Booked this class at my daughter's apartment for her and her roommates (3 college kids working for Senators). They just loved it! So happy to find something they enjoyed and Chef Chericia was a big part of making it a great evening while giving them some cooking skill they needed.

My wife and I had a blast with Chef Chericia, I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book a cooking class! We had her over to our apartment to do the Italian night, and she made us feel completely at home, and was a very patient teacher as well. The recipes were easy to follow, and the food was delicious! We also had plenty of leftovers, which was a nice addition. If you're looking for a fun date night with delicious food and even an opportunity to learn some cooking, then I highly recommend booking with Chef Chericia!

Chef Chericia is amazing! She made making tapas simple and fun! My husband and I love cooking together and trying new recipes, but we had not yet explored Spanish cuisine as it seemed too intimidating. After learning from Chef Cher, we are excited to continue perfecting our tapas-making skills!

Chef Cher was incredible. The food she prepared was the best we've had and we are foodies. I would give her a Michelin star. She has a gift for cooking and her food has that taste that means fresh, incredibly delicious and prepared wholeheartedly. Magic touch. She was also relaxed, comfortable and very pleasant.

This was such a fun and memorable class! The menu was great and my 14-year old daughter was SO excited to learn how to make pasta. Chef Chericia was a lovely person to spend an evening with, a great teacher and both encouraging and precise (including showing us how to recover from cooking errors). We really enjoyed A Night in Italy and would absolutely take another class from Chef Chericia. Thank you!

Cherica and her sous chef were great. The food tasted amazing and answered all our questions in the preparation process. She left us extra spices so we can also try it on our own. This was a special experience for us.

Cher was incredible! We can't say enough good things about her! The food was phenomenal and she was not only willing to change the recipes on the fly, she encouraged us to be vocal about our preferences and requirements. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

Chef Chericia and her assistant were a pleasure to have as instructors for our class. They were helpful, attentive to individual skills and needs, and did a great job matching the room's energy, which is not an easy feat for a class of 18 people!

Aili

Chef Cher was incredible! We had such a great time working with her and getting to know her. She was very knowledgable and helpful, and in the end we were shocked by what we had made together. The food was absolutely delicious and we couldn't have had a greater time. We had barely started before I was already thinking of occasions in the future that we could work with Chef again. 10/10 would recommend!

Chef Chericia was truly amazing. She came fully prepared with the ingredients and the equipment that we may not have had. Seriously, she had it all! The food was out of this world.

Stephanie

22 Feb 2023

This was my first Cozymeal and I was so impressed! The amount of food, level of instruction, and chef's friendliness and expertise were all above and beyond. Every ingredient was super high-quality (shoutout Wegmans) and we have plenty of leftovers. Each dish was delish and Chef Chericia made sure to tailor flavors to our tastes - asking how much garlic we like, what our spice tolerance is, etc. Not gonna lie, I was a little skeptical on the whole Cozymeal thing, but this absolutely exceeded my expectations. Well worth the price. This is a PERFECT date night, team building, girlfriends hangout, whatever. We had a blast.

Robert

14 Feb 2023

Let me start off by saying that Chef Chericia is an amazing "person." She walked into my home smiling and ready to give me and my guest a personal experience that we could not wait to have! As "Chef Chericia," we received professionalism, enthusiasm, knowledge (because we asked a lot of questions about her journey of becoming a chef), and a very personable demeanor. My guest and I Fell.In.Love with her style of cooking. We selected the Surf and Turf meal and it was to die for! The steak was juicy with a light crust from her rub. The ingredients used were VERY flavorful. Her Risotto was authentically made as not everyone has the patience or know-how to make this and she nailed it! Our dessert was an orange/spice cake (like a pound cake), and I melted inside. THE.best.cake.ever! SUPER happy with Chef Chericia and would highly recommend her. If you skip over her, you are skipping over excellence! THANK YOU for such a wonderful experience!

We absolutely LOVED our pizza-making class with Chef Cher! She arrived at our home with so many delicious ingredients. She patiently walked us through the whole process of making the dough from scratch. The toppings she brought were so delicious and unique - things I never would have thought to put on pizza, but definitely will from now on! Chef Cher's knowledge, experience, and excellent teaching skills are all unmatched. It's clear she loves what she does. This was such a special evening for our family. I highly recommend taking a class with Chef Cher!

