Over the years, Gianna understands that what she has is more than a passion, it is a vocation: the pleasure of sharing as well as handing down the precious secrets of Salentinian cooking is now a mission, a wish that occurs every day in every lesson, combined with the satisfaction of each participant living the unique experience of nature as well as the discovery of ancient tastes from Mediterranean cuisine.
Lezioni di Cucina Salentina is, actually, the promoter of precious aromas and flavors of both sea and country of Salento, like the simple and tasty Wheat or Barley Frise, which have to be seasoned with tomatoes, olive oil, arugula and oregano, or a kind of short tagliatelle pasta (partially fried and partially boiled) with chickpeas, a dish called Ciceri e Tria, a poor dish, but very popular, or orecchiette with fresh macaroni (the so called minchiareddhri).
Among our specialities a special place deserves the potatoes focaccia stuffed with vegetables (The Pitta) and the Taieddhra which represents the triumph of versatility and taste: it consists of zucchini, potatoes, artichokes, tomatoes, onions and black mussels.
The Pasticciotto leccese triumphs among desserts: it is a crumbly pastry filled with soft custard. Finally, do not forget two products of the ancient history of Salento: wine (lu mieru) and the precious liquid gold: the extra-virgin olive oil.
Here it is, a little taste of succulent overall experience you are going to live with Lezioni di Cucina Salentina. More
