Chef Iain

I loved learning about the different processes and useful techniques to make cooking easier and accessible. Chef Iain gave me a better appreciation for cooking and trying my own recipes. I can now cook tastier meals at home! This was my second class with Chef Iain and he is a great teacher

We had so much fun with Chef Iain! The class was funny, fun and truly really cozy. The food was great as well!

Truly enjoyed the cooking class we took with Chef Iain. This was a team building activity and the food was delicious plus we really learned a lot from chef!

Chef Iain made the whole experience fun and relaxed. The food was great and we walked away having learned great techniques!

Chef Iain was the best! I learned many new techniques and the entire meal was outstanding. Preparing the meal was great fun given Chef's easy-going nature, wit, warmth and knowledge. This was by far the most fun cooking class I've ever had. And for Chef to invite us to cook at his home made the experience all the more charming.

I expected to learn how to make a few tapas, but the real benefit of the night was the dozen or so cooking tips Ian gave me that I had never thought of before. Ian was the best!

Chef Iain is a wonderful and informational teacher. He gave nice step by step instructions on how to make each dish while also giving a few tricks about cooking here and there. He was easy to talk to and made sure that we felt comfortable as well. The recipes were easy and fun to make. The food was absolutely delicious as well.

I recently took a cooking class with Chef Iain, and it was such a fun experience! Chef Iain was super welcoming and made everyone feel at ease right from the start. He’s not only skilled but also really passionate about cooking, which made the class enjoyable and engaging. We cooked up some fantastic dishes: moussaka, filled mushrooms, and panna cotta. Chef Iain walked us through each recipe with clear instructions and shared plenty of kitchen wisdom along the way. Even those of us who weren’t too confident in our cooking skills found it easy to keep up and have fun with it. The moussaka was rich and flavorful, definitely a highlight! The mushrooms were a hit too, stuffed with the tastiest filling. And the panna cotta? It was the cherry on top of a great evening—smooth, creamy, and just sweet enough. Chef Iain took the time to connect with everyone, answering our questions and making sure we all had a great time. The class felt like cooking with friends and learning from a pro at the same time. If you’re looking to spice up your cooking skills and have a great time, this class with Chef Iain is a perfect choice. Highly recommended for a fun and fulfilling culinary adventure

Chef Iain was a great teacher, knowledgeable and hilarious. It was a pleasure learning alongside him.

Back in late July, for his birthday, my partner and I took a Spanish tapas class with Chef Iain. We loved it. Iain has a great way about him—a dry sense of humor meets excellent and patient instruction meets rather delicious outcomes. Not only did we learn how to make some tasty tapas (for which we also got the recipes and have practiced a time or two), we also came away with some great tips on how to use a few kitchen tools, most notably a couple of must-have kitchen knives of which I knew nothing, as well as reiterating the value of mis en place (having all your ingredients measured, cut, peeled, sliced, grated, etc. before you start) —which I already knew from my own novice experience makes a big difference in outcomes when things are where they need to be—when they need to be there. Iain is very knowledgeable, a great conversationalist, and a talented chef with decades of experience. I found his class to be a great experience for the money. I expect that I'll sign up again in the future. (Not leaving a tip here since I did so in person.)

Chef Iain was amazing! We had a great time and learned a lot. The food was also sooo good. We'd definitely go back to him again.

We had a wonderful time with Chef Iain and learned some delicious recipes.

Chef Lain was knowledgeable; he showed us many cooking techniques, and the food was delicious. Highly recommended!

I booked a class with Chef Iain for a departmental team building event and it was Awesome. The chef invited us into his home and was prepared to lead us through a fun and educational journey. The stations we prepared before our arrival, but we did all the work. It was fun to learn the science and chemistry involved in cooking. The food was delicious and sitting down with your immediate coworkers was nostalgic of pre-pandemic lunches. We had soo much food, great conversations, and fun outside of the office. I recommend this for a friends group, coworkers, and even as date night.

We had such a great time during our class with Chef Iain!! The food was delicious, he was a great teacher, and we walked away having learned helpful tips! We look forward to taking another one of his classes.

Chef lain was hilariously funny and did a fantastic job explaining the steps and things to think about when making our Mediterranean dinner. I'd definitely recommend his class.

