Begin your day with your hands deep in tradition—rolling meatballs, simmering sauce. Prepare meatballs in rich tomato sauce using freshly made passata and Nonna Concettina’s treasured family recipe.

With patient guidance from Nonna Concettina, knead and shape three classic pasta types: orecchiette, maccheroni, and sagne 'ncannulate. Learn by doing, as every step reveals a storey passed down through generations.

As you cook, share stories of life in Salento—its ingredients, its seasons, its people. Ask questions, get curious, and sip a glass of local wine as you absorb the warm atmosphere of a real southern Italian kitchen.

Once everything is ready, sit down together to enjoy the meal you helped prepare. Around the table, laughter and conversation flow, and you’ll taste what truly defines Salento cuisine: generosity, simplicity, and heart.
