Loved this experience! - Lovely experience w Katia and her family! I felt like a guest in her home. She met me with her lovely son Angelo in lecce’s historic center, took me to some local markets there to sample some local Leccese treats, and then she drove us to her amazing town (15ish min away?) where we first stopped by the sea, then to her local fishmonger, where we picked up some mussels. We then went to her amazing house and got to know each other over aperitivos and Prosecco. Between her broken English, my broken Italian, her son’s very good English, and google translate, we had a very fun conversation 😄 Her husband shucked the mussels, which we ate raw (the most delicious I have ever had!) and then she showed me how to make pasta. I learned so much, including some very helpful tips that only someone who has been making pasta for years can share with you. She made the sauce from tomatoes, onion, and basil, from a garden steps away from her kitchen and enjoyed the delicious meal together. She then drove me back to the train station. I just wish I had more time with Katia and her family! It was a great experience.

Bellies and hearts full! - The local Italian couple were so warm and welcoming, teaching and demonstrating us how to make gnocchi, tagliatelle and tiramisu. We enjoyed all of this along with wine and appetisers in their beautiful Italian home and B&B. We were lucky enough to be a small group with just ourselves. Would recommend to anyone wanting a traditional experience and delicious food, we rolled out of there!

Great experience, highly recommended - We shared an afternoon with Francesca and her two girls, Camilla and Vittoria. We had an amazing afternoon tasting the local foods of Lecce and Puglia and learning how to make the most amazing tiramisu and pasta. They feel like part of the family and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Would highly recommend this tour and class. Thanks again ladies!
