Hi from Claudia!

Hi, my name is Claudia and I am a lover of the typical dishes of my city. My passion was born since childhood, thanks to my grandmother who taught me traditional Apulian dishes such as orecchiette with" braciole "sauce, rice, potatoes and mussels, parmigiana, stuffed aubergines and other specialties that I keep in my culinary baggage. I enjoy preparing for my family and guests, trying to make them feel at home through my dishes, also sharing my way with them to live .

Our Cesarine, Claudia M., was wonderful. Even though the experience was different than anticipated, Claudia, her husband Sepp, daughter and translator friend were lovely. We had signed up for a market and food tour, but somehow the tour kept changing our meeting place and what we were going to do. We were interested in the local food and culture. Sadly, several of the sights we went to were closed. We ended up having coffee, foccacia and gelato, for about $100pp. I do realize we also paid for her time, and that is ok. We went to a grocery store that sold wonderful pastas and she bought us a bag of biscuits from a bakery to snack on. We have done tours like this before where our guide notified establishments that we were coming, and because they were expecting us they set out a local food samples to try, and were a bit more organized. Next time I would opt to go to Claudia's home for a cooking lesson and enjoy her lovely company that way.

Great experience! Food was amazing and very plentiful and company was wonderful as well. If you book ask them to set up a taxi for you if you arrive in downtown Brindisi. Highly recommend this experience

Amazing experience!! Would highly recommend to anyone this was one of the best experiences of my entire Italy trip. You travel for true culture, relationships and food and you get all three with this family. This was the best pasta and tiramisu I had on the trip and the family is just so genuine and great to be around. Can’t say enough positive things.

Claudia and her family were perfect hosts. She even had a translator on hand to help! The dishes were authentic and delicious. She showed us how to make her sauce and the other dishes were made by her and served to us in a lovely garden setting. We would have loved to be part of the preparations and cooking, but Claudia shared her recipes with us and we all had a lot to talk about! It was a wonderful experience. Her husband also showed us around his property and was very gracious . Definitely recommended!
