“I have taken many cooking classes but yours was rated #1. It was so much fun. I made your crème brûlée with Chambord berry sauce for my guests. Delicious! Chef John, please create a cookbook with your great techniques and advice.”

“John and the Mezzaluna gave our staff an interactive cooking demonstration and my team loved it. We participated in making crab cakes and hors d’oeuvres while the main dish was prepared. It was a very relaxed evening for the whole team. It wasn’t until John waived goodbye, as we were all still visiting that I realized the kitchen was spotless and everything was put away. What a treat!”

“Mezzaluna, you did an excellent job teaching our management team how to prepare the meal. Your dinner preparation and selection of great cuisine made the evening a total success. Everyone said they enjoyed themselves and learned more about making great food. The crème brûlée was a particular hit.”
