If you're a keen cook travelling with us to Puglia, why not organise a little culinary experience with our resident expert, Anna Maria Chirone Arnò.
Anna Maria is the author of one of the best Puglian recipe books, Il Gusto del Tacco d'Italia (also available in English) and has worked for many years as a personal chef, cookery teacher and food writer.
Based in Lecce, Anna Maria knows all the secrets of her region's food and a few hours spent with her is a real eye-opener into what makes the locals tick gastronomically.
Flexibility is also the name of the game and you can request something specific, whether it be making orecchiette (Puglia's signature pasta) from scratch, or learning how to make perfect pastries... always tasting as you go!

Terms and conditions
Think Experiences are provided by independent local companies which are neither owned not controlled by The Thinking Traveller and for whom we act only as an agent. Whilst every effort is made to keep the description of every Think Experience up to date, the provider may cancel or amend your experience at their discretion for many reasons including where it considers that there may be a risk to your comfort, health or safety. Some excursions/activities (i.e. helicopter rides, excursions on Mount Etna, boat charter, etc.) may contain an element of risk or require a good level of physical fitness, and, if in doubt, you should contact us so we can put you in contact directly with the local provider before deciding to buy. Please also check that you are covered for the activity(ies) in question by your travel insurance policy.
In acting in the capacity of an agent on behalf of the provider, your contract will be with that provider and will be subject to their standard terms and conditions, and it will not form part of your contracted holiday arrangements with us. Any complaint (including any allegation of breach of contract or negligence) should be taken up with the excursion/activity provider directly. We will do our best to assist you, but will have no liability in relation to the performance of that contract.