Chef Iain did a great job. personable, prepared, and flexible/

Cheff Iain was super amazing. Thank you so much. I enjoyed the cooking and a lot more entertaining than the date I brought. Learning some cooking skills and had some great food. I will definitely be taking his class again.

My girlfriend and I had a great time! Iain is friendly, knowledgeable and a welcoming host/instructor (plus the Mediterranean food we made was excellent). Would definitely take another class with him!

We had a wonderful time cooking with Chef Ian! He was great at explaining everything, breaking down all the steps and making a meal I will definitely cook again. He has a fun personality, and makes the experience a blast!

It was an awesome experience. He is very welcoming and patient. The food was delicious and my wife and I both learned awesome new recipes as well as new skills.

Our cooking class experience with Chef Iain was an absolute delight! From start to finish, he seamlessly blended culinary expertise with a sprinkle of humor, making the entire session both educational and incredibly enjoyable. Chef Iain's infectious enthusiasm for cooking was evident in every dish we prepared, and his witty remarks kept the atmosphere light and lively throughout the class. Not only did we learn valuable cooking techniques and recipes, but we also laughed our way through the experience, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Chef Iain's unique approach to teaching made the class stand out, and we left feeling inspired to recreate the delicious dishes at home. Overall, we highly recommend Chef Iain's cooking class to anyone looking for a fun and informative culinary experience!

Was a great experience with chef Iain. Learned some new techniques and made delicious food. Look forward to booking more classes in the future.

amazing food and experience!! definitely recommended!

Chef Iain was an excellent instructor! He gave us wonderful tips such as proper knife techniques, spraying the spatula with non-stick cooking spray and squeezing out the liquid from the grated zucchini. He adapted the menu to make it lacto-ovo vegetarian and all the tapas were all scrumptious! He even sent us home with leftovers. If you are looking for an amazing experienced chef who will go above and beyond, I would highly recommend Chef Iain!

Great time— Chef Iain was great to talk to and learn from and he was open to all questions! He made the experience very enjoyable and easy on our end and we’d recommend him to anyone at any level!

Fun and we learned a lot.

Had so much fun last weekend with Chef Iain! I learned so many new techniques ie how to cut an onion the RIGHT way, how to keep the cutting board from slipping, and so much more. Chef Iain was welcoming, patient, humorous, and kind. Also, everything in the kitchen was immaculately clean and organized. The food was delicious and there was more than enough of it - were even sent home with the yummy leftovers! I would definitely participate in his other menus. Such a great time.

Excellent instruction with food prep tips I did not even know existed. Iain’s playful ability to blend flavors made the food delicious even when I fumbled on some of the steps.

We had a great cooking class experience with Chef Iain! We highly recommend it. Not only did we learn some cooking tips, but the food was great and plenty of leftovers! The kitchen prep areas were well organized for the 4 of us (we worked in pairs). Thank you Chef Iain for a memorable evening.

Chef Iain was truly wonderful and the dishes we created were delightful. Initially, I was hesitant about the stuffed chicken dish since I'm not a fan of cordon bleu, but Chef Iain's version was a game-changer. It was lighter, perfectly cooked, and definitely something I will be cooking again. The class wasn't just about the delicious soup, chicken, and crepes; the real highlight was learning from Chef Iain. Chef Iain's mastery in cooking and depth of culinary knowledge were apparent throughout the class, and he was happy to educate throughout. His extensive repertoire of proper cooking techniques will significantly improve my cooking skills. He taught us details which can enhance any dish. For example, he explained how different ingredients affect seasoning levels – like using less salt when adding ham and cheese to the chicken (my dish) as opposed to a veggie-focused chicken that needed more salt (my classmate’s). What impressed me the most was Chef Iain's ability to cater to varying skill levels. As a beginner cook, I found the class immensely informative and engaging. My classmate, who is intermediate/advanced, also learned a lot. Both of us are eager to take more classes with Chef Iain, and I recommend you do the same.

My husband (who is a seasoned cook) and I absolutely loved the menu and decided to sign up. We were warmly greeted from his balcony and felt comfortable from the beginning. His knowledge and expertise was impressive …ranging from simple strategies when working with spices to more complex tips (I.e suggesting foods that complement each other). His tomato marmalade is something we are adding to every meal possible! He answered questions with style and grace. A kind chef that made the atmosphere warm and friendly. Thank you chef Iain for making this an evening we will be talking about for a long time!

