Top Bari Classes & Workshops

You will be fascinated by anecdotes about how my grandmother made pasta and what cooking represented in the past and still represents. An immersion in the real Apulian life and in Italian sociology! I will let Elisa, my friend and super expert collaborator in Apulian pasta, communicate with gestures and by example; he speaks only Italian but will manage to communicate with his heart and experience as always. And, once at home, you will produce your own good food yourself, and you will be reminded of what she has shown you. Instead, I will communicate, if necessary also simultaneously, in English, Italian and French and you will probably laugh at my linguistic "flights" and my role as "slave in Elisa's kitchen" :-) The lunch that follows is collaborative, everyone helps and, dishes and pans in the hands. The wine, the foods that I serve together with the pasta that we prepare together and that are all local and largely the fruit of my organic garden, do the rest.
