About this tour
Learn to prepare quintessential dishes from Apulia's culinary tradition in Ostuni's whitewashed old town. This five-hour class walks you through creating regional specialities using seasonal produce sourced locally, then you sit down to eat what you've made. It's a straightforward introduction to how home cooks in this part of southern Italy actually cook, minus the tourist polish.
Highlights
- Prepare hand-rolled pasta shapes specific to Apulia
- Work with vegetables and cheeses from regional suppliers
- Cook in a traditional kitchen within Ostuni's historic centre
- Eat the dishes you've made alongside wine
- Learn why certain ingredients define this region's food
What to expect
You'll arrive at the cooking space in central Ostuni and spend the morning or afternoon prepping and cooking. The instructor—likely someone with family roots in local cooking—will show you how to make pasta by hand and prepare a proper meal using techniques that don't rely on modern shortcuts. Expect to use your hands, learn by watching and doing, and get comfortable with the rhythm of a real kitchen. After cooking finishes, you'll sit together to eat what you've prepared, often with local wine included.
Good to know
Public transport connections serve the area well, so you won't need a private driver. If you're bringing infants, they'll need to sit with an adult—there are no separate seating arrangements. Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour or sauce on.