Chef Lain was a fun and light hearted warm gentleman that made my first date impression a gem to remember! He made us laugh and gave great insight into the teaching of the entree. From how to properly use a knife to which ingredients to use and why. It was an education experience and very unique.

Delicious tapas dishes. We learned a lot and will definitely be making these dishes again!

Great experience! Chef Iain is a great teacher, funny and polite. The food was top-notch!

We absolutely loved our class with Chef Iain! He was so knowledgeable and happy to share any tips and tricks with us, even when they weren't related to what we were cooking at the time. We enjoyed hearing stories about his background as a chef, and the food was delicious. We'll definitely be looking at his other classes!

Chef Iain was absolutely amazing. We cannot recommend this experience with Chef Iain enough. Not only did we have a extremely fun time with delicious food, we also learnt a lot and are excited to put what he taught us into action in the kitchen. He is so knowledgable, organized, and entertaining. Definitely not an experience to miss! Book now!

Loved our class with Chef Iain! We learned a lot of practical tips and he made everything so easy. Definitely plan on revisiting the recipes again.

Chef Iain is a very talented chef and an excellent teacher as well. Although we had a bit of a mix up online, Chef Iain was very accommodating and created a wonderful experience for us given our circumstance. We would 100% recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn some delicious and impressive recipes with a friendly chef.

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Iain. He immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable, and was very knowledgeable. The food turned out wonderful and he helped us a learn a lot. We would definitely book another experience with Chef Iain.

I am was a wonderful host and chef. We had a great time cooking Spanish Tapas and all dishes were absolutely amazing. Learned so many important techniques and will definitely make these recipes for our next Tapas party.

It was a great time, Chef Iain taught us numerous food prep and professional cooking tips during our time. The recipes were fairly easy to remember, simple ingredients yet the finished products were delicious. I’d highly recommend and definitely return.

Me and my girlfriend did this for our 6 month anniversary! It was a really fun and enjoyable educational experience with Chef Iain. He was very hospitable and had a beautiful home. He was really funny a made the experience all the more memorable. My girlfriend loved the class and the Greek dishes we made, we will definitely be making them again. Thanks again to Chef Iain!

Chef Iain was absolutely incredible! Throughout the whole process, Chef Iain was very welcoming, he educated us on new cooking techniques, and held up a great banter. My boyfriend and I had a great time cooking and enjoying our meal. Every part of the Mood Boosting Fare tasted incredible and we're excited to try out the recipes ourselves.

Chef Liam is the real deal. He’s the chef you’re looking for — so kind, patient, and very skilled. We couldn’t believe we actually created the delicious meal we made under his supervision. Highly recommended!

Our class with Chef Iain was amazing! He was extremely attentive and taught us so much about the actual technique of cooking the dishes. The food came out so great, we couldn’t believe we cooked it! Haha. Will definitely be taking another class with Chef Iain.

Ian was the very best, let us into his home and taught us well. The food turned out great and my wife and I feel more confident in the kitchen. We would defiantly recommend to anyone!

Our experience was fantastic and would definitely recommend it. The chef was personable and funny. The intimate nature of the class allowed for questions and discussions on how to use the recipes and ingredients in different ways. Thank you Chef Iain for making our night fun!

Our class was wonderful. We learned so much including basic techniques, the class receipes and the science of cooking. Great time management. We had so much fun and our food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Super friendly, highly knowledgeable and overall lots of fun. Highly recommend!

Chef Iain was very fun and a great teacher. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience. Chef Lain was personable, professional, welcoming and patient. He taught us new things about cooking. And now, I have a go-to when making a dish for potluck parties. We will definitely come back for another class with chef Lain.

Chef Ian was kind and extremely knowledgeable. He made cooking approachable and taught us a lot of fun facts along the way. We did the Mediterranean cooking class and and the food was delicious. I’m excited to have a dish to make for future house guests!

My partner and I loved our experience with Chef Iain! He was very personable and taught us not only cooking techniques but also fun facts about some of the ingredients. Would highly recommend!

