Hi from Giuseppa!

I was barely taller than the kitchen table when, as a child, I delighted in watching, a curious spectator, as my mother and aunt busily worked at the stove, preparing traditional local dishes for lunch or dinner. Gradually, that routine of simple, loving gestures and the careful selection of genuine ingredients, which turned into familiar flavors on the plate, became the fundamental ingredients of my own cooking today. I'm a gourmet at heart, and I love cooking for my family, friends, and, in the spirit of hospitality, I also enjoy dedicating time to travelers who, on their journey through Italy, not only explore Puglia and Lecce—its Baroque art, ancient architecture, historic palaces, and the sea—but also wish to savor a bit of our Apulian culinary tradition. For them, I love to prepare sagne 'ncannulate, legumes and meat cooked in a clay pot, homemade pasta with local herbs, savory vegetable pies, and almond pastries.

We had a fantastic experience learning how to make delicious pasta with Giussepa in her lovely home! She also taught us how to make appetizers with local cheese, olives and capers as well as a simple tomato sauce and tiramisu. She is an excellent and non-intimating teacher and a gracious host. We had a lovely evening sharing our love of food with her! We wholeheartedly recommend taking her class! Her English and teaching skills are impecable!
