The Song of the Siren. Orpheus saves the Argonauts from the deadly song of the Sirens. By playing his lyre so beautifully, his music drowns out their voices, allowing the ship to sail safely past their island. Terracotta statues, 4th century BC. MARTA Museo, Taranto | Puglia

Great restaurant recommendations, so much information and a great site. If you are visiting Puglia, then be sure to catch up with the Puglia Guys!

Last night’s dinner in Taranto (Puglia) was one of my favourite eating experiences for some time. The food was superb, and whilst seemingly chaotic, the waiters were extremely professional (in a non-fussy) way. The atmosphere was so much fun, seemingly surrounded by southern Italian chaos and drama

Dinner in Taranto (Puglia) at one of those restaurants you can only find in the south of Italy. It seems like chaos but it’s actually well oiled and hard working. A 12 plate lift.

If it’s Sunday then it’s polpette al sugo (and the sauce will be used for our assassina. We are in Puglia.

In Puglia, every dish tells a story of the seasons, the land, the sea, and the people who live here. Our cucina povera tradition is seasonal and hyper local: these dishes are typical of Salento, the southern part of Puglia. Seek them out in Lecce - you probably won’t find them in Bari! #Italy

We never expected a purple summer. This evening, the moon over our Puglia Guys summer HQ in Italy gave the perfect chance to share a favourite tune. The musical is Spring Awakening. So amazing we bought tickets immediately for the week after. #SpringAwakening #PugliaGuys

When friends visit we always get them to make fresh orecchiette pasta. The point isn’t how they shape. It’s the satisfaction of eating your own hand made pasta, with a sauce made using our Puglia kitchen olive oil, tomatoes and basil. That’s what makes life in the south of Italy so sweet!

Eat Puglia - something fishy this way comes! Hyper local and simply seasonal. Puglia’s cucina povera tradition has become one of Italy’s favourite ways of eating. #ItalianFood #FoodSky #PugliaGuys

Start the day the Puglia way. Espressino freddo, for coffee lovers. #Italy #coffee #buongiorno

That evergreen dilemma: chips, crisps, now cips! #Patatine #Puglia #chips

More pasta in Ostuni. Orecchiette, of course, with a big ball of quivering burrata to top. #Puglia #ItalianFood

Saturday night is pizza night. Pizza ai frutti di mare - Puglia seafood pizza. This pizza is loaded with seafood!!! #Italy #FoodSky

Today’s Puglia Kitchen lunch is Chicken Marengo. A French northern Italian recipe we use the pitted olives from our grove and local cardoncelli mushrooms. We could correct it with eggs and gamberoni - but French friends visiting might find this strange!

Cooking this morning from our Puglia Kitchen garden. Fig and chilli chutney.

Ostuni lunch. Paccheri cacio e pepe with prawn tartare.

Fig, fennel and bay leaf jam done. The fresh bay, picked from the bush adds a depth that suggests all is not sweetness and light… With the glut of figs left over in our Puglia Kitchen garden, we will make some fig and chilling chutney. If it’s a little cooler tomorrow!

In the Puglia Kitchen this morning: fig, fennel and bay jam underway.

Our all new Polignano a Mare (Italy) travel guide. Just in time for September (Italians may have returned to work, but this is the month when most foreign tourists visit Puglia). #TravelSky #TravelBloggersCommunity www.pugliaguys.com/2025/08/26/p...

It is impossible to read #Butter without craving food each few pages that pass. Plus we begin to question whether we should take a leaf from the north of Italy and use butter for our pasta, as we do with olive oil. #BookSky

Start the day the Puglia way. Espresso freddo.

It’s surf and turf (well almost) as we head towards the end of our summer season in Puglia. We tell you Puglia as it is. Local, lived in and authentic. #Italy #PugliaTravel #Food

La cena. Riso, patate e cozze. Puglia’s famous double carb dish. Rice, potatoes and mussels. One of our favourite regional dishes. (Andrea’s mum made it for us). #italy #italianfood

Two great Italian summer traditions in one. Al mare, in campeggio. At the camping! #Lecce #Puglia #estate

And just like that. Spaghetti all’assassina topped with fichi d’India sott’olio, and fichi d’India and ’Nduja pesto pangrattato. Made with prickly pear paddles from our Puglia Kitchen garden. It makes perfect sense: prickly pears thrive all across Puglia, just as they do alongside our chillies.

Spaghetti all’assassina with prickly pear paddle pesto and finished with prickly pear paddle sott’olio. New to our Puglia Kitchen for 2025. #pasta #italianfood #recipe
