Puglia: 14 July – 27 July 

A whimsical land on the southeast coast, known as the “heel of the boot” and famous for its fairytale-like conical white houses (trulli), Puglia should be equally recognizable for its rich culinary tradition. Rooted in the region’s agricultural past and its position as a crossroads of cultures—Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, and Swabian—Puglia’s “cucina povera” cuisine developed around fresh local ingredients and simple cooking methods. Take a tour of land and sea as you enjoy these traditional Puglian dishes.
