Chef Mert was just fabulous. I can't say enough. My dad, brother, and I did the pasta making class- even though we are above novice in skill, we were able to learn so much from Chef Mert - not to mention the food was absolutely delicious. Could not recommend enough!

Chef Mert was amazing. He explained what he was doing every step of the way. He offered insight to his experience and gave tips on where to buy ingredients. Everyone had a great time

We had a wonderful time with Chef Mert celebrating my boyfriends birthday. We did the private pizza cooking class and it was so fun. We learned so much and got to eat delicious food. He was so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!
