Le bombette di Martina Franca dalla macelleria-fornello, un'esperienza.
La focaccia barese con i pomodorini, la colazione perfetta.
Il pasticciotto leccese caldo la mattina, la Puglia è un paradiso.
Gli spaghetti all'assassina bruciacchiati, che spettacolo 🔥
Le orecchiette con le cime di rapa fatte dalle signore di Bari Vecchia, le migliori.
