I had a blast!! Chef Kareem's home is clean, cozy, with a fun atmosphere. It was great to meet new people and share a meal with a great group of Austinites. I felt so welcome and had an amazing experience seeing Chef in his element. I will absolutely be doing this again and look forward to more meals to share. The mediterranean meal was out of this WORLD good!!!! Highly recommend. Thank you, Chef!

Jessica S.

07/26/2021

Kareem is funny and passionate about his trade and sharing his knowledge, so the class was a blast. And of course, he's an excellent chef! He'll go out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable and adapt any ingredients as necessary per dietary restrictions -- and it's still absolutely scrumptious! Can't recommend the class and learning from Chef Kareem enough!

Deana J.

07/25/2021

Chef Kareem is a gifted and charming teacher who multitasked with ease while preparing a lovely meal that looked fantastic and tasted even better. I highly recommend this class. The food was phenomenal and the small group 'in house' setting not only showed how the scrumptious food could be prepared in a normal - non commercial kitchen, but allowed for relaxed conversation among 'new friends'. It was a wonderful evening and honestly one of the best cooking classes I've ever had the pleasure of attending.

Renae

07/24/2021

Amazing experience! Chef Kareem was incredibly knowledgeable. He did a great job of answering everyoneâ€™s questions both about the food preparation and about cooking skills in general. The food was all delicious. Overall, a delightful evening!

Trinity G.

Chef Kareem, What an amazing experience. You could not have been more engaging, polite and informative. Your class was delicious and delightful. Thank you so much!!

KIM L.

04/11/2021

We had a fabulous time with Chef Kareem. As a family of foodies and cooks (including the college-aged kids), we loved adding to our Austin experience with knowledge we could bring home to extend the trip! Chef had lots of great cooking tips as well as recommendations for places to try in the area. He has an engaging style and such a fascinating story for how he came to cooking himself. The food was delicious and we all left feeling equipped to replicate the recipes ourselves. Would definitely take another class with Chef Kareem when we return to Austin. Highly recommended.

Yoav Z.

Natalie K.

I surprised my girlfriend with Kareem's "How to cook the perfect steak" class for Valentine's weekend. The experience and food definitely exceeded our expectations. Kareem carefully explained each process and answered any questions we had. His bubbly personality and sense of humor made us feel at home. I would highly recommend Kareem's cooking class to anyone.

Caleb C.

Matthew S.

My wife and I had the most amazing time at this class! Chef Kareem is not only an amazing chef but he's also an incredible teacher. He's extremely personable, knowledgeable and so much fun. The steaks turned out amazing as well as the garlic mashed potatoes and the cookie. I would recommend this class to anyone who enjoys a good steak (and already have)! It was a fantastic afternoon.

Zsuzsa V.

Chef Kareem is a great teacher! His kitchen is lovely, and even though we had a million questions, he had an answer to each of them.

If you're still thinking, just give it a go!

Elizabeth D.

CHRISTINE B.

Chef Kareem was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. What a wonderful afternoon!

Natalie K.

06/02/2019

Chef Kareemâ€™s class about cooking the perfect steak was such a fun and informative session! I was always wary of cooking my own steaks but feel a lot more confident after this class. He walked us through two techniques (grilling and pan searing/basting) with a lot of information about the cuts of meat, tips for how to know when itâ€™s ready and other things to keep in mind along the way. When we had the chance to try for ourselves we were amazed that we could cook such good steaks! He was really friendly and answered any questions we had. I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun afternoon!

Paul K.

05/05/2019

OMG!! What an amazing experience with Chef Kareem! Trying something different, I booked a night of learning to cook fabulous steaks for my birthday. My kids and I arrived at Kareemâ€™s house and the fun began right away. Chef Kareem was very gracious and had an interesting background growing up in Egypt. The food preparation was great and we all learned much about choosing the right cut of meat and preparing steak in a skillet and grill. Awesome mashed potatoes and chocolate chip cookie/cake for dessert! The time flew by. I will definitely try this again. So fun! Paul

Lindsay

04/16/2019

This was my first cozy meal experience and it was also Chef Kareem's first cozy meal group and I absolutely loved it. I thought my husband and I knew how to cook a good steak, but we were totally wrong! We really learned a lot of helpful ways on how to season and cook the perfect steak, as well as the perfect garlic mashed potatoes. I will definitely be cooking steak and potatoes a lot more and doing them Chef Kareem's style. He was super personable and friendly. He made cooking seem less intimidating and fun. My husband and I were super excited with our experience and would love to do it again.

Mindi W.

02/21/2019

Chef Kareem moved from Egypt to Austin just to study barbecue and how to prepare it. If that doesn't say all you need to know about his talents, I don't know what does. Chef Kareem is kind, open, and ready to answer any question you might have with a smile. He's also a great pasta maker and crafted one of the best Tiramisus I've ever had. He is a very well-rounded chef and will make even the most novice at-home cook feel at ease.

Fina R.

02/23/2019

Kareem was amazing! He helped me plan out the most perfect catering experience for my best friends bachelorette party - he and his wonderful wife dropped off and set up all of the food. We had the most wonderful feast. I wish they lived in NY I would have them cater all of my parties !! Thank you so much for making our first Texas BBQ experience very memorable !!

LaToya W.

Stephanie S.

02/23/2019

Kareem displayed all type of chef knifes, how to use them properly and for which type of food they would used for. He demonstrated proper knife usage in various ways to cut different vegetables. Kareem assisted my daughter & grand daughter in their use of different vegetable cuts with the appropriate knifes. The soup was delicious and Kareem was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in assisting my grand daughter with her knife cutting skills. Plans were made for the next cooking class. It was agreed upon to make a pasta with a special tomato sauce. Iâ€™m sure anyone who hires Kareem wonâ€™t be disappointed with his class.

Patti H.

02/23/2019

Kareem was a fantastic teacher â€“ we had a fun girls' night learning to make pasta. Highly recommend!

Emily L.

Kareem was awesome. He taught our group knife skills, how to chop an onion, how to make bolognese sauce, fresh mozzarella, and pasta. It was delicious and a great experience!

Heather S.

02/23/2019

Kareem is great! He found the perfect balance between teaching and letting us devolve into our own conversations when appropriate (there were quite a few of us). The food was delicious and I learned at least 3 things that made me go 'ooooooooooooooooohh'. Thank you Kareem! :)

Brittany S.

02/23/2019

Kareem was wonderfully instructive, kind, and patient with our group of girls at a bachelorette party. Kareem is so knowledgeable and entertained all of our questions. He went with the flow, adapted well to a new kitchen, and taught even the seasoned cooks among us new tricks. Highly recommend for any event!

Liz J.

Kareem taught a group of 8 women some knife skills, how to make fresh mozzarella, and making fresh pasta. He had extensive handouts to make sure that we'd be able to do the activities on our own after the class. He was very kind and patient, letting each person roll their own pasta. The food was great and we enjoyed his gentle personality.

Communication was easy with quick response time. Food arrived on time and was absolutely delicious. We've already booked for another event and will continue to do so. Must book â€” you won't regret it!
