Thank you, Chief Chris. You were fantastic and I enjoyed following your cooking schemes. It all turned out great and good to eat. It also was fun. It was also good to have others present to ask questions and you have good responses. Very relaxing and good company. Well done and good luck. Thanks again.

Amanda

My husband was so displeased with this “class” that it’s ruined our Valentine’s Day. For example, Chef Chris didn’t follow his own recipes and people said why are you doing this? His response was just “Oh I should have updated it”. For the Classic Tiramisu he totally made it wrong! My husband followed exactly how he did it. Their products looked the exact same. BUT Chris never beat the eggs until a stiff peak or even separate the eggs! He left the eggs a soupy yellow puddle. So our tiramisu is a soupy squishy mess of jello. There is literally no way to save it and make it edible. The cookies are no longer of any shape and have disintegrated into a puddle. Honestly, I feel like some guy who lived in Italy, who thinks he’s legit has NO idea how to cook! And the opera...one three minute song. Wow!

Jean

12 Feb 2021

Chris was very professional and personable. He was able to handle our vocal group.

Chef Chris was fantastic. He did a wonderful job of instructing and providing detail and helpful hints throughout the experience.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the zoom class. It was so cool! We met people from across the country and Chef Chris was excellent at keeping the group on track and on time. We were schooled how good our food turned out. We learned great cooking tips and will definitely make the recipes in our own again. The opera experience was amazing, such talent. Dinner and a show right from our little apartment...very cool.

Everything about the Italian Opera Night was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and chose to cook together with Chef Chris. Everything we made turned out wonderfully and Chef Chris was a patient and knowledgeable instructor. Never have we ever made our own pasta before and I was able to create the meal again tonight so the knowledge stuck!!! Also the music...amazing...please share our gratitude for that extra gift as it really made it a memorable night!

Ellen

14 Dec 2020

What a wonderful class! Chef Chris knows his stuff and actually lived in Italy so this class is the real thing.

Sunita

13 Dec 2020

Chris was interactive, patient, and thorough with his instructions. I learnt some very cool recipes that otherwise sound daunting but Chris broke the instructions down to very simple tasks. The Italian ooera interlude was a fantastic end.

Erin

Great experience learning new techniques! Lots of fun!!

Mike

22 Nov 2020

Eva

17 Oct 2020

Chef Chris was awesome! The entire 3-course meal was so thoughtfully prepared from easy-to-source ingredients and yet it was one of the most delicious dining experiences we've had. We also picked up a couple of awesome kitchen tips (cracking eggs, chopping parsley). The musical interlude by Chef Chris' husband Todd was an awesome addition. Will be making this recipe again and again :)

Deanna

Had a great time, food tasted amazing!! Opera song was a bonus!

Robert

07 Jun 2020

My girlfriend Michele and I did the class yesterday. Chef Chris was great in his directions and in showing what he was doing. He answered all questions with patience. I am fairly new to cooking and usually stress unduly. This was relatively stress free despite some mishaps on our end and very productive. The meal was great and I look forward to other classes. Thanks Chris

Michele

06 Jun 2020

We had a great time. My partner is just starting to cook and we assumed we would divide the work, but I sprained my hand and he had to do everything. And he thoroughly enjoyed it, too, said he can see us making fresh pasta again. Great instructor. great menu and a geographically diverse group--another plus. Thanks!

Dana

06 Jun 2020

This class was challenging and fun. You learn new things including how to make delicious pasta for the first time. The opera singer was brilliant. Pace was great if you prepare well in advance. We would definitely take another class with Chef Chris. Many thanks!

Molly

We had a fantastic time learning how to make fresh ravioli. Chef Chris made it super easy to follow. I appreciated all the tips and tricks. Looking forward to participating in another online class in the very near future.

Ellen

09 Apr 2021

Chef Chris is wonderful and so are his recipes!

Kyya

04 Apr 2021

Chris went well over the time the course stated and not because we were busy cooking the entire course. Over an hour was wasted listening to his partner sign (not necessary when we're here for cooking) and him just randomly talking. He seemed ill-prepared for the course.

Christopher

02 Apr 2021

Absolutely fantastic. Attentive and insightful, we will definitely do another class with Chef Chris!

Chelsea

02 Apr 2021

Chef Chris was great! Very easy to follow along and offered many great tips along the way!

Maria

29 Mar 2021

This was a first-time experience for my kids and I and we will definitely be doing it again! Not only was it a fun experience but the tiramisu was the BEST I have ever had!! Highly recommend taking the course. Be prepared to work but is so worth it:).

