First time doing a cooking class and as nervous as we were it was super comfortable working with Jordan. No matter your experience he had everyone involved at every step, and we learned a lot throughout the night. I can't cook rice to save my life but now I can make paella (no big deal). We will absolutely book another class not just with this site (bc the possibilities are endless) but would love to work with Jordan again.

Our hands-on pasta making session with Chef Jordan was both highly educational and incredibly enjoyable. I arranged the class as a birthday surprise for my partner (who is an inspiring chef), and the instruction was top-notch. Chef Jordan provided detailed guidance on every step of the process: from fundamental skills like properly cutting onions, to selecting the correct ingredients (flour, tomatoes), to advanced techniques for kneading dough and sautéing. It was a delicious and rewarding experience. This class is an excellent choice for a memorable date night or anyone looking to truly elevate their cooking skills.

Chef Li’s Chinese soup dumpling class was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She welcomed us into her beautiful home with such warmth and made the experience both fun and approachable. She was an excellent teacher, guiding us step by step through making soup dumplings, cucumber salad, and hot and sour soup. Each dish was absolutely delicious, and we left the class excited to try making them ourselves at home. Highly recommend…we will definitely be taking more classes with Chef Li in the future!

I HIGHLY recommend Chef Benoit’s classes. I have taken both the fish and beef dinner classes. Both of the meals were beautifully curated and delicious. The recipes were easy to understand and follow, yet the results were elegant and very flavorful. Chef Benoit works with your specific skill level to teach you the techniques needed to prepare these dishes. I have since re-created both menus for guests and they were both hits! I learned new skills in the kitchen like chopping techniques, flavor pairings, and I even filleted my first fish! His home is beautiful and clean and both him and his wife are very warm and welcoming. Thank you, Chef Benoit, for sharing your knowledge and wonderful energy with us!

Chef Justin was absolutely amazing. I booked this experience as a birthday gift for my husband, and it exceeded my hopes and expectations by far! The sushi was delicious, Justin’s teaching and demonstrating was smooth and easy to understand, and Chef Justin himself was a wonderful mix of professional, sociable, and friendly. He was very kind and understanding with our baby fussing throughout parts of the class as well. We highly recommend this class!!

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Made Master. The five of us love to cook and we were very interested in learned new recipes. It was a hands-on inspirational opportunity in the cozy kitchen. The flavors, spices, and wonderful aroma from the dishes were amazing. Chef Made was excellent in explaining the ingredients & techniques and the finished dishes were delicious. Not only did we learn a lot and have a lovely meal, but Chef Made was very enjoyable to cook with. Everyone raved about how cool this class was and we highly recommend this experience with Chef Made.

Justin was simply incredible! I invited him over as a surprise for my sushi-loving boyfriend. My partner learned a lot from Justin, both from his skills and his life - we loved getting to know him. I also got to partake in some of the sushi-ing, but watching Justin's craftsmanship was more exciting for me :)

I seriously cannot recommend Chef Justin enough. He is a true professional, but made the experience so fun and comforting at the same time. The dishes he made/taught us to make were by far the best and most fresh sushi I’ve ever tasted! I would book this experience 10x over again and recommend him to anyone looking for a fun date night or day with friends!

We had an amazing meal and experience with Chef Justin. Chef Justin was very communicative prior to the experience. Chef Justin arrive 15 minutes prior to start time in order to get set up. We helped prepare and ate seafood salad, a few rolls (proteins: salmon, shrimp, crab, beef) and mochi ice cream (green tea, strawberry and vanilla). We learned so much and the meal was beyond delicious. Overall it was the best time and the food was so great we would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Chef Justin!

One of the most fun things I’ve ever done! My BF and I have been ravin about it for days. Justin was super helpful, hilarious, and made the whole experience even better. The food was delicious, and he went above and beyond—chatting with us about anything, taking tons of pictures (so sweet!), and letting us get creative with handrolls + other rolls after making the main menu items. We were in a bit of a rush at the end, and somehow, he cleaned everything up in like 10 minutes. Highly recommend. We were also STUFFED and had leftovers.

He thoughtfully accommodated my allergies, ensuring the menu was both gluten-free and dairy-free. Everything was well-organized and timely, and most importantly, the sushi we created was absolutely delicious! I can't recommend Chef Justin enough for anyone looking to try their hand at sushi making skills!

