We learned 3 different recipes for ramen, and all 3 were so good!! Wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back for the other recipe classes. So good!!

Unfortunately, this was not a hands on cooking class. The way the event was advertised made it seem like a traditional cooking class where you get a recipe, prep your ingredients, and cook alongside the instructor. This class is more of a cooking demonstration, with the opportunity to flip some chicken or add a few ingredients to the one dish the instructor is prepping. The instructor was very nice and the food was good, but it was more of a social mixer with people cooking for you. If we would have known that we weren’t actually doing the cooking ourselves, we would not have booked it.

We cooked an amazing Italian 4 course meal. My favorite thing was learning the tidbits of cooking and feeling like I was in a safe inclusive environment. It was clean, intimate and I really enjoyed this unique experience. Chef L was a big part of the reason it was great, he was funny, smart, & made things simple and enjoyable.

The Mediterranean cuisine that we cooked was absolutely delicious. There was so much flavor. Chef Washington not only showed us some valuable cooking skills, but was outgoing and engaging throughout the process. I highly recommend taking a cooking class with Chef Washington. You won’t regret it.

This was a very fun experience given to me by my daughter as a Christmas gift.
We cooked Mediterranean fare and ate like Queens. This was a fun cooking lesson and a delicious meal.
This would be a great girls night out or even a date night for a couple.
I learned a lot of delicious ways to flavor my food with spices instead of salt.

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.

We cooked an Italian meal - Risotto with shrimp, salmon, mussels, and scallops; a pork Rague, brown butter sauce with sage on spaghetti. Dessert was a panna cotta. All the food was absolutely delicious. Chef Washington was very fun to work with and did a great job of having the group introduce themselves and work together. I think it is food that I can make myself. A very fun evening!

We did the French cooking class with Chef Washington. It was an absolute blast! When we arrived, he had all the ingredients laid out in an organized manner that make cooking the meal fun, easy, and informative. We also got to take home any of the food we didn't eat. Chef Jane was also very knowledgeable, funny, and added positive energy to the class. It felt more like cooking (and eating) a delicious dinner with new friends than it did an intense cooking class, which I really enjoyed. Also, shoutout to Chef Charlie (his dog) for the furry company.
Collette

We learned so many things! Learned how to roll sushi, which I had never done before. How to fold and roll spring rolls, which was really cool. And the sauce for the noodles dish was absolutely unbelievably delicious. He was an incredible teacher and very patient with the twelve year old in our group as well as distracted adults! This was such a fun night. Great idea for a date night but we did it with a friend's family which was so much fun! And truly, the meal was hands down better than you would get at most restaurants.

Recently our Seattle team had the pleasure of enjoying a meal prepared by a truly wonderful chef. From the moment the first dish was served, it was clear that this chef is not only skilled but passionate about their craft. Chef Washington was attentive to dietary preferences and made personalized adjustments, ensuring that every guest felt valued and cared for. Each course was a masterpiece, both visually and in taste. Everyone was very pleased with how delicious this meal was. We definitely will be using him again in the future.

Chef Washington was very warm and welcoming, but also informative and professional while walking us through preparing an Italian dinner of seafood risotto, brown butter spaghetti with a pork belly tomato sauce. For dessert, we made a Panna Cotta. He took his time teaching us technique while also engaging us in meaningful conversation. We recommend Chef Washington’s class to anyone looking for an enjoyable, stress free, yet thorough cooking experience.

Chef Washington was a fantastic teacher! He and Chef Jane brought so passion to every aspect of the class. We made Tom Yum, Phad See Ew, Crying Tiger Steak, and Mango sticky rice. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared and the food was definitely some of the best thai food I've ever had. I would recommend this class to anyone with taste buds and anyone who wants to take their cooking to the next level. I will definitely be looking for more classes from these two.

