Alex Brasso - Gastronomia In Diso

16/01/2025: My mother was Italian and a fantastic cook. Her sauce was something in which she took great pride and many friends of mine would ask her for the recipe. In all my life I have never had a sauce (we called it gravy) that was something like my mother’s. I asked for bread just to dunk it in the sauce I made with Giorgio. My cooking class with him and his whole family was a once in a lifetime experience. I’ve been to cooking classes in Italy on previous trips but nothing compares with that the class at Alle Due Corti in Lecce. I’m a pretty good cook, but I learned some great techniques and new recipes. We spent four hours with Giorgio and got to share the fruits of our experience. This has definitely been the highlight of our trip to Puglia. Mille grazie Giorgio e Mariella.

15/01/2025: We spent a wonderful day preparing handmade pasta according to the most ancient Salento traditions in our Cooking Class in Lecce. After preparing in the kitchen we ate very well. The environment is truly family and fun. We hope to return soon.
