Bonjour de la part de Francesca !
« Pour moi, être aux fourneaux est un véritable plaisir, que je partage souvent avec nos amis. J'aime préparer des plats authentiques qui nous ramènent souvent dans les cuisines de nos grands-mères, remplies de parents, surtout pendant les fêtes. Notre région regorge de produits simples, mais exceptionnels, que j'aime servir de la manière la plus simple possible, afin de les mettre en valeur. »

- Incredible evening that FLEW BY! We left with our bellies full and hearts so happy from our experience with Francesca. Such an authentic experience with a lovely person, we both felt so welcome in her home and had such a great time making our pasta. Francesca was a true professional and we can’t recommend this experience enough - both of us agree this was the best tiramisu of our entire trip.
- What a lovely experience with Francesca and her family! We learned how to make oricchiette, with which we made brochette con come di rapa, a traditional Lecce dish. Our morning began with a sampling of Francesca’s amazing focaccia and coffee, and our day was topped off with an amazing fig tart. We spent much time talking about Leccese traditions, with family being the center of what’s important. Francesca is an amazing hostess, we definitely felt like friends in her home. Her teaching skills showed great patience with some clumsy attempts at making the pasta, which finally became acceptable, if very slow in comparison to Francesca’s deft ability! We highly recommend her classes, and look forward to another when we return to Lecce.
- Thank you Francesca for teaching me how to make my favorite childhood pastry, pasticciotto Lecce! The class was one of the highlights of my trip. I can't wait to make them at home!
- What a fun and educational experience we had making Pasticciotto Leccese with Francesca! She is such a nice person and we learned how to make these favorite pastries of Lecce. Thank you very much for sharing your cooking talents.
- Our evening with Francesca & her daughter was great! We learned about the local ingredients and method for making orecchiette and macaroni pasta. Francesca was the perfect hands-on teacher for the evening. We also made tiramisu, which was fantastic. If you want good conversation, make your dinner & delicious dessert, sign up for this class. Ciao’ ciao’
