My daughter has been taking classes with Julie for about 2 years. She totally loves and it and counts down the days between visits! She loves learning to cook and bake alongside kids her age. We recently hosted a sushi class at our home and Julie came with all the needed equipment and made it a great experience for our daughter's group of friends! Finding The Merry Kitchen has been such a gift to us!

My 13 y.o. said this camp was “fire,” which is “the best” in kid-speak. He went in loving cooking and came out loving it even more. He was especially fond of the no-recipes/secret-ingredient element of his camp this summer. He will be back! Such a casual, welcoming environment. Thanks, Julie.

My daughter attended a two day camp here as well as a birthday party in the last month. She very much enjoyed both of them and would like to return for another class in the future!

We have been going to Merry Kitchen classes for years. My daughter loves to learn about food and enjoys showing off her creations. Julie is a wonderful teacher and she is constantly adding new and fun things for the kids to learn. We did the Chopped Camp this summer and the kids are now offering to cook us dinner! Can't recommend enough.

My daughter has taken many classes and camps with The Merry Kitchen and has learned many tricks on how to bake and measure accurately. She has enjoyed many of the different classes and camps and would happily sign up for another one. :)

Been to 2 private cooking classes now with my nieces and mom. We had so much fun, all 4 of us, and the food we made was delicious! Our first class me made chicken tacos, homemade corn tortillas, Spanish rice, and salsa. The last class we made desserts. Baklava, my nieces favorite, whoopie pies, and lemon crinkle cookies. We can not wait to come back! Julie is a wonderful instructor, patient and fun. Definitely recommend, not just for kids but adults too!

my kiddos just took a holiday baking class and are already asking to go back for the summer. Julie is fantastic at working with the kids. the kids love her and the goodies. I highly recommend The Merry Kitchen for anyone with kiddos who are even slightly interested in baking and cooking.

My daughter attended class for the first time with Julie. She is 8 years old and loves cooking. She had so much fun learning how to cook and prepare food. We will be bringing her back for sure!

Over the years (pre-Covid, during, and post-Covid) my daughter has taken several classes at the Merry Kitchen and every time she comes back happy and saying great things. So we decided to schedule a class for us parents for our anniversary. We had Julie come over and do a complete surf n' turf dinner with roasted potatoes, grilled veggies, and lace cookies. I can't tell you enough how much we enjoyed our class and our meal later... It was to die for! We are now considering having Julie come to do a class for our family to get our son more cooking exposure before college.We highly recommend the Merry Kitchen!!

My kids have done several cooking classes and they love every single one. Small groups and great recipes. Highly recommend!

Had a small birthday celebration with The Merry Kitchen and had such a fun experience! Beforehand, shes super open about what we actually wanted to make (we picked enchiladas and cupcakes). Merry also takes COVID and state/city regulations very seriously by requiring masks and social distancing the best we can. The end result was fantastic and we got to take the recipes home to make again!If you’re looking for a fun-filled, COVID safe, birthday party/class, The Merry Kitchen is the way to go!

I have 3 sons and they have been attending in person and online cooking classes here for over 8 years. They love it because she is friendly, has clear instructions, and makes the meal they are cooking fun for the age group attending.

My 3 girls a have been taking classes with Julie for years! She’s patient, creative, and so much fun. I can’t recommend The Merry Kitchen enough for all ages!

My daughter has taken three of the Merry Kitchen online classes. Julie sends the recipes and ingredient list beforehand so that you have enough time to gather ingredients and your child is ready to focus on learning the techniques. Julie is super patient and explains the steps in a very age-appropriate manner. I'm always amazed at how well the classes are planned so that the kids are able to complete two to three recipes in under 2 hours.
