Guided tour of Patience Gray's masseria
Patience Gray was the first writer to introduce Salento cooking to the world. She wrote the cult food classic Honey from a Weed, recently translated into Chinese, directly from her kitchen close to Presicce-Acquarica.
Her son, Nicholas Gray, will take us on a 'living museum' tour around the rustic masseria, the wild gardens and sculpture park she shared with the artist Norman Mommens, sculptor "at the end of the world".
Refreshments afterwards.
