Lunch or dinner and cooking demo at a local home in Fasano

About this tour

Cook alongside a Puglian home chef in Fasano, watching them finish a signature dish before sitting down to a four-course meal together. This 2.5-hour experience through Cesarine—a network of private home cooks across Italy—puts you at the family table instead of in a restaurant. You'll taste recipes from their own kitchen repertoire, paired with local wines, and get a genuine feel for how people actually eat in this corner of Italy.

Highlights

• Watch the host complete a traditional dish in their kitchen
• Four courses: antipasto, pasta, mains with contorni, dessert
• Regional Puglian wines and coffee included
• Eat in a local home, not a commercial venue
• Small, intimate group with your host family
• Recipes sourced from genuine family cooking traditions

What to expect

You'll arrive at a private residence where your host—a seasoned home cook—gives you a front-row seat to finishing one of their signature dishes. The demo is short and practical, no theatrics. Then you move to the table for a proper four-course sit-down meal. Expect simple, well-made food: antipasti that showcase local produce, handmade or carefully sourced pasta, a meat or vegetable-based main, something sweet to close. Wine flows throughout. Conversation is the other main course. This is unhurried eating, the kind locals do at home.
