Welcome to

my little bit of Italy

Ciao, I'm Melania!
Most people call me Mela
Mela means apple in Italian
And that’s me, a little Mela!
Ever since I was a bambina, I've loved cooking and experimenting with flavours.
Back then, the kitchen was Mamma's kingdom.
A place full of wonderful smells, delicious food and plenty of love. I still try to follow her example.
Even something as simple as making pasta with tomato sauce makes me deliciously happy.
For me, cooking is a way of showing affection.
Italian food is like a warm embrace. 
It brings comfort, joy and, most importantly, people together.
I've always loved bringing people together. Through stories, laughter and, of course, food.
That's why I created Mela Cooking
To bring
A Little Bit of Italy to London
To share my family recipes, the stories behind them and the pleasure of cooking and eating together.
So come on in, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
Let me serve up a little
Italian happiness!
