Puglia Cooking class Le orecchiette che pasta

Puglia Cooking class Le orecchiette che pasta

An experience to live our traditions and knowing the origins of our cuisine in the typical Apulia buildings: i trulli surrounded by a peaceful nature.

The art of making the orecchiette (our traditional pasta) is part of a ritual made also of soil and wind, a time in the countryside, slowly spent for preparing our lunch collecting wild herbs, fruits, tomatoes, melons and all that our organic garden seasonaly produce.The same slow time lived by our grandmothers to prepare the daily lunch for all the family.

At home, a pastry board, the flour and the wind will be the simple ingredients to make our Orecchiette. We will learn to do this particular pasta, its variations and many other secrets will be revealed. We will then partecipate to prepare meat sauce, vegetables and cheese and all necessary for lunch. We will taste all our preparations.

The cooking class begins normally at 10.30 in our Trulli as meeting point.

We will teach you how to produce the orecchiette (our typical pasta) and to cook a typical menù (that seasonaly changes). We propose at the end a little tour to know our traditions and finally a lunch based on meat (as tradition).
It is available a vegetarian solution.
We provide for all necessary to do the class.

• Lunch is composed by a aperitif, first course based on the self-made orecchiette with meat- or vegetables sauce (on request), second course of meat, seasonal fruit and Italian coffee.
