We had an AMAZING experience with Chef Jordan! Our family of four met at his home and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Our menu conisisted of Lettuce Wrapped Portobello Quinoa Sliders topped with chipotle aioli and avocado, Blackened Pineapple Cajun Chicken and Peach Mango Cherry Cobbler. Cooking together as a family was such a fun and memorable experience, and every dish we made was both delicious and healthy.
My husband and son were a bit hesitant about some of the vegetarian quinoa slider dishes at first, but the quinoa burgers completely won them over—they’re still talking about how good they were! Chef Jordan is an incredible teacher: warm, patient, engaging, and so knowledgeable. He made everything easy to follow and genuinely fun.
Cooking in his home felt very special, and Chef Jordan went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. We would highly recommend him to anyone booking a cooking class through Cozymeal. Five stars all the way!

We booked Chef Jordan for New Year’s Eve during our family trip to San Diego, and he was phenomenal. He was responsive, flexible, and just a pleasure overall. With two toddlers and early bedtimes, this was the perfect way to celebrate. We got a true five-star dining experience right at our Airbnb while the kids slept and the adults enjoyed. The food was absolutely delicious (and the leftovers were just as good the next day!). 12/10 — highly recommend him.

Chef Jordan cooked our Thanksgiving dinner for 12 people, and we truly couldn’t be happier. Every dish was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully executed. Beyond the food, Chef Jordan was incredibly kind, professional, and a joy to have in our home. He made the entire experience feel effortless and special. We will definitely be hiring Chef Jordan again for future events, what a rockstar!

I attended this class with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and have nothing but positive remarks. He adjusted the recipes to our restrictions/preferences (I'm gluten-free and vegetarian). He communicated about each step, gave us tips on knife skills (etc.), and connected with us. We also really enjoyed sitting down and sharing a meal with Chef Jordan and his partner. Thanks for a great class and for welcoming us. If you're debating whether or not this class will be worth it, debate no longer. Also, the food was impeccable.

We had such a lovely experience with Chef Jordon on Thanksgiving for his Indian cooking class. We learned great techniques and information on all the ingredients! Plus, every dish was so flavorful and delicious! And his home overlooking the lake is serene. He went above and beyond to make our holiday memorable. We had so much fun this is going to be our new Thanksgiving tradition!

Our experience with Chef Jordan was a perfect blend of a fine culinary session and back yard bbq. We kicked things off with a special cacao opener. We learned useful prep techniques, enjoyed 3 courses of organic and responsibly sourced food, garden fresh herbs, and specially made sauces. We enjoyed steak frites with a lakeside sunset view and finished with a wonderous dessert with surprising ingredients. It was an evening full of music, clean upper scale food, useful information, great conversation, and generous left overs. Truly elevating!

This was truly an amazing experience. My partner and I were lucky enough to have Jordan all to ourselves for our cooking class. We used all fresh ingredients and he showed us how easy it was to make a healthy flavorful meal. His welcoming attitude made us feel like we were right at home making our fresh pasta. The class experience was educational but most of all so much fun. We really enjoyed our time and look forward to learning other cuisines from Jordan

Chef Jordan and his partner Mary we’re so welcoming into their home for our last minute booking on Christmas Eve!! Chef Jordan was amazing and explained everything very well.

Our experience with Chef Jordan was amazing! From the food to the ambiance he has created an environment where you instantly feel at home and become inspired to get back in the kitchen. The food (grilling class) was so delicious and a great way to bond with family and friends as you prepare the courses together. We booked the class as a Christmas gift to each other and will definitely do it again in the future! You won’t be disappointed :)

Jordan put together an incredible experience! In addition to cooking a meal I would be hard-pressed to find in the best restaurants in San Diego, he showcased his knowledge of the ingredients and friendly personality to make it a fantastic night. I would definitely work with him again!

We had such a great time! Chef Jordan was amazing. He was so patient and engaged everyone. He answered all our questions and was very skilled at herding the cats and keeping us on track, all while teaching us how to make delicious food.

