FUN, FUN, FUN! Great cooking class in NYC. If you are looking for a fun, delicious and educational cooking class in NYC, I would definitely recommend Cozymeal's Chef Michael. Thank you Cozymeal & Chef Michael.
Jess N.
Chef Michael is a great instructor of Italian cuisine. His class focused on technique which I loved because we learned how to perfectly cook pasta and fish. The risotto was a standout for me with its rich and vibrant color and warming and delicious flavors.
Crystal R.
Chef Michael was a wonderful teacher and learning to cook from him was a great experience. However, the location was not ideal as it provided very little-no heat on a cold winter evening.

Chef Michael is a really interactive instructor and definitely learned a lot from his class! The appetizer (Roasted Dates Wrapped in Bacon) was really simple to prepare but a really delicious combo. The Spanish roasted chicken had a lot of components and was filling and a good blend of flavors. Lastly the dessert was the perfect ending to the meal.

Chef was accommodating to dietary needs. My party and I enjoyed the experience. Wish it was a little longer but over all good. I thought there was going to be more hands on or techniques for everything, but instead, everyone did a little bit of everything. So instead of me learning how brown the chicken should be, I was cutting up apples instead. I wish the food was warm by the time we ate it. (Wasn’t as warm by the time we got to sit an eat) Good experience over all though!

My partner and I booked this class for a lunch date and it was a fun and informative experience. Chef Michael taught us knife skills, and let us handle all the cooking hands on so we can actually learn. Definitely book this class if you want a new and interesting experience for a date or hangout.

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time learning how to cook with Chef Michael. It was a lot of fun making pasta from scratch, and the recipes were so delicious -- it was clear there was a lot of thought put into the menu. Chef brought all the ingredients we needed, and as long as you have pots and plates, you should be all set. Chef Michael is also fun and easy to talk to. A great experience all around. Would highly recommend!

Went to New York for the US Open and just happened to add on a personal cooking experience with Chef Michael. Left New York blown away by the cooking experience and was definitely the highlight of the trip. My date and I were the only individuals to sign up for the Taste of Southern Italy class, which made it even more intimate. Chef Michael treated us to an evening full of Jazz music while offering up his personal experiences, tricks of the trade, and brilliant cooking methods. I am by no means a cook; however, my date loves to cook and had numerous questions that Chef Michael was more than happy/pleased to answer. It's not possible to 'geek out' enough in front of him, he takes everything in stride. He offered tips/corrections/food safety that was done in a non-condescending way making you feel completely at ease while in a professional kitchen, which can be intimidating. Everything was made from scratch, including the pasta (so ignore previous reviews that suggest otherwise). He personally made sure each of the wine glasses were topped off throughout the evening. The meal itself was incredibly flavorful. I honestly couldn't believe I had just prepared and cooked the meal I was eating, it was that good. When the meal was over, and Chef Michael had cleaned up all of the messes/dishes, he continued to chat it up and encouraged us to stick around as long as we liked. When he states he does this for the personal experiences and interactions, he truly means it. Cooking with Chef Michael is highly recommended.

From the moment we arrived, Chef Michael created an unbelievable experience. Hands on in a professional kitchen down to dicing ingredients yourself, plating techniques and an open book of knowledge from world wide experiences. Showed how enjoyable cooking really can be and not sure how you can find a better all around evening.

Had a fellow foodie/home chef visiting from Australia so we decided a NYC cooking class would be great. We were in for a treat it was just the two of us in the class. Chef Michael was incredible, clearly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his love and experience with food from the world over. A very hands on class and we did everything (prepping and cooking) with a keen focus on honing technique under the skilled guidance of Chef Michael. Consider the 5 Star rating 'Michelin' Stars - best class I have taken and won't be the last of Chef Michael's - that's for sure!

Chef Michael was phenomenal. You could really tell just how experienced he was. He made sure we understood technique while he taught us and it wasn't overwhelming at all. He tested our knowledge in a very casual way and made it very easy to learn with him! It was a great time. I had an amazing first experience as this was my very first cooking class with CozyMeal. I will definitely be booking him again.

