Chef Dock truly made this experience one of a kind! The ingredients he used were fresh, the recipes tasty, and the amount of teaching he did was so helpful! I not only enjoyed the experience of learning the art of cooking but also enjoyed the delicious cuisine we created from scratch. He was funny, a patient teacher and very encouraging. I would do his cooking classes again!

Great host and good chef! Really enjoyed the food. Our group shared the cooking tasks, would love to do a session in the future where we get to try our hand at making smaller portions of everything ourselves. Overall great experience. Thank you, Chef Dock!

This was an outstanding experience. Chef Dock was patient and very detailed with us, but the class just flowed without a hitch. It's didn't feel like a rigorous teaching, but a lighthearted lesson. And in the end, a delicious 4 course meal that I was proud to say I had a hand in preparing.

Wow! Chef Dock was amazing. I was nervous because he was listed as a new chef with Cozymeal but he blew our socks off. Rest assured he has years of experience as a chef before joining Cozymeal and you will taste the expertise. Chef Dock does not disappoint! The food was delectable. My extremely hard-to-impress partner exclaimed it was better than most restaurants, and we have dined with the best. We had so much fun hearing Chef Dock’s stories and meeting with the other couple (socially distanced, of course). 10 out of 10 Chef Dock! Thank you for making my mister’s birthday gift special. :)

Chef Dock taught me how to cook roasted red pepper and squash soup. He clearly demonstrated all of his steps. He was very friendly and was able to answer questions I had while he was simultaneously chopping his ingredients. I had asked what the difference was between powdered ginger and a ginger paste and he easily was able to answer my question. He also went into detail of substitutions you could use for the soup. He was very friendly and easy going and cracked a couple jokes that had me laughing. I enjoyed learning with chef Dock.
