Kookles Ostuni

Because it was just the two of us, the whole experience felt personal rather than like a tourist activity. She walked us through each dish step by step, sharing little tips and stories along the way, and it never felt rushed. It was the two of us cooking alongside her in her kitchen, and honestly it felt less like a class and more like spending the afternoon with our own Italian nonna. The sweetest surprise: it was my partner’s birthday, and our host had made a handmade cake and brought out prosecco to celebrate — completely unprompted generosity that turned a great cooking class into one of the most memorable moments of our trip. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and it meant so much to us. The food itself was fantastic — fresh, authentic Puglian dishes made from scratch — but honestly the real highlight was her warmth and hospitality. We left full, happy, and genuinely touched. If you want an authentic, heartfelt experience in Ostuni rather than a generic tourist activity, book this. We can’t recommend it enough.

I booked this cooking class based on 5-star reviews, and the experience lived up to its rating! Lulu and her boyfriend were warm, welcoming, and engaging hosts for our dinner-making experience. We are a family of 5, and our kids (13, 15, and 18) were equally engaged and enjoyed every moment! I highly recommend this class to anyone traveling with or without kids.

Lulu, our Chef, was simply amazing! Very welcoming, warm, friendly. We felt like we knew her for a very long time and she made her home feeling like ours. Not only we learned how to make pasta from scratch, make focaccia and other dishes, but we met a new friend that we’ll definitely keep in touch long after leaving beautiful Puglia. I

This is such a lovely experience. Lulu doesn’t provide a cooking class. She provides a cooking experience and memories. It’s informal and relaxing and truly authentic. I brought my father who has zero cooking ability and he left with the confidence to attempt multiple dishes by himself. I would really recommend for groups looking a social experience around cooking. Great day out

This is an exceptional experience! Being invited into Chef Lulu’s home for the cooking class made it even more delightful and memorable. Chef Lulu taught us how to make an entire dinner using local ingredients. I learned a lot and had a great time throughout. It’s a very special thing to do.

Particularly nice guest wife & gentleman. Beautiful location and great food! Absolutely recommended!

Perfect day cooking in Ostuni! Chef Lulu and her sous chef Gianni, are truly the best. Their home is beautiful, they are kind and fun, and made us feel like family. The food itself was better than we could have imagined and we can’t wait to recreate the meal at home. Would highly recommend!

I did not expect that our cooking class with Lu Lu in Ostuni would be the favorite part of our 3 week trip in Croatia and Italy, but it was. After all, after days of visiting several old cities and ancient buildings we were exhausted and they all had the same general vibe, tons of exhausting walks and beautiful streets mixed with souvenir shops it all felt redundant. But the long evening of cooking and eating with Lu Lu was an amazing de- stressing experience. She met us with smiles as we ascended to her lovely rooftop workplace. We laughed, we made fresh pasta, her Nona's eggplant parm recipe, braciola, and a tasty fruity tart desert. And then we eat the delicious food we had prepared. Lu Lu was easy going, fun and full of smiles, which made the experience so much of a great

🫶 Nice to meet you 😅 We were allowed to experience a wonderfully warm and ❤️family-oriented evening. With a lot of charm, humor, and genuine Italian passion, we were all actively involved in the cooking fun 🍝👨‍🍳🇮🇹 The result was an incredibly delicious, lovingly prepared, and wonderfully extensive multi-course menu 🤌🏻✨ We learned a lot and look forward to recreating the dishes. An evening full of enjoyment, good spirits, and a lot of 'La Dolce Vita' ❤️

Excellent experience cooking with Lulu in her beautiful home. A great way to spend an afternoon learning how to make pasta from scratch