Donna

28 Mar 2021

A fun class making two yummy versions of tiramisu. Thanks again Chef Chris.

Jennifer

Kristin

25 Mar 2021

The food turned out great, and it was a very fun experience with Chef Chris! We went through some parts a little quickly, and I had a hard time keeping up solo. But overall a fun time.

KD

19 Mar 2021

Great class learning how to cook with red wine and Marsala wine, and Chris was very patient and explained everything really well. Would definitely recommend!

Jean

05 Mar 2021

Chef Chris went slowly and communicated clearly, giving facts about the history of the food, tips on different techniques and how the steps should look. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and the end result was delicious.

Pam

04 Mar 2021

Our 2nd class with Chef Chris and it was fantastic! His pace is perfect and the food is amazing! So much fun and we are looking forward to the next one!

great ravioli!

Janice

01 Mar 2021

Awesome all around!! Great chef!!

Chris

01 Mar 2021

It was a really fun class! Chef Chris was great! He was thoroughly knowledgeable about the process, enough to answer any questions people had if anything wasn't going as it should. Food turned out great, and we learned a lot about the why's of the cooking. Highly recommended!

Tracey

28 Feb 2021

Fabulous class! Loves the recipes!

Angie

27 Feb 2021

This has been a really frustrating experience. I've been trying to communicate with both Chef Chris and with the Cozymeal customer service team for a week and a half, trying to get a credit for a future class - I'm not even asking for a refund! Chef Chris initially offered me a different class date that didn't work for my schedule, and after that he said he'd get back to me... but I never heard from him again. The customer service people said that it's up to the chef, and shrug their shoulders. I've given up on getting a credit. It feels like they're more concerned about keeping customers' money than making sure they are happy with their class experience. I probably won't book another class through Cozymeal, and it definitely won't be with Chef Chris.

Lisa

27 Feb 2021

Chef Chris was great. Very calm and patient in the kitchen. The meal we cooked together with friends was so good. And it was fun seeing people from all over the country on the Zoom. Cooking together.

Valentina

26 Feb 2021

Chef Chris was great - he was so patient with us!

Jen

21 Feb 2021

What a fun session and food was delicious!

Robert

21 Feb 2021

Our cooking class was a first time, shared, and unique experience w/ our five kids, who gave it to their mother as a Christmas present! We enjoyed the class and our time together and learned some new cooking skills and tricks. Chef Chris was most accommodating, knowledgeable, personable, patient & responsive to our questions and needs, especially as sometimes things could move a little fast and grandkids could intermittently distract ?. After our 2 hr class, we continued our family evening virtually for several hours, enjoying the culinary fruits of our labors and each other. We have all agreed to do it again! Thank you Chef Chris, you were great!

Mike

20 Feb 2021

Great experience! I would highly recommend it to anyone trying to add skills in the kitchen!

Brenda

20 Feb 2021

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I appreciated that, while simple, the ingredients came together so deliciously. Chris did a great job of keeping everyone moving and on the same page without rushing the process. I highly recommend.

Annie

18 Feb 2021

knowledgable and relatable

Pam

17 Feb 2021

Chris was amazing!! That was our first Cozymeal class and we absolutely loved it. The pace was perfect- we never felt rushed and he was really easy to follow. The food was delicious!! Thank you for an amazing experience!!

Erika

15 Feb 2021

Chris was relaxed, knowledgeable not only about the recipes but the origin of them and made the experience fun and relaxing!

Anne

13 Feb 2021

I signed us up as a birthday present for my husband who loves to cook. Although he had made a good chicken marsala in the past, he was excited to learn a couple of new tips from Chris. He enjoyed it so much, he made it again for breakfast the next dat!

Allison

10 Feb 2021

My family had a fantastic experience taking a virtual cooking class with Chef Chris in celebration of my mom's birthday. The menu was phenomenal (chicken marsala/flourless chocolate cake/crostinis), and Chris was so fun to chat with and learn from! Chris is super knowledgeable and really takes the time to educate you on the various ingredients as well as the regions from which they originated - we learned so much more than just how to prepare the items on the menu! I have been singing Chris' praises all day to my friends and coworkers, and we will definitely be booking another class with him!

Carolyn

08 Feb 2021

Chris was very informative kind and patient with us. He interacted well with all of the classmates and made us feel welcome. We will look for other sessions with him. My friend was here from Texas and we will invite others to cook virtually with us. Thank you Chris!!

