Chef Gilley was an excellent instructor. I have had trouble making authentic flavorful Asian dishes in the past, but this experience was completely different.

My husband and I loved our first Cozymeal class with Chef Gilley this past Saturday. He was an excellent instructor, and handled everyone's questions with ease and patience. The food he taught us to create was delicious and we will definitely recreate them ourselves for years to come. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to doing more Cozymeal classes!

Chef Gilley was delightful! An evening that was sure to be a tall order (20ish participants), and Chef made magic happen in every kitchen with his patience and reassurance. He went above and beyond in helping whip up a vegetarian version of our wonton, which turned out to be flavor bombs! We'll be back for more experiences with Chef Gilley in the future. Thank you!

Thank you Chef Gilley. We had so much fun. We made approximately 75 Won Tons, finished the flat bread/ pancakes and shared with friends. We will definitely be doing this again with family and friends in the near future. It really did help having everything measured in advance in small Bowls. Thank you for all of the techniques that you taught us. I'll cut my onions your way next time.
