Online Cooking Class - Date Night at the Italian Opera
Online Cooking Class - Date Night at the Italian Opera
Enjoy an Italian dinner (and a show!) in this virtual cooking class with Chef Chris.
Join Italy-trained Chef Chris and master three authentic Italian dishes at home in this interactive online cooking class featuring pantry-friendly ingredients and a performance by a professional opera singer.
First, learn how to craft a simple but flavor-forward panzanella salad, then get to rolling homemade pasta dough with just a few ingredients and complemented by a lemon-cream sauce — no pasta machine required. End your delicious meal with a classic tiramisu.
"Savor a date night at the opera from the comfort of your own home. In this romantic class, you'll make fresh fettuccine with your Italy-trained chef. After crafting a decadent meal together, we'll close out your romantic evening with a live concert — sung by a professional opera singer! Transport yourself to Italy in this orchestra of flavors." - Chef Chris

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!

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 :)

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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......

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.

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

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

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.

Deborah
13 Sep 2020
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.
Michael

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Cooking with Chris was a great experience... From the cooking, the conversation, the atmosphere and overall experience... Everything was phenomenal. He gave us a great experience and an amazing memory. He definitely knows what he is talking about and we plan to cook with him again.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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.
After discovering his passion for cooking as an Italian language instructor at UC Berkeley, Chef Chris went on to be the co-founder of a culinary event business, specializing in regional Italian cooking, and then worked as a chef teaching cooking classes for corporate groups, cultivating a 5-star rating. Chef Chris now works with a company providing walking food tours of Little Italy as well as teaching his lauded cooking classes.
