distance from the sea and the Murattian center, I host cultural events such as photo exhibitions, craft shows, swing concerts and theater performances. In addition, I organize cooking classes dedicated to mussels. During these sessions, we will prepare delicious mussels au gratin, perfect to enjoy as an aperitif accompanied by a glass of chilled wine. Next, we will make cavatelli, which we will season with mussel sauce and a little chili. We will finish with a single-portion tiramisu, following tradition. During the event, I will reveal some tricks to make the dishes even more special, all accompanied by pleasant jazz music. To end on a high note, I will treat you to an excellent coffee.

- We had a great night with Valentina! Cooking was fun, simple local ingredients and delicious. We felt very comfortable and welcome in her families beautifully renovated home in Bari old town. The evening was very relaxed and informative with great conversation about the local area, local food and places to visit. A trip highlight, we highly recommend!

- Valentina is an excellent and warm host. We felt her genuine hospitality as soon as we walked in her home. She is very patient with her instructions. What is also interesting is she injects side stories on the history of the recipe, including her personal experiences. We left her home with the feeling that we have a new friend in Bari.
- We had a wonderful experience with Valentina! She was very welcoming and her house is really warm and nice and sets a good mood for the cooking class. We had a lovely chat, cooked and had a meal together. Would definitely recommend to anyone to give it a try!
- Valentina was a fantastic host. The experience felt very authentic. I highly recommend.
- Valentina was so kind and knowledgeable, she taught us skill we immediately were able to take and use a few days after. She also gave us tips on where else to eat and explore in Bari.

I enjoy adding a personal touch to traditional recipes from my area. Living in the ancient village, I love to "steal" the secrets from the guardians of ancient recipes, now known worldwide.
