Chef Greg

Fantastic Cooking Class – Highly Recommend! I recently attended Greg’s cooking class, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Greg was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about cooking, making the learning process both fun and informative. The class was well-organized, with clear instructions and hands-on practice, ensuring everyone had a chance to participate. The recipes we learned were delicious and easy to replicate at home, and I walked away feeling more I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their culinary skills, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook.

Greg is very nice, we have a good experience, we enjoy a lot. 100% recommended

We had such a great time with Greg! Great conversation and the food was outstanding. We had a blast and learned a lot watching Greg work the kitchen!

Greg was great, accommodated our family’s dietary restrictions and adapted to our learning style and preferences. Food was delicious!

Chef Greg was great. Very personable and friendly. He was very informative on the recipes and how to cook each dish. Food was delicious all in all great time!

Greg is very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. Class was amazing and learned a bunch of things. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn the 5 mother sauces!

Chef Greg provided an outstanding experience for my girlfriend and me. We started off with a course of mussels, which were exquisitely spicy, followed by some zesty and pleasantly textured shrimp scampi, and finally a savory chicken breast fiorentina style. Aside from the food, Chef Greg is a warm person to be around, entertained us with interesting conversations, and made the evening a very much relaxing one. We ended up satisfied with the explosion of flavors and the meal size. Lovely experience.

We (my boyfriend as well) met Greg and from the start a very friendly man. It took him very little time to get set up and start the meal. He interluded during his cooking time about some fascinating stories that made for a very entertaining evening. He started us off with some mussles, level of spice and flavor was to die for. Since we didn't ask for dessert, he gave us a shrimp scampi alternative. The taste was simply amazing. It was zesty, crunchy, and buttery at the same time. It was followed by a chicken fiorentina, which had a similar sauce as the scampi but with the addition of the prosciutto and the fontana cheese. A flavor profile that was so amazingly confusing that left us wondering which dish was better, and mind you that all of the dishes were top notch. To end the course, we had some fruit and mozzarella. Very delightful way to wind down the palate. Chef Greg made a simple experience remarkable.

Chef Greg was awesome! He made us an incredible meal and was very thorough, explaining the whole process for each course. He also cleaned everything and was very personable. We would absolutely book him again and will be recommending him to friends!

We were a group of 8 friends and had the best time! Chef Greg was so entertaining, knowledgeable, funny, and courteous! We are looking forward to more events with him!

Was a fun and informative class. We loved our evening with Chef Greg!

GREG IS AMAZING! I have taken cooking classes over the years in NYC and our experience with Greg by far was the best ! Greg came for our cooking class - in my son's college house which looked and was equipped as you may think:) He read the room/told all we could participate/watch or not-it was our night. He taught as he cooked-telling stories-keeping all entertained. We all learned so much-each taking away different tips/concepts depending on our existing skill set. The food was delicious, the recipes absolutely manageable and Greg threw in tips on things to add that ended up giving us 4 different sauce options out of the original tomato sauce. The fact did not go unnoticed that the wonderful gourmet meal we ate came out of the boys kitchen-using their minimal cooking equipment on an old electric stove!! The dishwasher broke the week before yet nothing phases Greg and he left the kitchen cleaner (much) than when he arrived. Overall educational, delicious and fun, fun, fun!

He was amazing! Me and a few of my girl friends had him cook for us tonight and he was incredible. Very professional and the food was excellent, definitely would recommend him!

My husband and I had the best date night provided by Chef Greg! He was easy to work with, experienced, entertaining, but most importantly..each and every course was absolutely delicious. Thank you Chef Greg for a wonderful evening!

