Chef Peter was not our chef this night. Our chef casually mentioned having prepared one of the dishes only once before, and one would expect the lead of the class to have a bit more expertise than a singular attempt. I enjoyed each dish and have good memories from the class, but the instruction was tasteless.

It was a great class and all the chefs were really sweet, talented, and helpful. The evening class just felt rushed and not like a date despite the class being named that. We were done 30mins earlier than scheduled and I didn't have time to register any of the steps since we were moved along so quickly and at times was more a bit stressed rather than relaxed as I would hope to be on a date night.

Had a lovely time getting hands on with making pizzas! Appreciate the guidance and tips and tricks to bring that high quality pizza home. Chef Peter did a great job balancing kitchen protocols and 2 hour pretend chefs.

Most of the class was focused on seeing the demo of the dishes being made. It would have been nice to make one complete dish by ourselves so we could make it at home - for example, pad Thai noodles were made by us but pad Thai sauce was made by chef. It would have been nice to know how to make a complete dish by ourselves.

We had a fun evening cooking delicious food! Chef Julia made us feel welcome and did a great job explaining how to cook each portion of the meal. Scallops, Risotto and Souffle were all delicious!

Such a great class with Chef Julia. And the results were delicious!

It was so much fun & interactive. The food we cooked was delicious. The chef was nice and answered any questions we had. Only reason we rate it 4 stars is because for a group of 7 they only gave us 2 portions. Having an extra portion would have been nice so that we could all partake in the cooking process.

I enjoyed the class. The desserts were tasty. I had thought we were making all three recipes, but the chef ended up making one of them which was time-consuming. It might have been nicer to include one that wasn't as time-consuming so we could have three hands-on bakes. I have not received the recipes as yet, but since they were affected by the global IT outage, I'm not worried about that yet.

I suppose I was expecting to have more time to learn about the pasta making. By dividing into groups and not providing the recipe, it felt quite rushed. I wish cozymeal would offer more classes that are in depth over date night excursions.

Great chef, great teacher! We had an amazing time and learned a lot. There’s something for everyone; Chef Peter is a natural teacher. My highest recommendation! Also, the delicious results didn’t hurt. ;)

Not quite as expected, including no Chef Peter. While the evening was fun and we learned some things, the Chef and the kitchen were disorganized with recipes, equipment, etc.

I had the pleasure of a Thai style meal with the Resident Chef. It was fun, educational, delicious and I had a good time meeting the couple at the same table. I learned how to make Phad Thai, a curry soup, and a steak salad. The chef was very engaging and making sure we were following directions while also encouraging us to find the right balance of the ingredients. People would ask " how much pepper to use?' and the reply was something like "add to your taste" , allowing us to creatively make the meal.

It was not Chef Peter. It felt haphazard and not well prepared or planned. For the amount of money I spent, I’m honestly disappointed.
