Chef Kira was raised by a family of cooks, farmers and nurturers. Memories of making hand pies in her grandmother's kitchen and farming in the yard with her grandfather have inspired her career in food. By cooking in kitchens across Europe and Morocco, she submerged herself in the art of food and learned the true value of flavor. Under her tutelage, you will learn to create meals that taste just as amazing as they are good for you!

We had a great time with Chef Kira. The food was delicious. I don't know if I liked the Bruschetta, the Deep-Dish Pizza or the cannoli's the best. Everything was fresh. Chef Kira taught us some prepping skills as well. She was open to questions. She is very personable. There was another couple, that we meet at the cooking event. It was a fun night. I would highly recommend Chef Kira. She has several classes. I want to look into more classes with her.

Kira is a great chef that is passionate about cooking ! My husband and I went to her class to do something fun and learn more about cooking . It was a great experience and the food was excellent. I would recommend stools at the prepping station so people can sit when waiting , because my back was hurting by the end of the night .

Simply put, Chef Kira was amaaazing!! It was my fiancés birthday and she wanted an memorable experience. We ended a great weekend of celebrating with Chef Kira at her house for Cuban night. From the moment we walked in, it felt like family. We had a group cooking class and ended up meeting the best people and became family by the end of the night. We’re even looking at doing another cooking experience together with Kira. My fiancé was surprised and Chef even created a beautiful birthday moment for her. A great hands on experience! Chef Kira was extremely personable, knowledge and such a good time! I could go on and on, but if you’re looking for amazing food, great stories and a unique hands on experience with a phenomenal person, just sign up. Sn: her home is absolutely beautiful! The ambiance, food, home and energy was absolutely beautiful. Thanks again, Kira! Unmatched - *chef’s kiss*

This was my first bespoke, personalized class and I’d book many more with Chef Kira. She was responsive to my inquiries before class, on schedule, high energy, personable, knowledgeable, and shared cooking tips and techniques in a practical way. I cannot wait to duplicate these vegan dishes at home. I have more confidence in my knife skills, spice selection, and overall cooking after this 2.5 hour class!

We recently had the opportunity to participate in a cooking class that was truly exceptional. From start to finish, it was a delightful and educational experience that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in honing their culinary skills.
Chef Kira was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. Chef Kira’s expertise was evident as they effortlessly guided us through each step of the cooking process, sharing useful tips and tricks along the way.
What truly set this class apart was that she really made us feel like you were at home having a good time with friends. While it was a cooking class, nothing felt scripted which we truly enjoyed.
Overall, it was a well-rounded and enriching experience and the food was delicious. Whether you are a home cook or an experienced chef, I believe this class has something to offer everyone. We will definitely be seeing Chef Kira again.

An experience of a lifetime with an amazing meal and talented chef. It was sublime and she was the perfect accompaniment to our evening. We enjoyed the conversation and moments of privacy. She balanced the evening with grace as we encroached upon her meal prep with conversation and curiosity. Her experience comes to life through the salacious offerings from appetizer to dessert. She was the ultimate professional and the cuisine as delicious as one of our favorite restaurants. We’re already planning our next experience.

Chef Kira was great! She and her assistant were very friendly and cleaned up completely after themselves. She even showed up some food prepping tips! While the food was beautiful and very tasty (the first courses which was a salad, was really fantastic), I do wish we could have had the option to choose the menu or edit the brunch offerings. The food was on the heavier side and a great deal of it went uneaten.

Chef Kira was a delight. Let's start with the food. It was exceptional, and she took great care in quickly learning our skill level and providing instruction. It was a lot of food - we had leftovers that I can't wait to eat today.
Besides that, Chef Kira has an amazing spirit. She was easy to talk to and created a very intimate setting. She had homemade lemonade and sparkling water available to drink as well as a cheese and fruit plate waiting for us while we cooked. I would definitely recommend cooking with Chef Kira. You won't be disappointed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Chef Kira. She came fully prepared and had no trouble adjusting to our kitchen. She was fun, personable and kept the atmosphere light and entertaining. She gave us some great tips and really let us do the work with some direction but it felt very natural and smooth. The menu was scrumptious . Highly recommend and hope to do it again sometime!

I cannot brag enough about Chef Kira. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She accommodated our dietary needs during the booking process, was timely and professional, explained all of the steps during the cooking process, created an amazing experience in my tiny NYC kitchenette, provided five star service by plating, serving and even cleaning up, has a wonderful and kind personality and helped us make a delicious meal! Exceeded my expectations and I look forward to booking another class!

We did a Cozymeal class with Chef Kira and it far exceeded our already high expectations. We learned a ton and made a delicious Italian meal. Kira took care of everything (brought all ingredients and cooking utensils and cleaned up during cooking and afterwards) so that we could just enjoy the experience. Kira is also fun and interesting to talk with and learn from, and we loved hanging out with her. Thank you, Chef Kira, for such a memorable experience!

We had the utmost experience with Chef Kira on a lovely Tuesday evening. We’re the kind of people who think we know it all when it comes to cooking, but we truly gained some valuable tips and tricks on how to cook more efficiently and use leftover ingredients in a way we’ve never thought of. Chef Kira is such a wonderful and positive woman, and we had so much fun cooking with her. Highly recommended!!

We were a group of 7 women and all can't stop raving about how we had such an amazing experience with Chef Kira. She was engaging, witty and knowledgeable. Throughout the class she shared so many techniques. My Favorite part was eating what we prepared. Chef Kira assisted us with our dietary needs and altered our menu accordingly. Highly recommend Chef Kira and I would bring her back for another cuisine.

Chef Kira was truly amazing! She was very attentive and encouraging throughout the entire night. She shared a lot of really useful cooking tips that I’ll carry with me for years. From the initial introduction and setup to the very last course and detail, everything was very carefully thought out and beautifully presented. I felt extremely comfortable asking questions and the general environment was very cozy, and relieved the stress that a lot of people might have when cooking something outside of their comfort zone. I can’t emphasize enough how perfect she made the experience! I hope to cook more with her in the future.
Jillian

Chef Kira came fully prepared and did a wonderful job of setting up and cleaning up our kitchen after our experience. She was knowledgeable, showed us some great tips throughout the class, and was fun to interact with during the evening. We had some great conversations alongside some excellent food! Chef is well traveled and brings those influences into her food. We loved all of the food and were even left with some extras/leftovers to enjoy later this weekend. It was a pleasure having her in our own and we will certainly use her again to try out one of her other offerings!

Does the thought of vegan food make your face wince? Think again. Chef Kira makes some of the most delicious food out there that anyone will love! As friendly as she is talented--her lovely home and large kitchen are a welcome area for anyone to learn cooking as well as enjoying the fruits of their labor. Her deep dish pizza tastes like it was delivered from a local Chicago pizzeria. Her vegan banana pudding is not to be missed. She'll let you in on how to make an authentic crawfish boil straight from the Bayou. Her fried chicken tofu with smoked collard greens is not only deliciously vegan-friendly, but a familiar old standard with a healthier twist.
