The Merry Kitchen is the brainchild of Julie Merry. Julie got her bachelor’s degree in Nutrition at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia and soon became a Registered Dietitian. While attending GSU, she switched her focus to the culinary aspects of nutrition. During college, she worked as a nanny for four children and discovered they had never been taught to cook

Birthday Parties
Birthday Parties at the Merry Kitchen are a blast! Birthday party minimum number of people is four. Maximum at the Merry Kitchen ranges between 8-10, depending on theme and age group. The Merry Kitchen also travels to your home or other venue for an additional cost. Minimum number of people at your location of choice is five. If I travel to you, there can be more than 10 kids, but I don’t advise more than 12 kids cooking at once.

EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Sarah Z Gaskins2025-03-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julie is amazing! She catered to all of my daughter's wishes and created a super fun baking birthday party. A Joshi2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julie and The Merry Kitchen was a great choice for a 9 year old's birthday party! She was so gracious in accommodating the energetic kids and taught them patiently. All the kids loved making the food and eating it together afterwards. I would highly recommend The Merry Kitchen to anyone who wants a different kind of celebration! John Chowning2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently held my daughter’s birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Julie had everything prepared for the kids, from aprons, to hair ties, and copies of the recipes to take home. The experience was seamless, with the kids being able to bake, decorate and enjoy their cupcakes all within 2 hours. I’d recommend you give the Merry Kitchen a visit! Heh Shin K.2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julie hosted my daughter‘s birthday party yesterday and it was wonderful! She allowed my daughter to choose a menu and guided 6 children to make a delicious lasagna, garlic bread, and roasted broccoli. She taught them quite a few kitchen skills and it was completely hands-on. The kids really enjoyed eating their creations, plus Julie was so sweet and kind! I would highly recommend doing a cooking class or camp with her sometime. It was the best birthday ever! Douglas Varenas2025-01-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks, Julie! My daughter had a great time making pot stickers for Chinese New Year! You are kind, patient, and run a tight ship, which isn't easy to do with 7 kids. The home and kitchen environment were so warm and welcoming. Highly recommended! Jessica Guthrie2024-08-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! cynthia nelson2024-08-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. nichole alhadeff2024-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! Julie Murray2024-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