Stacy

03 Aug 2022

My family had Chef Cher come to our Airbnb to teach us to cook a Southern feast - fried chicken, red beans and rice, collard greens, sweet potato biscuits and banana pudding layered with bananas and Nilla wafers. We had the best time, and the food was all so well-seasoned and delish! We were nervous because the Airbnb was sparsely equipped, but Chef Cher brought all food, spices and tools we needed. By monitoring the unfamiliar stove, she was able to adjust the cooking techniques so that all the dishes came out perfectly. She gave everyone the help they needed, from my novice 14 year-old daughter to my very experienced cook mom. We laughed a lot. We also ate every last morsel over the next two days! Thank you Chef Cher for a wonderful multi-generational family experience!

Michael

18 Jul 2022

We absolutely loved our cooking class with Chef Chericia. She was personable, very knowledgeable, fun and patient with all of us. The class ran seamlessly and Chef had everything timed perfectly. It didn’t even feel like a typical cooking class because Chef made the environment so fun and effortless. We were so impressed with how all our food turned out. Way better than eating out at a restaurant! We would love to take all of Chef Chericia’s classes. She’s a star!

We all enjoyed participating in different ways and it was so much fun. I certainly learned a few tricks of the trade and can't wait to try the recipes at home. Top notch!!!

Amazing private chef experience with Chef Chericia! She came to our home, tweaked the recipes to match our dietary restrictions, and was such a pleasure to work with and learn from. I feel that she struck the perfect balance of letting you do it vs. giving you tips vs. stepping in and doing some parts herself! And of course, the food was delicious :) Thanks Chef Chericia!

Our kids gave us this sushi-making class as a gift, because it's one of our favorite foods. The class was so much fun and very educational. Chef Chericia was amazing and an absolute delight. We will definitely book her again the next time the opportunity arises. She cooks all kinds of food, not just sushi. This also introduced us to Cozymeal and we're using the service to hire a chef in another city for a birthday dinner party. I highly recommend both Cozymeal and Chef Chericia.

Chericia was amazing! I would do this again in a heartbeat. Her food was amazing - as I told her, if my mom cooked like her, I would still be living at home. She was friendly, very informative about the food and how to prepare it, and struck the perfect balance of letting us do things, helping us, and taking the lead when necessary. Do not hesitate to do this and make sure you have Chericia!

This dinner and cooking event was the highlight of our workshop. Chef was very knowledgeable and prepared an amazing menu. We had so much fun cooking together and would highly recommend this event to anyone who wants to eat the most delicious paella in the US. I've been to Valencia Spain and would honestly say this meal rivaled the food I had there.

Great experience and highly recommend Chef Cherica for a team building event!

Kelly

07 Oct 2019

I'd give zero stars if I could. I booked a sushi making class with Chef Chericia over a month ago. She moved the day and time twice (which I accommodated), but then less than two hours before she was supposed to be here, she cancelled. The class was supposed to be a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday. She basically ruined the evening by cancelling so close to the scheduled time, leaving me no time to make other arrangements. I would not recommend booking with this chef if you actually want your event to happen.

Pamela

01 Oct 2019

It was a great night and Chef Chericia was excellent.

Chef Cherica and her assistant Joy were absolutely amazing!! From the pleasant greeting, to the instructions on preparation, to assisting the team with preparation, to serving, just STELLAR! The food was so delicious!!!! Never in a million years would I have thought that I'd make pasta from scratch! She was also kind enough to provide the team with the recipes of the meals we prepared. I would recommend her services to groups for ladies night, bachelorette parties, corporate events, family events, and the list goes on and on! My team was there on Wednesday evening; and, they are still talking about how fun it was. Thank you Chef Cherica and Joy! Amazing, just simply amazing!!!

Anne

07 May 2019

We were delighted with Chef Cher's sushi class which she conducted for our 11 year old daughter's birthday party with five friends. Chef Cher was punctual, well-prepared, and arrived with all of the necessary equipment and food for a really fun session. She is not only an excellent and experienced chef and instructor, but she has a great, relaxed, manner and interacts easily with the kids. She kept their interest up throughout the lesson, engaged them with all of their questions, and taught them some great skills. The result was a pile of different kinds of sushi which the kids loved and which Chef Cher generously shared with us parents as well. She took care of clean-up and left us with a bunch of extra goodies. Our daughter and we are now inspired to try it on our own. We recommend her very highly -- you and the children won't be disappointed.

Andrea

05 May 2019

Thank you for an amazing evening, chef!! We had an awesome time learning how to make pizza. Kudos to Chef Chericia, you did an amazing job at a challenging time because one person was fasting (no meat) and another had tons of allergies!! You rose to the challenge and had us all eating and licking our fingers. Great pizzas!! I cant thank you enough. Andrea

Zachary

01 May 2019

Chericia was wonderful and very sweet to be around. She got my boyfriend - who can barely crack an egg - to not only majorly assist with cooking but to actually enjoy it! The food was phenomenal, and extremely generous - we had delicious leftovers for days afterwards. Thanks again!

