I surprised my boyfriend with a cooking class for Valentine's Day gift and he absolutely loved it. Chef Mert was very welcoming, on time, organized and prepared for us to take his class. His directions were very clear both with his location and his cooking steps. It was our first cooking class and we were a little nervous but he gave us so many information about cooking; for example how to cut properly and tips for a meal to taste much better. We absolutely enjoyed the class and my boyfriend loved it! Menu was great and the food we made was delicious and very filling! Definitely go in hungry :) Thank you Chef Mert!!!!

We made a cake and a few pastries! The class was very intersting and fun. Marc really made the class enjoyable. I typically walk away with one or two good takeaways from cooking classes that I have taken in the past but I learned SO MUCH more from Marc in this class! He explained everything so well while making the experience intersting and fun and DELICIOUS!! I have already recommended this class to several people!! The class itself was very well orgonized and the space is very clean with a nice eating area. Really had a great experience and will try other classes as well!
