Description

Description

Food offers one of the best ways to understand Puglia, and in Altamura, culinary traditions remain closely connected to local producers and time-honored know-how. Your experience begins with a walk through the historic center, visiting local markets and shops where you will discover regional ingredients and learn more about how they are produced.

With your ingredients selected, it is time to head to the kitchen and start cooking. During a hands-on class, children and adults will prepare local recipes together, discovering the techniques and flavors that characterize Puglian cuisine.

Once the cooking is complete, take your place around the long table and enjoy the lunch you have prepared together.

Note: If you are looking for a shorter experience, a 4-hour version is also available, focusing on the cooking class and lunch without the market and producer visits.

Meeting point: Piazza Matteotti, Altamura.
Ending point: Piazza Matteotti, Altamura.