My recent Cozymeal experience with Chef Benoit was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped into his warm and inviting home, I knew I was in for a memorable culinary adventure. Chef Benoit’s expertise shone through as we embarked on the delightful task of creating an exquisite meal. We began with a delicate and flavorful tuna tartare that set the tone for the evening. Following this, we prepared tournedos of beef filet accompanied by a rich and savory oyster mushroom fricassée. The potatoes au gratin were perfectly creamy, while the green asparagus added a vibrant touch to the palette of dishes. To complete the meal, we baked pommes au four, which were a delightful and sweet conclusion to our feast. Chef Benoit's culinary mastery was evident not only in the delicious dishes but also in the invaluable food prep and cooking tips he shared. I left the event feeling fully capable of replicating the meal on my own, a testament to his teaching skills. His friendly and approachable demeanor made the cooking class enjoyable, while his deep knowledge of culinary arts provided a rich learning experience. Additionally, Chef Benoit’s ability to accommodate last-minute dietary restrictions was commendable, demonstrating his flexibility and consideration for his guests. This aspect, combined with the overall quality of the experience, positions it as an excellent option for team-building events. Receiving this experience as a gift was truly special. The meal not only turned out fantastic, but it was also delicious, showcasing the high standard of Chef Benoit's culinary talent. I highly recommend this Cozymeal experience to anyone looking to enhance their cooking skills or simply enjoy a wonderful meal in the company of a talented chef.

This was my 2nd time with Chef Gustavo. He always puts on a unique experience that is unforgettable. I love that we learn so much about the history and culture of the dishes we're making, and his dishes are approachable and ones I will make at home. His kind, welcoming personality makes it so great.

Chef Made was awesome and very friendly - we had a great time cooking with him for an authentic and healthy Thai meal. It is not easy to find truly authentic Thai dishes in DMV area after living in Bangkok for over half decade. Chef Made brought the authentic taste of Bangkok - the dishes were truly delicious and the lesson was easy to follow. We appreciate Cozymeal providing this flexible platform that connects chefs with ordinary "home chefs" like us - definitely will do it again and thank you and Khaawp-khun Ka, Chef Made!

Our dumpling cooking class with Chef Li was wonderful! We both cannot wait to try the recipes again at home and ensure we can do it solo! She was so welcoming and educational the entire process. Her step by step guidance on all the ingredients and cooking/assembly made the evening well worth it! We made so many dumplings from scratch, with plenty to practice with, as well as the cucumber salad and hot & sour soup. We will be back to try her other classes at some time in the future for sure.

We cooked several sichuan dishes all of which were good and flavorful. The green beans, chicken, and tofu dishes were easy to follow and we had great direction by chef Li. Overall would definitely take another class and would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a fun time.

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Chef Shelley is not only a gifted chef but also a warm, engaging teacher. We did the class with my girlfriend, my son, and my 13-year-old daughter, and she made every step of the process fun, informative, and hands-on. She guided us through the prep, ingredients, and cooking techniques — but what really set this apart was how she explained the why behind each step. We learned what the “holy trinity” is in Cajun cooking, why a pinch of sugar enhances tomato-based dishes, and why a splash of lemon juice is key when working with apples. Together, we cooked a delicious Cajun meal: classic salmon over maque choux (a Creole succotash), and excellent chicken étouffée, and a perfectly spiced Southern-style apple crisp. Throughout, Chef Shelley shared amazing stories from her time cooking in New Orleans and New York City — plus insider commentary on restaurants (the best and ones to avoid), chefs, and food trends. It genuinely felt like she knows (and has cooked with) everyone in the food world — including being friends with members of The English Beat! Between dishes, she also treated us to samples of artisan hot sauces, barbecue sauces, spices, and even a caramel apple — all from brands she consults with or has helped develop. Her passion for the culinary arts and the specialty food world is infectious. Chef Shelley is a delightful host, a brilliant storyteller, and a deeply knowledgeable chef. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough — truly one of the best experiences we’ve had.

Tiffany was FANTASTIC. She was so friendly and engaging! She was super organized and was comfortable in our kitchen. We learned a TON amd she must have answered 100 questions with a smile. The food was soooo good. Most importantly, we are confident that we can cook this menu again! Highly recommend!!

We had such a wonderful time cooking with Chef Gustavo! He’s an excellent teacher, and his knowledge really shines through. After the class, he even gave us tips on where to find ingredients so we could recreate the dishes at home. The whole experience was fun and informative, and the food was absolutely delicious! We took "The Flavors of Chile" class, and everything we made tasted incredible. I’ll definitely take another class with him and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and flavorful experience!
