An amazing experience! We had a blast making authentic orecchiette pasta with Maria, she was a hoot! Full dinner and drinks included. Grazie Mille!!
Had a very good time to the cooking class with Daniele. Happy to learn how to make orecchiette. It qas a small and intimate class (6ppl), instructions were clear, it was relax and fun. 100% would recommend
Cooking class with Ana Maria was really especial. She walked us through every step with a lot of important information and also fun facts about Italian cuisine, thanks for everything!
I went here not sure of what to expect, but it was an outstanding night and exceptional cooking class. We learn how to make pasta with care from start to finish, from the ingredients, to the rolling process, cutting and shaping. We learnt about making other authentic Italian recipes like focaccia (the traditional recipe may surprise you). Anna Maria was our chef and host, she had a great knowledge of the Italian food in all regions including Puglia. Among us, people from many different countries and cultures. By the end of the night it felt like a dinner party with long standing friends. It was a great experience I would highly recommend.
Such a fun and authentic experience! Learning to make Orecchiette by hand was easier than I expected, thanks to the kind and patient Annamaria and Daniele. The food was delicious, and the whole class felt like cooking with friends. Definitely recommend if you want a true taste of Puglia!