Ami

25 Apr 2019

Gina

17 Feb 2019

Chericia was great!! I booked a Cozy Meal as a Valentine’s Day gift for me and my boyfriend and we had a great experience. We both learned so much and I think this experience has helped my boyfriend feel more comfortable in the kitchen. Chericia was not only a great teacher but also very patient and reaffirming during the process. My favorite part is that she came to our location so that we could cook and eat in our own space. I highly recommend CozyMeal and Chef Chericia :)

Cher is great! The meal was perfectly choreographed, we learned so much, and Cher was so gracious and talented. She navigated cooking in our apartment with ease and nothing felt awkward. We had a great time and will definitely book with her again. Also the Italian night food was so much better than I expected and I expected a lot!! :)

Chef Chericia could not have been better. My wife had wanted to take a knife skills course for some time, so I bought it for her birthday. Chef Chericia has a calm and easy manner, helps learners feel relaxed, and explains clearly. She has a great deal of knowledge and general cooking tips from years of working at some of DC’s best restaurants. We could not have asked for a better teacher.

What a fantastic experience! Chef Chericia was absolutely terrific. We organized this as a team-building event for one of our clients ... and they LOVED it! The two-day retreat featured this 3-hour Southern cooking class in the middle of day one and really helped build connections between new and old members of the team. Eating together what we prepared together was very special. Chef Chericia was super easy to work with and went out of her way to meet all of our group's needs—dietary and otherwise. I can't wait to offer more Cozymeal experiences as a part of our meeting facilitation services.

Chef Cher is AMAZING! My fiance and I did an at-home French cooking class. We had a blast with Cher and learned so much that we hope to use in future cooking experiences. Cher is very patient and tolerated my kindergarten knife skills and was very good about explaining what we were doing and how that affected the flavor and final product. The final meal was DELICIOUS- something you might order at a high-end restaurant. I had no idea mussels were so easy to make and the sauce we created was superb. All of the accompanying dishes were great too-- I seriously have no complaints. Cher is also just wonderful company and super fun to talk to. Can't recommend her enough! Take this class- you won't regret it!

Chef Chericia was great! She walked us through every step of our Italian night and was well prepared. You could tell she wasn’t afraid to switch things up a bit, and was very knowledgeable with all questions we asked. She was very friendly and courteous and we all talked and mingled while cooking. I have a gluten allergy and she was very accommodating, even thinking of how to switch up the desert so that I could partake! It was a great experience, our first with having a chef coming to the home and it is definitely something we would do again. Thank you to chef chericia for showing us how to prepare a meal we will definitely do again and again!

Chef CC was amazing! She is a gifted chef and provided the best guidance in the kitchen. The food was outstanding especially the Peach Cobbler and Polenta Grits. I consider myself a decent cook but Chef CC helped to make sure my technique becomes better as well as helpful hints. She reminded us to feel your way through the kitchen while cooking. I love it!!! In addition, she adjusted the menu to remove some of the spice and other things to make sure it was enjoyable. I definitely recommend this experience and Chef CC again!

Had a lot of fun! She walks you through the dishes step by step and gives you technical instructions I would have never known from just following a recipe. We ended up so much food at the end haha, it'll be nice not cooking for a while.

The overall cooking experience was amazing. I highly recommend Chef CC if you are considering purchasing a Cozymeal cooking class. I purchased the cooking class as a Christmas present for my girlfriend and she loved it. Chef CC is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. She is easy going and patient even if you have very little cooking experience. The food came out delicious and there was enough for leftovers the next day. Will definitely purchase another cooking class with Chef CC in the future.

I hired Chef CC as an anniversary gift to my parents & they loved it!  She took them through all the steps of preparing delicious sushi rolls, from how to make the perfect rice through chopping, assembling, rolling and elegantly presenting. CC was knowledgable and friendly.

Chef Chericia was a delight! We had so much fun with her. My friend and I took her sushi-making class. The highlight was leaning how much preparation goes into sushi rice to make it perfect and learning to roll sushi, of course! The spicy tuna was a particular highlight. She was knowledgeable, personable, and a great teacher. Would recommend to anyone!

Chef Chericia is an outstanding chef. She had some much energy and really down to earth I was so proud to she a young black female chef doing her thing. Now the food was WOW!!! I would recommend Chef Chericia to anyone looking to have a great experience.

