Booked the class Vegan French Cooking with Chef Cregg in Los Angeles (South Los Angeles)
Booked this to celebrate an anniversary, and we had a lovely time with Chef Cregg. Really everything we could've wanted from a cooking class like this. Thanks!
Booked the class French Seafood Specialties with Chef Mateus in Manhattan (Flatiron District)
My second class with Chef Mateus and neither has disappointed! He is patient, knowledgeable, and adaptable to any cooking setting. Both sessions I've walked away with tricks that I can implement at home to be a better cook.
Booked the class Gourmet Classics with Chef Pierre C. in Los Angeles (Westwood)
Dinner with Pierre C is a fully entertaining experience! However, BEWARE! The direction of the evening is largely dependent on YOU as well! If you're looking for a fantastically, wonderful evening filled with fun, food, and tidbits of knowledge and insights... have Pierre C over to your home! If you are expecting a flat-out detailed cooking class... this might not be what you're after. My suggestion... prepare for a fun night, jump in, and play!

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.

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.

Excellent experience with an easy to follow guide and delicious food!
Booked the class French Seafood Specialties with Chef Mateus
Super entertaining, knowledgeable, patient teacher. Chef Mateus shared his cooking secrets and helpful pointers. Was a very enjoyable and intimate cooking experience with me and my Mom not to mention the food was amazing.
Booked the class A Culinary Journey to Southern France with Chef Cregg
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!

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.
Booked the class A Culinary Journey to Southern France with Chef Cregg in Los Angeles (South Los Angeles)
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!
Booked the class A Culinary Journey to Southern France with Chef Cregg in Los Angeles (South Los Angeles)
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!
Booked the class The Sole of a Fish with Chef Pierre C. in Redondo Beach (North Redondo)
What a fantastic experience! We booked Chef Pierre's "The sole of a fish" cooking class in Los Angeles and had him come to our place to provide us an in-home cooking class as a date night. Chef Pierre arrived on time with all the equipment and ingredients. He walked us through the existing courses and had us prepare some of them (under his guidance) and let us watch him prepare when we felt like just sitting behind and enjoying a cooking demonstration. The dishes were DELICIOUS and chef Pierre was an excellent instructor. In addition to being an excellent chef and instructor, he has several decades of experience working for some of the top Michelin-starred restaurants and cooking for some of the world's top celebrities. He often shares interested stories about his past which makes the whole experience even more entertaining. What a memorable evening! Thank you Chef Pierre!
Booked the class French Asian Fusion with Chef Pierre C.
I made a reservation with Chef Pierre to surprise my girlfriend on her birthday and the whole experience, from beginning to end was delightful and fun! He tried a different menu than his typical class which made the experience even more special. My girlfriend does not eat shellfish or pork and he was able to accommodate with a very original menu. All the ingredients he used were authentic and he was kind enough to share his personal spices from different parts of the world. The menu was Asian-French infusion. For an appetizer we had his signature egg roll type cones with tuna, avocado, and signature sauce. We prepared a delicious green salad with soft and sweet beets, and for the main entree, a bed of french saffron rice with perfectly crafted layers of seasoned tuna, wasabi, Asian pickled vegetables and crisp seaweed on top. As an added note, each dish was carefully crafted using the full spectrum of colors! At the same time all the cooking and eating was taking place, he taught us a simple, yet delicious recipe for apple pie, which we later ate for dessert. My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed this experience, as the close one-on-one teaching was extremely helpful. Chef Pierre has great attitude and talent when it comes to teaching and food! We absolutely recommend it.
Booked the class Gourmet Classics with Chef Pierre C.
What an awesome experience we had today! Took so many great tips home..daughter already made our own oil infusion. Food was absolutely amazing. So simple and beautiful. The Risotto was the BOMB! ? but chef's experience was what made everything come together so effortlessly. Thank you for being a teacher and chef. You made my daughter's birthday one to remember.
Booked the class Braised Salmon: A Three-Course Meal with Chef Pierre C. in Redondo Beach (North Redondo)
Pierre shared his home, knowledge, and experiences with us to celebrate our anniversary. He has a wealth of culinary knowledge that he brings down to any level of experience. From such a simple recipe, we walked away with several notable tips. Beyond the actual lesson, Pierre shared his phenomenal experiences he's gathered throughout the years. He's the type of person you just want to sit back and listen to. Truly a memorable night-- a dinner and a show!
Booked the class Heart and Sole for 2 with Chef Pierre C. in Redondo Beach (North Redondo)
Look, if you want to have the most fun and helpful experience in cooking this guy will make everything worth your while and then some. We made couscous and tarte tatin both things that make me think i'm pronouncing them terribly but man are they sooo good (i'd put way more "O"s but i have to keep this short for your sake). This one class made me realize how much i didn't know about cooking, like that there are such things as purple carrots or to even add such basic flavors as tomatoes to a salad (yes i know, it's a dumb thing to have a revelation about but that's just me). If you're going to do a date this is probably the best way to go about it. You get to meet a great chef with a just as great personality who makes it so welcoming to eat and cook and the money is so worth being filled with feel good food and learning along the way. Please try the sole of fish for your happiness and have a nice fun lazy Sunday along the way.
Booked the class German Classics: Schnitzel, Spatzle & Sauerkraut with Chef Cathy in El Segundo
I attended Chef Cathy's German cooking class and had a really good time. Being from Germany myself, I can say that I have high standards when it comes to German cuisine. Cathy has (from what I remember) over 30 years of experience as a Chef in German and Swiss cuisine and you notice it. The dishes were delicious and simple to make at home. Also, Cathy has a lot of knowledge of German/Swiss culture and her place is like a nice German/Swiss souvenir shop with a lot of items from that part of Europe. I can certainly recommend her for both social and team building cooking classes in Los Angeles.
Booked the class Gourmet Classics with Chef Pierre C.
Appreciated that he came early to set up. Delicious surprise salad that he made for us. Disappointments: we asked for rare steak and he made it medium/well done. No mushroom sauce for the steak either. He kept having us repeat the steps on how to make certain dishes & overall did not feel like the teaching portion was a welcoming environment as we felt he was arrogant.
Booked the class Classic Parisian Cooking Methods with Chef Cregg in Los Angeles (South Los Angeles)
We had an amazing time with chef Cregg! We learned so much and the food was incredible! Highly recommend!
Booked the class A Culinary Journey to Southern France with Chef Cregg in Los Angeles (Downtown Los Angeles)
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!
Booked the class Vegan French Cooking with Chef Cregg in Los Angeles (South Los Angeles)
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!

Booked the class Vegan French Cooking with Chef Cregg in Los Angeles (South Los Angeles)
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.

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!
Booked the class Gourmet Classics with Chef Pierre C. in Playa Del Rey
When we booked CozyMeal, we honestly did know what to expect, and boy oh boy we were absolutely blown away by the experience Chef Pierre brought to our home. First off, aside from being a world-renowned chef who has worked with some of the most acclaimed chefs (including Alain Ducasse - yep, you read that right) and served some of the most high-profile people, he is genuinely passionate about food and you can tell he loves what he does. He was kind, personable, and patient in the kitchen as we helped prepare each dish. This particular menu was extraordinary and every bite was delicious. We learned how to make risotto the right way, and the crepes were spectacular. I would highly recommend booking Chef Pierre for a class or any event. He is so knowledgeable and I have no doubt he could make anything taste delicious. We feel truly blessed to have had this experience with him and will treasure the memory as well as everything we learned. Thank you Chef Pierre!
