Chef Ricky was incredible! This was a gift for my wife's birthday and we had such an incredible time. Chef helped us put together a delicious A5 Wagyu full course meal. Aside from the great food, he is a great story teller and made us feel so comfortable and welcome. Would highly recommend this experience for a special night and we look forward to booking with him again soon and bringing some friends along.

Chef Ricky was absolutely amazing! You could tell right away that he was not only very experienced, but extremely knowledgeable about not just sushi, but lots of other food. He set a great atmosphere with music, and a food station set up like you would see in sushi bars, so you did everything that they would do. The rolls came out delicious thanks to his guidance and fresh ingredients! We would definitely take other classes from him.

Chef Ricky was incredible and surpassed all of our expectations! We have done two classes with him now: both times the food was exquisite, and the information he delivered about food was so fun! He is incredibly knowledgeable about all areas of food and truly enjoys teaching others! We had such a good time the first class, we brought along my brother and SIL for the second class and they were equally impressed. We cannot wait to take more classes with Chef Ricky!

Chef Ricky was amazing! His class was incredibly interesting for myself and my 12 year old son. I'd recommend this class (or any other that he teaches) to anyone who's curious about the techniques, history, or professional approach to handling the best foods in the world. My son has been bubbling since we left, asking when we'll return - it'll be sooner than initially planned. It was an all-around glorious experience that I won't ever forget!

We got to cook and experience 15 courses over 2.5 hours including a delicious Japanese dessert! Chef Ricky made it so much fun and delicious that the time went very fast!

Ricky is knowledgeable, personable, and made us feel very comfortable while providing an educational experience that exceeded our expectations. One of our favorite aspects of the class is that all of the dishes we prepared were very accessible, all things we could make at home.

This was one of the best cooking classes I have ever taken. From the moment I walked in, Chef Ricky was incredibly warm and inviting, setting a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere for what turned out to be a masterclass. The class setup was great. Everything was organized, and ready for us to start learning. Chef Ricky is an excellent instructor. He truly takes the time to demonstrate technique clearly and patiently, ensuring everyone grasps the intricate details of maki creation. What really sets this class apart, though, is his depth of knowledge. He shared so much fascinating information on the history of sushi and its culinary evolution out of Japan. It transformed the class from a simple skill lesson into a rich cultural experience. And of course, the food! The quality of the ingredients Chef Ricky provided was top-tier, which made the final product taste incredible. Highly, highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of attending a private cooking class with Chef Ricky, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, Chef Ricky made us feel welcome and excited about the culinary journey ahead. His enthusiasm for cooking is infectious, and his expertise is evident throughout the class. The setup was perfect, allowing us to fully engage with the cooking process. Chef Ricky guided us through each step, sharing invaluable tips and techniques that we can use in our own kitchens. The recipes were not only delicious but also beautifully paced for us to learn without feeling rushed. One of the highlights was definitely the personalized attentionâ€”Chef Ricky took the time to address our questions and adapt the class to our cooking skill levels. By the end of the session, we had created a fantastic meal that we were proud of, and we left with a wealth of knowledge and newfound confidence in cooking. Overall, I highly recommend Chef Ricky for anyone looking to enhance their cooking skills in a fun and engaging way. Thank you, Chef Ricky, for a truly delightful culinary adventure!

For Motherâ€™s Day, I got to take my mom and sister to Chef Rickyâ€™s sous vide class and it was nothing short of spectacular! Before our class I was in touch with Chef Ricky, because as my mom is older I was worried about the length of time she may be standing, the timing of dinner and if she would be able to take her meal home if it was too late for her, etc. Chef Ricky was so responsive and helpful! The night was so wonderful. He had everything for us for us each to actually â€œcookâ€ and learn. The recipes were so tasty and his company unmatched! I canâ€™t wait to do it again!

Chef Ricky is incredible! Our group of 8 enjoyed his Ramen class to no end. He was polite, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Most importantly, he was patient with a group who only aspired to eat Ramen and couldn't imagine making our own. The experience provided us with a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere where we were able to chat, learn about each other, and laugh so hard until we cried. We will be back! Thank you Chef Ricky, a great time was had by all!

I had no idea what this type of cooking entailed, which was the purpose of my attendance.

Chef Ricky not only knows how to craft an exceptional Omakase style meal, but he does a great job of explaining the history of Sushi in Japan, and the changes that America has brought to Japanese cuisine. We not only made an awesome meal, but left with a better understanding of the history behind Sushi as well. His home is beautiful, and it truly was a fantastic experience for us. We have done CozyMeals in the past and Chef Ricky ranks among the top chefs we have had the pleasure to learn from. 10/10!

Booked my wife and I for her birthday. We could not have been happier and chef Ricky was great. He was a wealth of knowledge, gave additional help when needed, and had an incredibly well thought out class. We ended up with a bunch of sushi to bring home, and our own sushi rolling mats! So much fun and we will be back for his other classes!

08/05/2022

This was our first time using Cozymeal and we were a bit hesitant to go to someoneâ€™s home for a cooking class. After we walked in the front door we knew we made a great decision! Chef Rickey was fantastic and we had an incredible experience. The food was top notch quality and the service and knowledge could not be any better. We are all planning to do this event again because it was so much fun and extremely informative. I cannot recommend Chef Rickey enough. The price was extremely low considering the types of food we had and the service we received. Chef Rickey also has a beautiful home that is perfect for this event. The instruction is perfect for beginners to professionals in the kitchen and all of our requests far exceeded our expectations.

Chelsie Fridley .