Our experience was fantastic! Chef Cici was knowledgable and generous, both with her time and her food. We made some delicious sushi rolls, and we got to choose which ingredients we put in. And she was willing to work with me and my sister, even though we are both under 18 and other establishments would have refused. I definitely would recommend this class and trying Cozymeal in general.

Cee Cee was fantastic! I purchased "Making Pizza from Scratch" for my fiancee as a Christmas Gift. A little background, I rarely cook (I can make eggs, that is about it), however this class was both informative and fun! Cee Cee has amazing patience, to put up with my questions regarding the entire process. It was a lot of fun, the pizzas came out great, and we cannot wait to book her again for another meal. I could not have been happier with our experience, and I hope she felt the same way!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my friend's and was not sure what to expect. This was my first cooking class, and now the bar is set super high if I decide to do another one! Chef Chericia was AMAZING! She was easy to talk to, her explanations were easy to understand (especially since I practically never cook!) and the food came out DELICIOUS! My friends and I are already thinking about taking one of her other classes!

Chef Chericia came to my boyfriend's apartment in Crystal City and taught us how to make sushi. She was wonderful the whole time -- her explanations and directions were clear and helpful. I mentioned my knife skills needed work and she paid particular attention to that. And of course, there was a ton of delicious sushi for us to enjoy. Chef Chericia was the perfect balance of fun and professional. We hope to have her back!

Chef Cici's knowledge and charm provided my girlfriend & I with one of the most incredible and authentic dining experiences of our lives. We requested a customized sushi menu and Cici was willing to purchase the additional ingredients and prepare an individualized lesson. This experience makes a great Christmas, birthday, or special day celebration. Could not recommend further!!

Chef Chericia was fantastic with my two girls! She was very patient with my 11-year old, who was very anxious to eat as soon as soon as the rolls were made. Can't wait to do it again!

My friends and I had a great experience at our first Cozymeal class! We were a group of eight and we prepared an amazing meal with Chef Chericia. She brought over fresh and beautiful food and taught us some new skills in cutting and preparing each meal while we were guided through each recipe. The atmosphere was intimate and fun, and the resulting meal was very satisfying! I love to cook with my friends and it was great to have a professional chef to relieve the stress and uncertainty of the preparation process. All in all, it was a very enlightening culinary experience and I would very much recommend Cozymeal. We all plan to book a class again soon!

The cooking class that I participated in in DC was fantastic! It felt more like a dinner party with a professional chef preparing dinner for us. The class had a very relaxed and friendly environment and we were able to get involved in the preparation process as much as we liked. The class I attended was led by Chef Chericia, who cooked up a delicious seafood BBQ. I'd recommend these cooking classes, especially for a smallish dinner party or a date night :-)

Chef Chericia was such a delight! For two people who love to cook but don’t exactly have the most advanced skills she made the whole experience both educational and fun. She paid attention to all the details and showed us in a very step by step manner how to make everything we needed for the perfect (well in our case almost perfect) sushi rolls! For something that seemed very intimidating to prepare she made the whole evening very relaxed and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend the sushi experience with Chef Chericia! It was something fun and different than just going out for sushi, and now we even know how to make it ourselves!

Kirsten

Chef Chericia is a force to be reckoned with: sweet, kind, strong, and extremely talented her class was not only fun and educational but it was so enjoyable. Learning the tricks and tips she has are so valuable and I left with a better understanding of what I was doing and why.

I just discovered Cozymeal and it totally exceeded my expectations! The webpage is easy to go around, to book and to pay. I booked a private sushi class with Chef Chericia as a birthday gift for my husband. I didn´t know what to expect. But I was surprised in a good way! Chef Chericia was really kind with us, answered all our questions, she adapted very well to our little kitchen, and she even left it all cleaned up! It was like having a friend teaching you. My husband was thrilled by the so original gift, he had an amazing time and a delicious dinner! We both did!

I had the pleasure of attending Chef Chericia's cooking class during our trip to Washington, DC. Chericia is a very knowledgable, kind, and super fun teacher. Her knowledge, technique, and general approach to showing you how to prepare a delicious seafood meal is just great and she makes everything fun at the same time. We prepared the balsamic-glazed salmon and the grilled oysters and simply loved it. If you are looking for a good chef in Washington DC who can show you how to prepare good seafood (especially grilled seafood), then Chef Chericia is your chef.

Chef Chericia studied sushi for two and a half years and it shows in even the way she holds her knife. All steps are clearly communicated from how to straighten the edge of the knife to the 10 degree angle of slicing the fish. Chef Chericia has a relaxed manner that makes things seem simple and yet she is a skilled master who slices sushi rolls with precision. The fish was all super fresh and the resulting rolls were delicious. Highly recommended.
