Hi from Velia!

I'm a gourmet who has had excellent teachers with dishes ranging from couscous throughout the region to pasta with sardines, 'la norma', squid ink, Sicilian rolls, fish in sweet and sour or in salt crust, Sicilian cassata, cannoli and much more also because the dishes vary with the seasons. In my opinion, cooking should be pleasing to the palate and eyes, it should be healthy, easy to learn (for cooking classe) and good. I have always been used to receiving and I like to have contact with people and I make my guests feel comfortable.

The 4 of us had a wonderful night cooking with Velia. Our meal we prepared under her guidance was delicious. Velia is a fun and generous host who made us feel very welcome in her home. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful morning spent cooking with Velia. We created some traditional Sicilia food! So good! The flavors were amazing. I felt like I was cooking with my own Nonna. ❤️

Velia was a lovely host and chef as she taught my cousin and I how to make pasta. We had the best evening cooking together and I highly recommend taking a class!

I’m a sole traveller and following the great reviews I decided to book a class with Velia and it sure didn‘t disappoint! From the moment you walk through the door, Velia makes you feel welcome and treats you almost like family. The food we made together was incredibly delicious, probably the best meal I had while in Palermo. She also treated me to a wonderful aperitivo with prosecco. I also loved the anecdotes she shared and overall I really felt like I got to live a truly Sicilian experience. Moreover, when I complimented one of her plants she generously offered me a cutting that I will now bring back home with me and that will remind me of this wonderful encounter :) Highly recommended! Grazie mille, Velia!
