We had a blast in the Pappardelle from scratch class with Chef Angela and it all seemed so easy with her instructions and her great energy and knowledge. Love how she checked our work and helped individuals when needed and kept us all on track step by step. PLUS - the end result was delicious!! Fun, informative and tasty. the perfect combo.

This was an amazing experience. Angela-Michele was not only a fun, and personable chef, but she was thorough in her instructions, and ensuring she continued to check in with us to see our progress. Additionally, the food was AMAZING. What a delicious recipe and so very much fun. Thank you!

Chef Ivan is an amazing teacher! He is extremely informative with a step by step technique for keeping all of his participants quite interested. The environment was super clean which was never a concern from the moment we walked in. The space was esthetically beautiful and you can see he takes great pride in his domain. I can see hosting a private event with friends or family as a bonding experience. This was an overall 5 star experience. We met such nice people and had a wonderful meal together. In the end, I am not a great sushi maker however, it was still the delicious. Its the ingredients and the love that matters when you sit down to enjoy a hand crafted meal. Chef Ivan is clearly well trained in his culinary skills and it shines through. I had to book far in advance since the secret is clearly out of the bag. His classes are not to be missed! Thank you Chef Ivan for an incredible experience!

Prof. Baker has mad skills when it comes to mixing delicious creations. I may have had a nap after his class because I drank the mimosas WAY too fast because they were THAT good. Although these recipes are keepers, the best thing about his classes are that we will take these recipes and do variations of them. He teaches you the are of exploring outside of the standard drink. Instead of enjoying our usual simple cocktails, he has us thinking about taking the time to enjoy something outstanding instead.Hes a fantastic teacher, a mixology master, a great facilitator of easy conversation, and such a nice guy.

Chef Joseph was so wonderful and helpful! He was patient, communicative, and very knowledgable about food. Doing the class via Zoom was not an obstacle at all, and he helped us make a delicious dish!

Very precise instructions and demonstration. It was a good group and everybody seem to be able to do everything in the order that they were telling us to do without any problems. They finished product was delicious and fun to do. I would definitely do it again.

I took the bourbon cocktails mixology class and it was really great. Professor Anthony was super knowledgeable about the history of bourbon and the different types of bourbon cocktails. His class was fun, easy to follow and he gave some great tips. I will definitely be taking another class with him because it was so much fun, informative, a great learning experience and most importantly, the drinks were great!!! I highly recommend any of his classes.

We had a great time learning how to make French Macarons with Chef Katie. There were 16 people in the class, but it didnt feel that big, as we were working in groups of 4. We made two batches, so we all got a chance to do each step (and got a chance to improve). Chef Katie was great about explaining each step clearly, and walked around to make sure things were coming together correctly. She also provided a lot of guidance on piping the batter correctly. Everything was delicious and we ended up with a lot of cookies to take home and eat over the course of the weekend! I would definitely do a class like this again. The space we were in was a professional kitchen with a great setup. Each group had their own stand mixer to utilize and everything was super clean.

My fiancé and I just took a small plates class with Chef Angela. We were taught how to do pot stickers, sushi and egg rolls. I was very nervous before the class, but Chef Angela made it easy to follow. I would highly recommend her classes. She is very personable, fun, and makes sure you are accommodated if needed. The reason I give the class 4 stars is because I felt that Cozymeal on their side fell a little short. Some of the participants were sent a menu list and others were not. I did receive a menu list, but the menu list was not completed and was missing some important information so I could be properly prepared. I would highly recommend for Cozymeal to send the Chef the same email that goes out to their participants so that any errors can be corrected before the class. I would still try another class again.

I had a great experience with this class and would love to do some more. It was very professional and fun. Thank you

Review №15

Very fun experience and wonderful meal... wish there was a bit more coordination on timing (we are not expert chefs and things flew by quickly) and also better preparation/instructions of quantity of ingredients. Everything was in metric and in grams... we had to try and convert to imperial ounces in volume... not very easy as each ingredient weighs a different amount.

