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. "

We had such a wonderful time cooking with Francesca and her lovely daughters! We learned how to make fresh orrechiete. We felt like family sitting at the table eating, sipping on wine and sharing stories! Francesca made everything from scratch including foccacia, meatballs and pasticiotto torte which was a favorite. Cooking with Francesca was a highlight of our two week trip to Puglia and we look forward to returning next year for her pizza class🥰 Grazie, Francesca, for such a fantastic time and special memories!

We had a great experience, Francesca had welcomed us in her home. Very delicious food together prepared and Francesca made a typical puglian dessert. I would recommend this experience.👌

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.
