Chef Nick was awesome! He came over for a Valentine’s Day cooking class for my girlfriend and me. He was super accommodating for dietary restrictions and substituted delicious vegetarian options. He’s personable, friendly, had a great sense of humor, and was a great/patient teacher. Every dish was amazing. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in a class or personal chef services!

We had an amazing time! Having a chef come into your home has normally been a comfort reserved for the ultra wealthy, and Cozy Meal has made this experience accessible for everyone! Chef Nicolas was very knowledgeable, brought his own flare and style to the dishes, and he even cleaned the entire kitchen after we finished, leaving it looking brand new. We can’t wait to remake the recipes we created that night, and want to thank Chef Nicolas and Cozy Meals for making our night such a special experience!

Nicholas has been providing private dining and meal prep in my home for almost Ten years. His passion for cooking really shows and continues to grow. His ability of quickly getting familiar my family's individual palates, and dietary restrictions was super helpful. He continues to deliver fresh new weekly menus that we all love. After years of service we consider him a part of our family and we highly recommend his services.

Chef Nicholas hosted a team building cooking class experience for my colleagues and I. As a new startup I requested that the overall experience to really focus on the breaking the ice, getting everyone engaged, and working together hands on. His creativity really shined when it came to putting together a menu that did exactly so. I highly recommend him for any business seeking a fun, successful team building activity, or anyone seeking private cooking lessons.

I recently hired Chef Nicholas to cook brunch for my girlfriends and I for my bachelorette weekend. I expressed that it was very important for the food and the overall experience to be fun, playful, and cute given the occasion. He absolutely delivered with the most delicious, beautifully presented, brunch spread accompanied by some of the best brunch cocktails I have ever tasted! His hosting and ability to cater to the energy of the occasion, while being very professional was also a huge plus. My fiance and I intend to hire Chef Nicholas for our upcoming engagement dinner. I recommend him for any special occasion!
