I experienced the French cooking class as a double date with my boyfriend, my sister and her husband. What a memorable night! We were a tad hesitant going into the class because we weren't sure how comfortable we'd be in Chef Alec's apartment, but he made us feel very at ease. His space was clean and cozy, and between the music he had playing gently in the background, and the wine we were sipping as we cooked (we brought our own wine), the atmosphere and mood were relaxing and contributed to a truly enjoyable and unique experience. All four of us in our group enjoy cooking, so we really appreciated the fact that Chef Alec explained every step of the process for each dish. He shared helpful tips with us about layering the flavors in sauces, cooking chicken, and where to buy certain ingredients locally. He made French cooking seem much more approachable than we'd all believed it to be. We also really enjoyed hearing about Chef Alec's background, and he was kind enough to let us look through some of his French cookbooks, which we appreciated as well. Chef Alec served our meal while we relaxed and continued enjoying some wine. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the flavors of each were truly unlike anything we'd ever tasted! We all agreed this one of the best meals we'd ever eaten. The Ratatouille, Coq Au Vin, and Tarte Aux Pommes were all exquisite. We agreed that we'd like to make this meal for our family someday soon and are confident that we could pull it off, thanks to Chef Alec's instruction. I've even made the Ratatouille for myself since this class and was pleased with how it turned out. I would recommend Cozymeal cooking classes and Chef Alec specifically to anyone who has a love for food and learning new cooking techniques. This was such a fun and unique date night, and I'll definitely be signing up for another Cozymeal class in the future!
