DO NOT RECOMMEND. This wasn't a cooking class, it was the chef cooking in front of us and not allowing us to do anything. He made inappropriate sexual comments and kept eating the food while he was cooking, without washing his hands after touching his mouth. It was very unprofessional. I wanted a cooking class, not this crap. I even asked him if we were going to be able to participate in a COOKING CLASS, and he said no. Don't advertise it as a cooking class if it's not a cooking class!

Chef Mell was awesome! The conversation was great and we enjoyed our meal. It was my husband's birthday and he gave a bag of raspberries chocolate that was used in our dessert.

Food was good, although a bit heavy on the soy sauce for our preference. We would have liked to have more of a hands-on cooking lesson; this was lecture-style with the spring rolls as the only opportunity to "do it yourself." Also, it was hard to learn how to make the dishes on our own when so many components were marinated or otherwise prepared ahead of time.

Me my boyfriend really enjoyed our time with chef Mell. He kept the communication open from the time he was on his way to our place to get time he got here. Once he arrived and had time to settle in and start cooking, the continued to hit us with delicious dishes one after the other. Filling both our bellies to the very end. Not only was the food delicious but he was very professional and kept a humorous yet open dialogue open the entire time. I would definitely recommend him if you want someone that makes delicious food along with a fun experience that will have you laughing the whole way through.

We’ve had Chef Mell’s pulled pork meals a few times now and they’ve been spot on each time! The pork is always perfect and his rice and beans are some of the best I’ve had. He had smoked wings once and those were great too! Highly recommended.