Review №16

Jennifer did a great job. She is extremely knowledgeable in her craft and everyone that participated had a good time. One suggestion I have is it would have been good to have more detail about what we needed. While there was a list of ingredients given, it was not complete and we had to continually retrieve things. I would recommend the class to anyone.

I received a Cozymeal gift from my co-workers and tried it for the first time with Chef Gilley. The instructions were so clear, and I loved learning how the names of the dishes translated. While not all the ingredients were easy to find in my tiny local grocery store, it was easy to substitute. The results were amazing - we loved every bite.

Professor Anthony Baker is funny, professional, and an absolute font of knowledge. Not only were the cocktails delicious and unique in the three classes that weve taken, but we also learned something new about the history of the spirits and cocktails in every class. Even my mom who is not a drinker enjoyed it!

I enjoyed the class. As long as you have everything prepared it goes quickly and smoothly. I am happy to have learned the basics of sushi rolling and will practice to make my rolls look better! Fun class and really good instructors. Thank you!

The gin mixology class with Anthony was so much fun! The cocktails were really delicious, and Anthony let us ask him questions about anything and everything . Loved that we could do this in the comfort of our own home. There were a few issues with the ingredient list prior to the class, but that was all forgotten as soon as we got started :-) I definitely want to do more classes!

I was looking for a unique Christmas gift for my wife Emilee and saw Joaselyn on Cozymeals. I wrote to request the class and explained that I am a baboon with a knife and that may be an insult to baboons the world over. I am a bit intimidated by kitchens and cooking, but she quickly accepted my request and I was excited about the class.Emilee and I were warmly greeted at the door by Joaselyn and her amazing canine friend, Petra. Dont worry, Petra will go and do her own thing if you arent into dogs, but we love animals, so she was an absolute treat. Joaselyn immediately made felt at ease. Her apartment is beautiful and welcoming. The table was set, there was a full menu on the fridge along with the steps. She gave us an overview of what we were to do and we were off.In my estimation, Joaselyn really did it right. For an accomplished chef, it would be easy to step in, but she would say Ken, youre going to start by.... and allowed me the opportunity to actually work through my tasks, and did the same for Emilee, who is a pretty good cook herself. She explained every step, why you do it and for how long. She explained how ingredients interact and what flavors can be brought out and how. The dishes came together beautifully and the finished tapas were incredibly delicious, if I may say so.We sat down to dine on our creations, and Joaselyn joined us, but didnt eat. Was she silently saying Im not eating anything he cooked? No, Im sure she eats enough of these. Joaselyn is a wonderful conversationalist, is well-traveled and it seemed like we were with an old friend. We had a fantastic time and this Christmas gift was one well remember for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Joaselyn highly enough. She is a wonderful chef and human being. We look forward to cooking at her place again.The food tasted as good as it looked and it looks like Emilee made a friend.

We had so much fun in this class! Anthony was very knowledgeable on the subject and gave us a ton of useful tips. We liked this class so much that we already signed up for his gin class in March. 10/10 would recommend!

Anthony was an excellent host and professor of mixology. It takes some serious skill to entertain and teach a large group virtually and his approach was charming, informative and fun! Ive received nothing but positive feedback from the attendees and all are asking for us to do this again ASAP. THANK YOU ANTHONY!!!

I appreciated the extra tips and tricks and did successfully make the dish. However, it went very fast and felt very rushed. I never had time to even take a sip of wine.

Review №32

Chef Gilley was great - friendly and knowledgeable. He would definitely get 4 stars. However, this review is mainly about the space and overall enjoyment of the experience. My boyfriend and I would have definitely enjoyed it more if the space was different. The apartment kitchen was tiny and cramped and cluttered. When cooking several meals with 3 people it would be much more enjoyable with a decent sized space. The cooking experience and the food itself was ok. I wish we would have known what kind of space we were going to be in because that would have been the deciding factor for which chef to choose. We were really looking forward to having a really special time in a cozy place but instead we were in a cramped New York apartment kitchen.

