Hi from Daniela!
"I was born and raised in this beautiful land, Salento. I decided to give shape to the innate passion for cooking, a source of sociality and sharing with loved ones, like friends and relatives. Cooking relaxes me, distracts me, allows me to experiment and go in search of new recipes and flavors, as well as to give expression to creativity and texture to the taste. I'll welcome guests in my house, to convey to them the secrets of our dishes and cook together."
My specialities

- Well, I had never done such a course before and as my Italian is practically nonexistent I must say I was a little apprehensive… I had no need to be. This was a most delightful experience….. so let me tell you. I show up at the appointment time to warm greetings from Daniela’s son. He brought me into meet a gracious and enthusiastic Daniela. We chatted over coffee to get to know each other a bit and then it was down to work on a four course Mother’s Day lunch. This was the best surprise for me…. I thought that I had come just to learn to cook octopus. On the menu was a fish pasta primo followed by the most tender octopus and potato purée secondo..Dulce was a delicious strawberry limoncello salad and to top it off some homemade granita… But that’s not the best part… as we were finishing the meal preparation who arrives but Nonna. Followed by Daniela’s sister. So I got to sit down to the most welcoming Mother’s Day Sunday lunch with a room full of the kindest and most generous people I believe I’ve ever met. A memory of a lifetime. And I now know how to cook octopus:) Thank you so much Paul
