About us

Valentina Rasà con lo staff di Cucina Manipura

“In my family, food has always been a way of taking care of the people we love. My love and passion for my work grew out of that awareness”

Valentina Rasà, founder

Valentina Rasà built her career over twenty-five years at Vodafone Business: complex projects, teams to lead, clients to listen to and support. A method she now brings to every event.

Alongside this path grew a family passion for Sicilian cuisine, nurtured through study and training all the way to fine dining and the title of FISAR Sommelier.

This is how Manipura was born: in 2010 as a private chef and catering service, today as a group behind weddings, corporate events and food projects in Sicily. In Eastern culture the name recalls the chakra linked to nourishment: food as a way of taking care of people.
