Booking this experience with Jeff was perfect from start to finish. Communicating with him beforehand was super easy and he arrived fully prepared with everything he would need to bring these dishes to life. Cooking with him was a ton of fun and we learned a lot along the way. And, of course, the food was absolutely incredible.
I didn't know what to expect as this was my first time booking something like this, but really ended up feeling blown away. I would book Jeff again in a second and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.
Thanks Jeff!

Had a great experience with Chef Jeff! I had booked him for a birthday celebration and everyone had a great time. Chef Jeff was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining and came prepared with everything that was needed. He also made the experience very inviting as some people were a bit shy and didn't have any cooking experience. The food was incredible and I was very impressed with the service and he left everything cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time with CJ like I’ve nicknamed him ?. It was his birthday treat and our anniversary.
The meals were delicious, taste was differently good and way out of the already. My boyfriend who’s a picky eater cleared his plate without hesitating or overthinking.
Chef Jeff was friendly, communicative, prim and polite. He cleaned up well and left the kitchen spotless. He kept to time and made sure we were ok each time he got the chance to.
This experience was super fun and pleasant; it sure outdid my expectation in an amazing way. We sure had a good time frfr and if we’re to have it again, it definitely will be CJ ?

What a great experience, Chef Jeff was awesome!
The food and presentation was fabulous. Jeff was extremely personable and friendly, he arrived on time and handled all the clean up! The best part of this experience was when Jeff explained the dishes in detail, also the portion sizes were very generous. Jeff checked in on us multiple times throughout the meal.
Overall fun experience with some very tasty food! Can't wait to book again.

Chef Jeff was wonderful! He guided us through a delicious French meal. He accommodated our preferences in advance and taught us how to make the perfect steak. We also loved learning ratatouille, pommes aligot, and chocolate mousse. Jeff is kind, fun, professional, and laid back - and made the experience joyful and comfortable. We particularly appreciated that he would clean up for us between courses while we got to savor the food. Highly recommend!

Chef Jeffrey was incredible. This is my husband and I's first experience with Cozymeal and hiring a private chef experience altogether. Chef Jeffrey was patient, super friendly, lovely to chat with and detailed. The food was perfectly cooked and he made our wedding anniversary so special for us. I cannot thank him enough for such a lovely experience. For anyone looking for a personalized cooking class, work team social event or private chef experience, Chef Jeffrey is your guy. We will certainly be hiring you again. Thank you.

Chef Jeffrey was extremely professional, and taught us the fundmentals behind preparing an authentic french onion soup, steak au poivre and a mousse desert. He was very organised, with all the ingredients and prep work finshed before arrival, and sorted into containers ready to cook. He cleaned as we cooked, and left the kitchen spotless.
Happy to recommend his services.
