¡Hola de parte de Lucia!
Siempre se cocina pensando en alguien, de lo contrario solo se está preparando comida. Lo que más me gusta es transmitir las tradiciones de mi tierra a través del arte culinario, es decir, todo lo que me han transmitido mis abuelas desde que era niña. Un recorrido que va desde la pasta casera, pasando por las tradicionales pittule, hasta los dulces típicos de mi tierra.
Mis especialidades
- Entrantes salentinos como pittule, friselline y sceblasti.
- Orecchiette con salsa
- Pasticciotto o tiramisú

- Esperienza fantastica! Lucia ha spiegato in modo approfondito tutte le tecniche, sia moderne sia quelle tradizionali “da nonna”. Anche due principianti come me e la mia amica siamo riuscite a preparare tre tipi di pasta e un tiramisù, e tutto era assolutamente delizioso. Lucia era molto appassionata delle tradizioni e dello stile della cucina locale, e si percepiva chiaramente che cucinava con amore. La consiglierei a chiunque, indipendentemente dal livello di esperienza in cucina.
- Lucia was amazing, we had such a lovely experience in her home and felt very welcome. We made some amazing traditional things for the region of Zollino and we were told some amazing legends and stories behind it all. Lucia even played and sang for us the Taranta folklore song 👏🏻. I recommend Lucia highly.
- We had such a lovely cooking class from Lucia! It was really our best thing we did during our stay in Puglia. Lucia is so sweet and so patient. She explains really good how everything works and what the best way is to make the dishes. We enjoyed it so much! I will come back with my kids next time. Lucia is the best! She is the best teacher and host you can wish for. Thanks so much Lucia!
- This cooking class was so unexpected in all of the best ways. From the moment we arrived to the meetup spot (this gorgeous cafe in Leece), to us getting to know each other as we walked around the local market, to the tour of the surrounding area (including this amazinggggg bakery that I can still smell when I think of it) and getting to know the genuine history and culture of Lucia's home... And that was only the START!!! All before we even arrived to her beautiful home for our cooking class! It was such a beautiful introduction and made us more excited for what was to come. Once we arrived to her home and began cooking she was so patient, kind, helpful, and NON judgemental - I felt 1000% comfortable and supported and honestly encouraged the entire time! I learned how to make two types of beautiful pasta (orecchiette and macaroni) but also the most amazingggggg tiramisu! I went into this class not knowing we were going to make tiramisu and honestly, was not excited when I found out because I'm not a fan of it at all but when I say.. we learned to make it the RIGHT way - I mean it. I left her home feeling confident in my new cooking abilities and loving a dessert I walked into the room hating. She set the table and we had a lovely local wine, some super yummy appetizers that were local to the area (my fav were these potato sticks - similar to hush puppy type of texture but not spicy soooo good!!) followed by the pasta we made ourselves and dessert! We spent the entire time laughing, bonding, talking - building a genuine connection! No kidding like our souls had all met before. It really felt like we (Lucia our host, Paolo our translator, my brother and myself) knew each other for years!! The most amazing moment of the entire experience that I will never forget is when they serenated us with a song of their culture, a freedom song of sorts, it was so beautiful that it genuinely brought my brother and I to tears. Not cute tears, but full on ugly crying. Having them open their doors to their culture and share something so intimate with us was amazing and we felt honored. It was something out of a movie. If you're looking for an experience that will move you from start to finish and to be hosted by someone who's heart shows through their actions and their cooking, I could not recommend Lucia's AMAZING cooking class enough. You will leave with your stomach and your heart full and memories that will last a lifetime.
- Lucia ha una carica empatica travolgente, capace di farti sentire subito parte del suo mondo. L’attenzione che presta ad insegnare ogni gesto con competenza e cura ad ogni piccolo dettaglio, rende il corso un’occasione preziosa per imparare non solo la manualità necessaria per realizzare l’impasto idoneo a preparare orecchiette, cavatelli, maccheroni etc., ma anche per apprendere la storia della tradizione pastaia del territorio e delle abitudini culturali che ogni ricetta tramanda. Il pomeriggio è volato per tutti noi grazie anche ai puntuali dettagli forniti su materie prime, metodi di lavorazione e impiego nelle ricette volte sempre a soddisfare il palato nel rispetto delle tradizioni. Il supporto di Paolo che con dovizia di particolari, integra le informazioni sulle risorse a tutto tondo del patrimonio enogastronomico salentino e non solo, è la chiusura del cerchio di un’esperienza gradita e sicuramente da ripetere. Grazie e congratulazioni per la vostra simpatia e il vostro garbo.
