Mary Dubinin, MS, RDN “Thank you so much for your time and talent in making this a memorable trip!” Puglia 2019 Culinary Tour

"Puglia is a great destination to study the Mediterranean lifestyle. I greatly appreciated all of the culinary and cultural activities and gained immense knowledge from each activity.

There were so many enjoyable aspects of the trip! The cooking classes, dairy farm, grain mill, wineries and olive farms. Being from that region, our guides were able to provide additional commentary.

I now have a greater understanding of durum wheat and semolina flour, and their properties for making pasta and focaccia bread. Taste testing extra virgin olive oil and understanding the characteristics from a renowned expert in the field was a unique experience.

I cooked and ate cuttlefish for the first time!

The trip was an amazing experience that helped me better understand the land, culture, food and people of this region of southern Italy! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your time and talent in making this a memorable trip!"
