In this hands-on class with Chef Matt, you will learn how to prepare a four-course Mediterranean menu showcasing the classic and comforting (yet refreshing!) flavors of the region.
You will begin by learning how to whip up an impossibly smooth hummus as well as toom — a fluffy dip made from garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt — a play on a traditional Lebanese sauce called toum. You will also prepare a lime tahini dressing for your couscous, learn how to balance the soul-warming spices of shawarma, and bake melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies.
Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

I honestly hate doing this, but I have to give a very negative review here. This class was initially scheduled as an anniversary present to my wife. We had a very difficult time finding childcare for our four children, but we managed to make that happen. Matt asked us to reschedule that initial date due to a conflict of his own. We understand that things happen, and as difficult as it was to adjust our schedules and find new childcare, we managed to make to make the new date work. On the day of our class, Matt emailed me approximately 45 minutes before our class and said that he was coming back from a football game, his car broke down, and he had to cancel. He did not offer to reschedule and simply said he'd make sure we were refunded. My wife and I were beyond dissapointed. I guess life happens. I am not a fan of leaving these types of reviews, but I also saw that this isn't the only one of this nature on Cozymeal for Matt. I do wish him the best of luck, but there is no chance I would ever attemp to use him or Cozymeal again. This is just my experience. Hopefully others have had better luck.

After he requested a postponement of our first accepted reservation, chef never arrived for the rescheduled reservation. This was our first and last experience with Cozymeal

Our chef cancelled at the last minute and has offered no support in helping us obtain our refund. Weeks of careful planning with another couple, including expensive childcare, was wasted. We will not be using Cozymeal again and we will be warning our friends away from this organization.

His background includes being a sous chef for James Beard nominee Chef Jenn Louis, being a top 10 finalist in the Food Network's "Christmas Cookie Challenge" and running his own catering bakery business.
