Live an authentic culinary experience in Venice. Enter the home of Mercedes in Venice and enjoy an amazing hands-on cooking followed by a convivial lunch or dinner with her. Eat the meal you've made, complete with wine. The home is in the Cannaregio quarter of Venice, along the Misericordia canal, an old-style neighborhood close to the Jewish ghetto. Walking around its backstreets and little alleys is a fascinating experience, off the beaten path.Mercedes adores cooking and hosting guests, together with the help of her husband, originally from the southern region of Puglia. Together, they’ve refined a menu of Venetian and Pugliese specialties, using products and raw materials from the two areas, such as fish and vegetables from the Rialto market, and olive oil from Puglia.
