Summer 2022

Thank you to Sophie and the team at Trulli Delicious for making our Birthday celebration such a success. From the choice of dishes on the extensive menu to the perfect execution of traditional Puglian Cuisine; we couldn’t fault any aspect of your service or delivery. Wonderful food and fantastic service. A perfect evening! We would be happy to recommend you to all of our friends. Thank you all so much! Claudio & Sara, April 2022

Thanks again for the trulli amazing experience.We were overwhelmed by what you guys cooked for us, it was amazing. Steve and family, May 2022

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for last night.  It was truly special , amazing food, we are still talking about all the dishes today. It was lovely to meet you both and chat, thank you for all your brilliant tips on cooking and Puglia, we will be trying them all out. If it came to meeting Stanley Tucci on a trip around Puglia food or you guys we pick you every time !We are now planning our next trip around another meal with you. Thank you so much again for a truly special evening. Debra, Brian, Chris and Nikki, June 2022

Pure Genius! A wonderful afternoon and evening of tasty, inventive and warm-hearted delight from Team Sophie and Rona. Prep and cooking of delicious Puglia-themed antipasti followed by a scrumptious pasta bake with meatballs, onion tart, then a dessert of chocolate torte with peaches soaked in fig syrup sent culinary and calorie enjoyment soaring heavenwards. Absolutely every aspect of the meal was brilliantly organised with much mutual bonhomie adding to the enjoyment of a very special and memorable time. David & Ian, Simon & Catrina, Ian & Peggy, September 2022

The evening you cooked for us was such a highlight, really magical. Absolutely amazing food, a chance to watch and learn as you prepared it all and your truly lovely company.  Thank you so much.  We hope to do it again next year. Debra, September 2022

Sophie and Rhona made my 70th birthday an occasion to remember with great fondness. The food was amazing, and so are Sophie and Rhona. I couldn’t have wished for a better evening. Thank you. Chris, September 2022

What a treat it was to have your wonderful food on our recent holiday to Puglia. We felt totally spoilt being fed so many delicious courses of food we could only dream of making ourselves in the comfort of our lovely Trulli.  We are still dreaming of those long balmy evenings with tables laden with your beautiful food. Thank you! We will hopefully be seeing you again next summer.  Ruth

We can’t express in words our pleasure at having an evening with Trulli Delicious. Sophie and her skilled assistant Rhona came to the villa and cooked a sumptuous spread of food. An endless succession of succulent antipasto appeared from the kitchen, with each as equally tasty as the last. This was followed by an excellent pasta and then main course and, with a final flourish, a delicious pudding. They do the preparation, the cooking, the washing up, the lot. Fabulous value for a special and unique night, and one that our whole family will always remember. Recommended unreservedly. Roary P, August 2021

 

Just a great big thank you for a wonderfully fun and inspiring time yesterday. Liz and I learnt so much and laughed so much….Thank you. The food ….. well it was amazing and our rather extended invitation simply loved the food, everything was amazing and the flavours fantastic. Sophie and Rhona, thank you  so much. With a big puglian hug. Jo C, August 2021 (cooking lesson)

 

Thanks to you, Sophie and James for giving us such a tremendous evening. All the dishes were superb without exception, with the Caponata and Parmigiana being voted as narrow favourites!  Thanks so much again and hope to see you again next year! Alex B, August 2021

 

Just a few words to say a very big thank you for my puglian cooking lessons! It was “trulli” enjoyable and informative. All so professional and organised, I am definitely going to recommend you to my friends here in Ostuni. Georgia B, August 2021 (cooking lesson)

 

Thanks Rhona and Sophie for last night. Delicious and fun. Nick C, August 2021

 

Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful meal last night. The food was wonderful. We have been coming to Puglia for fifteen years and we like our food and the meal we had last night was at least as good as the best restaurant food we have had in that time and far better than most. And we were able to sit in our garden and enjoy your company too! It was all wonderful, but I was delighted and amazed by the pasticciotto tart, which was so light and delicious. I have spent 25 years disliking pasticciotto and you converted me! It’s quite daring to offer Puglian traditional dishes in Puglia but you really have pulled it off. Best Puglian meal ever! We just need to try the other menus now. Thank you - and we will be back for much more! Anne Marie L, August 2021

 

It was so lovely to meet you both and eat such delicious food. Thank you both for a wonderful evening.  The food was truly delicious and Sophie’s knowledge of local traditions, produce and food customs really added to the experience.  The antipasti were wonderfully fresh and varied showcasing the richness of Puglia’s seasonal produce. We have been dreaming ever since of the burrata with peach salad - a real surprise and wonderful combination. The main course of chicken with olives was full of flavour, and the dessert of a fragrant and crumbly pasticiotto tart a perfect ending to a meal clearly prepared with love and generosity. Simon C, August 2021

 

Sophie and Rhona, Our family had a great time, with Pam having the brand-new meal experience of lying in the sun, smelling the cooking!
It was a memorable occasion for us and everyone enjoyed themselves, thanks for your efforts and creativity. Hope your business flourishes. Chris R, August 2021

 

Inviting Sophie and Rhona to cook a celebratory birthday dinner for us was one of the highlights of our vacation. And even though we had many lovely meals throughout our trip this private dinner hit every mark and was superb. The attention to detail and flavor, the combinations of food and the personal touch, it was all there and more.  We dined hours long in our vacation home where Sophie and Rhona brought out one delicious dish after another. Once they left the kitchen was all cleaned up and the left overs wrapped up for us. The communication about food preferences was easy and they were responsive to our requests. We can highly recommend this special treat for any vacation! Irma, September 2021

 

Thank you so much for such a delicious meal yesterday. We all went to bed very full and very happy.  I’m sure we have enough leftovers to keep us going for days and the chicken will make a fabulous dinner tonight. Thank you again, we will definitely recommend you to anyone coming to Puglia. Chris,October 2021

 

Just a quick note to thank you so much for giving us such a fantastic day. The food was, um, truly delicious, the two of you are utterly joyous company. Kev, October 2021

‘…with Sophie we had an immersive night.  Ironic that it was the best Italian food we have ever had cooked by an amazing, beautiful and warm-hearted lady from Oxford, but isn’t that the best Italian food – cooked with love!’