Me and my girlfriend celebrated our anniversary with Chef Jordan! It was a super fun experience! His home was clean and cozy, and he really made us feel more comfortable in the kitchen! We had basically no experience with cooking and we really got the opportunity to learn more! He was professional and kind, and the food was healthy, fresh and amazing! We even got to take the extra food home and it kept us fed for almost a week! Chef Jordan was also more than helpful when it came to directions and helping me find a place to stay in the area. I would highly recommend him and this course! He himself was plant-based as well, so it was really nice to connect with a plant-based chef!

My husband and I received the pasta making class with Jason as a gift for our wedding anniversary. It was such an amazing experience! We not only learned how to make pasta, but he taught us many other useful “kitchen tricks.” Jason was very accommodating of food restrictions and dietary needs. It was a perfect weekend away from San Diego in scenic Julian. A must do! Fun date night! Thanks Jason! We highly recommend him. Book it!

My husband and I went to Chef Jordan's house last night and we had such a great time! His place is right near Lake Cuyamaca and it was beautiful. We live in San Diego but made a day trip to Julian for this. Chef Jordan was very thorough in explaining how to make each dish, and everything we made was absolutely delicious!! We will definitely be booking him again. Thank you!

My husband gifted me the Thai Cuisine Fundamentals class for our anniversary and we had such a great time! Before our class, Chef Jordan reached out about any food allergies and was kind enough to cater to my wheat and dairy restriction. Upon arriving at his beautiful home, Chef Jordan greeted us with a friendly smile and took us over to his kitchen where he had all of the ingredients displayed. He asked us what type of music we liked and I love listening to "French Cafe" songs while I cook so he turned it on for a relaxing mood.
We made three dishes: Tom Kha Gai Soup, Thai Coconut Yellow Chicken Curry and Fresh Spring Rolls with a yummy Thai Peanut Sauce! Using fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch was so fun to make and eating it was so much better. You could really taste how fresh the ingredients were. Everything was loaded with flavor and pretty healthy, too!
Chef Jordan did a great job teaching us knife skills and walking us through each recipe. One of the best things about the class was that we were able to eat A LOT! We made so much food that we were able to get second (even 3rd) helpings as well as pack some for the road. We brought a yummy Sauvignon Blanc with citrus notes that he recommended would pair well with the meal and it tasted great! He also took us on a mini tour of his garden to pick out fresh herbs for our spring rolls.
Chef Jordan was very organized, friendly and professional and made good conversation throughout. Since it was just me and my husband, it was a very nice and intimate experience. He gave us the recipes to take home along with some grapefruit and passion fruit from his yard! We really enjoyed our time learning how to make this yummy 3-course meal. The next time we decide to do this again, I’d love to invite a bigger group with us to enjoy this fun experience! Thanks again Chef Jordan!

We had a great evening with Jordan. The Japanese food was delicious and Jordan did a fanstic job of involving us in the preparation. The lesson was a Christmas gift to my girlfriend and it was a huge hit. Especially appreciated Jordan taking the time to teach us knife techniques and the motivation behind his ingredients. Couldn’t recommend him more strongly for your next birthday gift or dinner party.

I booked a CozyMeal experience with my boyfriend during our vacation to San Diego, and let me just say—we’ll definitely be booking with Chef Jordan again! As someone visiting from the East Coast, I was blown away by the quality and thoughtfulness he brought to the table (literally). Every ingredient was organic and gluten-free—something that’s tough to find back home—and the entire meal felt both nourishing and indulgent.
Jordan's knowledge, passion, and warmth made the experience unforgettable. He brought great energy into the kitchen, and even traveled an hour to meet us at our Airbnb! He came fully prepared with specialty tools we didn’t have on hand, and together we cooked an incredible meal—with enough leftovers to enjoy for the next couple of days.
If you're considering a CozyMeal in the San Diego area, don't hesitate—Chef Jordan is a amazing.

