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!

Chef Mert and his pasta class was amazing!! I attended his 3 course cooking class with 3 other friends and we all had a blast. While cooking, my friends and I each took turns implementing our newly learned techniques from chef Mert, like rolling out the dough and using the pasta machine. Chef Mert made us all feel very welcome and comfortable. We learned new things and recipes that we can try at home. Our next Cooking class with Chef Mert will be sushi!! Thanks Chef!
