The Awaiting Table

The School
The Awaiting Table Cookery School in Lecce, Italy, is a small, intimate Italian cooking school in the most beautiful town in the entire sunny south of Italy. Our cooking classes in Italy offer hands-on cookery lessons designed to both improve your cooking AND allow you to go deeper into the culture than you ever thought possible. Here, you'll get to know the locals by their first names, talk first-hand at the market with butchers, winemakers, fishmongers and proud farmers, so local that they still have soil under their fingernails Go ahead, ask Luigi where his produce is from and he'll lean out the market door and point. Ask when he picked it and he'll beam and rattle that morning's dew onto the market floor.

We have numerous programs designed to fit every budget and every schedule. We offer full week, day, special and custom classes. The full week classes are offered on according to a pre-set schedule. The Weekend, Day, and Custom classes are available upon request during any time not already scheduled. If interested, simply Contact Us and let us know what you would like to do. Occasionally, we will add Special Classes to our normal calendar. These classes are usually set around special guests or special events and are usually announced in our newsletters.