Lisa

08 Feb 2021

Chris is a great teacher and very knowledgeable. He guided us through the many steps of making ravioli and patiently answered every question. I appreciated his attention and encouragement. I highly recommend his class.

Mom

07 Feb 2021

Thank you Chef Chris for a great meal and a fun evening with family. You guided us thru new recipes and methods and entertained us with facts about foods and Italy. The end result was a great tasting meal and a very enjoyable evening.

Karen

06 Feb 2021

Chef Chris was fantastic and so was the food we made. Definitely recommend his Cooking with Wine class and chatting about Italy. The roasted grapes and ricotta crostini was everyone’s favorite and were all planning to make it again.

Elizabeth

06 Feb 2021

Chris was great, very knowledgeable and patient.

Kathleen

05 Feb 2021

Chris was awesome! Very comfortable in the kitchen, knowledgeable and friendly! Answered all our questions. Very patient! We really enjoyed our class. I would definitely recommend this for a fun group gathering!

Alyssa

04 Feb 2021

The team had a wonderful time and the food was delicious. We will definitely be recommending Cozymeal to our fellow employees!

Jennifer

01 Feb 2021

Chris did a good job coaching everyone through the steps, answering questions, and also keeping the session moving along at a good pace. It was a little confusing that the recipe was labeled as Tortellini Filling but we made lasagna. I did not at all care at all for the chocolate cake - ended up eating two bites and tossing the whole thing. Perhaps something lighter to follow the hearty lasagna would better round this meal out better.

Lars

29 Jan 2021

Chris was very engaged in our success and clearly enjoyed both cooking and teaching. Thanks for a great time!

Danielle

29 Jan 2021

Chef Chris did a wonderful job at clearly explaining each step as well as how cooking with different wines can have an impact on the taste of the meal.

Cameron

28 Jan 2021

Chef Chris was very helpful and the food was delicious. Great class!

Kimberly

24 Jan 2021

We really enjoyed this fun, delicious cooking class. It was very helpful that we had all of the ingredients pre-cut/measured as we would have scrambled to keep up. Chris was awesome about sharing his wisdom and answering questions. Highly recommend the class!

Lindsey

23 Jan 2021

We had a great time, and Chef Chris was a wonderful teacher! The class was well paced, it was very interactive, and we were given great ideas on how to stretch the recipe further in the future. We will definitely be taking another class soon!

Jacqueline

22 Jan 2021

Thanks Chef Chris!

Jacqueline

22 Jan 2021

Great low key and enjoyable to try new recipes! Chris was great and unassuming - made us all feel like we were really in his home kitchen! Wonderful way to connect with family and additional folks from all over North America -

James

22 Jan 2021

Chris, Thank you for a fun class last night. Mary Ann and I really enjoyed the menu and cannot wait to make for our extended family after COVID! Stay safe and keep cooking! Jim and Mary Ann Sisco

Jo-Anne

15 Jan 2021

This was a great class. We made two delicious tiramisu's in under 90 minutes with Chef Chris. Along with lessons on making these wonderful dessert, he offered lots of goods tips that can be used on many other recipes.

Rebecca

15 Jan 2021

Very nice. Easy to follow. But one complaint. It said traditional tiramisu. Well in cooking instructions says whip up egg whites separately. I feel it would make the tiramisu thicker. He just had us throw in whole egg and mix. He explained he tried both ways its fine But it is not what i paid for. I wanted to it correctly. I havent tasted it yet. I am disappointed he didnt use the recipe provided.

Gopali

15 Jan 2021

This was my second class with chef Chris and it was super fun and informative. The desserts turned out super delicious both the times.

Rita

09 Jan 2021

Really great experience! Very engaging and covered so much in class!

Shay Frank

08 Jan 2021

Fun class! Chris was very attentive to all members of the class and the food was yummy!

P.R.

08 Jan 2021

Chris was calm and flexible and able to entertain our questions. He provided us with interesting facts about Italy and pasta in general. I wish the prep instructions were a little more clear.

Jean

03 Jan 2021

Such fun. Chef Chris was very approachable and informative. The food we prepared was so good!

PAUL

31 Dec 2020

Chef Chris was great! He was friendly snd wTm snd his instructions were clear and easy to follow. I think the ingredients needed should have been more clear Instead of “dark Choclate” for example the ingredient list should have said “chocolate chips” because that was in fact what was needed. Also , the basic lust vs optional extras should also have been made mire clear. We were led to brluevr we needed heavy whipping cream when in fact that eas not kart if the lesson snd it was an optional extra BTW Iveould take another class with Chef Chris in a heartbeat

Diana

28 Dec 2020

This class with Chef Chris was educational and fun! One thing I learned was it is best to crack an egg on a flat surface to reduce the shells in your dish. He gave easy to follow instructions and was encouraging all questions.

