Booked the class Classic Pasta for Kids with Chef Jordan W. in Julian

We booked Chef Jordan's cooking class for Father's Day and it turned into one of our favorite family memories. From the moment we arrived at his house, the whole experience felt warm and welcoming, and the kids were hooked on the activity right away. We honestly had more fun than we ever imagined. What really got me was watching my picky eater. She is usually hesitant to try anything new, but she was excited and happy to taste every dish we made. Chef Jordan has such a great way with kids, patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about cooking. Since the class, my kids have been showing real interest in cooking, asking to help in the kitchen, and talking about what we made that day. We will be cheering to this memory for years to come. Highly recommend Chef Jordan for any family looking for a fun, hands-on experience that might just spark a new love of cooking.

Booked the class Outdoor Farm-to-Table Feast with Chef Jordan W. in Escondido

What an incredible experience! Chef Jordan gave us far more than a meal, he gave us an education and a memory we'll be talking about for a long time. His knowledge of food as medicine was fascinating, and his calm, welcoming demeanor made the entire experience feel approachable and fun. The food itself was absolutely epic, but what really made the day special was everything we learned along the way. From proper knife skills to new ways to cut and prepare fruits and vegetables, Jordan shared techniques that will change how we cook at home. He even managed to convince our palates that not all peppers are created equal! Today was fun, unique, delicious, and exactly what we were hoping for as an anniversary cooking experience. Thank you, Jordan, for your generosity, your expertise, and for creating such a memorable day. We can't wait to cook with you again!

My best friend gifted me this experience for my birthday and we had a fantastic night learning and enjoying a delicious menu with Chef Jordan. I would definitely recommend.

Booked the menu Land and Sea Menu with Chef Jordan W. in Coral Gables

We booked Chef Jordan for New Year’s Eve during our family trip to San Diego, and he was phenomenal. He was responsive, flexible, and just a pleasure overall. With two toddlers and early bedtimes, this was the perfect way to celebrate. We got a true five-star dining experience right at our Airbnb while the kids slept and the adults enjoyed. The food was absolutely delicious (and the leftovers were just as good the next day!). 12/10 — highly recommend him.

Booked the menu Elevated Thanksgiving Classics with Chef Jordan W. in La Jolla

Chef Jordan cooked our Thanksgiving dinner for 12 people, and we truly couldn’t be happier. Every dish was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully executed. Beyond the food, Chef Jordan was incredibly kind, professional, and a joy to have in our home. He made the entire experience feel effortless and special. We will definitely be hiring Chef Jordan again for future events, what a rockstar!

Booked the class Cooking With Mushrooms with Chef Jordan W. in Julian

I attended this class with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and have nothing but positive remarks. He adjusted the recipes to our restrictions/preferences (I'm gluten-free and vegetarian). He communicated about each step, gave us tips on knife skills (etc.), and connected with us. We also really enjoyed sitting down and sharing a meal with Chef Jordan and his partner. Thanks for a great class and for welcoming us. If you're debating whether or not this class will be worth it, debate no longer. Also, the food was impeccable.

We had such a lovely experience with Chef Jordon on Thanksgiving for his Indian cooking class. We learned great techniques and information on all the ingredients! Plus, every dish was so flavorful and delicious! And his home overlooking the lake is serene. He went above and beyond to make our holiday memorable. We had so much fun this is going to be our new Thanksgiving tradition!

Booked the class The Art of Ancestral Cooking with Chef Jordan W. in Julian

Our experience with Chef Jordan was a perfect blend of a fine culinary session and back yard bbq. We kicked things off with a special cacao opener. We learned useful prep techniques, enjoyed 3 courses of organic and responsibly sourced food, garden fresh herbs, and specially made sauces. We enjoyed steak frites with a lakeside sunset view and finished with a wonderous dessert with surprising ingredients. It was an evening full of music, clean upper scale food, useful information, great conversation, and generous left overs. Truly elevating!

Such a fun class for our group of four. Chef Jordan was able to accommodate allergies in our group and modify the menu. Great ingredients. Perfect ratio of "work" and learning to socializing with our friends.

This was truly an amazing experience. My partner and I were lucky enough to have Jordan all to ourselves for our cooking class. We used all fresh ingredients and he showed us how easy it was to make a healthy flavorful meal. His welcoming attitude made us feel like we were right at home making our fresh pasta. The class experience was educational but most of all so much fun. We really enjoyed our time and look forward to learning other cuisines from Jordan

Our experience with Chef Jordan was amazing! From the food to the ambiance he has created an environment where you instantly feel at home and become inspired to get back in the kitchen. The food (grilling class) was so delicious and a great way to bond with family and friends as you prepare the courses together. We booked the class as a Christmas gift to each other and will definitely do it again in the future! You won’t be disappointed :)

Jeff P. December, 2021

Booked the menu California and Mexican Fusion with Chef Jordan W.

Jordan put together an incredible experience! In addition to cooking a meal I would be hard-pressed to find in the best restaurants in San Diego, he showcased his knowledge of the ingredients and friendly personality to make it a fantastic night. I would definitely work with him again!

