Must do cooking class! - This was a very wonderful and special day hosted by Pierangela and her husband! We learned a lot about the local market and cousins. We had many appetizers, homemade the local pasta and lamb meatball, and dessert. It was all delicious and wonderful to learn more about the culture in the area! This is a must if visiting the area!

Cook Italiano - Absolutely incredible! Fabulous house with a beautiful garden… Our hosts were Carlo and Guisey and they were absolutely spectacular! Learned how to make gnocchi, as well as fresh pasta, the Italian way… They also ran a cute BMV and do cooking on the side. Such a great experience can’t say enough about it. Best part of our trip to Lecce!

Pugliese Home Cooking Class - Cesarina was fantastic. Took us to both a cheese shop where we tasted a variety of mozzarellas, then a fruit and vegetable shop where she introduced us to Pugliese produce. Afterwards we went back to her beautiful home and we made pasta, tomato sauce, a zucchini focaccia and a tort. We ended the night with a very delicious homemade Pugliese meal. Wonderful experience. Cesarina is incredibly generous and fun. A highlight of our trip.