Leslie

27 Dec 2020

Chris did a great job and the meal was delicious !

Elana

23 Dec 2020

Chef Chris is a great teacher!. We had a very full class for ravioli making and he was able to manage questions from a large number of us, checked in on progress and also spent way more than the allotted class time to ensure we all got through the recipe. We've taken two classes from Chef Chris and would definitely recommend taking a class with him.

Julie

23 Dec 2020

This was our 2nd class with Chef Chris. Our daughter Sam who made the ravioli by herself impressed both her parents. They were better than any store or restaurant we have had. I highly recommend cozymeal and Chef Chris for getting today's kids involved in cooking.

peter

21 Dec 2020

This was a great class. Chef Chris really took the time to explain not only the dishes we were preparing, but cultural background stories as well. We will definitively attend another class with Chef Chris and encourage you to try one if you haven't already!

Martha

20 Dec 2020

Chef Chris was an excellent teacher. Very knowledgeable yet was able to be clear in all his directions which made it easy and fun. He was a warm and informative teacher and I highly recommend him. Thanks, Chris!!

Renae

Chef Chris was fantastic! He was very welcoming and checked often to make sure that we were all falling along and keeping up. He was great at answering questions as well! We really enjoyed the experience and hope to take another class from him.

Kathy

07 Dec 2020

He was very personable and explained the process well. My screened said "host muted you" at the very beginning & I couldn't ask questions. Basically watched a video and I texted Sara (host) with questions. Some gorgeous people never left the screen with their 50 questions. Hmmmm......

Lynn

04 Dec 2020

Really enjoyed learning how to make ravioli last night, Thanks!

Terri

03 Dec 2020

Our group throughly enjoyed our class. Chef Chris explained every step in a very easy to follow manner. His stories made the class feel like we were in a friend’s kitchen. Our group will definitely schedule another virtual event, and hopefully an in-person event in Dallas (when it is safe to do so), in the future. Thank you very much, Chef Chris.

Corie

03 Dec 2020

Tessa

02 Dec 2020

Meal was great! My kids never eat lasagna and today my spirits were lifted as they came back for SECONDS! amazing ? thank you for your time!

Allison

02 Dec 2020

It was generally enjoyable, but was hard to follow at times. He went pretty quickly and some of his instructions were a little unclear (amounts, whether to split the dough/filling in half, etc.)

Kathy

02 Dec 2020

What a fantastic experience. Chef Chris was knowledge, patient and funny. He made the session straightforward and simple for those of us who had never made homemade pasta before. It was a fantastic option for a virtual team event!! I would highly recommend Cozymeal to anyone and Chef Chris was AMAZING!!!

Natasha

20 Nov 2020

So fun! Thank you!

Karen

20 Nov 2020

Chef Chris was very kind, and for the most part patient with our group. My review is mainly due to the lack of information we were provided around the ingredients and how to prepare for the class. Unfortunately, the list that we were given did not include some key ingredients, like a butternut squash or parsley which ended up being crucial for the dish we were making. On top of that, it would have been nice to have a clearer idea of what we could do in advance to prepare our ingredients for the class. It seemed like it would have been easier to have pre chopped squash, garlic, and other ingredients. I found that I had to leave several ingredients out of my recipe because I simply didn't have time to chop them.

Holly

20 Nov 2020

Chris was very skilled to teach this class and he was fun to work with! Perfect for tired and burned-out professionals who want to focus on something enjoyable. He was very interactive and I picked up on new tips to enhance my skills at home.

Judy

19 Nov 2020

Such a fun team bonding event and Chris was a great teacher

Michelle

19 Nov 2020

Chef Chris was awesome! He was very patient and thorough, and walked us through every step of the ravioli making process. I would have never tried to make something like that on my own, but with his help, we had a very tasty dinner! Thanks Chef!!

1. Excellent Marsala recipe and instructions 2. Loved the Crostini recipe Chris is friendly and engaging. Improvement areas: 1. Reduce the number or recipes. I didn't make the cake so felt like a more relaxed pace (Last time I did 3 recipes). The time is too short for one person doing a full recipe (3). 2. I have also noticed that in both my classes the Chef did a single portion of the entree recipe so the time required for him to complete is less. In the future I will do the same. I suggest that you note the options in the instructions.

