I had cooked the Rustic french dinner with Chef Avi and it was so delicious; one of the tastiest chicken dishes i've ever had. Chef Avi was excellent, providing tips along the way as my cooking skills are beginner at best. He went out of his way to give tips about cooking in general and ways to eat healthier. Chef Avi was flexible in the method of the class, allowing us to decide how involved we wanted to be. I would recommend a class with Chef Avi to anyone looking to enjoy a few hours of cooking and great conversation. :)

I booked Avi as a surprise for my wife’s birthday and wow - he delivered! Not only was Avi a great conversationalist on a wide range of topics, he is incredibly knowledgeable about unique spices and ingredients that make a dish sing! He also is health conscious and provided valuable advice for places to buy high quality ingredients at bargain prices. We spent a lot of time laughing and my wife said it was was the best birthday surprise ever! #winning

Chef Avi provided an absolutely delightful culinary experience. Extremely knowledgeable on many different cooking techniques from different cultures and was very friendly and communicable. Showed us many new tips and tricks in the kitchen and never hesitated to make the best use of a learning opportunity. Chef Avi came prepared and shared with us his experiences as a chef and business owner. He was very flexible in working with people with varying culinary skills, and was able to adapt the recipes to individualized palates. He is a 5/5 recommendation for someone looking to try Cozymeal's services and is a great representation of a professional and passionate chef.
