Step into the heart of Brindisi’s historic centre, just a 10-minute walk from the cruise ship port, and experience the true essence of Puglian home cooking in a family-owned historic residence. You will be welcomed by a friendly and lively local family, where traditions have been lovingly passed down through generations.

Your cooking class will be led by the charming and talented daughter of the family, an expert cook who speaks fluent English. She will guide you step by step through the art of making fresh pasta, with a special focus on the famous orecchiette with tomato sauce, the queen of Southern Italian dishes. She will be joined by her mother or aunt, adding an even more authentic touch to the experience.

Together, you will also prepare a traditional starter, a main course, and a homemade dessert, all made with fresh, organic ingredients grown on the family’s farm. At the end of the lesson, you’ll sit down with your hosts for a delightful meal, enjoying the dishes you’ve prepared along with local wine and heartwarming family stories.

For those who want to take a taste of Puglia home, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase fresh, organic, locally grown produce at the family’s shop, harvested directly from their countryside farm.

This is a one-of-a-kind experience for those looking to discover the true hospitality and flavours of Puglia, in the heart of Brindisi’s old town!

Perfect for cruise passengers and travellers who want to experience Puglia’s rich culinary traditions with a warm and welcoming local family, in the heart of Brindisi’s historic centre!