Our family of four chose to learn to prepare the Everyday Elegance menu. Chefs Larsen (Washington) and Jane were well prepared for us. The kitchen was ready to go, with stations well set up for each menu item. The ingredients were beautifully fresh and of very high quality. The chefs were very pleasant and engaging, and instructions were very clear, with fun facts and good in depth explanations on why we did things a certain way. The pace was just right - neither rushed nor slow. We were encouraged to taste as we cooked. The meal was served on an elegantly set table and each course was truly delicious. Over our meal we discussed the whole process, and everyone had a chance to weigh in. We went home with a wonderful set of recipes and are ready to cook each item again soon!! A great experience from start to finish - Thank you!!

This sushi cooking class incorporated a full range of delights: spring rolls, noodles and vegetable mix, sushi wraps and matcha drink. The class takes place in a private home; the chef is energetic and personable. The hands-on learning gave each participant (three teenagers and two grandparents) an interactive experience. Each of us delighted in the tastes of our own interests without the chef being overbearing on how we were cooking. This provided some individuality to the class. One participant was a vegan and the chef made special accommodations for her. The best learning our family had was to not be timid about trying different foods and to openly explore cooking styles.

We had a fantastic time! Our chefs were incredibly welcoming and wonderfully organized, making the entire experience so enjoyable. Not only did we learn how to prepare delicious sushi, but we also had a blast making fresh spring rolls and a flavorful garlic noodle dish. Every moment was fun, engaging, and truly memorable.

The chef Washington and his assistant Jane were awesome. We had an absolutely wonderful cooking class at our home. From the moment it started, everything was well organized. The chef was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and made us feel comfortable getting involved. Our kitchen was left spotless, we learned a lot, and most importantly, we had a fantastic time. We’d absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable, hands-on cooking experience at home. The Mexican food was super yummy. Absolutely recommend!!!

We all loved cooking the risotto! The pork ragu was a bit weird and bland. The dessert was amazing! Overall, my group had a wonderful time and loved the experience.
Sierra

We had a fabulous night at Chef Washington’s home! We learned how to make seafood risotto, brown butter pasta with a short rib rue, and the most delicious pancetta. He was a great conversationalist throughout the learning process & Jane, his partner was equally as amazing/fun! We planned this date night to step out of our comfort zones but Chef Washington made us comfortable in his own home, taught us new skills, and let us take our leftovers home. Recommend to anyone seeking a new skill or activity near Seattle!

I took Chef Washington’s Soulful Southern Classics class. The material was well-organized and the flow a good pace that wasn’t daunting for someone new to Southern cooking. Chef Washington was great at customizing the details to personal preferences. Southern cooking is now more manageable thanks to his kind guidance.

We had such a a great time making sushi. I had made sushi in the past on my own, but I legitimately left this class with new learned skills and techniques that no amount of youtube videos could've provided. My sushi looks so much better now.

Thank you chef Washington!
I lovely evening learning the process of multiple Thai dishes. So much thought and care put into the evening by the chef in the comfort of his own home. Fantastic experience from start to finish in a warm, welcoming and clean setting. By the end, I felt confident I could do it again on my own! To top it off, it was my birthday and was so elated to see them bring a cake out for desert. What a special gift and I am so thankful to chef Washington for such a memorable evening. The world needs more people like this. To anyone on the fence about booking an evening class, just say yes, Chef and go!

Chef Washington was a gracious host who taught us how to prepare Moraccan food. We made a rou for the couscous with vegetables, sauteed chicken strips, and made a lemon cake. The lamb fell off the bone, and when paired with the couscous, was excellent. We also had some mint tea, which was fabulous. We enjoyed the company and the food. An overall excellent experience.

We had an amazing evening , thanks to chef Washington. I had requested him for a dinner for me and my husband and he didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing and so was the conversation. We opted for his Spanish menu with some modifications which he accommodated without any issue. We loved the paella and chicken meat balls , the flan was divine. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a low key casual date night at home with amazing food.

We had a great time at our cooking experience. We felt very welcome in his home, and the food was fantastic. The chicken adobo was amazingly flavorful. We wished we would have been able to help with a little bit more of the prep work, but understand that there is not time for everything. We loved that we were able to bring the recipes home, and we look forward to recreating them at home. Thank you to Chef Washington and Jane for a great experience.

