Booked the class Feast Like A Greek with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

We had such a wonderful experience! The resident chef split the time wonderfully between explaining the flavor pairings, noting preparation timing tips and showing / teaching us proper techniques in the kitchen. The meal was delicious and the kitchen / dining area were beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Booked the class A Taste of the Mediterranean with Chef Lamour in Queens (Astoria)

I cannot say enough how appreciative and satisfied my wife and I were with Chef Lamour’s delectable menu and warm hospitality. Aside, from the joys of learning new knife skills, food nutrition, and how to make a simple but tasty vinaigrette and chocolate filled spanakopita, we also discussed life and philosophies. It was truly a unique and fun experience. Even more, Chef Lamour made everything from scratch and was able to provide a menu that met my wife’s nutritional needs for her diabetes. We are so grateful to have had her as our first experience and introduction to CozyMeal! She was truly fabulous!

Booked the class A Taste of Ancient Greece with Chef Maria in Manhattan (SoHo)

Chef Maria was a wonderful guide to Greek cuisine! The food was amazing, and everyone had a great time. We chopped herbs, made doughnuts, and everyone had plenty to eat. I’d do this again! The entire team had a great time.

Chef Maria's Greek cooking class was incredible! Start to finish, she was attentive, creative, and offered unique wisdom from her homeland. If you're looking for a class for a group large or small, do not hesitate to book Chef Maria!

My partner and I had her Mediterranean class and Chef Lamour could not have been any more amazing! From her warm and fun personality to her culinary expertise; it was a great experience. She was super communicative and detailed from the minute I booked the class till the night of the class. Chef Lamour makes the entire experience fun, insightful, and delicious . . . we actually forgot we were in a class and felt like we were getting taught to cook by a friend. We definitely recommend her and you definitely need to stop whatever you're searching and just book her!

Booked the class A Taste of the Mediterranean with Chef Lamour in Queens (Astoria)

Absolutely amazing meal! I was worried about going to someone's home to cook but this was one of the best dates I've had. The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing. The Chef was knowledgeable, engaging, understanding and an all around kind person. I learned a lot from this experience and would recommend it to those whom love to explore via their taste buds.

Booked the class Refined Seafood Feast with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Chinatown)

We all enjoyed a wonderful Brunch with Chef Ivan. The menu was amazing & we all participated in the preparation, learning some new knife skills, food info., and all with fresh ingredients. Chef Ivan’s instructions were very helpful for us to utilize in our everyday meals. Would highly recommend a class with Chef Ivan *****

Chef Blanche A.

Booked the class Refined Seafood Feast with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Chinatown)

This experience was very much worth it. It was truly hands on and engaging. Everyone got their aprons on and hands in the mix, literally! I went with my partner, and we had a class with 2 other couples, and 2 solo individuals, making the class size 8, which is perfect--I wouldn't recommend any more than that. Chef Ivan was very patient with each of us, he gave an excellent overview of what we'd be doing for the session, and explained cooking terms and tips expertly. The dining experience was also nice and cozy. We ran a bit out of time at the end, only because our group was so chatty! The only thing I wished for was to see how the salmon was prepared at the end, although he had walked us through the process already. Great experience, and I highly recommend to anyone, whether for a couple's bonding, friend's gathering, or team building. Excellent experience, and excellent food. The best part is, we could sit down eating at the table and proudly say that we created that!

Quaint, well-explained, hands-on class (Italian Cuisine). While I expected the cooking class to be very “commercial and or school-like” because of what I watch on tv, this was the opposite. The class of 6, at his studio, made it feel like you were cooking at home amongst friends. Everything was well explained and variations were discussed so that we could personalize the entrees if we wanted to. Chef Ivan was great and would recommend to others most definitely.

She was engaging. Paid attention to detail, and not just the food but in the conversation. Entertaining. Food was tasty. No pics because we ate it all!

Kathy A.

Booked the class Vegetarian Mediterranean Fare with Chef Jamie VK

We cooked a vegan and GF Mediterranean meal, with falafel and tzatziki, roasted vegetables with quinoa and Lemon Olive Oil cake. It was SUCH a great and fun class. I personally learned better knife skills, lots of cooking tips and tricks to make cooking easier and faster, and had a wonderful meal that I look forward to and feel confident of creating on my own. My daughter and I attended the class together and there was a young couple in the class too and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Chef Jamie's teaching space/home was lovely - perfect for our class and she made the entire experience interesting, resourceful, TONS of fun and inspiring! I look forward to taking another class! My only regret was I forgot to take pictures!!