I took my fiancee for her birthday and we had a really fun and memorable time with Chef Michael for his Greek cooking class. He's got loads of worldly cooking experience and really knows his stuff! We learned a nice variety of cooking techniques, from simple veggie prep to grilling fish and even baking filo dough. As a couple that cooks semi regularly at home, we felt like this was a perfect skill level for the class. He's really thoughtful and you can tell he absolutely loves doing this, which shows in his enthusiasm. He was happy to answer any amount of questions and our whole group had a really great experience. Would absolutely do more classes with Chef Michael/Cozymeal in the future!

We had a great time at the class! At first, we were a little skeptical because it was in an unfamiliar area in a closed restaurant. Chef Michael met us outside and led us to the kitchen, where everything was laid out perfectly. We brought wine, and he had glasses ready and poured it for us before we got started. He also offered us delicious cookies before we began. Then, we started cooking! We each made our own dish for each course, and Chef Michael was helpful but not too overbearing at all. The cooking seemed to go by very quickly because Chef Michael timed it all so well. He was also very fun to talk to about his travels, things he cooks, and favorite restaurants in the city. Then, we ate. The food was DELICIOUS! And it was very cool to sit and eat in a restaurant being renovated - it felt very exclusive and cool. Chef Michael did not rush us and he did all the clean up while we ate. It was overall a great experience and surpassed my expectations. Much more fun than a typical cooking class and very hands on.

Chef Michael was extremely knowledgeable and did an amazing job managing 4 couples and getting us through a three-course meal in an hour and 45 minutes! He even had macaroons for us at the beginning, which I thought was a considerate gesture. The only reason I give this a 4 rather than a 5 was that I felt a little rushed and like he wanted us to leave at the end. I personally did not like the salad that we created but that may be just my preference. Over all, I had a great time and felt that it was worth every penny spent. The conversation with the other couples there was great, and I would recommend this to anybody looking for a neat experience in New York.

We had a WONDERFUL experience learning from Chef Michael. He was professional, patient, and enthusiastic about his craft. We’ve all been to several cooking classes and kept saying how unique, personal, and relaxed this cooking class felt. Our food was delicious and we came home happy and full. The flavors were rich and the recipes were new to us but also not unbelievable technical - we all felt like we’d be able to replicate the recipes at home which was a great takeaway from this evening, too! We highly recommend this experience!!!

We had a small group (2 couples), which was awesome. We made a delicious meal and broadened my horizon in terms of foods to cook with. I would recommend this for a date night or if you just want to learn more about cooking!

It was great! We had wonderful time with Chef Michael. Class was organized in "currently closed" under renovation restaurant in professional kitchen. I loved that we weren't split in groups and there were plenty to do and learn. Menu was easy, but delicious.

We had the absolute BEST time cooking with Chef Michael! He was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the food we were cooking, where it comes from, and how to best prepare it. He also taught some pretty cool knife skills (one of our favorite parts, haha! ). And the FOOD, so delicious ! We definitely ran to the market soon after to buy some of the new things we tried. Cooking with Chef Michael was a SUPERB time, we definitely recommend it !

Had a great time taking Chef Michael cooking class! Definitely a good experience being able to cook in a commercial kitchen then enjoy the fruits of your labor within the restaurant. He keeps it simple so you can follow on your own at home...we've already recreated these dishes at home twice just a week after!

My husband and I really enjoyed our class with Chef Michael! We received this class as a gift and were unsure what to expect but Chef Michael turned it into an awesome experience. He taught us techniques to use at home and all the food came out delicious. We would highly recommend his courses to anyone looking to gain a little culinary knowledge or just to have a fun night out.

Fun experience- great menu and great company! Super cool location. Not a ton of "teaching" or skills shared by Chef Michael unless you asked- still a very nice and fun teacher!
Booked the class Exploring the South of Italy with Chef Michael in Manhattan (Chinatown)
We came with a group of 8 people. While we all had a nice time, and chef Michael was very kind and welcoming, the learning experience was a bit of a disappointment. One menu item consisted of caprese, which literally required us to chop a tomato, basil, and mozzarella. The main dish was a pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe. We thought we'd be handmaking the pasta. Instead we just poured store bought pasta in the pot. This felt more like a cook letting you help them in the kitchen versus an actual cooking class. Enjoyable experience, but hardly a lesson.
