My name is Veronica Reale, I am a chef.

I arrived in Canada 12 years ago and this country welcomed me with great love and that's why I want to give back with my culinary talent.

My motto is "Eat well, laugh often and love a lot".

I'm not the only one in the family wearing the chef uniform indeed, my brother already has 2 restaurants in Vietnam!

My connection with food begins in Abruzzo with the academy of pizza makers. I was successful by offering original pizzas, satisfying everyone's palate, thus increasing the number of customers.

Even when I propose myself in Canada as a chef for the staff parties or special events, everybody remembers me for the quality of the ingredients I select and for the innate Italian taste. I think it's because cooking for me is just a great pleasure!

After working for Café Bellagio and becoming a mother of two, I decided to go into the market with my own business "La Scarpetta cucina".

Oh how much satisfaction and how much courage it took me to carry out my dream job!

If you too want to create exclusivity at a party, event, special home meals, or you just want to taste the true tradition of Italian cuisine, I will be happy to offer to you my services because your satisfaction for me is priceless.

My collaboration expands from individuals to businesses. If you need any advice to enrich your menu I will be thrilled to share my passion and my knowledge with you.

For me, cooking is...

Passion and life style !!!

I learned to cook at...

Accademia italiani Pizzaioli, owner of a restaurant and lots of experience.

A cooking secret...

Having fun, cook with passion and make the client happy.

Chef Veronica created an absolutely wonderful dinner experience for us! All of the dishes were delicious and plentiful. We didn't have to lift a finger, Veronica took care of all the details, while being accommodating to our needs and wants. We'd love to have Chef Veronica cook for us again!
