Lecce’s Simposio: a travel cookbook dedicated to the Florence of the South

Lecce’s Simposio: a Puglia travel cookbook for respectful, acculturated, curious travelers and Italophiles.

With this culinary travel guide, I want you to discover Lecce’s specialties, the places to see, the folklore behind what you see, and why Puglia is such a cherished destination. All in a unique, mindful way, fully experiencing the deep bond each Italian city has with its food, traditions, and history.

It’s a read before visiting the city, a couch traveling experience, or a souvenir to take back home.

Lecce (Puglia, Italy) is called the Florence of the South, so rich in art, palaces, and stunning embellishments it is.

Put it all together, and you get a unique cookbook that is beautiful to browse, delightful to read, and great for enriching your culinary adventures.
