Amazing authentic cooking experience - What an amazing and memorable cooking experience we had with Enza and her charming family - it was a highlight of our trip. We laughed and learned so much learning to make regional pastas and then enjoyed sharing a wonderful dinner together. Highly recommend

Highlight of our Puglia Trip - We surprised our friend with Enza's and Antonio's cooking class for her birthday and it was probably by far the highlight of our trip to Puglia! They were extremely welcoming and just the best hosts. Everything was also done with so much attention to detail and there is nothing that either of us would change. The aperetivo, pasta dishes and dessert were all absolutely wonderful and I would definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable night! PS: We had also a lot of luck with our group so that also of course contributed to the amazing experience!

Cooking with lots of love - We had the best night cooking with Ezna and Antonio. We were lucky enough to have some of their family join us for dinner in their family home. They provided such a wonderful experience and we recommend making this cooking class, a must do for your holiday. From the king of Macaroni

Warm and friendly pasta cooking in Puglia - A wonderful evening in the warm company of Enza and Antonio. Small group so we got to know each other while making pasta and enjoying the food in the sunset.

Fantastic, authentic cooking class with the best hosts - The whole experience was fantastic, from start to finish! Enza helped organise taxis from our hotel. Enza and Antonio were the perfect hosts, providing a generous and delicious apperitivo at the start. The cooking class was interesting with a beautiful view from it of the sunset and stunning garden. It was very rewarding to then eat what we made with delicious sauces. Overall a fantastic, authentic experience we would recommend to all!

Unforgettable Evening! - Fantastic!!! We had a wonderful experience with Enza, Antonio, and Christiana. The cooking class couldn't be better. It exceeded our expectations despite the super-positive reviews we read about the class. It was not only a cooking class, it was an amazing, warm, and unforgettable evening with good friends. We were so happy to meet you Enza, Antonio, and Christiana. If you are in Salento, this is not only a highly recommended, but MUST do experience!
