We had such an awesome time with Chef Zach for the Regional French Fare cooking class. Our group of friends had 1 gluten allergy and 1 nut allergy, he was so accommodating for them without making a big deal of it. He made the birthday girl feel special, made surprise goodies like GF macarons just for us! We laughed and learned so much. Thanks Chef Zach! We all said after that we would definitely book again!

Chef Zach was INCREDIBLE! My boyfriend and I ended up having a private cooking session, and we had such a great date night. Not only was the food delicious, but Zach was super knowledgeable and taught us about the origins of the recipe as well as ways to best recreate the meal (because we most definitely will). Zach went above and beyond, curating a French bistro environment to match our French meal, and was such a pleasure to chat with during our time together. Would 10/10 recommend booking a meal with Zach, you won't be disappointed!!

Wow what a phenomenal experience! Zach was incredible from start to finish starting with his love for food and his inspiration for his career. The flavors of all the dishes were really as if your tastebuds were on a vacation. I loved that he had personal photos on display of his Greek adventures. We’re already looking forward to our next class with Zach. 1000000/10.

Our experience with Chef Zach was incredible! He was warm and welcoming, his class was fun and informative, and we had a blast making the most delicious meal I've ever cooked. He shared stories of the travels from which his meals were derived as well as his personal tips and tricks that he picked up through his own experiences. We are already looking to book our next class with him!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!! This was a birthday adventure for my daughter and there was zero disappointment!! The “cozy” part of the name was the home class. The Mediterranean themed food was AMAZING and my daughter got the input, experience and fun I was hoping she’d get.

Zach is the most informative and interesting chef ever. He makes everything insanely fun and a joy to do together. My girlfriend and I had to reschedule TWICE and he was nothing but kind. What a truly wonderful soul he is, and a delight to be around.

Zach was amazing with directions and is very personable. The food was cooked beautifully and it was such an interactive and delicious way to spend a Valentine’s weekend idea with my partner. Highly recommend him and will be attending another one of his classes in the future.

Chef Zachs 'Journey Through Brazil' class was nothing less than perfection. This was a gift I had given my boyfriend for Christmas as an experience for us to do together. Not only did we get to experience some delicious food but we got the opportunity to relearn some cooking techniques such as how to properly cut vegetables or hold a knife. A wonderful experience from start to finish and would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in trying out a cooking class. We are looking forward to coming back and trying another class with him!

What z as fantastic experience. Zach invited into his home and made us feel so welcome. You realize right away what a passion he has to share his love for cooking. There were 3 couples and he brought us all together with fun and laughter and an amazing time for over three and half hours. We definitely recommend as a must do. Will not be disappointed.

So that's how you dice an onion! Chef Zach provided a fun, rich learning experience for a cuisine I knew little about, Brazil. My sisters and I had fun! Thanks Chef!

Chef Zach was AWESOME. We had a fantastic time. He taught us knife skills, educated us on the history of the foods we were eating, and gave us a ton of overall cooking tips. This is hands down, the best cooking class I've ever taken and was 100x better than any in-store class I've seen. Zach had photos scrolling on his TV of his trips to Brazil and this showed us that we truly had an authentic experience as well as he has spent so much time in Brazil. It's easy to see that he has a passion for what he does and that shines through in creating a welcoming, cozy, and educational experience. I've felt frustrated when going to some cooking classes as it feels too rigid or like you're not always able to get 1:1 lessons. Taking a class like this in the chef's kitchen was incredible. Everything felt very personalized. On top of that, it was a ton of fun. If you're on the fence about which class to take, the Brazilian class w/Chef Zach is incredible as you get to try different flavor combinations and learn things you can easily do at home. He even gave us some some basic lessons in speaking Brazilian Portuguese. We even went home with plenty of leftovers that we cannot wait to eat. My husband & I have already argued about who gets to eat the rest of the brigadeiros. Sidenote: I'd love if Cozymeal would let me post photos of the class with this review as that would have been helpful when booking.

This was me and my girlfriends first time with a private chef cooking class and this experience was amazing. Chef Zack was welcoming, funny, energetic and a great teacher. He broke down our theme, gave us history of simple ingredients we use everyday and was open to all questions we had.. and we had a lot! The atmosphere was awesome and coupled with the food and wine, WOW! The food was very very good - down to the salad and dessert! I don’t want to give away to much about the class but all and all I highly recommend this class and we will be coming back to see what else Chef Zack has to offer. Thank you!

This was our first cooking class for me and my girlfriends five year anniversary and we were a bit nervous/shy but Chef Zach made it fun and informative, plus the food was amazing.

Wow this class was so much fun!! My husband booked this class for my birthday and we didn't quite know what to expect, but Chef Zach made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived! The dishes were simple, but with a lot of flavor and I feel very confident with Chef Zach's tips we will be able to recreate these at home and impress all our friends!! I can't wait to book my next class with Chef Zach!!

