Chef Mel prepared delicious Asian cuisine and answers plenty of questions about the dishes he created.
A very generous portion of food. There were just two of us but we had enough food for four people. Got to enjoy leftovers the next day

First, for us it was not a class (as noted in many of the previous reviews) and we knew that going in which is one of the reasons we selected Chef Mell. This was a get-together of friends that had not had a chance to be together for awhile and we wanted a great meal with time to visit. Chef Mell arrived on time, had basically everything to prepare and serve the meal, and cleaned up after himself! The food itself was delicious and perfectly prepared. Chef Mell is upbeat, entertaining, and allowed as much help/hands on as desired. So for those that wanted hands on, (he in our case) could do so while they rest observed and sipped on wine! Highly recommend as a Chef!

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.