This was such an incredibly enjoyable experience. The entire meal was delicious- better than I could have hoped. And Chef Ian was fantastic- super organized and on top of everything. In addition to demonstrating each step, he gave each of us individual attention, providing a lot of very useful, universally applicable guidance- like the the most efficient way to chop an onion, or how to hold and move the knife when doing various cuts. He’s also just a very cool guy- funny, but focused- no wasted time during this action-packed class. My party of four came away from the class very satisfied with the experience and a delicious dinner. Highly recommended!

A wonderful experience and some very neat pointers only a pro can give.

Chef Iain was incredible. He was professional, knowledgeable, funny, and an excellent teacher. There was not a doubt in our minds that he knew what he was talking about, and he was constantly teaching us little tips and tricks, as well as offering alternatives in preparation of the recipes we made. The food was excellent and the space was clean and prepared for us. He was also accommodating with our dietary restrictions (lactose intolerance). I cannot recommend Chef Iain enough!

Fun, understanding, helpful, patient, and some damn good food. Thanks Ian.

Chef Iain was excellent! He was informative about the culture and history of the food, and gave us excellent pointers on shopping for ingredients and using kitchen tools. Oh, and the food tasted amazing too. I will definitely be making some of these things repeatedly at home. Definitely recommend this class or any others he teaches!

We love Chef Iain! Tapas were so fun to make and Chef Iain made it look easy. Delicious meal! Can't wait to bring out our new Tapas skills as hosts.

Had a lovely experience! Learned some great techniques and the dishes were fantastic ??

Terrific food, well explained. Chef was well prepared and willing to compromise on hot spices which my wife doesn't like. Friendly and professional demeanor made the experience well worth it. Because food was plentiful, we were able to have it again for dinner.

Omg we absolutely loved our night with Chef Iain! He was so welcoming, fun and very patient with us. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the entire experience. We will be back!

We had a great time at Chef Iain’s Spanish tapas class. He is really welcoming, patient and knowledgeable and made cooking very fun.

As a first wedding anniversary gift, I booked Chef Iain to teach us to make Mediterranean Comfort Food. To be honest, I didn't really know what to expect. As an introvert, going into such a private setting like this felt extremely intimidating. However, previous reviews about Chef Iain being warm and inviting convinced me that he's the perfect pick. Chef Iain is wonderful, informative, and experienced. He welcomed us into his home and made us comfortable right away. Recipes are easy to find but the insights he shared with us about technique, ingredient use and quality, and substitute options are truly valuable. It made us feel more confident in experimenting beyond the recipe. We genuinely enjoyed the experience and Chef Iain's company. Can't wait to show off our new dishes to the rest of the family as an advertisement for Chef Iain's classes!

Took my mom for a bday gift and it was a hit. Lot of fun and learned tons.

Chef Iain is a wonderful, knowledgeable chef with a great sense of humor and approach to teaching! He taught us how to create delicious Spanish tapas that were realistic for us to recreate in our own home. The class was full of tips to meet us at our skill level, and the food was phenomenal. We would definitely come back for another class and bring our friends!

Our class with Iain was a 10/10 experience! This was our first time using Cozymeal and we had no idea what to expect. Iain came over to our house with all the equipment and ingredients needed to make our meal and walked us step by step through each dish. He gave us tons of great cooking tips and was extremely personable. From the zucchini fritters to the spinach and sweet potato frittata, every bite of food was to die for. We were pleasantly surprised with how healthy all the ingredients were as well and yet they still maintained such incredible flavor! We cannot wait to do another class with Iain!

What a wonderful experience we had today with Chef Iain! He was delightful and had beautifully planned our time to maximize both the cooking and the enjoyment of what we had prepared. As a lifelong amateur cook, it was fantastic to learn some helpful techniques for everyday cooking from a seasoned professional. I can't say enough good things about our class, and I look forward to scheduling another class in the future.

Chef Iain was a great host and teacher! We cooked a delicious meal and learned a lot. Will definitely give the recipes another shot!

Chef Iain was FANTASTIC!! He was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Our three course mediterranean meal was amazing and we’re so looking forward to cooking it at home!