Chef Zach is an extraordinary chef with true passion for creating and teaching about amazingly tasty food! He has traveled to the countries he teaches about--Brazil, Paris, Greece, etc--and it show in his polished and comprehensive approach...along with his friendly, down-to-earth attitude and caring teaching style. Don't miss the chance to learn with him!

We had a great time learning from and cooking with chef Zach! Food means so much more when you learn the history behind it. Not only did we make a 4 course Brazilian meal with my partner, we learned where the dishes came from and what cultural groups influenced each dish: fish stew, brigadeiros, and pao de queijo. The food was tasty with complex flavors that was created with attention and care. I can't believe how easy it is to make pao de queijo; much easier to make than pronounce, for me. Chef Zach was personable, engaging and patient. We learned not only how to cook the dishes but also several useful cooking skills and techniques we plan to use moving forward.

Chef Zach is amazing!!! I took the Flavors of Greece class and it was delicious. I went with my oldest daughter and he taught us all the tricks of how to use the knife, how to combine herbs and explained step by step the recipe while we were making it. He also had the printout for us to take home. I am so glad that I decided for this class. I highly recommend it, never tasted such a delicious Greek meal. Also, we all kept our masks at all times and our distance. Everything is clean and he even had Greek music and pictures of his trip to Greece. Thanks Chef!

What an amazing experience! Chef Zach was so accommodating and even gave us some tips on safe knife handling, how to properly zest a lime, how to peel ginger, etc. as part of our lesson. It was also wonderful to learn more about Brazil and even some Portuguese as part of the lesson. The food was amazing and we learned so much! Five stars!

Absolutely awesome experience! Chef Zach was very welcoming and tried to accommodate everyone's needs or (in my case) dietary restrictions :) The atmosphere was fun and friendly, Zach shared different cooking tips and tricks along the way. The food was delicious, and we got to keep the recipes and lots of inspiration. We enjoyed this experience greatly and will definitely try other classes. Thanks once again to Chef Zach for hosting us and sharing his culinary expertise!

We really enjoyed our delicious dinner and all the new techniques and skills we learned! I booked this experience as a Christmas gift for my 24 year old son. I think he was a little apprehensive about what I had gotten him into, but we really enjoyed getting to know Zach and all of our new cooking skills. Wonderful new knowledge for a beginner cook and plenty of helpful tips for me also. Thanks, Zach!

Absolutely wonderful experience! The mood was set. The prep was fun. The food delicious. Zach was a super host. So glad I looked for something different to do. We’ve done some other cooking school events but this was much better. Smaller group. Chances to ask questions.

What a great experience! Chef Zach provided a wonderful mix of facts and history of Brazilian cooking, hands-on instruction and a fabulous meal. Super adept at pacing and guidance. An easy laid-back atmosphere with an exceptional meal at the end! I’d recommend this for anyone interested in a fun date night with low pressure. No worry if you don’t have much experience cooking...Chef Zach will have you feeling like a pro in no time! Highly recommend!

This being our first time doing an experience like this on the Cozymeal platform, the information provided was complete and helpful. My wife and I had planned this experience to celebrate our 10th marriage anniversary. Instead of going to a restaurant, we decided to do something different. Since we consider Food to be quite central to what we enjoy, my wife found and discovered this cooking class on Cozy Meal. Since we are vegetarians, it took us some time but we finally found this Brazilian cuisine cooking class on Cozymeal with a vegetable and fish-based menu! Now about the host: We found the whole experience amazing. Zach was an extremely personable and friendly host who not only provided a great gastronomic experience but also engaged us with his travel and cooking stories. We learned a few new kitchen skills on the side. We loved the interactive cooking aspect of the experience, with Zach showing us the way! 2 hours passed in a hurry, and at the end of it, we enjoyed a tremendous five course meal! An amazing experience that we'll remember in years to come!

What a wonderful evening of experience, after 50 years of cooking I learned helpful hints of cooking and blending of taste. Chef Zach made it fun and educational at the same time. A wonderful evening and great teacher!!! The food was wonderful too!

Zach not only gave me my first taste of Brazilian cuisine (delicious!) but also the hands on, muscle-memory-learning and desire to try making it myself in the future. Zach's home and kitchen is super clean and inviting and the table was set perfectly. It's relaxing to be with close friends, enjoying wine we brought, while Zach kept track of timing and sequence, passed on tips and timesavers, and guided us to produce a stress-free gourmet dinner. Zach made possible a special intimate dinner with close friends-- without having to grocery shop, prepare, clean house, set the table, or clean-up afterward---priceless !!

Chef Zach prepares - and teaches you to prepare - food that he knows and loves. His French-inspired cuisine comes with a love for his own French heritage, and his time spent in Brazil shows in his proficiency there as well. He's quick with an anecdote that tells the story behind why he loves the menu items he chose, and his deep knowledge of technique means you'll learn something new while he demos even the simplest cooking method - like adding salt to water for pasta. Who knew we weren't using enough of it?