Booked the class Vegetarian Mediterranean Fare with Chef Jamie VK

From the moment we walked in, Chef Jamie made us feel completely at ease—her warm presence was so comforting, especially since we’re a little on the shy and introverted side. She created such a welcoming atmosphere that the two hours flew by, and we left not only having made delicious vegetarian Middle Eastern food but also feeling so much more confident in the kitchen. Jamie is incredibly knowledgeable, and her goal is truly to empower her students—she gave us invaluable advice, from how to properly hold a knife to small tricks that make cooking smarter and less intimidating. I’m already seeing the aftereffects; today, as I made sheet pan vegetables, I found myself thinking back to her class. I highly recommend this experience—it felt so personal, and I walked away with skills I’ll carry with me every time I cook!

Kevon M.

Booked the class Vegetarian Mediterranean Fare with Chef Jamie VK

Had a great experience at Jamie's Mediterranean class. She was heavy on educating us on what we were using, why, and always had an alternative we could explore. Healthy amount of challenge to try flavors we were previously adverse to. And she's extremely entertaining! The lemon olive oil cake was the star of the show.

Lance L.

Booked the class Vegetarian Mediterranean Fare with Chef Jamie VK

A really wonderful experience. Chef Jamie is fun and lively. She was a great host for our corporate teambuilding event. We all learned something and can't wait to put her tips into practice. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Chef Jamie provided a great experience and class- her expertise is clear and she's both a great teacher and a great time, with any number of stories about her years in the culinary industry. The food was delicious too!

Sol A.

Booked the class Modern Mediterranean Mezze with Chef Karmala in Queens (Long Island City)

Karmala was fantastic! My boyfriend and I had the best time cooking mediterranean food. She was very welcoming, warm, knowledgable and made us feel super comfortable. The setting was great, intimate and she took time to explain ingredients, cooking tools and more... we learned a lot! Highly recommend her!

Great job!

Gabriela H.

Booked the class Modern Mediterranean Mezze with Chef Karmala in Queens (Long Island City)

Chef Karmala's cooking class was a delight! Her infectious personality made the experience both hilarious and informative. Throughout the class, she patiently explained each step and answered all our questions. I felt comfortable and competent in the kitchen, which is a HUGE deal. She gave us recipes I would attempt again. I can't recommend Chef Karmala's classes highly enough – whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner, you're guaranteed to have a good time and come away with new skills. Her passion for cooking shines through, adding an extra layer of inspiration to the whole experience.

Adam D.

Booked the class Signature Mediterranean Menu with Chef Justin in Manhattan (Upper East Side)

Excellent chef and cooking class experience. More fun and intimate than a lecture and more enjoyable than a class where you are put to work the whole time. Couldn’t be more convenient, with Chef Justin coming right on time to our apt with all of the highest quality ingredients, some picked fresh from his Brooklyn garden. We were able to participate as actively or passively as we wished, and the best part was enjoying a restaurant-quality meal at the end, one that we now know how to make on our own. Thanks again Chef!

Jennifer M.

Chef Maria is an inviting and inspiring person to be around. Her stories about how food shaped her life are amazing to listen while she demonstrates how to make delicious, healthy Greek cuisine. Her easy to follow recipes will definitely become a staple in your cooking repertoire.

Audrey M.

Booked the class Greek Chicken Souvlaki with Chef Edouard in Brooklyn (Greenpoint)

Chef Edouard will not only teach you how to cook delicious hearty dishes, but his background as a food stylist will make them visually pop as well. After learning how easy and delicious homemade dips are, I will not be buying prepackaged snacks again. I can't wait to make the recipes I learned for summer barbecues!

Karina D.

Booked the class Refined Seafood Feast with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Chinatown)

Chef Ivan is one of a kind! He is super personable and explains everything in such a creative eye-opening way. My husband and I have been cooking for years and we still learned something new! Not only was Chef Ivan a wonderful instructor, he is such a great host! He laughed, joked and just was in the moment with us. Before I knew it, the night was over! I will definitely be back! We did the seafood evening and didn't regret it at all. Chef Ivan is the best!

Tricella K.

Booked the class Refined Seafood Feast with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Chinatown)

Everything was great! Chef Ivan was pleasant and welcoming as well were his teaching skills. He has a great sense of humor to lighten up the mood and the nervousness of cooking as a beginner. I had a great time even though I was struggling to do anything right considering I never cook! However, this experience definitely makes me see cooking in a different light and makes me want to learn to cook.

Alexandra M.

Booked the class Refined Seafood Feast with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Chinatown)

Chef Ivan is very knowledgeable and welcoming. His instructions were thorough and promoted understanding of WHY rather than just WHAT we were doing. We left with new skills that are applicable to not only the meal we made there, but a host of other recipes -- from basics we thought we knew to advanced techniques. The atmosphere was exciting, and the experience was incredibly enjoyable.

Edwin G.

Booked the class Refined Seafood Feast with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Chinatown)
