The classes were great! Everyone loved both classes. The service and food were too notch. The only thing I wish was that there was more competition, as it was billed as a competition team building experience. Otherwise, every single person (all 34 people at 2 separate events) absolutely loved it and are stilll raving about it from weeks ago.

We had an absolutely incredible experience learning to cook with Chef Roddy and his team. From the moment we arrived, the energy was warm, welcoming, and effortlessly professional. Chef Erick has a true gift—not just for cooking, but for teaching. He breaks things down in a way that’s engaging, approachable, and genuinely fun, whether you’re a beginner or someone who already loves being in the kitchen. The highlight of the experience was making paella—and not just any paella, but hands down the best we’ve ever had. Every step, from layering flavors to perfecting the texture of the rice, was thoughtfully guided. You can tell Chef Erick is passionate about his craft, and that passion carries through in every detail. His team was equally fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly in sync, which made the whole experience feel seamless and elevated. It never felt rushed, and there was a great balance of hands-on learning, storytelling, and enjoying the process. This wasn’t just a cooking class—it was a memorable culinary experience. We walked away not only with new skills, but with a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking (and a serious craving for paella). Highly, highly recommend Chef Roddy and his team—you won’t be disappointed.

Soooo much fun! We loved having the whole restaurant to ourselves to learn and eat after. Super fun, and way cooler than we expected being able to take pictures in our chefs hats and work with different chefs for our meal. We will definitely be back one day to try another menu!

Oscar, our chef and Oscar his sou chef were ready and waiting for us as we were the only couple to enjoy the vegetarian class. They spent time, energy and knowledge with us in an intimate, personable and patient manner and setting. It was great! We learned, tasted and sipped our way through our time and then enjoyed the meal they and we had prepared. We left with well packed extras and great memories.

Great evening with Chef Roddy and his team. The food was great. We had a good blend of helping to cook and also networking with our team. A wonderful night overall. I would highly suggest. We did the Paella cooking class and it was delicious and plenty of food for all 9 of us. Thank you Chef!'

Great experience with Chef Roddy and all of the chefs. It really helped to learn to cook in a professional kitchen, and everyone was so friendly and helpful. I'll be using Cozymeal again for cooking classes for sure.

We loved the chef and learned a few things but the class was supposed to go 3 hrs but ended at 1 1/2 hrs. We did not get to make the dessert or the Ceasar Dressing. A bit disappointed on that.

Experience was great. The resident/Chef Roddy were able to accommodate late adds to our party and were very hospitable. Restaurant was a little warm inside when we arrived but AC was turned up and the fan was out on. Overall great Mother’s Day experience.

We had a great time with Chef Rodney and his team. We had about 11 people in our group and the reviews of the class and the meal all came back fantastic from our team. The only thing I'd want to warn future participants of is that this experience is a bit of a blend between having a cooking class and a meal. The Chef's team ran us through a few recipes as a group like making a scratch Ceasar Dressing, bolognese, and garlic bread. Then we all divided into small groups and tried our hand at making pasta. We sampled our creations, but then a bit of cooking show magic happened, and Chef's team took over. They brought out premade portions for the rest of the meal and brought it together. So we got to have a very nice meal served. Had some fun in the kitchen. And had a great private experience. Great event, I'm a big fan.

Very enjoyable and relaxed experience with a very friendly and capable chef Albert. Was well prepared ingredients and easy to execute steps with clear guidance to prepare the four course meal! Great family bonding for the three of us.

Really great and fun experience!!!! Our chef was super friendly and explained everything, including some of their own suggestions on how to adjust the taste of the main course. Got to participate hands on with the cooking and prep and the end result was delicious!!!

I do not recommend this cooking class unless you are a very beginner cook. We had to ask to be taught vs the chef simply cooking and us watching. Not to mention everything but the pasta was pre made so salad making was just chopping lettuce (dressing was already made so nothing to learn there), garlic bread was just spreading already made butter on rolls and dessert also made already. We also had a resident chef who definitely seemed like a solid cook, but with poor teaching skills. Despite the description only fettuccine making is an option too, which is misleading. A huge disappointment of an experience and overall waste of time and money.

Ingredients very simple and not worth the price . We were also charged $75 plus tax for a $12 bottle of wine we were familiar with. We brought our own wine but they insisted we buy one from them. Now we know why. We felt taken advantage of. We Sent text and emailed Roddy about our experience and he never responded . First time experience will be our last with cozy meal.

Horrible experience that was essentially a scam. Chef Roddy was not present. We were barely given an opportunity to prepare any of the dishes and were essentially taught nothing. Starting with the sauce, the chef just made the sauce themselves. They did not give instructions, only listed ingredients or quantities when we asked. There was no instruction given on how to make the pasta besides combining flour plus egg and barely any oversight as they were focused on making the sauce behind us. There was no option to make gnocchi or ravioli as in the description. We were not taught to make the salad address from scratch as in the description as this was prepared in advance. Additionally, the panna cotta was also prepared in advance so there was no teaching there. At every opportunity, things were made in advance and done as quickly as possible by the chef without us and without any sort of instruction. We felt rushed despite being the only group of 3 and left an hour before our designated time. This seemed like this “cooking class” was doing below to bare minimum just to check off the boxes.

AVOID THIS CHEF. I recieved this class as a birthday present and the chef was initially responsive but then the day prior to our class stopped responding. Did not provide the location or follow-up any messages with where to meet for the class with specific address despite them being read as (seen). He took our course money and then refused to respond to customer service about the issue when I asked for a refund or new course date. Very disappointed by the poor customer service from both cozymeal and this chef. Would recommend picking someone else to avoid being scammed.

Nice guy, but it was put in a little of this and a little of that. No written handout for my granddaughter to take home. The main sauce for flavoring was already made. Knives VERY dull. Didn’t make flan, just served flan already made. Finished 1/2 hour early Saw an email asking us to come at 4 instead of 6 after I got home. Expensive cooking class for a quick in and out. I have taken classes in France, Italy, San Francisco, etc. Cassie will never be able to get the same results without a recipe to start Disappointing

I booked this class for Valentine’s Day. It was disappointing as the food we ate was made beforehand and we did not get to do any cooking. The experience was not as advertised and neither was the food.

Andy U. 02/15/2023

Experience was not at all as described. We weren’t able to really cook anything. Everything was already made and prepared before arrival. We did not get to pick which kind of pasta we could prepare. The food was good, but for the price we would’ve just gone to a fancy restaurant instead. We did not get the cooking class experience that we paid for. The Chef said that since there were too many people, it wasn’t going to be possible to cook and prepare everything as described on the website. Truly disappointed by the experience.
