Michael came to our apartment and cooked for 21 people in a very small kitchen …the preparation, presentation, communication and taste of the food were absolutely excellent. He tailored the menu to every request and need and was such a joy to have serving his delicious food to our big group. It was a special occasion made all the more special by Michael and his team and I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you!

It was an amazing experience. I really loved the way sicilian food was fusioned with turkish tastes. Everyone enjoyed the experience a lot. Mr Michael served 5 courses and each of them was a masterpiece. Thank you