We had a fantastic time with Chef Iain! We were also lucky to take the class alongside some friendly New Yorkers. We would do this again in a heartbeat! Iain was very kind, patient, and entertaining.

What an excellent experience! Not only is chef Iain an incredible teacher, but his recipes are delicious and his hosting style warm. We left with an experience I wish I could bottle and preserve. Would highly recommend!

I purchased a class, with Chef Iain, for my wife's birthday. We took our 12 year old daughter and had a great time. Chef Lain explained the proper way to cut, peel, and mix, the order of food preparation and adding ingredients, how to tell when the pan is the proper temperature, and how to tell exactly when the food is cooked. We picked up so many tips that we can use in our everyday meals. Even our 12 year old got into the action flipping crepes. This class exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely book with Chef Iain again.

Chef Iain was wonderful! Explained knife skills, other cooking techniques very well and accommodated my gluten free needs perfectly. Highly recommend class with him!

Had a wonderful time learning to cook stuffed mushrooms, moussaka and lemon panna cotta. Chef Iain was very friendly and kept us entertained while cracking jokes. He taught us many technics throughout the cooking prossess and went into details about underlying chemical processes that make a both presentable and delicious. Would definitely take a class with him again!

Chef Iain was amazing. Learned to cook delicious dishes while having a good time!!

Iain was a great teacher and the meal was delicious! Highly recommend learning with Iain as he provided helpful tips and technique and cooking philosophy. We will definitely use these recipes in the future!

Chef Iain was friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a great time cooking delicious food and meeting new people. The menu and timing of all was perfect, we prepared a few tapas then we sat to eat for a little break then cooked a little more and enjoyed the food. He was very creative to adjust the menu to fit our vegetarian diet and everything was delicious. It was also fun to get to know the other guests.

This was a very nice experience for my husband and me. The tapas were not only tasty but they were things we could easily replicate at home. Chef Iain was welcoming into his home and gave helpful tips throughout our time together.

Chef Ian was a great host. The food was delicious, and he was great at explaining the methods and purpose behind each technique and dish. Highly recommend taking one of his courses!

Iain was great and the Mediterranean Comfort Food was so tasty! We learned some good tips for the kitchen and the conversation was great.

This was a wonderful culinary experience, led by the humble and humorous Chef Iain, who made the entirety of the cooking experience easy and exciting. I took my girlfriend for her 30th birthday, and she had a blast. We learned how to cook a delicious ginger and carrot soup, savory stuffed chicken, and sweet crepes. One of my favorite parts was when chef Iain showed my girlfriend and I how to flip the crepes in the pan. It was just like you see people flip things in cooking shows. This was a great alternative to a typical night out for dinner together. I would highly recommend for couples to try! We were grateful to be taught some great new kitchen skills while getting to create a beautiful 3 course dinner to enjoy as well. Chef Iain was very personable and a really good teacher. I always make dry chicken, but the was the first time my chicken was succulent. Thank you Chef Iain.

Very nice class. It was detailed, very professional, and clean. Loved Chef Iain. Great sense of humor and you can see he is very experienced. Learned a lot :)

Wonderful class. Iain was such a gentleman and very helpful and instructive with each course. He also answered more general questions about cooking. His home was warm and inviting.

Chef Iain was amazing! We had a party of 5, and Chef Iain was so great - he'd gotten Impossible meat for one of the dishes to accomodate for a guest who was vegetarian, taught us lots of new techniques and explained the principles behind them, and we all had a delicious meal together. Highly recommend this experience!

Was a great experience and we learned a lot of awesome tips to help us with our home cooking! Thanks for inviting us into your home and giving us a great time!

What a great guy and passionate chef. The sweetest soul. He taught us many things in such a short space of time. I/we thoroughly enjoyed EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of our time. I cannot say enough good things about that evening...I could have gladly waited til the next class.

Chef Ian is great! This was by far my favorite cooking class experience. Chef Ian does a great job explaining everything and is very personable. A lot of what we made I will try and make at home!

This was really fun! The tapas were all delicious. The focus was more on technique than on recipes, with an element of creativity for the student as well as the teacher. I feel I learned some valuable things that I can't wait try at home. Will hopefully do this again. Great class!

