Pezze di Greco (Ostuni): Cook & Enjoy natural Apulian dishes｜Italy

Madia will welcome you into her restaurant, whose atmosphere is so cosy, warm and unique that you will feel like you are entering a private home. Indeed, the interior is furnished with simple antique furniture that Madia took from her grandparents’ house. This is also the same restaurant where her career as a chef began almost 20 years ago when she started working in the kitchen.

At the beginning of the cooking class, Madia will tell you her fascinating story, which has led her to become an innovative chef of natural cuisine, namely one based on the products of the earth and respectful of the environment and animals.

Getting to the heart of the cooking experience, Madia will show you the ingredients that you will be using – most of which come from her own garden or, anyway, all locally sourced – and explain the recipes for the dishes that you will be preparing together. She will then guide you through the preparation of focaccia, taralli and orecchiette, all traditional Apulian dishes that are, by definition, vegan. Remember to inform us about any allergies, intolerances or other special requests!

At the end of the experience, you will enjoy a meal based on the dishes you have all made together during the vegan cooking class, accompanied by a glass of wine. During the meal you will have time to chat with Madia and ask all the questions you want to learn more about her story as a natural chef.
