Hi from Francesca!
"For me, being in front of the stove is really a pleasure, which I often share with our friends. Pleasure in preparing something genuine that often takes us back to the kitchens of our grandmothers, crowded with relatives, especially during the holidays. Our territory is rich in poor but exceptional products, which I like to serve in the simplest way possible, precisely to enhance them. "

- It was a unique experience of Italian cuisine. Our host Francesca not only gave us an insight into her cooking skills but also a deep insight into Apulian cuisine. Definitely an experience that I can recommend and would repeat.
- Francesca was an excellent teacher. The class was very nice and informative. She taught us well how to make different types of pasta and the real authentic Tiramisu. It's great to have people from all around the world to share stories an make pasta together.
