Great food, great family and tons of cultural connections and enthusiasm. Highly recommend. - Highly recommend Juanita and her course. We made focaccia and orecchiette. Hospitality was wonderful.

Literally hands-on home cooking with experienced instructor - This was a perfect shore excursion opportunity for a cooking class. We started at 1000 and finished just before 1300. The class we in the center of town near the train station and the shopping district.
We made the Focaccia from scratch which we add with our lunch meal. The pasta (orecchiette in our case) was made from scratch and then got to practice technique for making them from the fresh dough.
The provided lunch was outstanding . Recipes and e-mailed photos were were provided. Was a highlight of our extended cruise.

Great authentic experience - We loved the entire experience. At the start Juanita provided some appetizers and coffee or wine if desired. Then we moved on to the pasta and focaccia making. It's a small class (max of 6) so everyone gets to take a turn with a step of the recipe and she makes sure everyone understands how to shape the pasta properly. Recipes are provided at the end.

A home run! - Fun experience with a lovely person. Making orrichete is tricky, but Juanita was very patient. She also treated us to some delicious appetizers and a small dinner afterwards of the pasta and the focaccia we had made.

Amazing hands on cooking class- a highlight of our Bari trip - We loved this cooking class with Juanita (she's a gem) and highly recommend it. We learned to make orecchiette and typical Bari focaccia from scratch. Then, we got to eat everything we made- and it was delicious. This is a hands on class (vs a demo) which I love because it's one thing to watch someone else do it, and another to learn by doing it yourself. The orecchiette especially require a bit of practice to get the technique right and Juanita was there to coach and show us how to do it properly. We had so much fun. Her place is very close to the historic center so not hard to get to. Earlier in the day we had done a walking tour with food tasting which was such a letdown and this cooking class experience resulted in our trip ending on a high note. I can't wait to make these recipes at home. This class is 100% worth it!

Make orecchiette and focaccia with Juanita! - We have been to several other cooking classes in different cities, and we all agreed that this was our favorite. It was held at Juanita's apartment-which was an easy 15 minute walk from Old Town Bari. Juanita had antipasti set up for us so we could get to know the other participants in the class, and then we started on the focaccia dough and pasta making. Juanita has the perfect personality for teaching the techniques to a bunch of beginners-patient, yet also freely joking with us that our pasta shapes needed some work! We were all excited if we received a "Bravo" from her! She then baked the focaccia and offered two types of sauce (traditional tomato and also a sweet pepper sauce) for our homemade pasta. We left with the recipe so we could try it at home. The experience lasted 3 hours and was a fun way to end our trip to Bari!

Loved this class! - Juanita is a kind and gracious host and a wonderful instructor! I learned more in this relatively brief session than I have in other much longer cooking classes. She’s very well-organized so not a moment is wasted. We were learning about types of wheat while sipping wine and enjoying amazing antipasti she had prepared. Then it was off to dough making for the pasta and focaccia. Finally, sitting down to enjoy what we had prepared. Treat yourself and take this class with Juanita.

An enjoyable dinner - Organized. We started on time. The class was 8 people. Juanita does most of the cooking in her kitchen, out of sight. You assist with making pasta and focaccia. Juanita teaches at a local culinary school and is very exacting. We might have learned more about both Bari and pasta making in a smaller group. As it was, we had a lovely dinner that we played a small part in making and enjoyed nice conversation with our fellow travelers.
