A Taste of Puglia

Join me for a culinary journey to Puglia, where we’ll prepare some of the region’s most beloved traditional dishes. We’ll start with fave e cicorie, the classic combination of creamy fava bean purée and bitter greens. Then you’ll learn to shape orecchiette, Puglia’s signature pasta, which we’ll serve with a rich tomato sauce flavored by braciole. We’ll also make pitta Salentina, a savory specialty from the Salento area, and finish with the iconic Leccese dessert, pasticciotto, filled with silky pastry cream.
