“To say it was the trip of a lifetime would be an understatement.” Puglia 2023

I participated in Layne Lieberman's Puglia Culinary & Cultural Tour in October 2023, and to say it was the trip of a lifetime would be an understatement. From our initial landing in Bari, where our group explored the city and enjoyed lunch at a beautiful seaside restaurant, to our concluding day in Gallipoli, making Orecchiette pasta and other regional dishes by hand, the trip was packed with enriching experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to dietitians, health professionals, or food enthusiasts who enjoy delving into the cultural and culinary tapestry of a region. Layne's expertise and unwavering passion for the Mediterranean diet, as well as her dedication to showcasing the talents of Puglia's farmers and artisanal food producers, were evident at every turn, making the entire experience unique and exceptional.
