Mercedes is a great teacher, very kind, patient, and professional. I was a true beginner and was even afraid to turn on my stove and oven. She takes me shopping for supplies and ingredients and then comes back to my apartment to teach me how to cook. I foresee working with her for a long time to learn different techniques and recipes. She’s also just a great human being: smart, funny, and wonderful to be with.
