We did the cozymeal cooking class (Asian fusion) as part of our team building activity. It was very fun and interactive. We learned so much about the different dishes, Chef Dirk and his assistant, Max, were also very friendly and funny! They had fun giveaways as well. The food was delicious. We were a group of 14 and it was just a new and refreshing way to have dinner with your colleagues apart from the traditional business meal dinner. highly recommend. They provide aprons for you but we brough our own company branded aprons.

The Chef was awesome, great personality, very fun and engaging. The group had a good time! However, the venue itself (I believe the chef's home) was quite shocking. There was a mess everywhere. There were non-functioning lights. The space was small but very untidy and felt chaotic. There was also a cat, which for our group was OK, but might affect others if there are allergies for guests, etc. The supplies were mis-matched and it felt disjointed. He had everything mapped and planned out well, but just seemed too casual for a corporate group. I would not suggest this for any type of executive/corporate group - but Ok for a group of friends or family.

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.

My team and I had a fantastic time with Chef Dirk. We chose the Asian Fusion challenge and it was a blast. Lots of laughter, rapid action, and fun conversations while preparing a tasty 4-course menu. Highly recommended!

My team and I had so much fun with Chef Dirk! He knows how to keep everyone engaged and involved, and we had a delicious meal to show for our team efforts. I definitely recommend Chef Dirk and the asian-inspired competition for any team-building needs!

Chef Dirk was so funny and knew how to make our team get together extra fun! I wasn't sure how we were going to be able to finish cooking 4 dishes in 1.5 hours but he was quick and has everything assigned to us already. He made sure no one felt left out - we took turns putting in all the spices - there were so many! Thanks, Chef Dirk for making our first cooking class a memorable one!

This experience was so much fun!!! Chef Dirk is so personable and engaging. He provided the perfect balance of tasks so that everyone stayed engaged. He also has a great sense of humor. If you're on the fence about trying out this type of experience like I was (since I'd never done anything like this before), do it! It was so much more fun than I expected and we all had a great time.

Chef Dirk was incredible! He brought so much skill, humor, energy, and motivation throughout the cooking lesson. This lesson was especially fun due to the competitive element that was built into it. The food came out incredible, and our group (we were on a double date) really bonded through the experience! There was also so much food, we were stuffed by the end of the four courses. Thanks so much Chef Dirk, your laughs were infectious and you are a great teacher!

Overall we had a good experience! Chef Dirk was very organized and animated so everyone had a good time! There's a few things I would definitely note for people who are thinking of booking this for a corporate event: 1. The event space is a home and can is a bit crowded/under-supplied; felt more appropriate for a social event instead of a corporate event. 2. There is an ask at the end of the event for a 20% tip. You should account for this in your budget. 3. The menu isn't too friendly for those with dietary restrictions; we had a pescatarian and vegetarian in our group and made sure that this was clear in advance, but they just had to skip the main meal. Overall, I would say it's a good activity, but might not be suitable for a corporate event.
