Booked the class The Best of Italian Favorites with Chef Kenneth
Chef Kenneth was amazing! I booked this class to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a blast. We loved everything on the menu - particularly the gnocchi. He also left us with leftovers which were greatly appreciated. Cannot recommend Chef Kenneth enough :)

Booked the class A Taste of Classic Japan with Chef Kenneth in Manhattan (Lower East Side)
We had such a fun experience with Chef Kenny through Cozy Meals! He taught us knife skills, how to roll sushi, and how to plan a dinner menu and cooking order. It was super interactive and we actually feel confident recreating the recipes at home. Highly recommend!

Booked the class Upscale Flavors of China with Chef Kenneth in Brooklyn (Cobble Hill)
We cooked steam fish and lots of other delicious food! My favorite part was chef Kenny taught us a lot tips and tricks on how to the knife better and more efficiently. He definitely improved our knife skills. It was a anniversary present and we had a great time!

NEED HELP PLANNING A TEAM EVENT?

Bringing a professional team together in NYC is an exciting opportunity to build relationships and form workplace connections through a shared activity. Since 2014, Cozymeal has brought hundreds of thousands of guests together through culinary team building experiences. According to the World Happiness Report, which analyzed Gallup data from 142 countries and territories, people who share more meals with others report higher life satisfaction, more positive emotions and fewer negative emotions. These findings describe an association rather than a guaranteed outcome from a single team event.
Culinary team building activities offer a refreshing, active alternative to traditional corporate outings. Your group cooks, tastes and learns together while sharing tasks and working through challenges. Preparing and enjoying food gives colleagues a shared focus and time to talk outside their usual work routines.
On Cozymeal, teams can find culinary team building activities in NYC, including hands-on group cooking classes, cooking competitions, food tours and live online events. Cooking experiences cover a wide range of cuisines and specialties, including pasta making, sushi making, Italian, French and many others. Teams can compare available venues with convenient starting points in neighborhoods such as SoHo, Chinatown or Greenwich Village, explore mobile options for an office event or join remotely from different boroughs.
Cozymeal takes care of planning and logistics for team building events in NYC, including arranging the chef or host and a venue if needed. For in-person cooking events, ingredients and equipment are included, and the chef handles setup, instruction and cleanup. Your team can focus on preparing the meal together and enjoying the experience.
Here is how a typical event unfolds:
Once you select your culinary experience, the booking process confirms the date, guest count, venue type and customization needs. You can share allergies and dietary restrictions during the booking process in the message field to the chef, so they can confirm suitable adjustments. For online experiences offering kit delivery, confirm shipping eligibility and participants’ addresses in advance. NYC organizers can then share arrival instructions, building access codes or nearby subway details.
When your team arrives, the chef or host welcomes the group and provides a brief orientation. In a traditional cooking team building event, coworkers chop fresh ingredients, roll out dough or master regional techniques. In a cooking competition, teams strategize, delegate tasks and plate their creations. On a private food tour, an expert guide leads your group through neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Little Italy or Greenwich Village, pairing local stories with tastings between stops.
The experience culminates in a relaxed, social celebration. Teams can share the meal, compare competition dishes or discuss a favorite food-tour stop. In NYC, planners can also choose a location that makes it easy to continue with drinks, or leaves colleagues with a straightforward subway or taxi ride home. At the end of a cooking class, the chef will either give participants the menu and recipes to take home or send them through the Cozymeal system.
“Cooking together helps team bonding because no one is a pro so each step everyone works together or competes against each other. Either way creates a fun social atmosphere with a tasty meal at the end.” — Chef Kenneth, NYC-based Cooking Class Chef
