Overview

For me, hosting and home is a whole other thing from a simple restaurant that can be as hospitable as you want but will never be able to welcome you with the serene and informal conviviality of "my home". Here I relive the experiences lived in my grandparents' house before and my parents later. Perfumes from boiling pots, the same but always different voices and gestures of my mother and my aunt who repeat rituals that have unknowingly marked me. Over time I have accumulated a treasure trove of sensations and knowledge that intertwine between the countryside and the kitchen and from which I am indelibly marked. Today I find myself chasing cookbooks and recipes to reproduce in an attempt to relive that experience and I ask for your help in order to succeed. We will prepare various dishes of the Matera tradition together, depending on the period in which we meet, and then we will taste them in the convivial and "Slow" atmosphere that has always distinguished me.

    What To Expect

    You will have the opportunity to discover the traditional dishes of Matera: the Cicirata in hen broth, the married soup, the carnival calzones with pork ragout, the baked cazzomarro, the rich in oil, the Easter cardoncelli flan and many others. each of which has its right seasonal location. In addition to these, I also like to rediscover the spontaneous products of the earth: cimamarelle, field chard, chicory, sivoni, cardoncelli to be transformed into baked pies with Pezzente salami, meatballs or podolic caciocavallo. We will prepare dinner together trying to combine knowledge with leisure.
