This was our first experience with a Cozymeal chef and it was great! Denis was very patience with my boyfriend and myself throughout the whole experience. He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel comfortable. I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our anniversary. I will definitely be booking another class with Denis soon

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Denis this past weekend and highly recommend his cooking class. We were able to cook delicious French meals and was a wonderful date night after a busy work week. All the meal items he chose for us were incredible and brought all the ingredients to our apartment. Cannot recommend him enough. He was patient, kind and made a very memorable experience for us.

I hired Chef Denis as a gift for my husband James and we had the BEST TIME. Not only was Chef Denis extremely kind and easy to work with, the meal he curated was INCREDIBLE. He taught us everything from the most efficient way to chop an onion all the way to how to *properly* devein shrimp (I've been doing it wrong my whole life)! The entire evening exceeded our expectations and we're so happy we have leftovers. If you're thinking about hiring him, please do. You will not regret it! To Chef Denis: We cannot wait to have you back for another cooking lesson with more laughs and wine. You were absolutely incredible and we seriously adore you. Thank you a million times, again. Cheers, James and Griselle

Chef Denis was very helpful and crafted a delicious meal that we were also able to help with. He is very knowledgeable around technique and food history. He was punctual and the menu he cooked for us was delicious. I highly recommend for a fun date night or special occasion at home!

From me: Chef Denis was great! He was very knowledgeable and patient (I literally didn't even know how to hold a knife). He was also just interesting to chat with! My boyfriend, Greg, and I had a great time taking his class! Everything was delicious! He was great at giving instructions and brought any cooking tools I might've not had in my kitchen. I think the only feedback I'd give is having more options for vegan recipes on the Cozymeal menu overall! I'd totally love to do another class in the future, as one of the most difficult parts of going vegan/vegetarian is cooking things from scratch as opposed to heating up the overpriced/over-processed meat substitutes ? From my boyfriend who took the class with me: Hey yeah absolutely seconding everything Isa said. Denis was a great instructor and a joy to cook with. He walked us through the recipes at our pace, demonstrated all of the steps, and made sure to get us both involved as often as possible. As a person, he was funny and interesting, with many stories to share about cooking and beyond.

Chef Denis was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and made the experience extremely enjoyable! He was also very flexible which I appreciated. The food was delicious and the portions were generous for a party of 2. I would 100% book again for a different cuisine in the future.

Denis' knowledge of cuisine and sublime cooking made for a memorable anniversary. Highly recommend if you want to excite your palate with a scrumptious meal.

We had a wonderful time with Chef Denis! We learned new skills and had great conversation, all while making delicious food. Chef brought ingredients from his own garden and some even a goody bag for us to make our own pizza dough at a later date. We so look forward to using the tips Chef taught us in our next cooking adventure. I would highly recommend a class with Chef Denis to anyone who asked!

Chef Denis had his hands full with us. 6 people in a galley kitchen and it was awesome! He taught us so much, kept us all organized and we cleaned as we went. Chef not only came prepared with high quality ingredients but also had supplies (like extra cutting boards and peelers. I also appreciated his communication leading up to the event - we were engaged in the shopping process and he gave me a heads up about tools and supplies needed. And the food! It was so yummy - from the soup to the fish to the chicken to dessert everything was yummy. He even left me with good plans for the leftovers. I highly recommend Chef Denis and this menu. Was such a great bday party experience.

This was a great experience. Cooked an amazing 4 course (!) meal with Chef Denis’s guidance, but also learnt plenty of skills along the way that we can use in the future. We don’t have a huge kitchen, but Chef was very flexible, friendly and accommodating. My husband was very happy with this birthday gift!

I booked Chef Denis’s pizza making class for my husband’s birthday and we had an amazing time! Denis provided all the ingredients, including several that were fresh from his garden, as well as some of the kitchen tools that we needed for the class. The food was delicious and we are already using some of the knife skills and cooking tips he taught us during class. He also had some great stories from his time working as a professional chef in NYC restaurants. We will absolutely book again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than our time with Chef Denis. Chef Denis is an extremely skilled and thoughtful teacher and we loved this hands on experience. He left us with a lot of awesome tips and tricks- and some of the most delicious food!!! (A risotto dessert to die for!). We will absolutely be recommending Chef Denis to everyone- and taking another one of his courses.

What an amazing experience! We wanted to try something new and have a gourmet dinner without having to go out. Chef Denis sure did deliver that. He was prompt, had excellent communication, curated an amazing menu, was very thorough and kind and showed up to serve us dinner in the middle of a snow storm! We are already planning our next dinner party. Thank you so much for everything, the food was truly delicious and everything was grand!
