What You’ll Do

It is said that variety is the spice of life.

This is especially true in a culinary sense as properly-prepared sauces breath flavorful new life into each meal. In a welcoming class environment free from intimidation, Chef Eric bring his professional background to provide you the insights to add that extra bit of sumptuousness to each dish, whether it be in the form of small bites, sides, main courses, and beyond! Enjoy classic favorites like macaroni and cheese, steamed vegetables, and your choice of chicken or fish to make for a truly mouthwatering experience.

Your class begins by learning to make the Mother Sauces; creamy béchamel, luscious veloute, delicious hollandaise, and zesty basil pesto sauce. Your experience continues with creating scrumptious green olive and caper tapenade, savory roasted eggplant and garlic sauce, appetizing Mediterranean tamarind-almond sauce, spicy Indian-style tomato-onion sauce and tantalizing Asian-style sesame sauce.

Please note that the eating portion of this class will be towards the end of the class.
Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

We had a wonderful time! Chef Eric is definitely who you want to have for a cooking class! Equal parts helpful and equal parts wanting you to do it which is a great combination. Absolutely recommend and the food for the Spanish cooking class was delicious!

Chef Eric was very nice and informative. However, one thing to maybe improve upon... every couple or pair of people get to cook one portion of the meal, except the two people who make the spring rolls. If you are the chosen ones to make those then everyone else gets to stop by your station and try/take over. I thought it was pretty unfair that I couldn't stop by someone else's station and start cooking/preparing their dish when that was done to me. Chef Eric was nice enough to encourage us to watch other parts of the process but it truly left a bad taste in my mouth to be disturbed by the other people during the experience portion of the class that I paid to do.

We had an amazing experience cooking with Chef Eric. He was personable, funny, through and very knowledgeable. We have taken cooking classes all over California, as well as in Europe and Chef Eric's class stands out as one of the best.

Great class! Eric is very personable and seems to enjoy teaching. Our class had multiple groups doing multiple recipes, but he managed it all without a sweat. Also great to get recipes that are practical and learn some general tips that could apply to other recipes. Definitely recommend going with a friend or two to make it the most enjoyable.

It was not the class I expected. We were too many people and we watched for a very long time before we cooked. Didnt felt like I was participating. The chef is very nice and competent.

Lovely evening with interesting people and an enthusiastic Chef Eric to lead the preparation of a entertaining and delicious meal. Both my husband and I enjoyed the Gourmet Date Night and actually learned several cooking strategies as we worked in Cozymeal's efficient and organized kitchen. Thank you for a well spent Friday night!

What a fun way to spend the day! Felt very welcome from the moment I walked in, being greated by Chef Eric's lovely wife. Learned the how-to basics and beyond; with some great general tips too. Chef Eric has high energy and his love of cooking and teaching comes thru in his excitement. I appreciate that, and in turn he made the whole experience great! You can't help but enjoy his classes. He is happy to answer questions and encourages them! I asked about a specific sauce - not on the set menu - and he gladly showed us how to make it. The location is nice, with lots of light, and an overall comfortable setting. A nice work area that encourages you to work alongside others. I'm going back for a Bread making class with Chef Eric in two weeks. I'm sure I'll be taking several more too; as he offers a wide array of classes. Thanks Chef... Looking forward to next time.

We really enjoyed the class! Chef Eric is enjoyable and extremely knowledgeable. The small class allowed us to get up close to his demonstrations. When we went into the kitchen to cook he was always available to answer questions and help with our knife skills. We’ll definitely return for another class or two!

Attended evening pizza class with 10 others. Great experience, great tips on making dough from scratch, prepared various recipes of sauces. Cut and cooked up veggies, chicken and shrimp for various toppings. We feasted on our creations at the end of class . I would highly recommend this as girls night out and the authentic pizza preparation education. I will definitely be back for another class. Chef Eric was super in answering all of our extra cooking questions for the novice. CL Newport

We really enjoyed the class! Chef Eric and his staff are so knowledgeable, helpful, and just super nice people. The recipes we cooked were delicious and I will absolutely make them again at home. It would have been helpful to know ahead of time that we wouldn't be eating anything until about 2 hours into the class; we would have been better prepared for a late dinner. Thanks for a great experience!

A would definitely recommend Chef Eric's cooking class. We had a busy enjoyable experience and cooked a delicious 4 course Italian meal. Chef Eric provides a safe comfortable learning environment, that suited me just right. As a kitchen newbie,I was a bit nervous, but within minutes I felt comfortable and with Chef Eric's guidance, I made a excellent chicken dish.

My boyfriend and I went to the couples cooking class on 7-21-17. it was AMAZING!! More than a class it was an experience. The food, the set up, the team, the tips and the ambiance were great! Half way thru the class I realized that I had been there 13 years ago for a team building event; and that event was what gave me the idea to look for a couples' class. I wanted to have fun, cook and learn with a great chef. Little I knew I was going back to the same place and had a second great experience! 100% recommended!!

Chef Eric, a master of his craft, was actively involved with every couple as we prepared our meal during our large couples class. He set all the right expectations, and inspired us to learn every detail, of every step, of the cooking course. Ultimately setting a great environment, preparing great food, and inspiring participation to have a great time! Thank you, Chef Eric!

Cozy meal Date Night turned out to be the perfect birthday gift for my husband who "has everything." He loved it and wants to come back from more classes. I even learned some new tricks - after 30+ of cooking at home! Chef Eric is terrific - a wonderful teacher and knows how to whip up the enthusiasm. The experience is intimate, educational, and delicious. And really fun.