I was very excited about this cooking class after reading numerous positive reviews but regrettably, my experience with Chef Greg fell far short of my expectations. Initially, there were issues of professionalism: Chef Greg notified me the morning of our scheduled class to that he mixed up the date of our session and had committed to another engagement, indicating a potential delay. While he ultimately arrived punctually, his communication around the matter lacked tact. Moreover, our session fell short of the promised agenda as we only prepared three out of the four listed menu items. The preparation of Chicken Pizzaiola, a highlighted dish, was omitted entirely, and we were instead left with a package of raw chicken in the refrigerator along with a pot of red sauce prepared by Chef Greg. Additionally, photos of the class suggested that we would be preparing hand made pasta, but we used a store bought package of pasta instead. Furthermore, the nature of the session deviated significantly from the interactive cooking class experienced we anticipated. Instead, it resembled more of a private chef service, with minimal engagement in the process.

Hired Chef Greg for my wife's birthday to come to our home to bring his culinary delights for just the two of us. Chef Greg was FANTASTIC!. His food was awesome and you could tell how much he loves the kitchen and cooking for others. Great personality - we all talked all night. Very respectful of our home and cleaned up everything!!! Will absolutely hire him again. Thanks Greg!!

Highly recommend

Amazing food amazing sauces!

Great personality and the food was beyond delicious. Thank you.

Absolutely worth it. Chef Greg was so awesome. Great lessons, great food, and great company. Will definitely be booking again.

Outstanding service! Our personal chef, Greg, delivers delicious culinary creations tailored to our tastes. Every dish was a delight, showcasing his skill and passion for food. From start to finish, Greg exceeds expectations, we can’t wait to book our next unforgettable meal with him again!

Spectacular experience! Not only was our meal absolutely delicious, Chef Greg was incredibly informative and taught my sisters and I so many unique techniques and helpful cooking skills we will forever apply to our future meals. Greg is very skilled and great company, Can't wait to cook with him again!

What a great night with Chef Greg! My only regret is that I didn't have two mouths. The food was so delicious. Thank you Chef for a memorable and wonderful evening.

Greg was an absolute delight! He prepared a delicious meal that was perfect for our dad’s birthday celebration. He was great with the kids, kind to all of the guests, and easy to talk to throughout the night. We were so happy we went with Chef Greg!

Excellent! Wonderful food, excellent instruction, and Chef Greg was friendly and delightful. I will definitely call on him again!

Chef Greg provided an amazing experience for my Uncle and I. He was more than respectful, informative, has a great sense of humor and a true talent of the culinary arts. I would recommend Chef Greg to anyone looking for this kind of experience and can’t wait to do this again! Thank again Chef Greg

Chef Greg was amazing! Not only was he super friendly and punctual, but his 4-course refined seasonal Italian meal was to die for. I have never done this before, and now that I have, it won't be the last. It was amazing watching him cook and in my own kitchen without me having to lift a finger. All the meals came out on time, were beautifully plated and tasted superb. Best part, he did all the cleanup afterwards and even gave our new puppy some attention so that we can enjoy his birthday dinner.

The food was delicious and Greg was incredibly personable, friendly and talented - he really knows his stuff and is not only a great chef but also a great teacher! Highly recommended!

Great experience with Chef Greg. We helped a little and learned a few new things on a terrific evening. The food was simple and yet tasty, with the best of every ingredient brought out. Best part will be day two on the sauce that was made. Chef Greg explained what he was doing every step of the way and why it was important. Bonus was that he cleaned / tidied as we ate! Chef Greg was a great choice for our palates and the experience that we wanted to have.

My wife and I found our Chef! Greg cooked us a very delicious meal (Familiar American Favorites) and taught us a few tricks along the way. He's very smart, funny and interesting, so listen when he speaks. He's like a cool uncle. He was very professional and you can hear and see that he's a decent guy. We can't wait to have him back over!

We had such a great night learning from Greg and enjoying an amazing 4 course Italian meal!! My mom absolutely loved this surprise birthday gift.

Chef Greg was awesome. Delicious food, learned a lot about not just the sauces but cooking in general, and was just generally a fun dude to talk to. Was also very respectful of the space, and cleaned as he cooked. Thanks Greg!

