Learn about its original urban pattern – mostly unchanged through the centuries – and by the merge of man-made rock dwellings and natural caves. It is the ‘layering’ of the Sassi houses that has created the extraordinary images for which Matera has become famous. These cave dwellings were lived until the 1950’s; today these “unhealthy” homes have become Luxury hotels and restaurants.
Afterwards head to the local farmers' market in the city center to shop together for local products and ingredients.
Then, make your way to the local supplier's kitchen and cook traditional dishes in a relaxed, familiar environment and peek into real life and family routine.
During the session you will make 4 tasty recipes – which depend on the day and season (homemade pasta – ravioli, tagliatelle, cavatelli – fresh tomato sauces, eggplant parmigiana, tiramisu, cantucci, etc.), all with fresh organic ingredients.
Once everything is cooked, you’ll sit around the kitchen table and enjoy your meal paired with a good wine. According to the most typical Italian tradition, an espresso will conclude this adventure.
At the end of the day you’ll receive your Italian cooking Diploma and a gift to remember this special experience. As part of our club, you’ll keep receiving our newsletter and updates on recipes, menus, tips and secrets of the Italian cuisine, and may count on our support if you need help in recreating our recipes.
