This was a great experience. We didn’t know until we were on our way that would be doing this at the chefs home. This only made it a better experience. The way these two open their home to you and give you a restaurant type of experience was really fun. Would recommend!

Chef Washington was so accommodating and helpful. I'd never rolled sushi or created a roll before and he was a great teacher. My partner was running late and he was flexible and made sure he was caught up and able to get the full experience. The sushi was great and the family atmosphere was very wholesome. Definitely an experience I'd recommend to anyone.

Chef Washington was super friendly, very polite, professional, and created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everything was relaxed and approachable, we got to learn more about a cuisine style we did not know beforehand. We had a great time with our class, he really got us engaged in the cooking and opened up the conversation.

Received this experience as a gift, didn’t know what to expect but had such a good time. It’s like cooking with family. Chef gave directions as we worked through preparation and then sat together to eat. This was in his home. So welcoming and comfortable. You will see us again.

My wife and I had a great time. We learned a few new tricks, had a great meal and face to face conversation with complete strangers. I was worried at first thinking that entering someone's house for a cooking class would be awkward. But it felt very relaxed and welcoming in Chef Washington's home. We will definitely be doing this again.

We booked a cooking class with Chef Washington to celebrate my husbands birthday, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The moment we stepped into his home, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed, setting the tone for a fun and engaging evening.
The class was well-organized, and we all split into different stations to learn different parts of an authentic home-cooked Southern meal. The hands-on approach made the process enjoyable for everyone, whether you’re experienced in the kitchen or just learning. Chef Washington’s passion for cooking was evident, and his sous chef, Jane, was equally fantastic—super personable, helpful, and a great addition to the experience.
The food we made was delicious—each dish had that perfect balance of cozy, home-cooked comfort with the quality you’d expect from a-restaurant. The flavors were rich, and every bite felt like true Southern hospitality on a plate. It was the kind of meal that warms your soul. From the perfectly seasoned proteins to the indulgent sides, everything came together beautifully, making the experience even more rewarding.Not only was the food delicious, but the entire night felt like a perfect mix of learning and fun. It was such a unique way to celebrate instead of just going out to dinner.
The home was clean and inviting, and the overall atmosphere, along with chefs dog Charlie made the experience even better. We absolutely loved our time and would do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for something different, engaging, and delicious to do with friends, this is it. 100% recommend!

Every moment was filled with laughter and excitement as we discovered new skills and reveled in the magic of teamwork. Under Chef Washington's masterful guidance, we came together to create a truly delicious meal that we could all be proud of! His teaching and patience made this experience unforgettable.

We had a grand time learning how to make Paella, Albondigas, Egg Tortilla and Delicious Flan! Chef Larson Washington gave us clear directions and made us feel very welcome and adventurous in his kitchen. He's an excellent teacher and knows how to ask great questions to keep the conversation going.
The food was delightful, though still my favorite was the flan. We hope to use his recipes to entertain our friends. I had never made meatballs, so that I learned that, and also liked his style of cleaning up as you go. I highly recommend his classes!

Don't hesitate to book an experience with Chef Washington. We did his Rush of Spanish Flavors class and it was incredibly fun, engaging and also tasty. He ensured everyone was involved, taught us lessons along the way and kept enquiring on our experience as the night went along to ensure we were all having a good time. 10/10 I will book again.

Chef was so welcoming! He had everything prepped and ready to go. It was basically a private class for me & my husband. We Learned how to cook an entire meal which included a paella, torta, albondigas, and a flan for dessert. Delicioso! We ate our masterpieces and even brought home leftovers to enjoy. Chef Washington was knowledgeable, a very patient instructor and you could tell how much he enjoys teaching.
Would love to take another class with him!

Chef Washington did a great job of making feel at ease immediately upon arrival. He provided all the ingredients and did a great job helping us all feel part of the cooking experience. There were 4 of us, and of the 4, 2 were experienced and 2 were no and he did a great job adjusting to our individual knowledge levels. And so much food! I'm glad I read the earlier reviews to bring containers for leftovers. Definitely would recommend Chef Washington!
Selena

Chef Washington opened his home and kitchen to us ( we have always cooked in a store kitchen before). This really made it feel like we were cooking with a friend and we enjoyed every bit of it. Will definitely sign up for another class!

