BEST EXPERIENCE! I booked this as a birthday gift for my friend, and we both enjoyed it. Chef Rodney is amazing and hilarious. It’s is worth the price. You learn to cook something new, have a nice meal, and enjoy your time with others. I will definitely book again!

Outstanding experience! Who knew we would get a first class sushi experience, along with a comedy routine AND some great life coaching? Chef Rodney was effortless in guiding our class, while being witty and engaging the entire time. Everything he had us prepare was delicious. I cannot recommend this experience enough. To cement the training, we did it all again last night on our own, and it turned out great. Thank you so much, Chef Rodney!

Chef Rodney was amazing! My boyfriend and I had made sushi a few times, but learned a lot of tips and actually know how to make amazing sushi now. Rodney was so much fun to learn from and cook with.

Chef Rodney was unbelievably phenomenal. He was entertaining, polite, patient, and professional. We booked a class for our 9 year old sushi loving son as a Christmas present, and Chef Rodney was able to to keep a high expectation for the class while truly meeting the theme of this class— simple. He worked to make sure our son understood each step, while also providing ingredients and skills for a delicious meal. He is worth every single penny and so much more. I can’t imagine a better experience.

We loved our evening with Chef Rodney! He had everything ready, explained and demonstrated all the techniques, as well as taught our group with patience. He gave wonderful tips to use in the future as well. He is very professional, knowledgeable and funny. It was our first time doing this and we all would do it again especially if we could have Chef Rodney!

Rodney provided the perfect setting for my wife's surprise birthday gift. From the moment that he was waiting outside to help us find his apartment to the moment we were leaving with our newfound skill he was a wonderful and warm host. I highly recommend Chef Rodney to anyone who wants a fun evening full of laughter, learning, and lots of good food!

Chef Rodney was absolutely incredible. I bought this as an experience for my boyfriend and I and he was so friendly and accommodating in helping us learn everything. He let us be hands on with everything and the food was incredible. I definitely recommend booking this sushi experience and it really can be as simple as he says! Thank you again Chef Rodney! We had the most amazing time.

Chef Rodney was perfect. If you love to learn new things about cooking ... and want to be able to also do them in your home not some fancy gourmet kitchen he is the man to show you. Great conversation and helpful tips in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. He is a must book !

This was my second ever cooking class, the first was at another school where the objective was to make Thai food. We were divided into groups to do different parts of the meal, and I walked away with only a superficial knowledge of how to make chicken coconut soup. Cozymeal and Chef Rodney's class, on the other hand was so much better in that we were involved in every aspect (even to loading the dishwasher afterwards). I came away from this with actual knowledge, I feel confident I could recreate the meal in my own kitchen. Chef Rodney has a great personality, he could easily have his own TV show, cooking or otherwise. All in all, it was a fun, entertaining experience, and I gained some practical knowledge that I look forward to using soon!

Wow, such a amazing meal and experience! Rodney's creation was exceptional, and his fun and kind personality was the icing on top. The chicken was perfectly seared and juicy, the sauce so full of flavor, and the asparagus perfectly crispy (something we've never accomplished lol)! Rodney is warm, kind and professional and it's clear why he's had the opportunity to lead culinary experiences and teams all over the country and world. We couldn't have asked for a better night! We highly recommend Rodney and hope to try his other creations in the future! Thank you again, Rodney!

Chef Rodney was great but for 400 bucks I was expecting a large kitchen and Paired wine options. This is just based on previous experiences. I understand it is in the chef’s home but upon arriving I found it difficult to find the apartment. The cooking environment was distracting with outside noises.

Chris

Rodney was amazing. He’s very personable and the food he cooked was an 11/10. I would hire him in a heartbeat again. Thanks Rodney!

It was so much fun. It's like having a good friend invite you over for dinner, but teach you how to cook in the process. It's really neat that he can turn his home into a teaching environment, but make it seem like a dinner party at the same time.

Thank you, Chef Rodney! We had a wonderful time chatting, cooking, drinking and learning. Rodney is super hospitable and super knowledgeable when it comes to his craft. We learned some great tips, which will find their way into our home-cooking repertoire and unleashed at the next dinner party. All in all, it was a wonderful evening and a terrific value.

I couldn’t have asked for a more special or intimate way to celebrate a birthday or any other occasion for that matter! Chef Rodney is truly gifted and I loved every aspect of sharing his home and kitchen!! He was patient, informative, and very engaging as we went through each entree. I learned some new techniques and actually left feeling like every penny spent was worth it and then some! Please don’t hesitate to seek his services for large or small events because the quality, food, service, and personality is top notch!!

Chef Rodney was so fun!! We had a great time. My only complaint is Chef did not get notice there were 2 additional people so we had 4 people on 2 portions of food and still had to pay for 4 people. Outside of that, it was fun.
