Chef Frank is excellent! He showed us techniques for using knives and gave us lots of great tips on how to work better in the kitchen when prepping for dinner (what kind of butter to use; how to make a souffle; how to slice a Japanese eggplant; how to roast pine nuts etc.). He has a gift for making cooking new things fun and exciting. We had an awesome meal at his home that we helped prepare and left with lots of great ideas and a renewed sense that cooking can be very rewarding. Thank you, Chef Frank, for a great evening!

We had a private cooking lesson with chef Frank on April 23, 2019 in his home, and the experience was wonderful. The food was delicious! However the process of finding the right class through Cozymeal was not easy, we would have given up had it not been a gift certificate. We were glad we had the class with chef Frank.

Chef Frank was wonderful!! My husband loves to cook pasta and he asked for an "experience" for a Christmas present. He had a blast making several pastas from scratch and accompanying side dishes. Chef Frank shared some of his wonderful Italian family history making the experience more personal. I would definitely recommend Chef Frank for anyone looking to learn have a fun time.

took the pies and tarts aplenty class. what was supposed to be an endearing learning experience was instead an absolute shit show. we were not provided proper tools. all the ingredients for the filling of the pot pie obviously came in a can. we made enough crust for one pie, the rest of the dishes were made with pillsbury. yes, the kind you buy in the freezer aisle. he tried to send us home with uncooked quiche as if liquid just stays where it’s put. felt rushed the entire time. horribly disappointing experience overall, couldn’t even bare to stay the full 2.5 hours.

The whole evening was delightful. The lamb you served was cooked to perfection. I can't even remember the last time we had anything so delicious. We also enjoyed hearing all your stories. My wife and I had a wonderful time. We would definitely do it again!

I had a nice experience with Chef Frank — he is an excellent host and his food is fantastic. His place is close to beautiful golf courses surrounded by trees and green everywhere — you feel calm and relaxed as soon as you enter, where he also offers a nice selection of music. His food was tasty and the portions were perfect. One of my favorite plates was the pork with red peppers because of the mixture of sweet and salty. I also liked the fish with olives...delicious. At the end, I enjoyed two desserts made with nuts and brown sugar, perfect with a glass of champagne or a cup of coffee. Frank comes from Chicago and so do his flavors. I highly recommend Chef Frank for your next culinary experience.

Frank was great. He was easy to schedule and coordinate menus with. Incredibly prompt, personable, with great food. An amazing value. Will definitely use Frank again.

This overall experience was quite good. Frank and I spent time designing a menu based on our initial conversation. Frank arrived on time, dove into my kitchen, was self-sufficient and 30 minutes later he was serving apps to begin the meal. Frank left the kitchen cleaned, filled the dishwasher, and put the leftovers, labeled and stored, in the fridge. I don't know if Frank "read" the clients to decide how chatty to be, but he was minimal with us, which was fine, but if you want more talk he would be good at that also.

We had the most wonderful brunch prepared by Chef Frank. Will book again next year when we are in Florida again. Thanks Frank for a great experience- It was one of the highlights of our college roommate spring break celebration.

Chef Frank prepared a genuine Italian dinner from apps to dessert. Frank customized the menu to fit our desires. Choose DiMaria culinary for your next event and he will make you look good for your decision.

Chef DiMaria made a golf group of ten a wonderful dinner. Menu consisted of antipasto, salads, lasagne, chicken vesuvio, and cannoli. The food was fabulous. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I would do this experience again in a heartbeat.