Walking in was a bit intimidating because the menu was something I always enjoyed eating but never knew how to make myself. The initial meet and greet was a nice ice breaker. Chef Washington made sure everyone was engaged and there was something for all to do in a timely manner. The signage at the entrance before departing was also a nice touch. Overall, great experience!
Thanks Chef.

If you're thinking of booking any experience with Chef Washington just do it! He taught my husband and I so much in just 1 cooking class, and we all prepared a fabulous meal with tons of leftovers. I admittedly am not great in the kitchen, but Chef Washington made me feel confident and accomplished. Chef Washington is a wonderful teacher, host and cook. We can't wait to book with him again!

Chef Washington did a great job with adjusting the menu to accommodate our various dietary restrictions! the intro ice breaker was a great way to start the evening. Chef made sure we all had tasks and were contributing to the meal. I do wish that cozy meal was a bit more clear from the start that when you select the option to host in your own home there is going to be a lot of clean up once the meal is over. Luckily our team did a good job working together and no one was left to do it all themselves.

Chef Washington was awesome from start to finish. He was so warm and friendly and so fun to work with. He did a great job of explaining each step and assigning out multiple tasks and checking our work throughout. He was a delight to visit with and the food was amazing. Bring to go containers! He was kind in packaging ours up and we have left overs for dayzzzz!
Would definitely recommend and will hire him again for future events and classes.

Chef Washington and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. He promptly replied to questions before our arrival and offered alternatives to accommodate a peach allergy. We chose the Soulful Southern cooking class to try a new spin on dishes we already enjoy and learn a few professional tips. He had great energy and the conversation flowed naturally. He also did a good job explaining how to make the food, and we were able to taste everything as we made it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun evening and a gourmet meal!

Chef Washington curated an amazing experience! My wife and I chose his course because we love to cook and his menus go above and beyond standard fare. Everything we made/ate was eHe surprised us a with an additional dish of fried catfish (one of my favorites) and paired our meals with a perfect zinfandel.
We had an amazing time and learned a lot in the process. I can’t recommend him enough and my wife and I are looking forward to trying one of his other menus in the future!

I am sad to post a negative review, but I think other customers need to know what happened to us before choosing to book their own experience. I wish I had spent more time vetting Cozymeal before spending a lot of money on what ended up being an expensive disappointment. Bottom line, our instructor was friendly, but there were several important misses in our experience. A serious food allergy ignored. Concerns regarding food handling safety. Dishes that were not aligned with the cuisine. Incomplete dishes. We booked this for six adults as a private cooking class. It did not, in any of our opinions, live up to Cozymeal’s promise to deliver an “exceptional service” experience produced by a “certified chef.” I reached out directly to Cozymeal regarding our concerns but received no response other than to say they would look into it. There was no follow-up after that. Cozymeal buyers beware.

Chef Washington did an awesome job on our meal! It was delicious and such a good representation of PNW foods. We hired him to make a meal for a work function which was held in an airbnb - so there were some unknown elements regarding what would be in the kitchen. He did a great job of planning for the unknowns and being flexible when something was supposed to have been there but was not. He also did a great job of cooking on the island part of the kitchen while we were all around him in the kitchen and dining room. I cannot recommend him enough! And for my fellow Bainbridge Islanders - he did say he would consider coming to the island!

We had a fantastic evening with Chef Washington - with just the two of us there was plenty to do and he was extremely easy to get along with! We also appreciated that he made a packet with the instructions and ingredients so we could cook the dishes ourselves at home (we did and it was delicious!)
All-in-all would recommend!
Angela

Chef Washington was friendly, fun and informative! A middle school Culinary Arts teacher by day, and works at a restaurant on the weekends, his knowledge was clear and his passion and patience for teaching made him a valuable leader in the kitchen. I gained new Thai cooking skills, ate great food, and enjoyed all the good company at hand! Chef generously sent us home with ample leftovers at the end, would highly suggest!
Margarita
06 Sep 2023
We had a fantastic experience at Chef Washington's cooking class. Throughout the session, we gained a lot of new culinary knowledge. It was pleasantly surprising that we had the opportunity to prepare even more dishes than what was initially planned on the menu. The entire cooking process was incredibly enjoyable, and the gesture of presenting flowers to the ladies at the end added a delightful touch. We highly recommend this experience!
Ellington
28 Aug 2023
I bought this class for my second anniversary knowing nothing about Cozymeal or Chef Washington. The class turned out to be amazing. Chef was welcoming, friendly, and brought a comforting atmosphere. He teaches cooking in middle school so it was second nature being a leader in the kitchen for him. Chef always had something for everyone to do, and made it essential that everybody got a try at cooking. He also had a dog named Charlie who I found adorable.
At the end, (as awesome as I think he is) I liked that we ate without Chef. It gave the class a chance to connect a little bit. Maybe I only liked it because the other couple was a pleasure as well.
All in all, Chef Washington is a great teacher, cook, and host. And I would recommend him to any person.