5 star experience. I went with a friend. Jordan invited us into his home where he taught us knife skills and then put us to work chopping and dicing ingredients for our meal. I was delighted to learn how to use different types of mushrooms. The meal turned out scrumptious and was followed by a ceremonial cacao drink with a wonderfully tasty dessert. All gluten and dairy free. Chef Jordan is a great teacher and very personable. We both enjoyed our experience and time spent cooking together.

Chef Jordan completely exceeded our expectations for this class. My girlfriend and I have taken a few cooking classes before but never with a chef so passionate about their food. We took the plant based class and as a non vegan I was blown away by how much depth of flavor every dish had. Chef Jordan was involved but let us do a lot of the work, the balance was perfect. The location was gorgeous I mean a lunch overlooking a beautiful lake? It felt like we were on a vacation. The class is something she and I will always look back on as a wonderful shared experience. If you’re considering taking a class from chef Jordan, don’t wait any longer you won’t be disappointed.

Delicious menu, beautiful location, and superb cheffing.

This cooking class (or any class with Chef Jordan) is a MUST! We made beautiful homemade pasta with chicken and marinara. Chef Jordan shared so many fun tips and tricks to make cooking easier and more enjoyable. Chef also has an undeniable aura of kindness that will leave a smile on your face for sure. Chef Jordan went above and beyond to make everyone is the class feel welcome and comfortable. The location is remote but worth the drive! The area is so beautiful, and the venue is cozy and inviting.

I gifted this cooking class to my partner for Christmas and we both had such a lovely time! Jordan's home is very clean and comfortable with a great balcony and view of the nearby lake. He was very professional and made it a fun and interactive cooking experience. We did the 'Cooking with Mushrooms' course and made soup, lasagna, and the most amazing ceremonial cacao. He had already prepared the cheesecake and sent us home with so many leftovers. We are already talking about making these recipes for our friends and family.
Would recommend making a day trip out of it - we hiked Stonewall Peak and made a quick trip to Julian to visit the famous Julian Pie Company before the cooking class. Highly recommend this experience - Jordan was the perfect host and teacher.

What a great afternoon with Chef Jordan! He went above and beyond. We learned so much and enjoyed the absolute best Thai food!!! The atmosphere was so very pleasant. We ate our first course on his beautiful mountain deck and then came inside for the rest of the meal. He sent us home with a ton of leftovers. I can’t say enough good things! Also for anyone worried about the drive to Julian, it was well worth it and only added to the experience!

We really enjoyed our time with Jordan. He was very impressive and was very considerate throughout the whole course. We left with a large amount of left overs and he also gifted me with a box of umami mushrooms that inspired me to make chicken with mushroom sauce on top of noodles mirroring the methods he taught in his class.

Incredible experience! Chef Jordan was very friendly and made us feel right at home while we learned to make authentic Italian pasta. Chef Jordan is very knowledgeable and has a great passion for his craft. We learned so much from Chef while having a fun and engaging experience. I cannot recommend Chef Jordan enough! We had an amazing experience full of delicious food, and will certainly be looking at the other classes he offers!

Great class with tasty food! Chef Jordan is very knowledgable and friendly. The class is in his home, which was welcoming and inviting. Just a word of advice: Definitely take the larger of your vehicles as he is up in the mountains (beautiful area). But all in all, would recommend!

My girlfriend Molly and I took an Indian cooking class with Chef Jordan and we loved it! We weren’t sure how it would be going into someone else’s home for the class but Jordan made it super comfortable and had great energy. We learned so much about spices, prepping methods, and ways to cook it was super interesting and fun. The food was unbelievably good. Thank you Jordan for welcoming us into your home and teaching/feeding us! 10/10 would recommend!

My wife and I had a fantastic time with Jordan - he taught us a few Indian dishes (all delicious) and we had leftovers afterwards... we had leftover tandoori sauce and are making tandoori chicken with it tonight. Would definitely recommend Jordan to anyone considering his class

Our family had such a great evening with Chef Jordan. He totally opened our eyes to a more healthful approach to cooking. Although we were all fairly proficient in the kitchen, he taught us better food prep and cooking techniques and introduced us to new ingredients that we are excited to add to our regular repertoire. Thanks, Jordan!

