Honey from

a Weed

A series of public events in November to share a meal based on the recipes and tales from Honey from a Weed, Patience Gray’s book published in 1986 about Mediterranean food and the Salento.


The meals are also created alongside the agriculture activity and are part of the public program of Casa delle Agriculture in Castiglione d'Otranto (Lecce) that will be hosting Madame Cadec’s research and cooking.


All events will take place at Vivaio dell’Inclusione of Casa delle Agricolture in Castiglione d’Otranto (Lecce).
