I had the pleasure of attending a pasta making and cooking class with Chef Mert last night, and I must say it was an incredible experience. From start to finish, Chef Mert's passion for pasta making and cooking was evident, and his expertise was truly impressive. Not only did Chef Mert teach us how to make delicious homemade pasta, but he also shared his secrets for creating the perfect sauce to pair with it. His guidance and attention to detail made the cooking process feel effortless and enjoyable, even for someone like me who is not a natural in the kitchen. What stood out most to me was Chef Mert's warm and welcoming demeanor. He created an atmosphere that was both educational and fun, and he was always available to answer any questions we had. Overall, I highly recommend Chef Mert's pasta making and cooking class to anyone who loves good food and wants to learn more about the art of pasta making. His passion, expertise, and welcoming personality make him an exceptional teacher, and I cannot wait to try out my new skills in my own kitchen.

Chef Mert was great. Pleasant and interactive with us. We learned about him as a Chef and as a person outside of cooking. We did a focus on homemade dough. Great meal and fun to do a few of the things Chef Mert had us do. He is excellent.
