Chef Eric was enthusiastic, charismatic, and incredibly supportive throughout the class. Chef stepped in exactly when needed and shared quick, helpful tips that made preparing the dish so much easier. Both dishes were absolutely delicious — but the Roasted Leek and Gruyère Croissant was truly top tier! I’m already looking forward to booking another class in the near future.

I had an AMAZING experience with Chef Titik! From the time that I entered her lovely space, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming greeting. The selection of the meal was great. The history of the food and culture was intriguing. I was intrigued by the interaction and the end result of the finished product. We all dined together and it felt like I was eating with family. The evening was simply marvelous!

If I had to describe the event with just one word, it would be “outstanding.” Chef Titik prepared a wonderful evening with delicious food, a comfortable safe space and a cozy vibe which made for a perfect Valentine’s Day celebration. As we made our 3 course meal, Titik taught us world history of Indonesian, Dutch, French and Moroccan culture and also provided helpful tips for the kitchen that I would not have learned had I not taken this class. My girlfriend and I would love to take another class of hers and invite all of our friends to join. It was so fun! We will absolutely take another Cozymeal class and look forward to another dinner with Titik.

My sister and I had such a wonderful time in Janet’s cooking class! She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and approachable. We learned how to make a delicious bruschetta with olive tapenade, a perfectly cooked chicken marsala, and a silky panna cotta that was the perfect finish. Janet’s guidance made even the more intimidating steps feel easy, and we walked away with new skills—and full stomachs! Highly recommend her class to anyone looking for a hands-on and memorable culinary experience.

We had a great time with Chef Andy! He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We did the Vegan Chinese Takeout class. This is a great class for beginner and experienced vegans alike. Chef Andy did a great job of adapting to the varied skill levels in our group.

Janet was a hoot. We had so much fun making dimsum and every dish was beyond delicious. I can't wait to whip out these recipes for my next dinner party!

Chef Janet was AWESOME! Booked her Dim Sum class for my 2 year anniversary. She comes with everything you could need (you need to supply nothing but a stove and microwave!) and then takes home all of the dirty pots and pans - no clean up was a lovely surprise. She is funny and great to talk to. Oh and most importantly, the food was delicious!

Chef Andy's class was wonderful! He was informative, engaging, highly flexible, and most importantly patient. Our group of 30 had a blast and we would take another one of his class. I couldn't recommend his class enough.

I brought my team in for a fun end of year activity and Chef Andy and his team knocked it out of the park. The mystery basket had our team excited to try each of the courses, we were taught technique throughout the night, and still had time for mingling and tons of laughter. In the end, the food turned out delicious and our group had an incredible night. I highly recommend Chef Andy for any of your team or friend/family activities!

We had a great time with David! He did a great job ensuring that we were all engaged (to the extent each person wanted) with all our different skill levels. The food was great and we would highly recommend a class with him!

Our time with Chef Janet was nothing short of wonderful. It was a delightful experience to cook, converse, and create a wonderful memory with her. She was also very accommodating regarding potential dietary restrictions and made to share lots of useful techniques that could be used in our own cooking ventures. Please do yourself a favor and take one of her classes! You won’t regret it!

Andy's class was awesome! My husband and I came from Oklahoma in search of help learning to make a great crust for our new pizzeria. Andy did just that. He explained the how's and why's of every step of the recipe. His apartment was squeaky clean. He was very welcoming and friendly. The neighborhood seemed very safe. We very much enjoyed his class, even my husband, who was skeptical. I would totally recommend Chef Andy and his pizza class to anyone and everyone!

Alex was awesome! We did a couples class and learned how to make cacio e pepe. It was one of the best pasta dishes we've ever had! The recipe was super easy to follow, and he showed us many tips and tricks along the way. Alex was super easy to get along with and talk to, and he made the whole experience enjoyable. He really exceeded expectations, would highly recommend!

Truly such a fun & cozy evening! Andy made the whole experience educational, fun, and memorable. The pasta dishes were delicious, and he even tailored some of the recipes to our group. My boyfriend and I took Andy’s class & I couldn’t recommend this enough for a date night or fun group activity. He opened up his home to us & created such an awesome atmosphere.

Chef David was AWESOME!! We had such a great time. And David's sarcastic humor was top notch...and his cooking skills aren't bad either :-P Kidding...he was a great teacher, and very relaxed with so many things happening at once. Any level of cooking skill would do great in this class...and probably any class that is taught by David. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Chef Andy and his wife Emily were very lovely and generous for opening up their home! The Argentinian Steak night was unbelievable experience and the quality of food was top notch. Pair that with your own favorite red wine and you will have a night to remember! 5/5 recommend!

Chef Alex’s Advanced Pasta class was great! My boyfriend and I had a great time cooking with him - he is super personable & extremely knowledgeable with cooking tips & tricks. He brought everything we needed to make the recipes and did some great prep before hand to make sure class ran smoothly & on time. We would highly recommend his class to anyone interested! All of the dishes were SO DELICIOUS! Overall, great experience!!

Chef Rakhi is personable, knowledgeable, and professional. Her house is beautiful and very welcoming. Chef Rakhi provided us with a fun evening and an incredible meal. We absolutely loved everything on the menu. Best of all, everyone in our group feels confident that we can recreate the meals in our own homes due to Chef Rakhi's excellent instructions and recipes.
