Mercedes was absolutely incredible! She gave me a lesson on how to improve my knife skills and showed me three different techniques / recipes on how to elevate the salads I make for my weekly meal prep. Mercedes recipes were extremely creative, flavorful, simple / user friendly, and elegant. She is also a great teacher. I’m a beginner (at best!), and I feel totally comfortable replicating the three salads we prepared, and then even adding my own ideas / adjustments going forward as I do my meal prep each week. I’m so happy I got to work with her, and I’ll definitely plan to study with her on a regular basis! Looking forward to the next session and learning even more ways to spice up my meal prep!

Mercedes is a great teacher, very kind, patient, and professional. I was a true beginner and was even afraid to turn on my stove and oven. She takes me shopping for supplies and ingredients and then comes back to my apartment to teach me how to cook. I foresee working with her for a long time to learn different techniques and recipes. She’s also just a great human being: smart, funny, and wonderful to be with.
Wonderful working with Mercedes to build a beautiful sushi dinner and celebrate my girlfriend's birthday -- had a great time and learned a ton in the process.
Amazing experience Looking forward to booking another class All the food came out so great She was the best!! Highly recommend
Mercedes was so punctual and professional. She was organized, responsive, and extremely presentable with each stage of the process. She made an extremely professional and beautiful menu, recipe book, and event for us. She checked in often and was communicative and flexible with each stage of planning. She was also very attentive to food allergies and being creative with our preferences. I couldn’t recommend her more!