First Cozymeal experience, and my bf and I really enjoyed our time with Chef Washington! He provided with aprons and name tags, took time to do introductions and share fun facts, then he walked through the menu. I was really excited for this class as I haven't dabbled in cooking French cuisine, and his kindness and approachability made it much easier to jump in.
It was just the three of us in the kitchen, and Chef Washington was very good at checking in, gauging our interests, delegating, and supporting. With a small group, we were all staying busy and it was really engaging to cook. He gave us tips and tricks along the way for cooking and we chatted throughout the night about life, interests, and food.
The meal was so good and it was rewarding that we helped cook it. The chicken fricassee and mushroom gravy were absolutely delicious. The chicken fell right off the bone. We also made an extra dish, as he made the pate ahead of time due to the time constraints. I loved the pate; while basic ingredients, the labor of love and technique to build flavor was evident here. YUM. This exceeded any expectation I had. Thanks for hosting us, Chef Washington!
Tips:
- bring a water bottle and stay hydrated throughout the experience. Chef offered us bottled water he had in the fridge, but even with 3 of us, we were losing track of which bottle was whose.
- bring your own to-go containers, in case you have any leftovers you'd like to take. Chef generously gave one of his big containers and some ziplocs.

10/10 experience! Felt so welcome in his home- the food was incredible! Chef Washington’s whole vibe was so chill we felt right at home! The food was so good and so much we could barely finish it even though we wanted to keep eating! He really let us do our own thing throughout the recipe! Extra bonus: the dog Charlie was super cute!

While the food tasted great, especially the confit chicken from Chef Larson and the apple tarts that we made, I felt like this experience in comparison to some of the others that I've had on CozyMeal fell short in a few ways:
- Kitchen floor felt dirty/grimy (Slippers should have been provided)
- No aprons (Should probably have been provided for all the splatter on our clothes from the oil)
- Experience felt haphazard and a bit disorganized
- Our names were confused basically the entire experience (name tags were definitely needed)
- Because we were switching between so many stations, it might have made more sense to provide us with disposable kitchen gloves so we didn't have to wash our hands so many times when switching from say touching chicken to touching veggies. Or just...more tongs.
I think out of the whole experience, the only thing I got out of it was making a roux as that was the only station I was at long enough to finish what I was doing. We were shifted around so many times that it was hard to stay focused on what we're doing and learning.
To make the experience better, I believe the Chef should either provide the slippers/gloves/aprons or possibly let the customers know beforehand to bring those on their own.

Chef Washington was friendly and a wonderful host. We signed up for the French cooking class, and the chef welcomed us into his lovely home. He had prepared some snacks and wine from the appetizer portion of the menu, so we could chat and get comfortable as we prepared to cook.
Chef Washington was great about making sure everybody had something to do and felt included, and had us pause a few times to taste what we were preparing. In addition to the recipe, he taught us a few basic techniques that I think we'll all find useful going forward. When we finished, he had us sit down at the table with some wine and served us the fabulous meals we helped to cook.
I can definitely recommend the experience! We had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and the food was amazing. Thank you again!

This was the most amazing experience I've ever had in the kitchen! The chef was not only an highly talented instructor (you need patience with me LOL) but he was so efficient in everything that the kitchen was spotless again once the meal was done! PLUS the food tasted AMAZING! Absolutely an experience I'd love to do again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Chef Washington’s culinary vision for the surf and turf served a well-rounded and thoughtful experience. He makes an excellent host - Our group has a range of cooking skills but all participated and felt welcomed. Thank you chef!

Chef was hospitable. Home was clean. Experience felt disorganized, lacking preparation. It was as if we were the first customers to attend this experience for this chef.

Very nice guy. This was his first class and he has some kinks to work out, The concept is great and we had a really fun group of people. Having the ingredients cleaned, trimmed and prepped ahead of time would have made the cooking more efficient. Explaining each course and how it is prepared to everyone would have been better than assigning each person to a task. Have guests being their own aprons.
