Class was great- right balance of hands on learning and getting to eat! Chris was fantastic. I especially appreciated that he applied techniques that could be replicated at home, without having to buy new gadgets. Food was delicious. Also felt like class size was appropriate; nice group.

We took the "Homestyle Korean Favorites" lesson. It was a great experience. Chef Chris is a great host and teacher. The food was amazing and easy to make at home. He is also a great person to talk with. I recommend improving the atmosphere, like background music which matches the meal. Maybe something to drink (wine or cocktail). We will be back for sure.

Wonderful class with Chef Chris today! My adult son and I had a great time and our ravioli was absolutely delicious! Chris was calm, patient, and a great instructor! The session wasn’t rushed at all. We enjoyed that the class wasn’t a large number so that it felt very personalized for us to receive guidance and feedback, as needed. We were able to show our progress with the pasta dough and also finished ravioli. Chris did a fantastic job of having the camera angled for our observation of his working with the food prep but also would put the camera on home I’m self to talk to the class. AWESOME! I’ll definitely participate with Chef Chris for more online classes!

Great experience! Chris is an awesome teacher. I really feel like I could re create the dishes myself. The kitchen and setup was nice but the teacher was the reason I’m leaving 5 stars. Thank you Chris!

Tracy

Our dinner with Chris was fantastic! The food was delicious (and plentiful). His knowledge of all things Italy and Italian cooking is great. We would follow him on a cooking/eating tour in a heartbeat and would have him back in our home again. The experience was top notch!

Kristen

16 May 2023

We had a great time with Chef Chris! It was fun and delicious.

Scott

14 May 2023

Chris was friendly and knowledgeable, and the meal we prepared was excellent. However, despite repeated attempts, he has not provided copies of the recipes as promised. No seating was provided, so we had to stand for 3 full hours, including while eating. The kitchen space was minimal and would not be suitable for more than 2 participants.

Alan

24 Apr 2023

Chris was awesome. Very professional and personable. Food was excellent. A great experience.

Lori

02 Apr 2023

We had such a great time with Chef Chris. He has excellent teaching skills and helps even the most anxious cook feel like a pro.

Laurel

31 Mar 2023

Chris was awesome and the food was delicious! We learned how to work with flavors and ingredients we would not normally use, so even more advanced cooks can certainly benefit. Loved that you get the recipes afterward so you can recreate at home! Highly recommend!

Chris was excellent. We had a great time and learned so much! Very fun.

Kyle

27 Mar 2023

Chris was very punctual, fast to communicate, and professional. He even rescheduled for us the day before because we booked the wrong day! Here’s what to expect: 1) Amazing food that is super fun to watch Chris work and talk with. Top chef quality. 2) Chris is highly trained chef and incredibly knowledgeable about food science 3) Chris brings all supplies that he needs and will clean up after 10/10 recommend, which we have already done so to most everyone we know.

Chris was friendly, informative, and overall great company to spend 3 hours learning to cook from him. His recipes were simple enough to not be overwhelming to learn and came out delicious, we're eager to throw our own pasta-making night!

Sandy

24 Mar 2023

My son and I really enjoyed our time with Chef Chris. He is extremely knowledgeable about the ingredients and cooking methods as well as the regions different food sources are grown and harvested. It was a delicious meal and fun time spent bonding over tasty food! Thanks Chef Chris!

Michael

15 Mar 2023

Chris was a real treat. He’s a humble and extremely knowledgeable teacher who, you can tell, really loves his craft. Yes, the food was amazing, but we really just enjoyed peppering him with questions around the “why” we used certain ingredients or prepped foods in certain ways. He knows much of the history and culture behind the recipes and how specific ingredients or preparations add to the success of the dish. This was a very enjoyable anniversary gift for my wife and I.

Tywanna

14 Mar 2023

Chef Chris was amazing! He was very informative with an great personality. My son and I were very comfortable talking and engaging with him straightaway. I am definitely planning to schedule another class soon.

Sanil

22 Feb 2023

Great experience. Great customer service. Great conversation, learned about the dishes and most importantly great food. First time user of cozymeal and will definitely use Chef Chris again. Made enough for leftovers the next day. Also great with my toddler who probably was getting in the way of his cooking trying to show chef all his trucks and dinosaurs.

Ginny

17 Feb 2023

Evening was enjoyable, informative, and delicious. Chris is a great teacher and incredibly knowledgeable on all things culinary and Italian!

Dina

Our first cooking class exceeded our expectations! Chef Chris was awesome - we were all engaged in making our 3-course meal. The main event was eating what we prepared and it was delicious! Can’t wait to make our own Roman Italian meal.

Kayla

17 Feb 2023

We had a great night with Chef Chris! Very knowledgeable and was able to answer every question we had. Food was delicious, we can’t wait to try and use some of why we learned at home! Would definitely recommend!

Marvis

15 Feb 2023

We had an amazing experience with Chef Chris! He was very knowledgeable about the meal we were making and you could tell he really loves to share his passion of food with others.

Elizabeth

14 Feb 2023

It was amazing! Chef Chris was astounding, super professional, and very knowledgeable. Todd was amazing during his opera performance. Ultimately an unforgettable experience. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Nadia

13 Feb 2023

My husband and I had a wonderful time cooking with Chef Chris. He's a fascinating guy and an excellent teacher. The food was delicious too. This may become an annual Christmas gift for my husband, who actually made risotto for the very first time. Thank you so much!

