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

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!

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!

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.

Chef Chris was great. Took his time explaining the process of handmade Ravoli. Although mine did turn out as amazing-looking as his they still tasted terrific! Looking forward to taking another virtual class with him.

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!

Chef Chris is such an excellent instructor we signed up for a second class from him. He explains and demonstrates each step very well. I'd highly recommend him!

Leticia

Chef Chris did and excellent job teaching us how to make tortellini online. He is extremely patient and teaches each step in an extremely understandable manner. I would highly recommend his classes.

I had a really good time - got to do some cooking with my family (even if it was from a distance) and made some really excellent food. In fact, I've already made this dinner a second time, it was sooo good. Thank you

This was so fun! We took a pasta making class virtually and it was so much easier to follow online than I expected and still felt engaged in the class. Highly recommend!

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!!

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

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!

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

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.

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.

My wife and I had a great time cooking with Chris. We learned some history about where the dish originated and the nonna’s who made it. Great fun! We will do it again.

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.

Samuel

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

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.
