GREAT experience. Such a lovely way to spend time with friends/family. Mert even felt like an old friend we visited for dinner. The food was yummy, the penthouse was lush, and the company was like a warm hug. (Not to sound too hippy dippy, but… ahaha. Yeah).

Chef Mert is fantastic! He provided us with a wonderful culinary experience that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend his classes and booking him as your next private chef!
Chef Mert hails from a family of exceptional cooks who take pride in their Balkan and Mediterranean culinary cultures. He applied his natural talents while working at Michelin-starred Spago Beverly Hills. His experience preparing meals for A-list celebrities and food critics helped expand his enterprise as a private chef. In Chef Mert’s view, cuisine is an artform where passion and soul are as important as flavor and texture.
