Noah F.

10/17/2022

Chef Daniel was great! Learned some awesome tips on cutting and cooking this style of cuisine. The atmosphere was wonderful, and very conduscive of a "homey" cooking in the kitchen with my grandmother vibe. We had a blast in a group of six, partaking in the prep and cooking. All of us tackled many steps along the way, and Daniel was vocal the entire time. Daniel was very nice and struck great conversation both during and after cooking. My partner and I both love cooking, so this was a great insight and experience. Food was phenomenal, and the house smelled incredible. When asked about our favorite meals to cook, my partner and I just froze for whatever reason, but was still a very comfortable and welcoming environment (lol). I would do this again in a heartbeat, and would easily choose Chef Daniel again!

John Ramirez .

07/29/2022

Chef Daniel was an amazing host! Before we got started he inquired about food allergies amd/or sensitivities, took time to cover the dishes we would be making, the idividual ingredients, and proper techniques. He asked and answered questions, shared stories about his experiences as a chef, and ensured that each of his guests were able to (safely) rotate through various kitchen stations. It was an oitstanding experience, and I am looking forward to siging up for more of Chef Daniel's classes in the near future.

This class with Dan was delightful and delicious! He is a sweetheart, his kitchen is lovely and warm, and the food was delicious, and so much less daunting in light of his chill demeanor. It's a lot of ingredients, but he was great about letting us know where to buy in the area, which was helpful too. One thing I was struck with was the diversity of the group we were cooking with. We had two couples and a single person (that was me!), and there was a range of age and race and identity. It just felt very Philly, and I'm into that. Great course, and I would certainly do another with Dan!

Daniel is a great chef! He is very knowledgeable and easy to follow. We had a private date night in his home which was very welcoming. We walked away with tips and tricks and fun facts about the dishes and Italian cuisine in general. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a different spin on date night and I would recommend him as a private chef experience as well. 5 stars! We couldnâ€™t be more pleased and eager to try these dishes on our own at home.

Chef Daniel was amazing and showed us how to make our four-course meal with passion and great stories. He provided alternate options for some of the meals to adjust to people's dietary restrictions. I would definitely attend another class with him.

Chef Daniel is thoroughly engaging, a good story teller, and a gracious host. Some of the prep work was already done to provide ample time for cooking, yet there was plenty to do and to learn. Chef covered many useful topics, weaving culinary wisdom with anecdotes about his travels and family. We had a lovely group of folks with lively dinner conversation, all in the comfort of the Chef's charming home. A memorable experience.

What a great experience! For those who have never cooked or for those who have many cooking talents, Chef Daniel will create such a great experience for you. He makes sure everyone in the group is learning something and is very hands on the whole time. The Vietnamese Street food was absolutely delicious! Better than going to a restaurant, because you get to meet great people and learn along the way.

Daniel is truly amazing! First, he made the impossible possible as I was planning a surprise for my friend who has so many food restrictions. 2nd, everything was so delicious and we had so much fun learning and cooking with him. Also, his home is supper clean which I think is important for a chef. Overall I think 5 stars is not enough here I wish I could add a superstar. Highly recommended!

We had the best time with Chef Dan at our beach house in Stone Harbor, NJ for a surprise 30th birthday dinner. The chef was punctual and professional. We were a group of 9 people. Being such a large group, we know it is hard to please everyone, but each item on the menu was delicious and left us wanting Dan to come back again! All dishes were flavorful and described perfectly. We hope we can have Dan cook for us again soon! An added bonus is that he traveled over an hour to come to our house, which was so nice and generous. I'd recommend Chef Dan to anyone!

Thanks so much to Chef Daniel for such an AWESOME experience. His food was incredible! He is not only is an outstanding chef but very personable as well. The conversation flowed about food, my favorite subject, all night. He also teaches online classes and classes in his home as well. I'm looking forward to booking with Chef Daniel again and again. It was such a treat and you made my birthday very memorable, I have some pictures I wish I could post for you to see

Chef Daniel was AMAZING! Not only was the food incredible, but he had us entertained the entire night. He told us stories about his journey to becoming a chef, which included many funny times that heâ€™s had with friends and family over the years. He has a beautiful home and his kitchen was a good size for us to be able to move around. He had everything prepared for us to enjoy our experience cooking the menu. All of the ingredients were fresh and all of his equipment was first class. We really felt comfortable cooking with him, because we could tell he knew exactly what he was doing. This was more fun and gratifying than going out to a restaurant, because we go to eat so much delicious food that we were able to cook ourselves. We didnâ€™t know what to expect going into it, but weâ€™re sure glad that we gave it a shot. We highly recommend Chef Daniel as he far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back to cook with him again in the future.

Just had the Mezze Experience at Chef Dan's house with my good friend. I recommend this experience 1,000%!!!! Chef Dan is friendly, easy to talk to, a great teacher with lots of good cooking tips, has a beautiful home, and was just a wonderful host. I hope I can take more family and friends to cook and eat with Chef Dan, that's how much fun we had. Thanks for a wonderful experience and delicious recipes!

Cooking with Chef Daniel entertained all of our senses. With music playing in the background, we chopped fragrant herbs while Chef Daniel roasted vegetables. As we prepared other lunch dishes we learned about using knives and other kitchen tools properly. The best part of the experience proved to be eating the delicious lunch with so many flavors, colors and textures. 5 stars for Chef Daniel!

Our class was absolutely fantastic! Chef Daniel was incredibly nice, easy to talk to, incredibly educational, and kept the whole evening very casual. The food was immaculate and the instructions he sent us home with to recreate the meal are easy to follow. I highly suggest anyone looking for a Cozymeal experience to give Chef Daniel a chance if you are in the Philadelphia area.

Ladies and Gentlemen...Chef Daniel is an absolute national treasure. He was single handedly the greatest chef both my girlfriend and I ever witnessed with our own eyes and on top of that, he's one of South Philly's own. The meal we had, at Chef Daniel's expert direction, quite arguably may have been the greatest culinary undertaking in the known universe. Quite frankly, if you don't choose a Chef-Daniel-cozymeal-experience, your doing yourself and society a disservice. I'd give 6 stars if I could. Chef Daniel, bravo!

What an incredible experience! Chef Daniel brought all the necessary ingredients and supplies right to our house. He helped us understand how to use what we already have to realistically cook an amazing meal. It was the perfect combination of letting us do some of the work without feeling overwhelmed or slowing down the process. Chef Daniel is very knowledgeable and it was fun to talk one-on-one with him. He clearly loves cooking, and we were really glad to share that with him!

Chef Daniel is warm and engaging. His inviting personality shows in his fresh, delicious food. He has a lot of previous culinary teaching experience and it shows in the ease with which he demonstrates cooking techniques. His insider knowledge and stories, having worked in several well known downtown Philly restaurants, is fascinating. This is not to mention his food in incredibly delicious and flavorful! An experience with Chef Daniel is highly recommended!
