If you have been reading my blog for some time, you will know that while there are some ubiquitous dishes in Italian cuisine, food in Italy is actually very regional and in fact not only each region, but each city and even each village have their own special dishes – or their own specific (and usually secret) recipe to prepare a famous dish. The same definitely goes for Puglia too.

Puglia food is all about being slow (don’t know what slow food is? Check this out!). Dishes here are prepared with locally sourced seasonal ingredients; olive oil and vegetables are abundantly used – so food in Puglia is actually quite healthy.
