Chef Aaron begins by showing you and your group that fresh bread and pasta are not beyond the capabilities of a home cook as you dive head first into the process. You will also learn how to make an array of other Italian classics that are actually much easier and more satisfying when made from scratch.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Thanks Aaron, our family had fun and learned something new.

Had a great time. We are a family of 6, with some vegetarians and some not. We had so much fun with Aaron, making pasta, preparing pesto, seeing his garden and chickens... It did not feel like work at all, just relaxation, sipping wine, visiting and a bit of chopping, kneading and pasta-making! And of course we enjoyed an amazing meal at the end. We have made pasta and pesto before, but learned so much and will definitely improve on them next time. Can't wait to get the recipes!

We booked a private event for 10 people (an office team-building activity) and had a fantastic time. The venue was charming and Chef Aaron was approachable, outgoing and informative. There was just the right balance of things for us to do and things that Chef Aaron did for us (or had prepared ahead of time) to make it feel like we were involved and learning something, but also to have time to socialize together. The food we prepared (grilled shrimp, fettuccini with cream sauce, capellini with pesto, focaccia bread, garden salad, and a dessert) was delicious.

Our experience with Chef Aaron was fabulous! The whole team had a great time and they even accommodated a last-minute request for a gluten-free attendee. We had a full house and everyone on our team participated. They were sending out pictures and high-fives this morning!

Chef Aaron was organized, articulate, genuine and had great tips. Our clients were invited and he made a group who did not know one another feel at home and made it fun. Pasta making was interactive with good breaks to taste and network. The food was unbelievably delicious and fresh- herbs from his garden for the Focaccia and pesto. He was an amazing facilitator and teacher.

We had a great cooking experience with Chef Aaron. In addition to teaching us how to prepare and cook delicious paella and a tasty honey mustard balsamic salad dressing, we were introduced to his chickens and had a chance to tour his garden, where he picked fresh vegetables and herbs for our class. Chef Aaron is delightful, with a good sense of humor and a passion for cooking. Since Halloween is next week, we were also treated to pumpkin macarons prepared by Chef Aaron that were scrumptious. Thanks for the extremely enjoyable, instructive, and delicious experience.

Anna

21 Jul 2021

My husband and I wanted to take a sushi-making class as part of our ten-year anniversary trip to the San Marcos area. We ended up being the only two people there for the class (it was a Friday lunch time class), and since it was on our anniversary day, that couldn't have been more perfect. We really, really enjoyed our class with Chef Aaron! He was laid back, very knowledgeable, friendly, and we covered a lot of ground in a relaxed way. The class was very hands-on; my husband and I got to do a lot of the work (the fun, rather!), which was exactly what we wanted. We got multiple attempts at actually rolling the sushi as well, not just one attempt. I also really enjoyed the place where the class took place. Lots of light, a huge wood and metal work table, and a garden out back. Chef Aaron let me take a few ripe blackberries and a passion flower from the garden. Two thumbs up for Chef Aaron and this class.

Haley

Chef Aaron gave us a cooking experience we’ll never forget. He was very patient and instructive with how to make the dish, and we appreciated the reasoning behind the different preparation steps. The food itself was outstanding, and each course of the meal provided an even more salivating experience. We were even more grateful to bring home leftovers of the paella and tapas. Thank you again Chef Aaron!

What an amazing experience we had with Chef Aaron! My husband and I had a private lesson at the chef's home learning how to make a seafood paella, which was absolutely delicious! Aaron had everything set up and ready to go before we arrived... great space for both dining and learning. The lesson allowed us to be very hands-on, and Chef Aaron was so patient in answering my many, many, many questions. The meal included jamon & manchego tapas, a spanish-style salad, seafood paella (complete with chorizo, mussels and shrimp), and we finished things off with a creme caramel flan. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend a night learning with Chef Aaron... we can't wait to book another class!

We had a great time at our pizza-making class with Aaron. He timed everything perfectly, with just the right balance of giving us plenty to do without it being overwhelming. He offered lots of helpful information about the how's and why's of what we were making, along with some great cooking tips and kitchen hacks. The ingredients were super fresh: eggs from his chicken coop, herbs from the garden, excellent ingredients for the pizza and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious! At the end of the evening, Aaron gave us PDF copies of the recipes, and we tried them a week later, with great success! We highly recommend classes with Aaron. They are very well thought out. He's a great teacher, and the space he's created in his home is comfortable and welcoming. We really appreciated his hospitality and knowledge, and we're looking forward to trying the pasta-making class next!

Chef Aaron does an excellent job of facilitating the cooking class & weaves in some great technique tips along the way. The seafood paella class was fun and delicious!

We were so thrilled with our seafood paella cooking lesson. Chef Aaron was at ease, knowledgeable, fun and skilled. Very comfortable in the kitchen, and the food was DELICIOUS. Salad, paella, and a divine flan, with leftovers to look forward to at home! Wonderful casual atmosphere. We were super-pleased with everything, including his recommendations of the right varietals of wine to bring with us!

Chef Aaron was amazing today. He has skills and knowledge comparable to all the great chefs. His home is a garden Eden. The food simple but decadent. We will attend another class soon.

This was our first experience with Cozymeal and I’m so glad we tried it. While we have some background in cooking, Chef Aaron offered so much valuable information and tricks to apply in the Kitchen. He was a very gracious host who made this experience really memorable. To top it all off the food was very flavorful and better than any restaurant we could have picked while on our trip to Austin. Highly recommend!

Chef Aaron granted my group a fantastic experience. What was most intriguing to all was that you can tell that he is just as serious about food as he is with sharing his knowledge. You could tell that he only works with the best ingredients, but his delivery of the lesion was so casual that he made the art of "making pasta" less intimidating and quite joyous. When I am back in Austin, I will be sure to join him for another class. As for the group, they couldn't stop talking about the experience and their weekend plans to make pasta. (Wish us luck!)

This experience was fantastic. Chef Aaron was so friendly and knowledgeable yet so patient in giving instructions. He gave us product suggestions and knife skill lessons. Most of all, I am now a lover of red sauce. I can’t wait to practice what I learned. And my group of colleagues can’t wait to get back to Austin to take another class with Chef Aaron! This was a great team-building experience!

Chef Aaron did a great job from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable and could answer any question thrown at him. He made sure to get everybody engaged, which my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend a dinner with Chef Aaron. We will be back in the future!

My SO and I got lucky and were treated to basically a private dinner with Chef Aaron, and one in which he didn't disappoint. He was very welcoming, conversational, and generous with his culinary information and tips. I know I personally took quite a bit away from our time. The food was tremendous as well. If you're looking for a new date-night idea, or even growing your culinary knowledge in general, Chef Aaron is a great start!

Chef Aaron was amazing! He was patient, kind and gave us additional skills! He was amazing. I’ve never made home made pasta before but now I feel totally prepared to make pasta at home. It was delicious and he gave us such a great experience. We will DEFINITELY be scheduling with Chef Aaron again.

My date and I had an absolutely WONDEEFUL time at Chef Aaron’s house! Chef Aaron is an absolute gem to work with and learn from. The house is immaculately clean and a terrific venue for cooking. The pasta was amazing, and the fact that my date and I played such an integral part in making it made the night so much more enjoyable. I can’t wait to bring her back for some of Chef Aaron’s other cooking lessons!
