Chef Christopher was an incredible teacher for the Italian Cooking Class! My girlfriend and I had such a great time learning how to cook our meal. The homemade maple ice cream was especially delicious. Chef Christopher was personable, fun to spend time with, and made sure we were able to follow everything he was doing. We would recommend this class to anyone who loves good food, new experiences, and great company!

Went during Valentine’s Day and had a wonderful time. Christopher reached out to each couple to ensure everyone was comfortable with having others at the dinner as well as making sure the food choices were alright. He was a wonderful teacher and the food tasted great! Would definitely do this again.

We were 20 minutes late and were fretting but Christopher made us feel at ease and smoothly transitioned into cooking. It was an absolute blast cooking with Christopher and food came out delicious. We had a 5 course French inspired meal and every single one of them was memorable. Me and my wife really enjoyed being part of the cooking process and let our artistic side express itself while plating. The highlights of the night were the foie gras(goose liver) and the halibut with couscous. Bonus points for putting my wife at ease at the prospect of making crepes in the future.

What a great experience! My son is an aspiring chef and this was his Christmas present. Chef Christopher was wonderful! He made us feel at home immediately and we had great fun trying foie gras for the first time and learning that presentation is not just about looks, but flavor. The reductions were delicious and made for a beautiful plate. Thank you Chef Christopher!

I surprised by boyfriend with this class to celebrate our anniversary and enjoyed it a lot. Chef Christopher made us feel at home and we loved cooking with him. He is funny, encouraging, and a great chef.

We went to Chef Christopher's house and sat at his kitchen bar while he prepared the meal directly in front of us. He explained what he was making and how and was happy to answer our questions. We both learned a lot about preparing and serving food. Christopher was also very fun to interact with on other topics and the time flew by. This was our first time at a Cozymeal event and we were worried that it would be a disappointment, but Christopher is the real deal and prepared a tasty, gourmet dinner including some of the finest halibut we've ever had. We will do this again.

What a fantastic experience! It's clearly evident that Chef Christopher has a passion for cooking and entertaining. He's obviously very skilled in the kitchen, but also has an attention to detail. The ambience he has created for his class was perfect, and it was such a beautiful night to dine outside. So romantic! We had a lovely time learning and laughing and would absolutely recommend Chef Christopher.
