Chef Jar was personable and made the class fun. His choice of music was impressive. Great knife skills, talked about cooking methods and why and how he was doing things as he went along. Food was delicious, I feel that we can reproduce the meal after the instruction we received.

I surprised my wife for her birthday/10 yr anniversary. I don’t know how I’m going to top this in the years to come! This experience was simply exceptional. We signed up for the Asian cuisine class and the food was high class along with the lesson. There’s no doubt Chef Jar has a passion for food and cooking, but he also has the heart of a teacher. He answered all our questions (related or unrelated) and was great company. By the time we finished the class we had learned several new techniques and different ways to enhance our cooking at home. Thanks Chef Jar!

Chef Jar was amazing! We had so much fun. He was entertaining and the food was delicious! We learned techniques that we were intimidated to try like making tortillas and churros. He explained everything and made it seem so easy. He took his time with us and made the evening very special!

Our daughter gave us a cozymeal gift card for Christmas. We expected this to be a fun new experience, but our cooking lesson with Jar was beyond wonderful! Jar is not only an accomplished chef, but also an excellent conversationalist and host. We felt immediately comfortable in his spotless kitchen while he taught us some great tricks and prepared delicious French cuisine. It was delightful to hear about his chef journey, growing up in Omaha, and how he came to be so passionate about cooking. This was amazing, and we hope to cook with Jar again soon!

Upon entering Chef Jar's home for the Dazzling Asian class, we were immediately greeted with incredible hospitality. Chef Jar does a great job explaining how to achieve balance in flavors and presented so in execution of each course. Chef Jar not only strikes a perfect balance of flavors, but in education and entertainment creating a fun learning environment. This is a date night we will not soon forget and we are so looking forward to more experiences alike. Chef Jar is going places and we are so proud to be a part of his journey!
