My husband and I were gifted a Cozymeal gift card and decided to put it toward a private chef experience. Chef Derrick cooked a beautiful meal for us. The steaks were huge and flavorful, the avocado fries were crispy and the side dishes were all tasty. It was our first time trying potatoes terrine and we liked the way he prepared this particular side dish. Our dinner was very gourmet and Chef Derrick was professional, easy to make conversation with and he even let my toddler snack on some of the ingredients while he was cooking. We enjoyed leftovers the next day because there was so much food!! Thank you Chef Derrick for a memorable Valentine's Day.

OMG - Wonderful! We enjoyed the experience with another couple. We knew it would be fun but were not prepared for how exquisite the food would taste. To have someone of Chef Derrick’s pedigree come to our house and prepare that meal on a Saturday night was a total privilege. It is only due to his unique (and impressive) day job as an executive chef that he would be available. We learned so many cooking tips too. Plus Derrick has a wonderful, polite and humble personality.

We enjoyed our evening with Chef Derrick very much. Derrick was very personable and explained the French Cuisine dinner from the prep to the cooking to the plating very well. Giving us useful tips along the way for even our everyday cooking. The dinner itself was very tasteful and satisfying. Chef Derrick brought everything to our kitchen from all the food to everything to cook it with. Looking forward to recreating the dish in the future, but probably not as well as Chef Derrick. Next time when we invite Chef Derrick over we'll have some friends join us. Thanks Cozymeal and Chef Derrick!!

Chef Derrick is very organized, friendly, and a delight to observe his talents. We received a gift certificate for Classic Spanish Flavors and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. He’s so good we are already planning another gathering with him.
