-What you can expect-
Step into the heart of Salento at a charming 18th-century Masseria in Martano, just a short drive from Lecce. This hands-on cooking—it’s a journey through family traditions, local flavours, and southern Italian hospitality.

Begin your culinary experience by preparing meatballs in rich tomato sauce using freshly made Passata and Nonna Concettina’s beloved family recipe. The aromas and techniques will transport you straight into a traditional Salento kitchen.

Under Nonna Concettina’s guidance, you’ll learn to make three—Orecchiette, Maccheroni, and Sagne 'ncannulate—using just water and flour. Discover the stories and traditions behind each shape as you work the dough with your hands.

As the dishes come together, enjoy a glass of local wine and immerse yourself in tales of Salento life—its food, people, and rhythms. The warm, communal atmosphere makes every moment memorable.

Gather around the table to enjoy the meal you helped prepare. Expect simple, generous flavours and the joy of good company in a truly authentic setting.

Surrounded by two hectares of countryside, the Masseria offers a peaceful backdrop to your cooking adventure. Once a working farm, it now opens its doors to travellers seeking genuine cultural experiences in the heart of southern Italy.