Chef Chris was great; he shared cooking tips and tricks as well as some wine history to go along with the dish! We had measured and prepared all of our ingredients ahead of time yet there was certainly time to do the prep and measuring along with Chef Chris during the class (which lasted just under 2 hours). 100% recommend as a fun and engaging quarantine activity!

Chef Chris paces his class very well, is patient (doesn’t mind repeating or slowing down) and gives good tips as well. Even though we aren’t gluten free, it’s great to have some go-to gluten free desserts when we need to accommodate others’ dietary restrictions/preferences. We’ve already signed up for another class with Chef Chris! Thanks!!

The chef was also incredible. Chris was incredibly personable and fun but also extremely informative and patient. I appreciated the description he gave to each step so we knew what to look for or feel for in our meal prep. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed and couldn't believe how fast the time flew by. He definitely has a teaching style that was easy to follow to get incredible results. I am so glad that I have found Cozymeal and the online classes. As someone who loves to cook and learn new recipes, it will be something I visit again.

The class was great. Liked doing it with my isolated neighbors. Fun, relaxed, well instructed. Loved Chris's positive style. I was concerned that my ravioli did not look like his and were squishing out the sides but it did NOT spill out when cooked asd was great. Cooked the ravioli and then just mixed with fresh tomatoes, basil and a bit of oil...GREAT TASTING. I used the leftover scraps to make great thin noodles.

Laura

I bought this for my husband for Father's Day and he really enjoyed the session! Chef Chris' interactive practices were great! I peeked in to help clean as he went along and enjoyed as a spectator.... I may participate in other classes for couple, kids, and individual now that I see how productive and easy it was. Than you Chef Chris!!! Can't wait to taste my husband's creation!

Stella

We took an online ravioli class with Chef Chris and had the best time. He was patient, knowledgeable and detail oriented. There were 12 couples in the class and he made sure to give each of us individual attention and answered all of our questions. The online class was a great way to bring friends and family from all over together and we plan on doing another one very soon. It was also a lot better than just streaming a video as the interactive aspect makes all the difference. Thanks Chef Chris!

Chef Chris is great! We did a (virtual) French cooking class via Zoom for my husband's birthday with a group of friends. It was delicious and Chef Chris gave clear instructions throughout. He made it a fun night for all of us. Highly recommend!

Our family was gifted a Cozymeal class from family for Christmas. Our teens wanted to learn to make authentic Neopolitan pizza. Chef Chris was kind, welcoming, organized, prepared and patient. We had our vegetarian requests accommodated and everything was delicious! We had a great time bonding as a family and we loved trying something new and different.

If you’ve never taken a cooking class before, I highly recommend Chef Chris! His class was simple but made a delicious meal. Making our own pasta at home is much less daunting after a lesson from Chef Chris. The class was a anniversary gift to my boyfriend and he loved it.

Michelle

Chef Chris was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide to the techniques and flavors of Tuscany. We had a wonderful time creating and eating this beautiful meal and getting to know Chef Chris. We both recommend this experience with Chef Chris and look forward to cooking another meal with him!!

Dominic

Class was great! Chef Chris was really interesting to talk to! His knowledge of the food is clear! I liked his approach to work from texture / visuals and less from a recipe! It was a little expensive, but otherwise great!

Awesome experience Will do again

Kevin

26 Aug 2019

We really enjoyed our experience with Chef Chris. It was an intimate setting for 6 people, so even when one person handled one part of the meal execution, everyone could learn from it. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and could answer all our questions thoroughly, so we learned a lot. I also like the style of teaching where we're not taught to just follow a recipe, but instead taught to cook by scent and taste. The one recommendation I have is that because we started with making the dessert first and didn't get to the appetizer until later, we didn't have anything to eat until about 1.5-2 hours into the class. I understand from a meal prep perspective it made sense, but we were pretty ravenous by the time we could munch on the appetizer. Maybe some cheese and crackers/bread at the beginning would help, or start with the appetizer dish? Still we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and plan to return again. Thanks!

Irina

This was a great experience for me and my co-workers. I don't really like tomatoes, pasta, or coffee, YET I ate everything single thing we made because it was absolutely delicious. I never knew how good home made bruschetta, spaghetti, and tiramisu could taste. He broke the recipes down so well that I feel confident I could go home and do all of it myself. I learned so much from him and can't wait for our next class with Chris.

