Chef James made a steak dinner for four of us at home, and it was such a hit! The food was incredible, James is a charismatic and talented chef! He called me after I booked the experience to confirm likes and dislikes, any changes or add-ons to the meal, and really catered the whole experience to ensure all four guests were happy with the meal. The portions were incredible too, we were so full afterwards and still have yummy leftovers. Thanks for the great meal, James!!

First time using cozy meal and couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience! Chef James is so friendly, easy to talk to, courteous, and embraced feedback. He shared a bit about himself and made the whole experience so personable! He has a lot of knowledge to share which was awesome.
It was amazing having a chef with a Michelin background provide such a delicious meal and we were left so stuffed! Would highly recommend him!
