This Puglia cooking class takes place in Taranto and lasts about four and a half hours. It is held in a traditional Apulian trulli building surrounded by countryside. The class begins with instruction on making orecchiette pasta using flour and a pastry board, following techniques passed down through generations. Participants also learn about the seasonal produce from an organic garden, including wild herbs, fruits, tomatoes, and melons, which contribute to the meal. After preparing the pasta, the group helps make a meat sauce along with vegetables and cheese to complete the lunch. The meal is served with local red wines such as Negramaro, Salice, or Primitivo, as well as bottled water, tea, and coffee. The class reflects the slow cooking traditions once practiced daily by Apulian grandmothers. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The dress code is smart casual. Vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian options are available upon request if advised at the time of booking.