Blaine

11 Feb 2023

We had a blast! It was well organized, and just the right amount of “work”, but mostly just enjoying the food and company. Learned some stuff, loved the singing, and would recommend Chris.

Brooke

06 Feb 2023

Chef Chris knows his stuff and made things simple from the moment we arrived. Four other guests were there, so dinner was a collaborative effort and tons of fun. The courses were simple enough but Chris showed us the proper way of holding a knife, kneading pasta dough, frying zucchini and more. We hope to take another class soon!

Fawn

04 Feb 2023

We were welcomed into Chef Chris’s house and all the ingredients were set up. The small class was intimate and friendly. Chef kept us focused with clear instructions to create an incredible cooking/dining experience. Fresh ingredients, intimate atmosphere, knowledgeable chef = great experience. Highly recommend this for couples and/or good friends.

Paul Wiseman

14 Nov 2022

Very good and enthusiastic. Really good explanation of flavours and how they work together (or not). As a suggestion, it would have been good to have 2 cameras, one on Chris and one top down on food as it's being prepared/cooking Thanks Paul

Cassandra

24 Oct 2022

19 Sep 2022

This class was phenomenal! However, it is a 3-4 hour class so be prepared. If I had any recommendations, I would say to have the class to make the dough for the Focaccia ahead, peel and cube the squash ahead of class.

Chef Chris was absolutely fantastic! I wanted to do something special for my husband's 65th birthday and it was perfect. We loved the fresh and elegant ingredients, and he graciously shared many of his tips and recipes. With his background as a culinary educator and personal chef, I'd highly recommend Chef Chris for a private dinner or a team-building event!

Darryl

27 Jun 2022

I had an amazing experience with my wife. This was perfect for a date night. I plan to do this again with a different menu. I hope to have Chef Chris again!! He was funny, knowledgeable, and patient. As a novice, I felt right at home. Chris was an amazing host.

Tessa

20 Apr 2022

great small class, with personal touches. picked up some helpful tips and tricks to help my culinary skill learning.

Jacqueline

10 Apr 2022

Unfortunately getting the ingredient list took many requests and all of the participants felt the chef was a tad impatient at times making us feel rushed. This was odd because the chef was late starting, and we only had downloaded 3 of the 6 custom recipes (I think they were not all uploaded at the same time so we missed the last 3). However, it was still an enjoyable experience. Chef Chris’s dish looked great tho.

Whitney

09 Apr 2022

Chef Chris was an excellent guide, attentive to our questions and making sure we had adequate time to finish each step so no one fell out of sync. I especially enjoyed learning about the history of the foods we were preparing and a bit of the chemistry involved in cooking.

17 Apr 2021

Great experience learning to incorporate wine in my recipes. Enjoyed having Chef Chris explain more about the recipes; for example, best to use fresh herbs with the roasted grapes; how to best toast the bread for the appetizer; options instead of double boiler. He is definitely hands on and prepared to make the recipes with his participants. Highly recommend his classes.

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

03 Apr 2021

We very much enjoyed the event, which was a little hard to keep up with at times (meaning, Chef went a little fast), but that's probably cause this was out 1st virtual cooking event and our own prepartion may have been a little lacking in some areas. I love the fact that I now know how to make pasta, and I love the Panzanella Salad - I make my own croutons all the time - they're delicious - this is another thing I loved learning how to make. We are better for the experiecne cause we learned so much. Thanks!

Christopher

02 Apr 2021

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

Chelsea

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.

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.

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.

Basil

21 Feb 2021

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.

Jen

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!

Elizabeth

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!

Amanda

12 Feb 2021

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.

Sarah

11 Feb 2021

The meals were fun and easy. Would have loved more of the opera singing:)

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!!

Beth

Dave

Chef Chris was fantastic. He did a wonderful job of instructing and providing detail and helpful hints throughout the experience. He also had his spouse serenade us with some Italian Opera at one point which was an amazing surprise. Our team and clients had a great experience and evening together thanks to Chef Chris!

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

Liz

03 Feb 2021

Thank you for the experience of learning Italian cooking. My family really enjoyed the simple but delicious Italian dishes that I created.

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.

Sky

29 Jan 2021

Really friendly and patient! This was our first cozymeal booking and we're very excited to do more.

Dear Chris, we really enjoyed the class. It was a one of a kind experience...your presentation of how to make the dishes, specially the pasta was fantastic. The lemon creamy sauce was delicious! And to add to the fun, the Opera singer was great! Thank you so much! What a memorious event, congratulations! Mercedes and Jose (invited by our daughter Vanessa and Sean.

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!

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.

Roger

10 Jan 2021

Had a terrific time and created a delicious meal. Thanks to Chris for the excellent session and also to his spouse for the outstanding opera performance bonus! Surprised and enjoyed! Wasn't sure what to expect but was really a great experience. Thanks Chris!

Britni

10 Jan 2021

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.

Franco

10 Jan 2021

Excellent chef! Organized, helpful and interesting. We would definitely book him again for our next cozymeal experience.

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.

Leah

28 Dec 2020

Chef Chris was great with our crazy work group. Very informative and clear, easy to follow instructions for students with all levels of cooking experience. Would not hesitate to book another class with Chef Chris!

We greatly enjoyed our pasta making evening with Chef Chris! He made pasta making easy and fun. We also loved the salad and tiramisu and feel we will make these dishes again. We highly recommend Cozymeal!

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!

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

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.

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......

Erin

05 Dec 2020

Great experience learning new techniques! Lots of fun!!

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.

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!!
