Our Day Course

il corso giornaliero

Come fall in love, even if only for a day!

Welcome to The Awaiting Table…

…Puglia’s oldest and most respected cooking school and wine programme.

To date, students from 54 different countries have visited us to study our local food and wine. Some come thinking that they are after recipes. Others for a new favourite wine.

What you will actually learn here is much more fun and infinitely more useful. And far more compelling.

What you’ll Learn

In theory we could demystify Italian wine, the labelling practices and regional/genetic relationships in less than an hour. It usually takes much longer because we drain so many bottles in the process.

What you’ll Learn

Good food puts you in contact with the soil. Great food, with the local soil. Italy is rarely about the recipe, and almost never the technique. It’s more of an approach: how do you make things taste more of themselves?

What you’ll Learn

Northern pasta and Southern pasta are so different that their only common ingredient is the salt in the cooking water. The tools needed are different too. And one pasta is healthy, one isn’t. It’s really a stretch to think of them as the same food. (Ours is the healthy one, and not just because of the lower glycemic index).
