We had an incredible experience with Chef Cregg, who masterfully guided our group of 10 colleagues on a culinary journey through the flavors of Southern France. The industrial kitchen was laid out perfectly, creating both a professional and welcoming atmosphere where we could interact, learn, and cook together. Chef Cregg did a fantastic job educating us on different techniques and recipes while keeping the session engaging and fun. The BYOB option added a nice touch, allowing everyone to bring a variety of beverages to complement the dishes we prepared. The highlight, of course, was enjoying the delicious food we created under Chef Cregg’s guidance. Thank you, Chef Cregg, for an unforgettable evening of learning, cooking, and camaraderie!

I had such an amazing experience at this cooking class! We had so much fun and learned so many new skills. The hand sushi rolls and spring rolls were my favorite, and I can’t wait to recreate them at home. The chef was incredible—so knowledgeable, full of great energy, and made the whole class enjoyable from start to finish. I’ll definitely be booking another class soon!

Alan

My wife and I had a great time at Chef Cregg's vegan French cooking class. It was a very educational class, as we were put to task and busy pretty much the whole time. We walked away with new food knowledge, cooking skills, and plenty of leftovers. Highly recommend!

Michelle

Chef Cregg was great. He provided a really great class for folks with different levels of cooking experience. He was personable, fun to be around and shared some of his own stories.

Kelley

15 Mar 2025

I highly recommend this class and Chef Cregg! He is friendly, funny, and makes the space feel very cozy. He allowed us to explore and even taught us some long-lasting cooking fundamentals. Food was great. I surprised my girlfriend for our anniversary; it was just the two of us, and it couldn't have gone better. 10/5 experience. If you think about the amount of work that goes into this-- coming up with recipes, shopping, prep, the actual class, AND the cleanup-- you realize you really get your money's worth. He even accommodated for gluten-free. Chef Cregg is awesome. We will definitely be back for other classes.

Jasmine

Chef Cregg led an incredible cooking class where my girlfriend and I crafted delicious handmade ravioli from scratch. Beyond the tasty outcome, Chef Cregg's thoughtful approach stood out. He not only shared his culinary expertise but also accommodated my allergies, going the extra mile to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. His passion for cooking and genuine care for participants shine through. The added bonus? A fantastic playlist that added to the overall joy. If I could, I'd give him a 100/10 score for an outstanding culinary and personal touch!

Casey

28 Feb 2024

Such a fun experience! Chef Cregg was super personable and helped us have fun while making a truly delicious meal. He also gave us a bunch of ideas and suggestions for cooking at home.

Jacinta said she had a magnificent experience in your The Art of Making Pasta class! She was giddy and excited like a school girl for a couple of days. She plans to bring her girlfriends to one of your classes. Amongst the things she mentioned she said that you were very attentive and a great teacher. She actually let me taste what she created and it was deeeeeelicous! We'll see you again sir! 6 stars!

Courtney

13 Jan 2024

Loved our evening with Chef Cregg! Chef had great positive energy and was a wonderful teacher - we learned a lot and had fun doing it. We were challenged but we weren't intimidated - it can be tough to find that balance. Can't wait to try out our new panzanella and pasta-making skills at home. Would definitely recommend this class!

Raya

06 Jan 2024

10/10 would recommend this class for anyone looking for a good time with loved ones or to meet new people. Chef Cregg is an amazing teacher and I will definitely try to take more classes with him!

Michael

Friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. Expected more hands on instruction though since I am a beginner. Wasn't fully present thoughout.

Shauna

04 Jan 2024

So glad our friends gifted us this opportunity to learn a new cuisine, meet new friends, and observe a chef who loves what he does!

Danielle

30 Dec 2023

It was fun for the first time ever doing one of these. But maybe we shouldn’t have gone to one where we were very familiar with the food? Hand rolls were the best! The peanut sauce was my least favorite thing, but I’ve had and made lots of peanut sauces. The stir fry was not really stir fry but a soggy mess. Dessert delicious. Meeting new people for some laughs was excellent. Now I have an idea what these events are like.

Connie

30 Dec 2023

Chef Cregg was wonderful! We had a blast, learned new things and made some really delicious food. Highly recommend!

Christine

28 Dec 2023

This was the perfect experience with friends for my birthday. Chef Cregg was super fun, knowledgeable and just hands on enough to make sure we didn’t mess anything up. The food was delicious (best cake I’ve ever had too!). Tip: don’t go on a completely empty stomach - the pasta takes a while to prepare but is worth the wait!

Lindsey

27 Dec 2023

Fantastic experience! Chef Cregg has a wealth of knowledge. We would love to do another plant based class!

Would recommend this class to ANYONE, first time taking one of Chef Cregg’s classes and will definitely be back! Bought this for my mother as a birthday present and will do this for years to come. The food was incredible, the class was taught in a way where not only did the food come out incredible but the lesson was retainable. Wish I could give 10/5 as this was a Perfect experience.