Carla

30 Jun 2019

We did this for a Girl's Day Out and had a BLAST. Such a fun experience. We learned a lot, the food was delicious and enjoyed an afternoon of fun conversation. I would absolutely cook with Chef Chris again.

Jonathan

18 Jun 2019

Myself, my wife and another couple decided to do this for a fun date night. While we did have fun, we did not cook. In fact we did not "Cook" a single thing. We cut all of the vegetables up for Chris to cook. It started with him making a couple types of salsa. Unfortunately, he only had about 20 tortilla chips for 6 people. We couldn't eat the salsa. There was a little awkwardness with an AIRBNB guest ordering Uber Eats as well coming through the area we were in. Finally, to making the Flan, it was already made. We were told we didn't have time to make it. In my opinion when you sign up for a "Cooking Class" you "COOK". The 6 of us did not touch a cooking device and dessert was premade or purchased. The appetizer was useless as we had not way to eat it. BTW we were told that the recipes would be emailed to us the day after. We have not received anything since.

Chris did a fantastic job in accommodating our group for a special birthday celebration. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and welcomed our merry band into his home for a truly memorable evening. The dishes he selected were thoughtfully curated - not too quotidien, but also not too complicated that we couldn't replicate - and each dish had a story behind them. I would definitely recommend the orecchiate menu option to anyone interested in a simple yet flavorful dish!

Neda

28 Mar 2019

Chef Chris was VERY knowledgeable about his craft and educating us on the food, preparation and even the rich history of the food’s origin! He was very courteous and patient with those who do not cook, a lot; and guided us through several hands on tasks, ensuring that we enjoyed the event. He even took care to ensure our dietary needs and the BEST part was that the outcome was a delicious meal our team enjoyed eating :-) We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend for professional and personal events.

Chris was a revelation. We went into this experience not knowing what to expect and were so happily surprised. Had no idea a cooking class could be so much fun! He was part of the experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable, and great company. Along with this the food was incredible. Suggest a million times. Will go again and bringing friends.

I husband I had s wonderful time. So much so that when it was over I was surprised the time had passed. The food was fun to make and my husband stirred something on the stove. Miracles really do happen. This was a Christmas gift from my husband and he got a lot of man points. It was a great gift. I look forward to doing it again.

Daniel

05 Jan 2019

This was a great experience! Would not hesitate to book again. Delicious food and Chris was so helpful and personable. I've taken a few cooking classes in the past but this is the first one that has inspired me to go out and buy new kitchen equipment in order to replicate the delicious food we had.

This is an introductory course into Italian cooking both in fundamentals and by region! Chef Chris is so delightful and the narrates the cooking experience with tradition and ease. You won't be disappointed!

The whole experience was like being at your friend’s kitchen and being taught to cook. Chris was warm from the moment we walked in and made us feel at home. He lets you do the work which was very important to actually learn the process.

I can't think of a better date night than getting covered in pasta dough -- learning how to make ravioli and tortellini from scratch. The food was delicious and Chef Chris was awesome. I can't wait to eat more of this fresh pasta.

Sebastian E.

09 Nov 2018

This has been the third class with Chris that I've attended and -- unsurprisingly -- another winner! The history of the region where the food originated in addition to the dishes themselves were incredible! It's so much fun to meet and cook with people who are as enthusiastic about food as Chris. Do yourself favor and take this class :)

Brian A.

09 Nov 2018

Chris is the BEST! I left the class feeling like all the recipes were something I could recreate at home (I also left incredibly full!). I can't wait to make the broccoli rabe pesto and homemade pasta ASAP. And the focaccia. And the dessert. Basically--everything. I encourage EVERYONE in Atlanta to take Chris' class and not only did I learn a lot but I also had a great time. I attended the class not knowing anyone, but Chris made sure we were comfortable with the new people. We all had a great time. Can't wait to do it again!

Devika

09 Nov 2018

I just took a tortellini-making class with Chris. I absolutely loved it! Everyone was so friendly and supportive and the food was absolutely divine. Chris really breaks down each step into manageable parts so it doesn't feel overwhelming or too complicated to replicate at home. Taking this class with Chris was one of my favorite things I've done in Atlanta. First of all, the food was AMAZING. Chris is an exquisite Chef. Further, the instruction he provides is very straightforward and clear. I was even able to recreate it at home without feeling overwhelmed and anxious! That's huge for me, since I often feel very afraid of my kitchen. Everyone who attended the class was friendly and supportive. I highly recommend going to his classes if you want to feel more comfortable in the kitchen and if you want to eat a lot of extremely delicious food.
