Italian night
Fresh pasta from scratch, risotto, tiramisu. A glass in hand, the chef at your side — by the end, you and the Italian nonnas are equals.
Tochni · Cyprus · since 2023 and still not burnt out
A cooking party where you'd normally just have dinner
Chef Max and the team. We cook together like friends in a home kitchen — no tedious theory, just a glass in hand and food worth coming for. For groups of friends, couples, corporate teams and anyone who thought cooking was boring.

About MaxVel Kitchen
Not a school. Not a restaurant. A kitchen where you're the guest.
I put together a kitchen in Cyprus you visit the way you visit friends: we cook, we chat, we feed each other. No classroom theory, no “take 3 g of saffron and pray”. Proper food and warm company.
↘ and we won't be offended if you just came to eat- The chef stays close and never acts like you're in the way
- It's a party — no uniforms, no exams
- Classes for adults and for kids
- Kitchen hire, for when you don't need the chef today
- Catering — we'll bring it over and serve it beautifully
- The dish and the skill both go home with you

The vibe
Cooking classes
For adults and groups
From a dinner for two to a corporate night for 20+. The chef leads, you cook, and it all ends at one shared table. The real challenge is not eating everything before the photos.
Steaks & grill
Learn to choose the right cut, read the doneness, make the sauces. After this, you'll stop asking restaurants “is it definitely medium?”.
Sushi & rolls
Japanese food, home edition: rice, nori, fillings, neat rolls. Your friends will assume you secretly trained in Tokyo.
Hen party in the kitchen
Light bites, desserts, prosecco. As cosy as a best friend's place — except a chef does the cooking, and the washing-up isn't yours either.
Corporate team building
We split the team into brigades and cook dinner together. Colleagues finally talk about something other than work — then spend two months reliving this evening.
Bespoke programme
Any cuisine, any occasion. Tell us what you want — we'll try not to overdo it. (we'll probably overdo it)
Prices are approximate. The final one depends on the menu and the number of guests. ↗ no surprises on the bill, promise
Kids' classes
A party for your child. Zero hassle for the parents.
↖ you don't even have to stay — we'll hand the child back happyKids shape their own pizzas, decorate doughnuts and build desserts. Safe knives, a clean kitchen, a chef keeping an eye on every child. You don't need to bring a thing.
Pizza party
Every child rolls out their own dough and picks their toppings. The result: a hot pizza and a kid who now knows how it's done.
Mini doughnuts & desserts
A sweet class with decorations, icing and sprinkles. The kids take home a box of treats; the parents take home some peace and quiet.
Full-service birthday
We cook, we play, we eat. A chef-host, a cake, treats boxed to take away. Your only job is pressing “record” on your phone.

FAQ
The questions we get asked most
↑ plus the ones people are too shy to askWhat if I've never cooked in my life?
That's a plus. We love hands unspoiled by habits. The chef explains every step and nothing we give you is complicated — only dishes you can repeat at home without embarrassing yourself. promise
Do I need to bring anything?
No. All ingredients, tools, tableware and aprons are ours. You come, cook, eat, and take your dish home. the skill is a free bonus
What language are the classes in?
Russian or English — you choose when booking. The chef is bilingual. If a group from 7 countries turns up, we'll manage — it worked last time.
What about allergies / vegan diets?
Tell us when booking — we'll adapt the menu. Gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan, nuts, seafood — we can handle it. one guest ruled out 6 ingredients at once. we managed that too
What about alcohol and drinks?
Adult classes include a glass of wine or prosecco. Extra drinks are available on request and charged separately. No wine at kids' classes — not for the kids, and not for the parents.
What's the minimum and maximum number of guests?
Adult classes — 4 to 25 people. Kids' classes — from 6 children. Fewer or more — message us and we'll work something out. we once cooked for just two. they still had fun
How far are you from Limassol and Larnaca?
25 minutes from Limassol, 20 minutes from Larnaca. Free parking by the church. If you get lost, look for the house with blue windows opposite the church.
Can I just hire the kitchen without a chef?
Yes. Studio hire is a separate service — for your own event: a dinner, a shoot, your own workshop. We'll confirm the price for your format.
How do I pay, and is there a deposit?
Whatever suits you — we agree the payment method and the booking deposit when confirming on WhatsApp. The amount is fixed in advance: nothing will appear on the bill that you didn't know about. no surprises — we promised
Can I reschedule or cancel a booking?
Yes. Plans change — let us know as early as you can and we'll find a new date together. Rescheduling and cancellation terms are agreed at booking.
Can we take photos and videos?
Please do! The studio light suits it well. Shoot as much as you like on your phone; for professional filming of your event, tell us in advance — we'll help you set it up. your Instagram will thank you
