Apulian cooking masterclass with a chef in Martina Franca
Four hours at a masseria, each at your own station: bread, orecchiette, bread meatballs and biscotto di Ceglie, with four wines.
What you do
This is hands-on from start to finish, not a demo you watch from the side. You are at a masseria in Martina Franca, with your own individual workstation.
Over four hours you make four Apulian classics: bread, orecchiette, polpette di pane, which are meatballs made with bread, and biscotto di Ceglie. Four wines are poured for tasting while you knead and shape, and at the end you sit down to taste all four dishes.
The masterclass is private only, so it is just your group, from two people up. It is taught in English and designed for adults, aged 16 and over. We agree the time together.
By bike
Martina Franca is in the Itria Valley, a long way from my bases in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera. It is not somewhere to ride to from the city.
It works in two ways. As a stop on a multi-day bike trip through Puglia, on a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook that I put together for you; if you are staying nearby, I can deliver the bike to your accommodation for a surcharge based on distance. Or, with four hours of cooking and four wines, on a day off the bike.
