Local Market Visit and Private Cooking Class at a Cesarina's Home in Brindisi

About this tour

Shop the stalls of Brindisi's working market with a local cook, then move to her home for a hands-on cooking lesson where you'll prepare three regional dishes from scratch. You'll cook at your own station, learning technique directly from someone who knows these recipes inside out, then sit down to eat what you've made with local wines. The whole experience takes four and a half hours and includes all ingredients, equipment and beverages.

Highlights

• Browse Brindisi's daily market with an insider cook
• Prep and cook three authentic Brindisi recipes yourself
• Work at your own kitchen station with full equipment
• Eat your cooked meal with curated local wines
• Learn techniques from a home cook in her own kitchen
• Includes water, coffee and red and white local wines

What to expect

You'll start in the market, moving between produce stalls and specialist shops with your host, who'll point out what's worth buying and why. Back at her home kitchen, you'll get your own workspace with knives, pots and everything needed to cook. She'll walk you through three dishes—expect to chop, stir and taste as you go. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a race. Once everything's done, you'll sit together to eat what you've made, with local reds and whites poured throughout. Bring an appetite and comfortable shoes for the market portion.
