Alex was great! He was so knowledgeable with all things cooking, and indulged any questions we had. It was a full night of cooking, but he split up the courses and made it feel very relaxing. Will definitely be doing this again in the future!

We had a fantastic time! Enjoyed learning from and chatting with Chef Alex. The food was wonderful. Our only recommendation to Cozymeal is to allow for earlier times on the weekends!

We had the absolute best time with Alex and have already started saving for another class! We are a young couple and very new to cooking and Alex was an incredible teacher and chef. We would have been so intimidated to make any of these foods on our own, but Alex showed us just how attainable it can be. We learned so much and can't stop talking about how yummy the menu was. 100% recommend taking a class with Alex!

Chef Alex made our work Christmas party perfect! His food was excellent, he even added in a special plate and did a great job of communicating throughout our event. Having him take care of the meal preparation and serving allowed us to focus on our guests! Not to mention, he left my kitchen absolutely sparkling clean!! Thanks Chef Alex!

Chef Alex showed me how to make an Asian breakfast dish using rice, eggs, soy sauce and a few other ingredients. I think I will now incorporate rice into my breakfast dish line up! This turned out really yummy.

I have no culinary skills at all, and Alex helped me make delicious meals that I would have been too intimidated to make on my own. Alex not only made the dishes accessible, but he improved my confidence in the kitchen and I had a great time working with him. Thanks Alex!