A fun, informative, and delicious learning experience! Chef Iain guided us through all of the little things along the way, showing us how to be more efficient and making everything much easier. He also made sure to explain the reasoning behind every method and what would happen if we deviate one way or another. We'll be booking another class in the future.

Chef Iain is super knowledgable and catered to our liking and tastes. My partner and I enjoyed the food we made and conversations we had with him. I would recommend booking in a group of 4 or more for a longer experience! Ours lasted about two hours!

Best time ever for a couples date! Chef Iain is very hands on and shows great techniques as well as showing how to build great flavors. All of the food we made was delicious and had us eating things we normally wouldn’t eat. This experience was one for the books!

We loved our class with Chef Iain! He customized the recipes to incorporate our preferences (e.g., add a kick!) and taught us helpful tips for when we make these recipes at home. He also made all of the recipes feel very accessible - Can't wait to make moussaka at home!

Chef Iain is awesome. He's clearly super passionate about what he does, and he's exceptionally talented. He was helpful in describing each dish, how to make it, why the ingredients work, and how to present it aesthetically. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience!

Coming into this experience with a beginner cooking level, but interest in food I was nervous as to tackling the complicated dishes on the menu. Chef Iain was such a good teacher and the food was absolutely delicious. We thoroughly loved the experience and are already planning to make the dishes more often. 10/10 would recommend

Great person. great food, great teaching

This is the first time I've ever participated this kind of cooking experience. I was nervous about my skill level and, of course, the unknown. Chef Iain was so welcoming and knowledgeable without being pretentious. His tips and his demeanor were very interesting and understandable. And OMG the food we created together was delicious! What a beautiful way to spend myself and my husband's Valentines Day weekend. Such an enjoyable experience. Totally eating the leftovers for dinner!

We had a real fun time with Chef Iain, as well as a delicious lunch. Thank you so much for all the tips, and for a super lovely afternoon. My wife and I really enjoyed it.

Thank you, Chef Iain, for an amazing evening. My mom, sister, and I, thank you for the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful meal that you helped us prepare, for your hospitality, and tricks in the kitchen. For someone who does not enjoy cooking, you made the experience a lot of fun. Thank you so much. You are absolutely lovely!

Chef Iain was great! We learned a lot in a short period of time and the food was excellent. Thanks!!

Chef Iain created a fun atmosphere to explore the fundamentals of making tasty food. He is very friendly and his openness allowed us to ask many questions (about things that weren't even related to the specific food we were making). If you want to have a fun time cooking with a professional, eating fantastic food, and learning priceless tips in the kitchen, then look no further: Chef Iain is your person. Highly recommend the experience.

We loved the menu. The selections were both interesting and delicious. He even worked hard to accommodate our preferences into the preparation with an ingredient substitution on the fly. Chef Iain had everything ready when we arrived. His use of time was efficient but not rushed.

Iain was a terrific host and teacher…and we came home with leftovers. We’re relatively inexperienced cooks but he stuck with us, showing, explaining and sharing. Highly recommended!

Chef Iain created a really wonderful experience for my friend and I. He taught us some really great cooking techniques and made me feel less intimidated about being in a kitchen! I loved the 1:1 attention and hands on experience which is unlike any other cooking class we've done before. The meal was amazing! I'll definitely be trying out what we made on my own.

You'll have a great time.

Wonderful experience! Learned some awesome new techniques for prep in the kitchen, and the meal was delicious. Chef Iain made it fun and engaging, 100% recommend!

Chef Lain was fantastic. Good energy and a lot of fun. We walked us through the meal prep, injected some humor, and produced an amazing, yummy meal! I highly, highly recommend him!

Iain was wonderful to cook with. He taught my Mom and I plenty of tips and tricks that only someone as experienced as he is would know. Incredibly knowledgeable and would recommend him to anyone!

Chef Iain was amazing! So personable, friendly and informative. I’ve already made the bacon wrapped dates for a dinner party and they were a hit. We thoroughly enjoyed our lesson and would 100% recommend.

Chef Iaian was wonderful at our private in-home cooking lesson! We had so much fun, learned a ton about cooking, and the meal was fabulous. Thank you, Chef Iain!!

Was a great experience! Came here for a date and we both loved it. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family!

