Marcellius Hamilton & Guests - Flavors of Asia
with Chef Kymberly
in Manhattan (East Harlem)
Chef Kymberly was the perfect choice for my wife's surprise 30th birthday! She led all 18 of us in a dynamic 4-course cuisine of Asian flavors. She was fun, engaging, a great instructor, and she was overall great. It was clear that she has a passion for cooking and also that she is very knowledgeable and experienced. We definitely recommend her and will book again.

Even Financial Elegant French Cooking
with Chef Paul

Everything was great! It was a little intense sometimes with some of the chefs. They wanted everything to be perfect which is fine but none of us are trained cooks so that seems like a high expectation to have.

Classic Greek Dishes
with Chef Michael
in Manhattan (Midtown West)
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!

Italian Farm to Table
with Chef Ivan

We had a 9-person private cooking class with Chef Ivan and it was fantastic! We split up into two groups and learned different techniques to create a delicious 3-course meal. We had a couple of folks who had dietary restrictions, which were seamlessly accommodated. Chef Ivan was knowledgable and handled our questions with ease. I'd recommend this class to groups and anyone who wants to learn authentic cooking techniques from an experienced chef.

It was a wonderful experience. Chef Paul and his team made everyone feel like we are real cooks. They answered all questions, no matter how ridiculous. Everyone enjoyed working with their hands, making meatballs and rolling gnocchi. The studio was beautifully decorated, and the dining area had a homey feel. When we sat down for dinner, it was like a large family gathering. We were all very surprised and happy everything tasted absolutely delicious ha!

Chef Todd was amazing!!! He included all of us in preparing an awesome meal. The recipes were relatively simple, yet the out come was off the charts delicious!!! Chef and his wife Millie are an unbelievable team. They served the food in an artistic and loving fashion as well as cleaned everything. I would easily rate them a 20 on a 1 to 10 scale.

Private Event - SiriusXM- Pandora Team -Elegant French Cooking
with Chef Paul
in Manhattan (SoHo)
I highly recommend Chef Paul. He hosted my corporate group of around 30 lawyers. The space is beautiful and met my highest expectations in terms of a culinary studio. Chef Paul was a great host, and he had plenty of staff to help with the different parts of the process. I appreciated that it was very laid back and tailored to our group, the Chef allowed us to play our own music on his speakers, we could order wine from a local shop to the event and he was flexible with a good number of dietary restrictions and food preferences.
I highly recommend this for anyone, but also anyone looking for a corporate team building event, I don't see how you can beat this location.
