We recently had the pleasure of attending a team-building cooking class, and it was an amazing experience! Chef Burcu was outstanding – not only incredibly skilled but also exceptionally patient and personable. she made the entire session fun and engaging, ensuring everyone felt involved and capable, regardless of their cooking experience. The food we prepared under the chef's guidance was phenomenal. Every dish turned out delicious, and we left with both full stomachs and new culinary skills. The chef’s ability to balance teaching, coaching, and fostering a relaxed atmosphere was truly impressive. It was the perfect blend of teamwork, learning, and enjoyment. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable activity, I highly recommend this experience. A huge thank you to Chef Burcu for making it such a fantastic day!
