No Measurements Required, Just Pure Italian Joy!
An absolutely unforgettable cooking class in Lecce! My friends and I had a fantastic time making focaccia and tiramisu guided by the most warm and cheerful sisters. Learning their intuitive, "no-measuring" approach to cooking was so liberating and fun. Add in an amazing, picturesque location, and you have a 5-star experience. Highly recommend!

Focaccia & Dessert Class. Balu' Bistrot Shop
We really enjoyed cooking with our host! Loved that it was just my husband & I. She was a great teacher; she shared techniques that she learned from her Nonna. The food was delicious that we ate after the class. Would love to have the recipes!! Would definitely recommend when in Lecce.

Great time!!!
Great experience!
We took the focaccia and tiramisu course and loved our experience. The rhythm was good and the explanations were clear! We learned by having a lot of fun! The tasting of our masterpieces afterwards, accompanied by good wine, was also highly appreciated!! Welcoming of the 2 cousins was very friendly and .... What more can I say: THANK YOU!!! 👌

Super fun cooking/baking experience
Very nice workshop. We were there with our two teenagers who also found it very successful. Everything was explained clearly and with enthusiasm, and while baking the focaccias we got delicious wine (children a soda of course) and tasty snacks. We will definitely try both recipes at home. Recommended!

A delicious and memorable experience
This was the highlight of our trip! The class was perfect for us, not too rushed or slow. Our chef expertly walked us through the recipes, making everything fun and understandable. At the end we enjoyed absolutely amazing focaccia and delectable tiramisu over a glass of wine. We highly recommend it, so much so that we're making it at home again this weekend!
