Booked the class Private Event - Evan Knowles & Guests - Italian Classics and Tiramisu with Chef Vivek

My wife and I signed up for "Italian Classics and Tiramisu" with Chef Vivek at his place. He was super pleasant and very welcoming. He was extremely professional and taught us a lot, even about the history behind the dishes. We had a lot of fun and the food was amazing. Words cannot describe how great the food was. We will be taking more classes with Chef Vivek and highly recommend him for your own experience!

I had an amazing experience with my CozyMeal chef Vivek! The Mediterranean dishes were absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and you could truly tell the chef is passionate about their craft. Not only was the food incredible, but the entire experience felt warm, welcoming, and professional. I would highly recommend this chef to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Mediterranean dining experience. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!

Chef Vivek's experience spans Italian, French, Mediterranean and French Riviera cuisines, with a focus on seasonality, ingredient integrity and refined, yet approachable execution. He has worked in professional kitchens, which becomes clear in his demeanor for private chef and cooking class experiences. He is organized, discreet and consistent. He also has a distinguished high-standard of flavor and presentation. His true passion in life is crystal clear: it's all about food.
