Cook Like a Local in the Heart of Bari: Focaccia & Orecchiette cooking class.
Immerse yourself in the authentic flavours of Puglia with a hands-on cooking experience in the historic centre of Bari. Far from the crowds, in a cosy and intimate setting, you'll be guided by a passionate Local Handwork Professional ready to share the secrets of traditional Barese cuisine.
During this interactive cooking class, you’ll learn how to make two iconic dishes: the beloved Focaccia Barese, soft on the inside, golden and crispy on the outside, topped with fresh smashed cherry tomatoes, oregano, and local extra virgin olive oil and the famous Orecchiette, handmade pasta shaped using ancestral techniques passed down through generations. You'll master the traditional motion to shape each piece, just like the local nonnas do in the old town’s alleys.
At the end of the class, you'll sit down to enjoy your Handcrafted Dishes, paired with a glass of excellent Local Wine. It’s the perfect time to relax, share stories, and enjoy the warm, welcoming atmosphere that defines southern Italian hospitality.
This experience is ideal for anyone wanting to discover the real Bari through its food. It’s not just a demonstration, it’s a hands-on workshop where you become part of the culinary tradition. No previous cooking experience is required; the activity is suitable for beginners and food lovers alike.