Chef Cregg went above and beyond to make sure my partner and I were comfortable and having a great time cooking and learning.. We had such an amazing experience! The food we made was perfect. The kitchen was picture perfect. The atmosphere was second to none. I picked Chef Cregg because of all of his great reviews and he did not disappoint in any areas. I was able to propose to my partner and the night was better than I could have ever imagined. Chef even knew what music to play to set the mood. THAT’S a Wingman Chef!! Thank you so much Chef Cregg for being a part of the best date night we’ve ever had!! Can’t recommend enough!!

We had such a good time. We are both more comfortable using a knife, as we have nearly no experience with knives in this way. Chef Cregg is an engaging teacher!

KAREN

06 Aug 2023

We had a ball. At the last minute, I was able to add my daughter, so it was fun going together. Our chef was terrific. Very knowledgeable. Our 2 hour adventure turned into three, but we needed that time. FYI for the future. Really enjoyable, small group, lots of hands-on experience for us. He made it easy to follow what he was saying. By the end, my brain was shut down so all the great stuff he shared about the noodles flew by my brain, but they were delicious when I finally ate them today. Anyway, it was a really great experience. I like the venue, I've been there before picking up a friend of mine who took really big long fancy cooking classes there. She was a big long fancy cooking person. I on the other hand like these very small classes that are over and done with in a matter of hours. I look forward to coming again, and I will look forward to your classes in the future as well. Thank you, Goldey.

Sherry

Chef Cregg does not just provide education, he creates an experience. Chef Cregg set the tone for every single moment of this cooking class. His creative style will have you at the edge of your cutting board all night long - all while jamming out to an excellent music playlist. Chef Cregg teaches kitchen etiquette, knife handling, craftiness, and even how humor is vitally important in the midst of it all. Regardless of your cooking background, you will definitely enjoy the journey through this class. 10/10!!!

Melissa

I had the pleasure of booking Chef Cregg for a private Mother's Day French vegan cooking experience with my mom and it was absolutely fantastic! Chef Cregg's cooking space was inviting and equipped with top notch equipment and high quality vegan ingredients. His instructions were superb and he provided excellent support throughout. Chef Cregg's warm and kind personality made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a lot of fun and learned so much. It was a memorable Mother's Day that we will cherish forever. I highly recommend Chef Cregg, even for non vegans. The food was delicious and eye opening, showcasing the possibilities of plant-based eating. The three-hour experience was perfectly curated and the meals were incredibly decadent. We left feeling stuffed and satisfied. Chef Cregg's culinary skills are truly exceptional - the flavors and textures of the dishes were outstanding. You won't be disappointed with his cooking! I highly recommend booking him for a unique and delicious culinary journey.

Bhumi

03 Apr 2023

Chef Cregg was very friendly and informative in his teaching. He made the class fun and taught us new cooking techniques. The only drawback was the other people in the class who treated it as a joke so we ran out of time to learn everything that was on the menu. Next time, we might do a private class to get the full on experience.

David Alchalel

25 Mar 2023

There's a reason Chef Cregg has 5 stars. Highly highly recommend him, takes a lot of pride in his classes and the food is delicious, he made the class beyond enjoyable.

We held a Corporate Team Building event this past weekend with Chef Cregg. We learned to make Thai cuisine. We had an amazing time and learned some new cooking skills too! Such a great atmosphere and Chef Cregg was an amazing, interactive teacher. Would highly recommend CozyMeal and Chef Cregg!

Justin

23 Feb 2023

I can't say enough great things about Chef Cregg! I booked him for a private lesson with my wife and I for her birthday and we were so happy with the night. Not only was the food delicious, he taught us great skills, introduced us to new methods of cooking and he brought great energy and vibes the whole night! We are already talking about other dates to work with him again, maybe even with more people because he's a gem that more people need to meet. Highly, highly recommend! And for context, we had the French Vegan Dinner, which was INCREDIBLE. My wife and I are both vegan and he made sure that we were well taken care of. We also had plenty of leftovers which we really appreciate as meal preppers ourselves.

Justine Ma

23 Feb 2023

Harrison

01 Feb 2023

Our experience with Chef Cregg was great! He arrived with a cart of all of his equipment and ingredients, set up in our kitchen, and then proceeded to give us a crash course in making a multi-course dinner from scratch. He really made it a point to teach us and took the time to answer all of our questions, rather than just whip through the steps. Highly recommend.

Tracy

Chef Cregg taught us basic knife skills, kitchen safety tips, & walked us through every dish. Prep & cooking took 2 hours, chef brought everything needed, pots pans, ingredients, etc. Clean up was another hour. Chef Cregg is an amazing instructor, very down to earth, & the sweetest! He made this an experience we won’t soon forget. It felt like we were just cooking with a friend.

Such an amazing experience! Chef Cregg was kind and knowledgeable, brought all the ingredients including special substitutions for my dietary restrictions. It was not only a fabulous meal but we learned how to make a number of dishes. While we ate he did the clean up and then dished the dessert. Why hadn’t I found Cozymeal sooner? Such a fun experience and I highly recommend Chef Cregg!

