Hi from Anna!

Bari has been the crossroads of a variety of cultures: Greek and Latin, Longobard and Byzantine, Norman, Roman and medieval. Each of them knew, particularly when it came to the culinary arts, how to gather and preserve knowledge and flavors. Within this mix of culture and gastronomy, we meet Cesarina Anna. Anna welcomes her guests into her large living room. In spring and summer, she likes to greet them on the terrace to enjoy the view of the city. Her home is always open to welcoming and looking after her guest. Anna’s passion for food and wine was born out of curiosity. "Really knowing the ingredients, sampling all the good things our vegetable gardens and harbors offer, talking with the producers themselves and understanding the work involved, putting myself out there to create the traditional dishes of our culinary culture have all helped to refine my palate" A hobby that developed over time into a constant commitment, Anna approaches her cooking with both seriousness and professionalism, even if she’s just cooking for pure personal pleasure. She uses a careful selection of seasonal local products to prepare her meals made up of traditional dishes, but without foregoing a bit of modern reinterpretation.

Anna was amazing. She was so patient and kind. She taught us so well that I came home and made some pasta from memory. I can’t recommend her enough. She is amazing.

We had a great cooking experience with Anna and her friend making 3 types of pasta and Tiramisu.They were both very welcoming and excellent teachers.This was followed by a 3 course meal including our homemade Tiramisu and delicious chocolate liquor in Anna's living room. This was a highlight of our trip to Italy and we would highly recommend Anna

It was an amazing experience with Anna, and perhaps one of the best part of out 10 days in Italy. I will just make suggestion for future guests. Get a taxi with GPS, because the address numbers on the street are counter intuitive. The Number 1 address is not on the same block as # 2-8, its on the block before. Our cab driver dropped us off and said "It should be here someplace, and we didnt find it. My phone could not hook up to service in the area, so it put us in a panic mode. Anna is sending us the recipes we learned.

We booked the Pasta and Tiramisu cooking class with Anna. We had a lot of fun making our first selfmade Orecchiette and cooking them. We really enjoyed the class and can highly recommend.

Anna is the most gracious hostess and instructor. We learned to make 3 types of pasta and the most incredible tiramisu. After our lesson, Anna cooked us a gourmet meal of antipasto which included cheeses, meats, several vegetable spreads and homemade breads, orecchiette with homemade tomato sauce. For a palate cleanser she served incredibly delicious carrots and fennel before we ate our tiramisu and had a tasting of her homemade chocolate liquor. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Anna and Cesarine when you are in Bari.