Where to start?! I booked a class with Chef David for my boyfriends bday. Due to traffic we arrived a whole HOUR late, but luckily we were the only two to have booked that particular class. David was excited and ready to cook regardless of the late start, and made sure we felt welcome and comfortable. My boyfriend and I loved every minute of our experience, and we learned so much! Will definitely visit again soon with family and friends!!!!!

Jen was amazing! We had so much fun and she went above and beyond for our group. Would absolutely recommend her!

Jo
Review №37

Chef Rishika was pleasant and easy to work with. However, the recipes she followed were different than the ones provided on the website. Also, her ingredient list was not accurate to the recipes. For example, her ingredient list included mustard oil, which she explained to us illegal to cook with in the US. I purchased this expressly for this cooking class. There were other examples.This class would work best if there were 2 people working together. I found myself bouncing back and forth at the end between the cook top and my work space.

I did this class with my teenage son as a pandemic activity that we could do from home and it was so much fun!! The chef was wonderfully interactive with a great sense of humor. We had a class full of teenage boys and she kept them engaged the whole time (which we all know is a feat in itself). I am already looking for our next class.

Chef Jared, in Houston, taught us how to make delicious crab cakes! We have made them twice at our own home since the Cozymeal experience! We would have never attempted such a feat if it had not been for his guidance and expertise! The experience with him was laid back and enjoyable, and now WE make some of the best crab cakes in Houston!

Review №52

Chef Robert was very accommodating, friendly and fun to cook with. He made wonderful food choices and we had fun working together. We spent 3 hours with Chef Robert, but it felt like 30 minutes. The time went quickly as we were distracted by the enjoyment of chopping, mincing, dicing and stirring while being led by Chef Robert and his abundance of great stores. My wife and I would recommend this cooking class.

Chef Ivan was really great and educational. His space for class was an awesome “Old New York” apartment which gave the entire evening a super cool vibe. The food was really good as well! I would definitely grab a snack before going in, if you are someone that gets hangry. Class started at 6, and we were probably eating just after 8. While going as a couple was totally fine and fun, I think if you grab a few friends you would have an evening to remember for a long time

We did the tour of italian treasures with Chef Ivan. There are two kitchens so plenty of space and attention to help you learn some recipes! Kitchen is very clean and they had all of the ingredients prepared for us. They gave us tips along the way and at the end we got to eat everything we prepared! It was almost too much food - pesto linguine, chicken with mashed potatoes (but more fancy than I make it sound) and tiramisu! Delicious - amazing. Would recommend! Waiting for them to send recipes so I can try these out at home :)

Wonderful experience, great chef, priced right. Compared to airbnb, their chefs are well vetted for their cooking skills, food quality, and cooking accommodations.We had a great evening with Chef Gilley. He taught us how to make so many simple yet very tasty Chinese appetizers. The dipping sauce for his wontons and scallion pancakes is liquid gold and he was kind enough to send us home with so many leftovers including a ton of prized dipping sauce. Highly recommended for wonderful and tasty evening.

We attended Chef Dans Spanish Cooking Class with three other people and couldnt have had a better experience.

We even had extra food to take home for dinner! Great way to spend the afternoon :)

We had a wonderful time at Indian Cooking Using Modern Methods. It was myself, my sister and my 14 year old granddaughter. Chef Mukti is a wonderful instructor and a very lovely person. We not only learned how to cook foods from India but we also learned a lot about the spices that make Indian food so delicious. And the food, all of it, was truly delicious. Certainly a five star experience.

Chef Mukti was absolutely fabulous. A charming person and an exceptional cook. Her instructions and demonstrations were clear and very interesting. I learned a lot about the techniques of cooking Indian food. Lots of information and great cooking tips. We all got to both cook and watch (and, of course, eat the exceptionally delicious food we had prepared). We learned how to make about seven different dishes, including 3 vegetable dishes, chicken, bread, mango lassi...as well as masala, which is the basis for almost all of the dishes. Chef Mukti told us where to buy and how to choose the best ingredients, and provided recipes for everything. It was exactly the learning experience I had hoped for...and above all, it was really fun! Kudos and thanks to Chef Mukti!!!
