Megan was extremely accommodating and a hoot to hang out with! The space where the class took place was beautiful and left with new tricks up my sleeve that were used on the very next meal I cooked. I’m adventurous with my cooking and eating, so I’m excited to try another one hosted by Megan!

Chef Megan was warm and welcoming. She knows the history, science, and skills surrounding the meals she makes. I learned so much from her, it's a class I wish I took sooner as it made me a better and more effective cook. The food was absolutely phenomenal; the timing of the food served and the portions were perfect. This meal will be a holiday family tradition moving forward. We had an amazing time with Chef Megan and would definitely be back again for another class!

Had an absolute blast with Chef Megan, to the point where classes with other companies in the Austin area (like Sur La Table) are now completely underwhelming. Hope to take some more with her soon!

This class was something that I will remember and cherish forever! I cannot recommend Chef Megan enough. I learned so much in this class, and it is an amazing once in a lifetime experience to work with Chef Megan. I not only feel more confident with cooking, but I’m also more open to trying different cuisines in the future. I would take this class 100 more times because it was that much fun. You will NOT regret this experience, and it will leaving wanting to come back for even more classes that Chef Megan teaches. She made my partners birthday weekend one for the books.

Class with Chef Megan was SO much fun! From the warm welcome into a beautiful cooking and dining space, to a tour of the garden (and meeting the chickens!), the engaging and informative cooking lesson and amazing brunch spread - everything was perfect. Megan makes you feel right at home and is such a joy to be around. We can’t wait to sign up for another class! Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Megan, she made us feel so comfortable. The ability to go to the garden to pick fresh produce and herbs for the dishes was incredible, and food was insanely delicious. We learned some new techniques; tried new flavor combinations with the pimento cheese grits, and the fried chicken…..delicious!!! We will definitely be booking another class with Chef Megan.

Trent

Chef Megan was incredible and deserves 10+ stars. She is super bubbly, engaging, and a fantastic storyteller which makes cooking much more enjoyable. She treated us with great hospitality and ensured everyone participated in various parts of the cooking experience. After the class, the strangers/participants felt like best friends who just created the best meal of a life time. Food was sooooooo good, we eat ourselves into a coma. Definitely take a course with Chef Megan—you will not regret it.

Megan was a wonderful host and teacher. Not only did we have a great time learning from her, but also enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. The session was both informative and fun! The food was fresh and delicious and we couldn't believe that we had prepared it ourselves! Megan made the whole process seem effortless. We would love to go back for another session!

Angie

21 Aug 2021

We had the best time with Chef Megan. She was very patient and explained all the steps in detail. She ‘stayed the course’ while keeping it light and fun. Ohhhhh, and she reminded us to refresh our drinks often. ?. Highly recommend her for anyone wanting to learn new ways or someone just starting out their cooking attempts.

Murray

20 Jul 2021

As our first Cozymeal experience, Chef Megan will definitely have us coming back! Her style is both laid-back, passionate, and educational. Those few hours we spent cooking and talking were pure enjoyment, and then tasting the culmination of our efforts was simply incredible. (Definitely the best fried chicken I've had in my life, and that's just speaking to one of the courses!) One last thing I will say: the value proposition is insane. I would have paid more than the same amount just to go to a restaurant (and have an okay-tasting experience) but we got that along with a couple hours of entertainment and education. We can't wait to try the next class!

This was such a fun class! Chef Megan created such a fun environment for all the couples involved and dropped so much knowledge about the dishes and ingredients. The food was so delicious and the broth we made together had so much flavor you'd be shocked to know it was vegan. I'd recommend this class (for vegans and non-vegans) in a heartbeat!

Megan was AMAZING! My group had an unbelievable time with her Italian cooking class. She was an amazing teacher and host - she had great cooking tips and was a wonderful sport to all of our bachelorette antics. I would recommend her over and over again to anyone in Texas looking for a cooking class. You get to spend the evening with the best teacher and eat incredible food! What’s better!!

All around amazing experience. Megan is a passionate chef and a kind soul. During our experience we learned many techniques we could use in our everyday cooking and Chef Megan made sure we had fun while doing it. The food was phenomenal and will definitely be replicated at home (it seemed so simple with all the guidance we received). So worth the money- you won’t regret booking any classes with this Chef.

Chef Megan is a quirky and joyful teacher and we had a blast from when we arrived to when we left. The venue is also perfect for teaching and socializing. Even if you’re an experienced home cook, chef Megan had many cool tips and tricks to share. We’re looking forward to heading back for brunch.

Alvin Tran

Chef Megan was super delightful! Everything was a great experience. There was a lot of hands on and Chef Megan was very elaborate on what we needed to do. The best thing I got out of this besides everything else was learning a new way to dice onions! Will for sure do this again!

Chef Megan is tremendous! Her Gourmet Italian-American Favorites class was amazing -- equal parts fun, informative, and delicious. We also loved the cozy location. This was our first ever cooking class and she really made sure we enjoyed ourselves and felt comfortable + confident in our new roles as chefs. She even emailed detailed recipes afterwards so we could recreate our meal. Totally recommended!

13 Sep 2021

Chef Megan was incredible. With every dish we prepared, she was elegant in her presentation as well as insightful with the different techniques she wanted us to learn in the food preperation. We loved it and will be taking another class.

Meagan

07 Sep 2021

My daughter and I had a wonderful evening with Chef Megan and the class! It was a perfect, relaxing experience to share while we were in from out of town. If only we lived closer we'd be there every chance we could. It'll definitely be added to our list of favorites to try and do again when we come back to the area! I heartily dislike all seafood, but my daughter loves it. I knew I could never do it justice teaching her how to make moule frites, so we were both excited for the class. In the end though, even I ate my entire serving of mussels because they were just that good.

Luigi

Megan was a terrific host, articulate and welcomes questions with wonderful answers. We had a super time with the preparation process of the meal - and finally enjoying the meal, exquisite!

What an amazing date night with my girlfriend.. Meghan welcomed us into her kitchen for our first cozymeal and it couldn’t have been better. She had us chopping garlic like I never had before, learned how to smoothly stir the risotto and sprinkled us with charming stories about her passion for cooking and European travels. All to serve up a delicious meal that we can now bring into our home.

Andrew

14 Jul 2021

My girlfriend and i had a great time learning how to make shrimp scampi and risotto with Chef Megan! Chef Megan was extremely personable and funny, and offered great cooking tips and stories as we cooked. The location was great and the food turned out excellent. We had some fantastic Tiramisu to top it off. We will definitely be trying the recipe out at home and going back for another class!
