Chef Bobby was an excellent chef and teacher/entertainer -- we all learned really useful tips and enjoyed his perspectives and stories -- but the meal itself was the piece de resistance we're all still raving about each course of Chef Bobby's elegant Italian Duck Menu. Cannot wait to do this again!

We gifted this experience to our parents as a Christmas gift… we live on the other side of the country and Chef Bobby made the event seamless and FUN! Our family had the best time and could not have better things to say about Chef Bobby and the entire night. Would highly recommend! Thanks Chef Bobby!!

We loved our steak experience with Chef Bobby. Bobby was easy to communicate with, timely, and made the whole experience interactive and fun. We were first-timers on Cozymeal, but this meal will not be our last. Thanks again, Bobby!

We had a great time at our class with Chef Bobby! I appreciated his focus on teaching us techniques to elevate our cooking at home. He provided a very friendly and comfortable experience for the evening with delicious food and lots of laughs. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family in the DC area.

Honestly the most fun and absolutely delicious meal my wife and I have ever had! We've gone to dozens of cooking classes and Bobby is vastly the best host and chef we've seen. All four dishes were better than the last! We've decided that chef Bobby is the only cooking instructor we're ever going to use!

Some old friends and I were having a reunion and signed up for this class as soon as we saw duck was on the menu. Chef took us through each step of the cooking process for every course, and was so willing to share his knowledge and insights. The food was novel and delicious, and pairing an escalated dining experience with the comforts of home and easy company made this experience incredibly worth it. Thanks for a great time, Chef Bobby!

The Seasonal Seafood Dinner with Chef Bobby is incredible. Rebecca and I had a great time getting to know Chef Bobby and the food was absolutely delicious. Chef Bobby is extremely personable and freely shares on the tricks of his trade. The food was prepared to perfection, and Rebecca and I are already attempting to incorporate what we learned into our weekly cooking projects. I can't recommend Chef Bobby and this menu highly enough!

My two friends and I really enjoyed the Filipino Feast. Chef Bobby is very personable, down to earth, and clearly enjoys being in the kitchen. He passed on cooking tips while he showed us how to make a delicious three-course meal. We could not have been more pleased.

Our experience with Cozymeal and Chef Bobby exceeded our expectations in every way! Chef Bobby was an engaged teacher who laid down some knowledge in a way that was educational while still fun. He was enjoyable to be around, but wasn't overly comfortable to the point of impinging on our date night experience. And THE FOOD...I devoured every course. I don't know why, but I wasn't expecting the level of deliciousness that Chef Bobby delivered. Superb. I'd highly recommend his courses to anyone! My husband and I plan on utilizing Cozymeal regularly for date night!

Chef Bobby is great! And the food that he produced was a 15/10. Would highly recommend his services! We’re looking forward to booking him again.

The cooking experience was a surprise gift for my husband’s 50th birthday, and Chef Bobby did not disappoint. The food was amazing, and he was very informative each step of the way. My young daughters participated, and they were both intrigued and excited. Chef Bobby made the evening fun for them as well. Again, the food (Duck, pasta, salad, dessert) was very delicious, the conversation was a bonus, and the few leftovers put a smile on our faces even more the next day! Would definitely recommend Chef Bobby to anyone looking for that special, out of the box experience!! It was great!

Chef Bobby was excellent, couldn't have had a better time! He was on time, checked in with me prior to arriving to ensure that he had all the details correct, and was the friendliest guy imaginable. He was great at explaining what he was doing and why, giving us a chance to ask questions about it or any other cooking questions. He made us very comfortable and the food was incredible! We had the leftovers of the dessert for breakfast. Thank you so much Chef Bobby, hope to work with you again!

Chef Bobby was awesome! Besides cooking a delicious meal, he was also fun and extremely personable. Everything was perfect, but the potatoes au gratin and the tarte tatin were to die for! A memorable dinner! Can't wait for the next one!

Chef Bobby was fantastic! This was a surprise gift for my girlfriend's 30th birthday and we love cooking together. Bobby showed up early to prepare and was so professional, caring, sweet, and made fabulous food. We sat and chatted with him for a while after the meal as well. I would highly recommend chef Bobby to anyone looking for such a unique experience.
