Cooking Puglia Workshop

May 4 – 7, 2024 (Sold Out)

This 4 day workshop is for those people who want to roll up their sleeves and have a hands-on learning experience, making all the traditional foods that Puglia is famous for.

Mornings will be spent in the our workshop kitchen mastering the art of orecchiette pasta making, taralli, cheese making, preserving sotto olio vegetables, wild herb liquors, jams and sweets. We will enjoy long table lunches featuring the fruits of our labours, paired with local wines.

We have chosen May to host this workshop because there are so many exciting things happening in the fields and at the markets. Wild asparagus and fennel fronds, the first artichokes, fava beans and peas, tender greens, and strawberries all are making the seasonal debut.

Unlike our other workshops, Cooking Puglia is best suited to those who have a passion for cooking and a bit of experience in the kitchen. Most of our time together will focus on choosing the very best ingredients we can find and then using traditional cooking techniques to turn those ingredients into delicious dishes for our long table meals. After our morning cooking sessions our afternoons will be spent visiting local farms, foraging for wild herbs used both for culinary dishes and medicinal purposes and visiting a friend’s olive grove to do an olive oil tasting and an aperitivo beneath the trees.

We hope that this will be an opportunity to learn new recipes and techniques that will inspire you to gather friends and family around the table wherever it is that you call home.