Sima K. November, 2021

We had such a great time! Chef Jordan was amazing. He was so patient and engaged everyone. He answered all our questions and was very skilled at herding the cats and keeping us on track, all while teaching us how to make delicious food. I highly recommend Chef Jordan and Cozymeal for your next event with a team or friends.

Me and my girlfriend celebrated our anniversary with Chef Jordan! It was a super fun experience! His home was clean and cozy, and he really made us feel more comfortable in the kitchen! We had basically no experience with cooking and we really got the opportunity to learn more! He was professional and kind, and the food was healthy, fresh and amazing! We even got to take the extra food home and it kept us fed for almost a week! Chef Jordan was also more than helpful when it came to directions and helping me find a place to stay in the area. I would highly recommend him and this course! He himself was plant-based as well, so it was really nice to connect with a plant-based chef!

My husband and I received the pasta making class with Jason as a gift for our wedding anniversary. It was such an amazing experience! We not only learned how to make pasta, but he taught us many other useful “kitchen tricks.” Jason was very accommodating of food restrictions and dietary needs. It was a perfect weekend away from San Diego in scenic Julian. A must do! Fun date night! Thanks Jason! We highly recommend him. Book it!

Chef Jordan arrived right on time and with a little extra--he made a lovely fruit platter for us. We helped a bit but it was really fun to have someone cook our meal for us. The food was yummy and he was knowledgeable and friendly. A good time was had by all!

My husband and I went to Chef Jordan's house last night and we had such a great time! His place is right near Lake Cuyamaca and it was beautiful. We live in San Diego but made a day trip to Julian for this. Chef Jordan was very thorough in explaining how to make each dish, and everything we made was absolutely delicious!! We will definitely be booking him again. Thank you!

Booked the class Thai Cuisine Fundamentals with Chef Jordan W. in Julian

My husband gifted me the Thai Cuisine Fundamentals class for our anniversary and we had such a great time! Before our class, Chef Jordan reached out about any food allergies and was kind enough to cater to my wheat and dairy restriction. Upon arriving at his beautiful home, Chef Jordan greeted us with a friendly smile and took us over to his kitchen where he had all of the ingredients displayed. He asked us what type of music we liked and I love listening to "French Cafe" songs while I cook so he turned it on for a relaxing mood. We made three dishes: Tom Kha Gai Soup, Thai Coconut Yellow Chicken Curry and Fresh Spring Rolls with a yummy Thai Peanut Sauce! Using fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch was so fun to make and eating it was so much better. You could really taste how fresh the ingredients were. Everything was loaded with flavor and pretty healthy, too! Chef Jordan did a great job teaching us knife skills and walking us through each recipe. One of the best things about the class was that we were able to eat A LOT! We made so much food that we were able to get second (even 3rd) helpings as well as pack some for the road. We brought a yummy Sauvignon Blanc with citrus notes that he recommended would pair well with the meal and it tasted great! He also took us on a mini tour of his garden to pick out fresh herbs for our spring rolls. Chef Jordan was very organized, friendly and professional and made good conversation throughout. Since it was just me and my husband, it was a very nice and intimate experience. He gave us the recipes to take home along with some grapefruit and passion fruit from his yard! We really enjoyed our time learning how to make this yummy 3-course meal. The next time we decide to do this again, I’d love to invite a bigger group with us to enjoy this fun experience! Thanks again Chef Jordan!

We had a great evening with Jordan. The Japanese food was delicious and Jordan did a fanstic job of involving us in the preparation. The lesson was a Christmas gift to my girlfriend and it was a huge hit. Especially appreciated Jordan taking the time to teach us knife techniques and the motivation behind his ingredients. Couldn’t recommend him more strongly for your next birthday gift or dinner party.

Booked the class A Paella Culinary Journey with Chef Jordan W. in San Diego (University Heights)

Our family booked a paella cooking class with Chef Jordan for my mother in law's 70th birthday. Jordan was very professional and showed up with all the supplies for the cooking class. He used every opportunity to teach us about how to use the knives and how to prepare/cut different ingredients. Paella is something we would have never attempted on our own, and it was awesome to have a hands on experience to learn how to make it. Jordan goes above & beyond teaching and encouraging you to reimagine how simple and easy cooking can be. We loved the emphasis on using high grade and locally sourced ingredients. We made chicken broth from scratch and were able to use the leftover both & chicken for a dinner dish later in the week. All around this was an incredible experience and an excellent way to elevate your gatherings! Thank you Jordan!

Booked the event Handmade Thai Fare with Chef Jordan W. in Julian

We had an AMAZING experience with Chef Jordan! Our family of four met at his home and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Our menu conisisted of Lettuce Wrapped Portobello Quinoa Sliders topped with chipotle aioli and avocado, Blackened Pineapple Cajun Chicken and Peach Mango Cherry Cobbler. Cooking together as a family was such a fun and memorable experience, and every dish we made was both delicious and healthy. My husband and son were a bit hesitant about some of the vegetarian quinoa slider dishes at first, but the quinoa burgers completely won them over—they’re still talking about how good they were! Chef Jordan is an incredible teacher: warm, patient, engaging, and so knowledgeable. He made everything easy to follow and genuinely fun. Cooking in his home felt very special, and Chef Jordan went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. We would highly recommend him to anyone booking a cooking class through Cozymeal. Five stars all the way!