Chef Washington was so generous to let us into his home for a cooking class! The food was hearty, huge portions, and so delicious. We loved that he made it not stressful, but we were still able to learn a lot and take home skills for future cooking. He had everything prepped, so we really got to focus on the cooking and methods. He was friendly and made us feel comfortable. The kitchen was big and he had everything we needed. We appreciated being able to sit down with him after and eat together! Thank you Chef!!!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying an incredible at-home Italian dining experience, and I can’t stop raving about it! From start to finish, Chef Washington brought warmth, professionalism, and authentic Italian flavors right into his kitchen.
Every course was thoughtfully prepared—from seafood risotto to brown butter pasta with sage and the most decadent vanilla bean panna cotta I’ve ever had. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the aromas alone made the evening feel like a cozy night in Tuscany.
Not only was the food extraordinary, but the chef’s passion for Italian cuisine truly shone through. He shared cooking tips, stories behind the dishes, and made us feel like honored guests in his own home.
If you’re looking for a unique and delicious culinary experience, I wholeheartedly recommend his class. It’s more than a meal—it’s a memory you’ll savor long after the last bite.

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!

What an absolutely breathtaking experience! All eight of us were swept away by the joy of cooking alongside the incredible Chef Washington and the delightful Jane. 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!

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.

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!

We enjoyed every moment and learned so much. This was the perfect date night and will definitely work with him again.
Thanks for your expertise Chef Washington!

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!

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!

All-in-all would recommend!

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!

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!

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.

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!

Oh, so many negatives that way out way the few positives. First, the, “chef,” cancelled day of our class with just a few hours before start. We rescheduled, I got sick and had to reschedule again. Day of class he asked if we wanted to change time.
I wasn’t aware that the class was being held in his home. The kitchen didn’t seem clean, nothing matched, cooking oil was old, he wasn’t feeling well and rushed us through everything. After we were rushed through the cooking process he rudely rushed us through dinner.
He complained the whole time about feeling sick and he showed signs of being sick. (Coughing, sneezing, running nose, etc…) He had no patience while instructing, again, rushed us through.
He had to many irons in the fire. During our class a person came to his front door. This person was there to AirB and B a room from him, during the cooking class I paid top dollar for!
After cooking, which only took 30-40 mins., we sat down to eat. He continued to cough, sneeze, yawn and complain about getting sick and being so tired. He had the nerve to sit at the end of the dinner table, get on his phone and put his feet up on a dinning chair with only socks on! We rushed through dinner to stop hearing him go
complaining and get out of there. We were all down in less than 70 mins.
I will not recommended him or Cozymeal to anyone. This was a complete waste of my time, a lot of money, gas to get there and our time. So much more negative, just tired of thinking about it anymore. It wouldn’t salvage what was to be a special date night, but a full refund would be the very least the company could do to TRY to make up this huge disappointment.

Was bummed to have the experience we had. Chef Washington was distracted by a football game and was doing his best to get us out of there as soon as possible which meant I would do one dish and my guest did another dish and he also did much of the cooking himself and we both did not learn all the dishes. The whole process was super rushed. All of the recipes were altered and not what we paid for. The risotto was the best part of the meal even though it was a seafood risotto, not a mushroom risotto. Chef Washington overcooked the pork (not pork chops) in the oven which made them super chewy. He rushed cooking the butter, which meant it was not actually brown butter, and the pan was too hot when putting in the scallops which ended up being burned and over cooked - all per his instructions - and they also were not good. He also instructed me to stop whipping the cream too early for the tiramisu and he added way too much rum - an entire little bottle, which was way more than the recipe called for, so not only was the tiramisu visibly watery and runny, it tasted like pure alcohol. The entire experience was disappointing. He was clearly distracted watching tv, visibly tired, and rushing us out. Another note, he must have said "seriously" like 100 times in the night to every single thing any of us said which got slightly annoying by the end of the night - he clearly was not actually listening to us when we responded to questions he asked us. When we posed the experience to cozy meal expressing our disappointment - he acknowledged the challenges and understand our concerns and we got a partial refund which was also disappointed as I believe a full refund was warranted. I would not book with him again.

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.

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.

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.