Chef Cregg provided me and my girlfriend with an amazing experience for our anniversary dinner. An evacuation notice was place on the building for a few minutes and our dinner was interrupted for a moment. Chef Cregg remained professional and was very flexible. We enjoyed his menu and his lesson was very detailed and informative. He was well equipped and all we had to provide him was access to our small kitchen! We enjoyed our meal and he even helped us clean up. We are still enjoying our left overs, lol. We will definitely keep in touch for future events. He even got along with our dog! Can't wait to do this again :)

Carla Passmore

I attended Chef Cregg's class as a part of a work team building event. Chef Cregg was great. He did a good job of engaging each member of our team to make sure everyone felt included. The meal was delicious and inclusive of all taste buds and food preferences. He even made a separate salad for one of my team members who doesn't eat cucumbers. Awesome job Chef Cregg!

Christa Nickel

Our team of 11 participated in the pasta challenge with Chef Cregg. His welcome was so warm and the charcuterie board was spectacular. Chef Cregg provided the best instructions without overwhelming the team. Our team was excited and energized as we prepped and cooked each course. What an endeavor and the results were memorable.

What a great night with Cregg. His food was delicious, he was patient, on time and we learned a lot. Cregg had a great vibe and we had a lot of fun cooking with him. We will definitely use his sevices again!!!

We selected the Thai From Scratch cooking lesson to celebrate my mom's birthday and it was the best gift. Chef Cregg kept our whole family engaged -- teaching better knife skills to our most advance cooks and answering all our random questions about food prep along the way. We all learned something and enjoyed the hands on time together. What a special experience. We will definitely do this again!

Chef Cregg’s Charcuterie Board demonstration was fabulous! We had so much fun participating in preparing, cooking, and building our boards. His presentation, personality and professionalism was outstanding. He is highly recommend and we look forward to another party in the future! Thanks again Chef!

We had a fantastic time with Chef Cregg. He is very knowledgable, a great teacher and excellent chef. We preferred to have a cooking demonstration instead of a cooking class and he was very accommodating. Highly recommended!

Thank you Chef Cregg for a wonderful team building cooking class. We were early to the class as parking was surprisingly easy, but Chef was ready for us. The class was exciting, very informative and incredibly delicious. All 11 of us got plenty of hands on cooking time, tons of tips, knife safety skills and Chef Cregg worked hard at increasing our perception of various ingredients (fresh herbs, dried mushrooms etc). The meal at the end was exquisite. We were very satisfied! 5 stars, would take the class again!

Chef Cregg is the real deal. He has a strong background as a chef and he’s a great teacher. It’s rare to find both! His space has a cool warehouse conversion-type vibe. The equipment we used was pretty basic, which makes it more likely that we’ll be able to replicate the techniques at home. With that said, this was a busy lesson with lessons learned around every corner. Definitely need to bring some energy to get the most out of it.

We joined Chef Cregg for an advanced class although we are beginners. Chef adapted and took the time to first re-explained a bunch of basics such as knives holding and slicing (vegetables, meat, etc). Everything was setup in advance (materials, ingredients) so we can focus on the prep and cooking and we had 1 station each with plenty of space. Chef would show us the expectations, teaches us techniques (ex: how to use the different robots and tools) and I loved that he let us do everything. My BF and I really enjoyed the experience, the food turned out great and we had leftovers :P Highly recommend Chef Cregg and his Southern France menu!

Lovely experience at Chef Cregg's unique and artsy space in Oakland. As others have said, his lessons are packed with practical and actionable tidbits and he's an experienced teacher, sharing his knowledge and expertise in a way that anyone, from the novice to the experienced, can learn something new to take home. You can sense his creative side in every part of his studio space, full of interesting details, every tool ever needed, and funky music to make the evening special. At first glance, the menu might seem simple, but don't be fooled: this is truly a special dinner, with delicious flavors, surprise ingredients (luxurious ones, too), and using all kinds of expert techniques. It's a meal you are going to want to replicate for someone special in your life. We were a bit slow on the cooking, so we only got eating by the time our session should have been done. The result is that we gobbled everything up super quickly (wish we had had a bit more time to relax, but we also had a babysitter waiting). So while you should bring an appetite, I'd suggest eating a light snack before coming so that you aren't like us, trying to eat everything as we were making it. We enjoyed our time at Chef Cregg's and highly recommend this experience!

An enjoyable experience for my friend and me. Chef Cregg was super-knowledgeable, professional, patient, and positive. Loved the menu he chose for this class and learned a lot of extra tips from him while preparing and cooking the food. Would definitely like to take more classes with Chef Cregg in the future!

My wife and I had such an incredible time with Cregg. We learned a huge amount and he was able to cater the lessons to our level of experience. It was all hands-on from start to finish with a rich amount of information, and pro tips. The class went more than an hour over time and we never felt rushed. The food was incredible, and we got to take home a TON of delicious leftovers. This was really a phenomenal experience.

Chef Cregg was absolutely and utterly exceptional. He took our bizarre Airbnb kitchen totally in stride and was totally delightful and taught us a ton and we wound up with an amazing dinner. Best bachelorette party ever!

Chef Cregg was amazing!! From his introduction, throughout our dinner, and until the time we left we had a blast. My wife and I did not know what to expect and chef Cregg exceeded our expectations. The food was great, we laughed, we learned great techniques and will definitely be going back.
