I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking experience with Chef Jarvis. He allowed our group to participate at our own level of comfort. He patiently explained all the ingredients, the process, and what he was doing. I look forward to cooking with him again ?

Chef Jarvis was easy going and fun to hang out with - he is the reason this date night will be so memorable for us for a long long time! I can’t recommend him enough, and I can’t wait for the next time we get to book with him.

Chef Jarvis was very knowledgeable and friendly and arrived on time. He said there would be an assistant for parties of 10 or more but our late addition of guests didn't give him enough time to find one who was available. He didn't communicate some rules in advance that affected our evening such as "no dogs allowed in the kitchen." So instead of being able to find a dog sitter we had to listen to them barking from the bedroom all evening. He also didn't help clean up after at all like he initially communicated, and he didn't communicate the amount of extra bowls and other dishes that would be required which we thankfully had available. Overall a good experience but would have liked better communication in advance about his rules for pets and what dishes would be necessary.

Chef Jarvis was beyond delightful! Our Best of the Pacific Rim meal was delicious and beautifully prepared. I was most impressed with his teaching skills, patience & kindness. He was great with my 17 year old- showing her how to safely use a knife and how to prep food. We all had a blast and I truly recommend Chef Jarvis.

We were and are immensely impressed with Chef Jarvis. Not only is he of a stellar culinary pedigree but he's multi-lingual, well-travelled, prompt, intensely professional, and is down-to-earth all at the same time. That's rather difficult to achieve for most. He made the in-home Cozymeal experience truly cozy and enjoyable for us. His personable charm and demeanor made us feel as if we were being catered to by the very best at what they do, and it is and was quickly evident that he is. I felt comfortable welcoming him into my home, and he was dropping pearls the entire session. I will never forget what it takes to achieve "Flavor Profile Building." He brings his entire self to work, and that is why he is able to perform in such an ultimate fashion. He taught us so much, and we are endlessly grateful. It was an honor to witness firsthand both how he teaches and how he works. Bravo, sir, and thanks again. Everything was so delicious!

Chef Jarvis was awesome! The "experience" was for booked for my son who REALLY wanted to learn how to make sushi. He and his friend really enjoyed working with Chef Jarvis and they said that the food was awesome; we are already getting helpful tips and requests to get the ingredients needed to remake the meal. Extra kudos to Chef Jarvis for working so well with teenagers :-)

Fantastic meal and experience! My wife and I had a wonderful time learning from Chef Jarvis. He accommodated a shellfish allergy and substituted in other fantastic ingredients. Best part was that he and his assistant took care of all the dishes and left the kitchen cleaner than when they arrived. Highly recommend him with any of his culinary classes!

Jane

Chef Jarvis was a great communicator from the start. I knew what to expect. Chef Jarvis came with an assistant who provided support and cleaned as we went along. Chef Jarvis had prepared the soup base and brought generous amounts of all fresh, mostly local ingredients. My husband and I enjoyed our kitchen time and learned cooking techniques while preparing a delicious and healthy meal. Chef Jarvis and Ashley left the kitchen as clean as when they arrived. A lovely evening!

We had a FABULOUS time with Chef Jarvis. This was my Valentine's Day gift to my spouse, John, and he enjoyed himself. IF you have never had a Chef to your home, then I would highly recommend Cozymeal's Chef Jarvis. He was very personable, and we had great conversation. Also, yes, we enjoyed learning how to make our very own sushi, right at home on a dreary/rainy Sunday afternoon. We will certainly use Chef Jarvis/Cozymeal in the future, and we will tell our friends/family.

Chef Jarvis was absolutely brilliant! He's an amazing chef. I booked a cozymeal experience for my girlfriend and I as a surprise. Chef Jarvis helped me coordinate the surprise and facilitated an enjoyable, personable cooking experience. He's prompt, a great communicator, and very funny! He allowed us to enjoy the moment and enjoy the cooking experience. Would HIGHLY recommend if you live in the Atlanta area.

I really enjoyed Chef Jarvis and the Total Wine & More hospitality . The cooking clsss couldn't have been better. Chef Jarvis taught us a lot about the ingredients used in the demonstration and showed us the best way to practice rolling sushi on our rice mats. Chef really made me feel confident in my new learned skill sets and able to continue practicing them in the kitchen. I definitely will reccommend these classes to my friends and co-workers . Thank you Total Wine & More for taking the time to make the cooking class experience amazing by providing a wine tasting, I will definitely be back.

What a wonderful experience with Chef Jarvis! Going into the evening I was skeptical about what to expect due to the dinner being a Pacific rim theme and me being allergic to seafood. I figured I would atleast go and see what the experience was like. I have to say that after completing the evening I have a new found joy for cooking! Chef Jarvis was very accommodating to my allergy and I was able to enjoy the sushi along with everyone else. The cooking demonstration, flavors, plating and humor that was all apart of the evening was top notch! Chef Jarvis is clearly knowledgeable, creative and has a good eye for flavors and pairings. I highly recommend Cozy Meal and look forward to enjoying similar experiences in the future!

I had a great time learning how to make a sushi roll. He also gave us some kimchi salad & a yummy soup. This type of event would be a fun activity to do with a group of friends.

Another amazing event!! Thank you for making our Valentines Day Pop-Up Dinner a memorable time. The whiskey marinated pineapples & chocolate stuffed strawberries were a spectacular finish.

Monique

This was probably the best birthday present I ever got--a sushi-making class that was rolled up in an unbelievable 4-course meal. Each dish was perfect and Chef Jarvis was a delight. I'm eagerly awaiting his next popup and looking forward to having another class with him.

Erika

30 Oct 2017

Chef, it was great having you in my home. I admit, when we met, your relaxed demeanor had me feeling unsteady about the event going off without a hitch. However, it ended up being the opposite. Your staff was great and made everyone feel welcomed. I'll be hosting another dinner at my home next year and I would love for you to show us how to make the pastries and cobblers we had a few days ago. That should be interesting... Again, thank you and Chef Geo for making my family/friends feel even more "at home!"

I really enjoyed the dinner series. The drinks separately we a little bland, but together they were delicious. The lamb was absolutely delicious! I love the creativity of this experience. Can't wait until the next one!

Alicia

I really enjoyed the 'shrooms and the roasted garlic. The mint lamb and the salmon [were] to die for. They were very well-seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Erica

20 Jun 2017

The lamb was really good. All of the other foods were different for me, so it really got me out of my comfort zone. I just think there needs to be more of a description for the food for someone that doesn't get out much like me.

This experience was awesome. I truly enjoy how the dishes flow into each other to "wet" your taste buds. The salmon was to die for.