Chef Iain was great! Made adjustments for my husband who had dietary restrictions. helped us with the cooking and cleaning so we could be quick and actually eat sitting down. Note the course is in his home, which has an older kitchen and rather tight space.

Chef Iain was fun and friendly! He created a warm experience that made us feel comfortable cooking. And the food was filling and delicious. We were allowed to bring our own wine as well!!

Chef Iain is knowledgeable, friendly, and hilarious. Made a first date super fun and we will always remember what a good time we had. Food was dank, I feel like I now know how to cook better, and I left with a big smile on my face. I’m grateful for the time we shared. Thanks, Chef Iain!

Chef Iain exceeded all expectations with an exceptional night of cooking, learning, laughing, and dining! I cannot recommend him highly enough. Great for a date night, a night out with friends or family members, or even a fun experience to go alone and learn from one of the best private chefs in southern California.

Everything was amazing, the food delicious and Chef Ian wonderful, I highly recommend this experience for everyone!

I had the honor to meet and share an evening of laughs, learning, and great food with Chef Iain last Friday night. I enjoy cooking and learning new techniques, so being in the Chef’s own kitchen, watching how he takes the same ingredients I use and turn them into delicious meals, while also being able to get my hands dirty and cook myself, it was the best of both worlds. Chef Iain is welcoming and has a great sense of humor. We were laughing all night between the delicious courses of homemade tapas. If you are looking for a better option than just a night out for dinner, contact Chef Iain for a unique and intimate dining experience.

Chef Iain was wonderful and the food fantastic. We even had leftovers to bring home. Learned some cooking tips too. A great experience for couples or small groups. Come hungry!

We had a great time with Chef Iain! He brought everything we needed to our kitchen and helped us make a stellar tapas dinner! We even had plenty of leftovers for the next day. He did a great job helping us feel more comfortable with eyeballing ingredients and practicing cooking with the ingredients you have to make a delicious meal. Would recommend!

Very educational and fun! Chef was interactive and provided great tips. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Iain!

Chef Iain was AMAZING and the food was absolutely delicious! The entire party had a blast learning some great techniques, laughing with Iain and eating great food! We all left the experience wanting more and can't wait to cook again with Chef Iain!!

We had a wonderful evening at Chef Iain’s house. We were a group of girlfriends getting together for the first time since... the whole pandemic nightmare started. So, we were probably too chatty and all over the place from the excitement of the meeting, haha!, but surprisingly, days after the event we kept sending each other pictures of the dishes that we cooked with Chef Iain and that we all repeated at home! So, turns out, not only we paid attention, but the dishes were so good that we wanted to replicate them for our loved ones at home! Chef’s personality is larger than life! He is not only full of pro tips and useful hacks, but also has a great sense of humor and made us laugh all evening. I am so happy we found this website and their great classes at a time when it seemed like life came to a complete standstill. Thank you, Chef Iain, for giving us such a great experience and making us all feel “normal” again! Highly recommend for a tight group of 6-8 friends. Make it “private“ and enjoy Chef Iain’s undivided attention!

Chef Iain was a delight. We were 5 woman celebrating a birthday. We had the 5 course tapas meal. Everything was delicious and recipes we can definitely make at home. You can participate as much or as little as you want in the prep and cooking. Iain gave us several cooking tips that we will use again. We all want to do it again. Thanks for a fantastic evening.

Great meal and very entertaining and talented chef ! Thanks Chef Ian for a memorable evening!

Ian was amazing. We learned a lot of helpful cooking tips . And the meal was fabulous. I will be trying the recipes that were introduced.

Chef Iain was great! He was full of great cooking tips and techniques and the meal was delicious. He also was flexible in timing as we needed to start a little early. Highly recommend Chef Iain.Cheers!

Working with Chef Ian was great! He is very patient and good at explaining things for those of us who don’t really use the kitchen. We had a great time and will cook with him again!

Great experience!! Great learning. Great food. And great conversation.

Chef Iain was fantastic! He was so welcoming. The food was delicious, and we loved the class!

Chef Iain was a fun and extremely knowledgeable guide in the kitchen. Together we made some of the best food I've ever had on a Cozymeal experience. Would definitely do it again!

Chef Iain's flatbreads were awesome! I Very cool to see it being made in a skillet and really delicious and interesting toppings!
