Bari Cooking Class : Traditional Focaccia & Orecchiette
Description
Get ready to live an authentic experience in the heart of Bari, in a secret place that holds the true spirit of Apulian cuisine. In the company of a local guide, you will put your hands in the dough to prepare two symbols of tradition: the focaccia from Bari, queen of street food, soft and crisp with juicy cherry tomatoes, which even beat the Genoese focaccia in a last-ditch challenge, and the handmade orecchiette, prepared according to the ancient Bari technique, celebrated by the New York Times as a heritage to be protected. After the lesson, we will sit at the table to enjoy together the fruit of our work, accompanied by a good local wine and stories that smell of tradition. An intimate, engaging and genuine experience, designed for those who want to discover the true soul of Bari through its cuisine.

We had a great experience in a small group learning how to make focaccia & pasta the authentic Bari way. Although the cook couldn't speak English her neice interpreted & between them they were a great team & made it fun. Food was yummy & we left with full, happy bellies!
We had a wonderful experience at the focaccia and pasta-making workshop, guided by Silvia and Marica. Both were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience had a lovely multicultural atmosphere. Silvia was especially warm and engaging. She made sure everyone was involved, kept the conversation going, and helped participants from different countries — Brazil, the Netherlands, and Romania — get to know each other and connect. Marica took great care to make sure that all the dishes turned out perfectly and was always there to help. The workshop was relaxed, fun, and very enjoyable. It was also a great experience for children, especially those making pasta and focaccia with their own hands for the first time. A lovely way to discover Italian food and culture while meeting people from around the world. Highly recommended! A big thank you for Silvia & Marica, hope to see you again :)!

An unforgettable cooking class with a great atmosphere! We had a fantastic time! Ana was super competent and incredibly friendly to everyone. Mariella was also excellent and absolutely top-notch professionally – she was able to explain perfectly and clearly how we can make traditional Italian focaccia and orecchiette ourselves. The entire group was also super pleasant, which made for an all-around great and relaxed atmosphere. An absolutely recommended experience! Many thanks to the great team!
