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 best Italian experience I had during my 15-day trip. It reminded me of my grandmother and that family spirit. Velia is fun, caring, and simply fantastic. And so is her food. It’s out of this world. You haven’t known Italy until you’ve visited Velia.

An exceptional experience. A very kind woman, full of simple recipes that are easy to make. In love with life. You can also write down the recipe if you like. Truly recommended. :)

Cooking with Velia was a wonderful experience. We made a yummy dessert, sweet and sour zucchini and homemade pasta! Velia was a wonderful host and did an excellent job in teaching us her recipes!

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. ❤️
