Dopo il benvenuto accompagnato da un cocktail molto fresco, rigorosamente green a base di lime, menta, zenzero e kiwy si apre la Cooking Class. Le sapienti mani di mamma Marisa, custodi delle tecniche di lavorazione della cucina tipica Pugliese, mostreranno con amore come, utilizzando un pugno di farina ed un pò d' acqua, si riescano a realizzare le famose orecchiette Pugliesi. Sarà poi la volta della goliardica e sempre verde Mamma Palma, cuore pulsante del’intera Cooking Class. Sarà lei ad insegnare le tecniche di preparazione dell’impasto della focaccia mediterranea e come con qualche litro di latte fresco munto in giornata ed un cucchiaino di caglio si possa dar vita ad un fresco e gustoso formaggio. Dopo tanto lavoro e milioni di sorrisi, le focacce saranno cotte nel forno a legna e le orecchiette saranno cucinate come tradizione prevede. Ora finalmente tutti a tavola, per la cena finale durante la quale verranno servite le diverse pietanze preparate durante lo show cooking alle quali si aggiungeranno una serie di piatti tipici della nostra amata Puglia. Ogni fase di lavorazione sarà tradotte in inglese. Si prega di segnalare eventuali intolleranze. Lo staff vi contatterà 24H prima a 1/2 WhatsApp.