Chef Greg came to our home and cooked up some delicious food while teaching us some great new cooking skills especially regarding heat! He was also kind enough to modify the menu for pescatarians while still educating us about the traditional Mother Sauces. The class was very informative and the food delicious-- we have so many leftovers! It was very impressive how quickly he whipped up so many dishes especially since nothing was prepped ahead of time-- this was awesome because it proved how possible it is to cook like this on your own. We appreciated that Greg was willing to suit the class to what we were looking for-- information versus just tasting delicious food-- it's really what you decide to make of it. He's a social chameleon and has some great stories about life outside the kitchen!

Great host and chef!

Fun guy with great knowledge, learnt a lot from him, we cooked enough food to feed me for a week

Excellent experience. Chef Greg was knowledgeable, and suggested a different course for us than the sauces one in advance (since we are pescatarian). The course incorporated seafood and 3 of the 5 mother sauces, and he taught us about it throughout. It was less of a "class", and more of a tasting and showing experience, although we could've cooked more if we wanted to. He cleaned as he went, was respectful of our home, and only required use of our dishes (he brought utensils to prep the food with, aside from pots and pans). Overall, it was a great experience for a special evening for my wife and I, and we would highly recommend Chef Greg.

We took the chilled bites class for my sisters birthday and had a great time! Greg was willing to drive to Anaheim and was flexible with the start time. It was so much fun! Thanks Greg!

Wow, what a great experience! Greg was punctual, professional, and great company. We enjoyed watching him work and following along to learn his methods. The food was delicious -- especially the shrimp scampi. We also enjoyed hearing about his life and travels. This was everything we could have asked for in an evening. Would definitely book again/recommend to friends.

We had a great time with Chef Greg! He came to our apartment and taught us about the five mother sauces. The food we prepared with the sauces was delicious! The best food we’ve ever had. We loved the experience and are looking forward to booking a future class with Greg!

Greg came over to cook for my husband's birthday. He was professional & punctual, and the food was delicious! We really enjoyed our evening with him and would recommend his services as a private chef.

Great class! Greg helped us to prepare a delicious meal, and he was friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to small and large groups of any age!

We had a great experience with Chef Greg. The menu was very robust and each course was delicious. We were full by the end of the dinner! We didn't know what to expect since this was our first time. The process is: The Chef cooks and he explains his cooking process and provides tips and techniques along the way. We asked questions and he was great at sharing his knowledge. (This isn't one of those "hand-on" learning by "doing" classes -- but you get to watch the chef work and learn by observing -- which was just as great!). After each course was prepared, we ate, fresh off the heat, and talked about the dish, prior to moving on to the next course. It was interesting to watch a real chef work, close up. Greg was kind and was great at handling our dog too, even though he kept interrupting and begging for food. We very much enjoyed the experience and learned plenty. And, did I mention, the food was delicious? Great class. Thank you Chef Greg!

Chef Greg surpassed our expectations! He is very knowledgeable, personable, and makes delicious food. We had wanted more of a cooking lesson, but I accidentally booked a private chef experience. We chatted with him quite a bit before the event to communicate our hope to have it be interactive and educational and I could tell he put a lot of thought into modifying the menu and experience to meet and surpass our expectations. I learned a lot from him, ate a ton of delicious food, and would absolutely do something like this again.

I wanted to thank you for the cooking class at our home last week. My girlfriend and I really appreciated your tips and we think we learnt a few good techniques. However, I felt that the experience could have been improved but didn't feel comfortable sharing the feedback with you during the class: You were very friendly, arrived on time and shared with us some good tips. However, overall, the experience was poor: The cooking classes was not hands-on at all. You called it a "tasting" but we had paid for a hands-on cooking class. You didn't use any fish or beef or chicken broth but rather bouillon cubes. The seafood chowder got really salty. You had the seafood for the seafood chowder in a plastic bag rather than in a proper container. Overall, we felt the ingredients were low-quality (lack of proper fish broth or beef broth). I would have been happy to pay an extra $20/person to have better ingredients. I really hope you don't take the feedback the wrong way and can improve the class for future customers. You are a great chef and I think guests would really appreciate better classes.

