Jul 15, 6:30pm

Avellino502 Main StSturbridge, MA01566 Map

Some of the best traditional foods in Italy come from Puglia, the region in the heel of Italy’s “boot” but travel to Puglia’s peninsula Salentina for gorgeous beaches, lush farmland, ornate churches, and ancient ruins. Puglia and Bari, it's capital, both have lots of fantastic ingredients to choose from—like chickpeas, homegrown herbs and spices, olive and olive oil, tomatoes, and, of course, fresh seafood.

In this Cooking with Rico series, Chef Rico will demonstrate the deeply-rooted cucina povera tradition where cuisine tends to be simple and delicious, always relying on fresh ingredients. As always, each course is accompanied by a specially chosen wine pairing. This event is $57 per person with wine pairings, or $47 without* Tax and gratuity are not included.
