Chef John

An amazing class!

Chef John is hands down one of the best chefs I've had the pleasure to learn from. His passion for cooking shines through every step of the class, and he knows exactly how to break down complex techniques so anyone can follow along and succeed. What really stood out was how personable and patient he was — making the whole experience fun and stress-free while pushing us to elevate our skills. The food we made wasn’t just delicious; it felt like a dish you’d actually be proud to serve to guests at home. If you want a cooking class that’s both inspiring and practical, Chef John is your go-to. I’d recommend his classes to anyone serious about cooking or just looking to level up and enjoy the process.

It was my first time using Cozymeal, and it was for a date night with my wife. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Chef John was fantastic, and we had the opportunity to meet another couple. The food was excellent, and we greatly appreciated the chef's expertise and wonderful sense of humor. We will definitely use Cozymeal again in the near future.

Chef John made the entire experience! The food we made was delicious and it was a blast learning how to make everything. Chef John is very knowledgeable about all things food / cooking and made it very fun and easy!

Chef John is great, a wealth of knowledge and experience. Excellent meal. He is a fantastic teacher, chef and host. He runs an extremely organize class and teaches you many tips.

His kitchen and his apartment were immaculate. He was friendly and sociable. His skillset excellent. My only wish is that he would have provided us with the recipes for the meal we cooked.

We had a great time with Chef John. He gave us great cooking tips like healthier alternatives for certain ingredients and showed us how to chop things correctly.The food was great and the sorbet at the end was delicious!

Great experience with Chef John! We learned a lot and the meal was delicious! I definitely recommend him!

Chef John was amazing! The sushi experience was so good and fresh. He is so nice and knowledgeable! Would definitely book again.

What a wonderful experience, I’m so glad I chose chef John!!! He was a very personable and knowledgeable host! The food was delicious and he made it look so easy! I highly recommend the Cozy meal with Chef John!

Chef John is fantastic, we learned many cooking insider tricks, and the meal was delicious and filling. We really appreciated his willingness to adapt to all of our (many) food restrictions. Thank you for opening your home to us for the lesson Chef John!

The food was delicious. It was a great menu for all seafood and crab cakes lovers. However, we had to take care of clearing the plates ourselves between courses and bring everything back to the kitchen (from the dining room) at the end and clean up ourselves. We had another Cozymeal last year, and everything was put away. We did not have to lift a finger. I was just a little surprised by that.

Delicious!

Chef John was an excellent host and great cook. Look forward to booking another cooking class with him in the near future.

This experience was truly fantastic. Chef John is a remarkable cook and an even better host. Thank you for having us! We can’t wait for the next one.

Fantastic Experience. Would dine with Chef John again.

Chef John exceeded our expectations! This was a great date night for my husband and I. The food was delicious and the conversation flowed smoothly the whole time. Would love to book him again!

Chef John hosted us to a great evening last night near Fort Lauderdale! We came down for vacation as two couples looking to do something different than go out for dinner. We found that with Cozy Meal and Chef John and his Flavor Trip to Mexico menu. He is an excellent host. We started with a Caesar Salad (home made dressing and croutons, obviously), then had pulled pork carnitas tacos (my personal favorite), lobster quesadillas (delicious), and chocolate avocado mousse (big hit with the group). Along the way, we helped Chef John chop, saute, and dice, and received instructions, tips, and tricks of the kitchen to take back with us. Overall an informative entertaining and delicious evening. Can't wait to make some of all of these dishes again!

Chef John cooked for us a great meal! It was a great experience, we really had fun. John is a great host and fun to be around! Highly recommended!!!

John was great. I have done similiar type experiences locally, and pre-pandemic so wasn't sure what to expect in this setting. John's home setup provided a level of kitchen intimacy to see styles and techniques which I can't wait to use. Homemade caesar dressing was great and super easy so can't wait to see if my wife will give it a try herself. Also, the way he cooked the pork carnitas with the orange juice was a new technique for me as it is one of my favorite taco proteins. Nice to meet you John and thoroughly enjoyed.

Great evening with Chef John. Food was amazing, we learned lots of tips and tricks, and great conversation!

Rave reviews for John! John cooked a delicious meal for my husband and I to celebrate my husband's birthday and all was perfection. He spoke to me several times before the event to ensure all my special requests would be met and happily agreed to make modifications to the on-line menu. He arrived early with all the cooking tools and food needed and was courteous and professional throughout. Every course was delicious--beginning with a tomato-based pasta fagioli soup that had just the right kick, a Caeser salad with fresh parmesan and home-made croutons, a perfectly prepared steak putanesca, parmesan potatoes and broccoli and ending with bananas foster. We would rate the food a 10 out of 10 and would definitely book with Cozymeal again.

Great caterer. Great variety. Delicious food.

John is a great chef and his cookbooks are great!

I met John in the early 90’s when he was a restaurant manager in downtown Miami. John served amazing lunches cafeteria style. There was always a line at the door, where he often greeted the crowd with his warm personality. He cooked several daily specials that always sold out, but my favorite was the hand carved sandwiches. I asked him if I could buy several pounds of his delicious potato salad (it was better than homemade) to take to a party, he quickly obliged and he soon was cooking for a birthday dinner party at my house. John prepared fajitas with all of the traditional sides. Beans, nachos, quesadillas, all perfectly spiced. My cousin enjoyed the meal so much that she hired John on the spot to cook for her New Years Eve party in 1993 and he has continued through 2019! The New Years menu changes annually. Each year tops the previous year with a buffet of creative dishes, but a standout lamb chop appetizer remains a constant. Shrimp (cocktail or coconut), broiled salmon, beef tenderloin, potato pancakes, poke bowls, beef kabobs, there are just too many fabulous items to remember. Always served beautifully and well prepared. John and his staff always provide excellent service and high quality, delicious food with loads of creativity. 5 stars all the way. I can’t wait to see his menu this year, in addition to the lamb chops!

I love the wonderful healthy healing food that chef john creates. It has nurtured me and taught me how to eat well and stay balanced. This is a 5 star chef.

I am very fortunate to have experienced Chef Johns cooking a number of times. He is extremely creative. Each time I truly enjoyed the meals. I would highly recommend Chef John and would be happy to eat anything he cooks.

I have had the pleasure and honor of dining on Chef John’s cuisine for many years. I have also ordered his food to dine on at home. Chef John’s creations are both innovative and delicious. If there was a 10 star rating, he would be 10+. I love everything he makes from soup to salad to entrees. His vegan tuna and egg salad are over the top! His soups are amazing. I can’t express how wonderful his food is!
