Chef Alex was an incredible! He came with all the tools and experience to make this such a fun time. He is incredibly flexible with menu and you can text him about customization. He took a lot of time to teach lifelong techniques and the meal was wonderful. We absolutely will be booking again!

Communicated my feedback to cozymeal already and they were great! My boyfriend and I had a fine time but we were looking for a bit more for the price. Just a few things like general professionalism, time alone to enjoy our meal, and more hands on contributing to the meal. I’m sure they’ve taken that feedback to improve future experiences.

Alex was phenomenal and would absolutely book again!! He crafted a spectacular menu tailored to our tastes / allergies, and walked us through his entire process so we feel like we learned a lot along the way. Plating was beautiful, such a special treat. Can’t go wrong with booking Alex! Thanks for a great evening!

We had a great class! Made a nice date night. Alex taught us a lot, and it was really a treat to have such a complex, delicious meal made for us in our own kitchen! Appreciated the hands on experiences, like learning how to make spring rolls and fried tofu -- easier than expected! -- as well as lots of pro tips about ingredients, equipment, technique, and of course, cooking.

We had an amazing time! Alex did an amazing job leading us through the class. He has so many great pieces of advice and a bunch of interesting stories too! Alex was also really prepped for this class. He brought all the ingredients, plates, and pans too. My personal favorite was the risotto with the tofu- what a unique dish! I’d highly recommend this class!
