Join us at the Masseria in Martano, just a short drive from the city, for a cooking class near Lecce that goes beyond recipes—it’s an experience rooted in family, memory, and tradition. Making homemade pasta with only water and flour becomes a heartfelt connection to the culinary soul of Salento.

 

Scents of Sauce and Stories from Home

 

The day begins with your hands deep in tradition—rolling meatballs, simmering sauce. Together, we’ll prepare meatballs in rich tomato sauce using freshly made passata and Nonna Concettina’s treasured family recipe. It’s the perfect start to your cooking class near Lecce.

 

Hands in the Dough, Heart in Salento

 

With patient guidance from Nonna Concettina, you’ll knead and shape three classic pasta types: orecchiette, maccheroni, and sagne 'ncannulate. This cooking class near Lecce invites you to learn by doing, as every step reveals a story passed down through generations.

 

Flavors, Stories, and a Glass of Wine

 

As we cook, we’ll share stories of life in Salento—its ingredients, its seasons, its people. Ask questions, get curious, and sip a glass of local wine as you absorb the warm atmosphere of a real southern Italian kitchen during your cooking class near Lecce.

 

The Joy of Coming Together

 

Once everything is ready, we’ll sit down together to enjoy the meal you helped prepare. Around the table, laughter and conversation flow, and you’ll taste what truly defines Salento cuisine: generosity, simplicity, and heart.