Jordan was a fantastic chef and host! The cozy environment, vegan cuisine, and interactive experience was a great birthday surprise for my girlfriend. Highly recommend for those even mildly interested in cooking, plant-based foods, and learning new things— all three courses were easy enough to make at home and extremely delicious. He even packed us all the leftovers!

We had a fabulous time with Chef Jordan. We had a hiccup on our end with logistics and he was more than accommodating. He is not just an amazing chef, he is truly an outstanding person. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about all aspects of food and preparation, especially sustainable cooking, which is exactly what we were looking for. We learned an abundance of information that we will be taking home and incorporating into our family meals. The environment was warm and welcoming and made the afternoon that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend for anyone!

Jordan was a lovely addition to our weekend - we hired him for a fancy bachelorette dinner and he certainly delivered! The menu was Hawaiian and he surprised us with delicious, healthy, flavorful options. He cleaned everything up so well it's almost like he was never there. And, we got leftovers! Really loved Jordan and hope to hire him again!

Such a fun experience! I bought the Thai Cuisine Fundamentals class with Chef Jordan as a birthday gift for a good friend. We had an wonderful time cooking with Chef Jordan, who was super easy going and a great teacher. We learned some great cooking techniques and best of all the food was AMAZING! He walked us through what seemed like very complicated recipes and made them very approachable – we’ll definitely be making them on our own. I would definitely recommend taking this awesome class.

My girlfriend and I took Chef Jordan’s healthy vegan taco class at his beautiful home in Julian and it was an amazing time. Chef Jordan is very knowledgeable, engaging, and just downright pleasant to be around. I walked away with new tricks to build upon in my relatively new venture in plant based cooking. I would highly recommend Chef Jordan to anyone looking to cook a plant based diet or to anyone just looking to hone their skills in the kitchen!

The Plant-Based Farm to Fork Meal was AMAZING! Thank you Jordan! We enjoyed learning how "made from scratch" recipes like Bean Burgers, Pasta and Ice Cream that are actually healthy! We already made our own cashew milk coffee creamer. We feel like we graduated to another level of embracing our plant-based lifestyle. No more frozen vegan junk food for us! Jordan is highly skilled and fun to cook with. We learned more about knife skills, kitchen tools, and cooking oils. Thanks for a special day!

Chef Jordan was incredible! It was my husband’s 40th birthday and I wanted to have a special dinner at our house to celebrate. Chef Jordan was accommodating to our time frame and arrived ready to go.

We’re definitely looking forward to having him over again!

My husband and I want to give a shout out to Chef Jordan W. . We had such a fantastic time with my sister-in-law and brother for Karla’s birthday. We learned how to prepare and cook the menu from the Thai Cuisine Fundamentals.
We not only prepared a fabulous meal....we learned various knife skills, learned about various new vegetables, oils and even how to prepare perfect brown rice in the oven. Our evening was filled with laughter, so much joy and passion for cooking. I loved that all I needed to to get ready was to set the table and arrange some flowers for the table. Chef Jordon was terrific, knowledable and loves his profession. He does all the shopping... tells you where he gets his ingredients so you can prepare the meal again.
I was so proud to have given this as a birthday gift. It was a huge success. Thank you again Chef Jordon and Cozy-meal.
You left us 100% satisfied!

We had SO much fun with Jordan for the Plant Based Farm to Fork class! The ingredients were so fresh, the recipes turned out incredible and Jordan is an absolute delight to spend time with! We also were SO appreciative that he offers vegan/plant-based cooking classes, as these are hard to find despite the fact that plant-based cuisine is growing so much in popularity for so many reasons. Such an awesome experience and we feel so lucky to have had it. Highly recommend!!

