The Cooking School is run by the two sisters Cinzia & Marika Rascazzo, native to Puglia and who speak fluent English. They believe that “cuisine” means “health” and focus on a very simple cuisine, using the highest quality ingredients.
The real Italian cuisine is what Italians eat at home. During these classes you have a unique opportunity to learn about the authentic Italian cuisine, culture, history and traditions through the local people.

Explore-Puglia’s inclusive Puglia cooking programme and culinary tour offers a unique opportunity to experience Italy through its cuisine, in an authentic Italian home setting, where time at the table is sacred and food is celebrated. We cater for small groups or individuals and offer excellent, value for money weekend or full week cooking programmes suitable for all ages and abilities.
