Spigadolce

Courses

I offer hands-on courses and workshops on handmade Pugliese pasta — orecchiette, cavatelli, strascinati, troccoli and other traditional forms — in private homes, at community events, and in cultural settings across London. Places are limited. Spigadolce is not just a cooking class; it is an act of love for a tradition I do not want to see disappear.

A Taste of Puglia

Saturday 13 June 2026 · 12:00 – 21:00 The Upper Place, 1st floor, Nag's Head Market — 22 Seven Sisters Road, London N7 6AG

A day entirely dedicated to the flavours of Puglia. I gave live orecchiette-making demonstrations throughout the afternoon, and visitors tried their hand at shaping the little ears of durum wheat that generations of Apulian women have made on wooden boards since time immemorial.