My family’s experience with Jordan was nothing short of excellent. We had hired him for the Thai Fundamentals cooking class at our house as a 60th birthday celebration. He was on time, prepared with all ingredients, recipes etc.. The class was fun and he walked us through every step of the three dishes. The food was excellent, the soup especially was a hit among the family. Further, Jordan was fun to talk to and helpful in giving general cooking tips and advice. 10/10 experience overall. I would recommend Jordan to any friends or familt who are interested in learning more about cooking.

Chef Jordan was great. He came to our house for our employee team bonding evening. One of the best parts of the evening for me was the beautiful set-up with all the fresh vegetables lined up on my counter and how organized he was. Another part that was awesome was that the entire mess was completely cleaned up. And on top of that the food was delicious. We would do it again.

What a great time! We made SO much delicious, healthy, organic, colorful, Thai food! Chef Jordan was so friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and fun! Also he will customize the food to your preferences which I thought was so nice since I tend to be pretty picky. I despise cilantro and it was supposed to go in everything we made or at least on top as a garnish but he let us skip that step. Thank you so much! Haha. I know that not all chefs will let you change their recipe so I was thankful he was nice about it. He let us pick some fresh mint, tomatoes, peppers and passion fruit from his garden before we went home! So awesome. Thanks for teaching us cooking novices countless things about cooking yesterday!

This Thai cooking class was to celebrate my wife's birthday. Chef Jordan was incredibly welcoming and friendly. His flavors were spot on, and he had just the right amount of hands-on involvement and culinary tips for varying skill levels--my wife (advanced) and me (basic). I would strongly recommend this experience to others, and the setting for the class has a beautiful view with lots of ingredients (herbs/vegetables/fruits) produced on site.

Large group of 15 people crowded into the Community Center in La Jolla. I was very impressed with the whole experience. Set up and flow of the evening was perfect.

Chef Jordan was spot on with his directions and teaching regarding knife skills, food prep and plating.
Great Job Chef Jordan and support staff. We have a blast.

Perfect experience for couples, birthdays, or team builds. If I could give more stars, I would! :)

The cook was great. I was not impressed with the location. They had nothing to open wine with, I thought they would be more prepared, like having the wine glasses, the water glasses all set up. Nothing was set. I had to do all of it. No aprons to cook. Everyone was getting dirty. I would never go back to this location. The bathrooms were very dirty. I will probably never use this again. I have 2 buildings, and I thought I had the perfect thing. I was not impressed at all with the amount of money they charged.

Despite the glowing reviews, our night with Chef Jordan was a little disappointing. We weren’t offered any crudités with hummus as shown in the menu, and we’d have been a lot happier if we’d been able to help more with the cooking. He showed us how to chop the vegetables and then left us to do it rather than correct our errors, and we helped with the pasta machine, but we weren’t involved at all in the desert, which wasn’t even the same desert that was advertised. We weren’t even offered aprons, which seems basic, though from the little cooking we did, they weren’t really necessary.
Chef Jordan was pleasant but lacked enthusiasm. My sister remarked that it felt like we’d been invited to someone’s house for an okay dinner, but that it was obvious that the host didn’t really want us to be there. That is exactly how it felt! It’s a shame, and the food we did have was nice. It was just far, far too much money for a subpar experience.

I am not one to write reviews, especially bad ones, but I thought that it needed objective feedback. We thought of it as an opportunity to get away from the city and tried to justify the price for the experience. Don't get me wrong - definitely a nice guy and good food. But was it worth $300 for the two of us? No. He showed us how to chop and explained what he was doing as he was cooking, but nothing about the experience was "farm-to-table." We thought it was probably the season - we went when it was coldish. But if that was the case, the posting should have made that very clear. I would say I had reasonable expectations given the price and others' reviews, but I came out of the experience disappointed. It also said it would last about 3 hours, but we were done in 1.5 hours. We are thinking maybe we are just a one-off...? Anyway, if anybody asked me, I would say spend your money elsewhere. It wasn't worth it for us - the time and the price.