My boyfriend and I had a fabulous time learning and cooking with Chef Greg! This was a Valentine's Day treat and I would be interested in other classes run by Chef Greg!

We had a great experience with Chef Greg. The food was great as was the conversation. We learned a lot of useful tips. The chicken marsala was the best I've ever had.

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Greg. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of cooking tricks we never knew. On top of it all, the food was delicious! We would definitely recommend this class to others.

We gave a cash tip:)

Chef Greg was phenomenal! Every dish was excellently prepared, he gave us tons of great tips on how to cook the dishes, he was very personable and easy to talk to. We were a little nervous about having someone come into our own kitchen to prepare the meal but it wasn’t an issue at all. He did a great job, we have tons of leftovers, and we would highly recommend him to anyone considering one of his classes!

We had an amazing experience with Chef Greg! He brought all the necessary ingredients/supplies and also helped with the cleanup, making the whole experience hassle-free. Greg himself was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and we loved hearing about his interesting life story. The food was delicious and we learned a ton. Highly recommend!

Greg over exceeded our expectations! He was knowledgeable, personable and made some delicious meals that we will definitely be repeating! We learned a lot of great tips and had some great conversation. He even did the dishes for us after each meal! Would definitely recommend him for a date night or group cooking class!

Chef Greg is a true renaissance man! On top of an incredible four course meal, he regaled us with stories of his incredible life and travels. We sat around and laughed all while talking life, music, travel and of course food! The food was incredible and he talked us through every step of the process. We learned new techniques, terminologies, and approaches to cooking easy and delicious dishes. I would absolutely recommend chef Greg to anyone who wants an incredible meal and a fun and memorable experience to boot! I will definitely be doing this again!

Chef Greg was great and the food was amazing. We will definitely be taking another class. We learned so much!! He is very knowledgeable in food science and provided great tips and tricks for cooking. I 100% recommend Chef Greg’s courses as he is a great teacher.

We had a great time with Greg! And the food was great, too. (My teenagers are still talking about it)! At the same time, we learned some valuable cooking tips. I highly recommend Greg and this class as a fun activity with food-loving teenagers and adults.

This was a great experience!! Fun conversations with Chef Greg and the food was Delicious! His sauces to die for!! We look forward to the next experience with Chef Greg ?

I wish I could give zero. Very unprofessional! This guy almost ruined my birthday. He was forcing me to pay extra for groceries , etc. He was blaming the cozymeal. He just left when I said that he is not honest! Just left((

Chef Greg was fantastic. he was extremely patient, professional, and helped us with some very cool tricks to enhance our cooking. I would highly recommend anyone that is booking on Cozymeal to work with him. also, the food was AMAZING

Greg showed up on time and we got to speak a few times before he got here about kitchen equipment and prep. He has enormous experience and we actually did all 5 Mother sauces Plus variations! This class is for people who want to learn how to cook- not for someone to teach you a recipe. You can follow that from a page. This is skill- wish I had done it in my 20's. Plus the skill set is so important we may all do the class one more time. For example we made the Hollandaise and in a separate pan had a reduction to alter it to béarnaise! If I only had berry's we would have made Sabayon! We did the béchamel and turned it into a few items and from the Volute we made marsala and Française. All along Greg told us short cuts and fixes. Our last sauce was the tomato and it was really good. Not like the Italian family style we have always made so for sure a useful skill. If you really like to cook and want true skills this is your class! Fantastic!

Greg was a godsend to me. I had no idea regarding his capabilities until he cooked his first meal for me and my family. I've employed private chefs and caterers before but none of them compare with Greg's ability to cook a diversified array of flavorful menu items. Bravo Greg!!

Chef Greg is a professional head chef and consultant for over 25 years. He was trained in Dublin and has worked in multiple prestigious culinary establishments over his career. He has so much experience and skill to share with his guests.