We had a fantastic time in Chef Rickyâ€™s Omakase class. Chef Ricky is extremely knowledgeable, kind and an excellent teacher. The entire menu he prepared was so good that we had a hard time deciding what our favorite dish was! Not only was the hands on experience really fun, we also really enjoyed learning some history about Japanese cooking and cuisine. We highly recommend taking one of his classes.

Stephanie C.

Chef Ricky's Omokase class was our second with him (after the sous vide course). He is friendly, knowledgeable, and a great teacher. These classes are a fun date night and chance to eat new foods, made even better with the hands-on experience!

Evany D.

Chef Rickyâ€™s sushi class was AMAZING!! We were impressed as soon as we walked into his beautiful home. Each station in the kitchen was prepped perfectly for us with everything we could need including all ingredients and tools. It was such a calm and relaxing environment which made for the perfect weekend date activity. Chef Ricky was so kind, engaging and knowledgeable and walked us through every step of the sushi process. We really feel like we learned a ton!! And at the end we got to take home our sushi creations and even the mats. Everything was so fresh and tasty - we couldnâ€™t have had a better experience, right down to his dog saying hello and his sweet wife taking our photo! Thank you Chef Ricky!!

Lisa G.

06/04/2022

Could not have asked for a better experience sushi making with Chef Ricky! We learned so much and enjoyed all his stories and tidbits about cooking. We will be back for another one of his classes soon. Thanks, Chef!

Darby C.

06/02/2022

This class was so much fun and Chef Ricky is the best! It is in the chefâ€™s house, so donâ€™t be alarmed when the maps takes you to a neighborhood. I got this for my boyfriend for a birthday gift and he loved it. There were 6 people in the class, he has a beautiful home with so much space. The spots are nicely setup with everything you need. He teaches you to make sushi from scratch and helps you every step of the way. He is very detailed and will answer any questions you have as well as make sure you are doing everything correctly so no one gets frustrated. You can bring your own drinks, he provides wine glasses and water. The price is absolutely worth it, you make so many rolls of sushi that you eat while you cook and also get to take so much home with you, you will have sushi for days!

This was our Second cooking class with chef Ricky and we loved it. He meticulously has everything ready/prepped at your own cooking station so the class goes smoothly. It was a completely different experience then the sushi class but equally as enjoyable. Would definitely do another class.

tony m.

05/15/2022

This was an incredible experience! From the moment we entered his home Chef Ricky made us feel like family.

Chef Ricky is top class in his art, professionalism, hosting, and personality. Chef Ricky made this experience one of a kind and we would recommend his Omakase class to anyone. I would assume all of his classes are of similar nature which means I would recommend Chef Ricky to anyone. His expertise and knowledge is unbelievable. We will definitely be taking another class with Chef Ricky.

Taylor S.

03/06/2022

Chef Ricky was absolutely wonderful! His knowledge and expertise regarding preparation and creation of tasteful & unique sushi and sashimi rolls were enlightening, the rolls we created were even more so delicious. This is a greater starting point for beginners to the sushi/sashimi making process, and a fun date night/gift for your sushi loving partner or friends!

Nate R.

02/27/2022

We had the most amazing experience with Chef Ricky. Fortune for us, the other couples in our group could not make it so we had a personal class. The Chef was patient, answered all our (many) questions and was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. The food was delicious and we had an exciting variety of flavors and proteins. We will be talking about this for years to come.

Audrey B.

02/26/2022

Chef Ricky was excellent. The class exceeded our expectations and took us out of our comfort zones. We loved things that we would have never ordered out at a restaurant. Chef Ricky goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. We enjoyed all of the knowledge/history that Chef Rickey had to share. We canâ€™t wait to do another class.

Rachel B.

02/26/2022

An amazing experience, the Chef really outdid himself with the menu! He has such a passion for his craft and a talent for teaching. I love sushi and even had so many things I've never had before. The details, the quality, the inviting kitchen and all the preparation for our class really put a bow on it. You will not find a better way to spend your time! A++++++

Andrea S.

02/23/2022

Chef Ricky was amazing! The sushi rolls were amazing and the smoked soy sauce was so delicious. We learned so much about the history of sushi and about all of the various ingredients. I really felt after leaving the class that I could make sushi at home and impress my friends! I canâ€™t wait to do another class with Chef Ricky again.

Pearl M.

Jason R.

02/14/2022

My fiancÃ© and I celebrated Valentine's Day this year by taking Chef Rickyâ€™s Sushi Omakase class. The class was amazing! It was very hands-on and we learned about the history of sushi and Japan and how to make delicious food! The kitchen was beautiful and each person had their own setup with ingredients and tools. We brought sake with us to enjoy during the class. The class lasted about 2.5 hours and when we finished, we were FULL. I highly recommend taking this class. Thank you Chef!

Michael H.

02/07/2022

Chef Ricky offered an amazing experience with this sushi class. We learned not only how to make sushi but also the history. I will definitely recommend the class to family and friends.

Celeste C.

01/30/2022

Chef Rickyâ€™s sushi class was so much fun! The atmosphere and energy makes you feel very welcomed. Chef Ricky is very knowledgeable and encourages you to add your own personality to the food you make. We learned so much and being able to have a hands on approach gave us the confidence to cook without judgement. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone who wants to know the interesting history and background of sushi while also making a delicious meal.

Janet M.

01/25/2022

My client Carolyn wrote this as this was for her family of four. We had an amazing sushi class with Chef Ricky. HIGHLY recommend him and his brilliant mind. Not only does he supervise and show you how to make sushi, but he educates you on the history, adding in fun anecdotes and important tips through his wealth of experience in the restaurant field, This is not a lecture class â€”- it is hands on fun. Chef Ricky makes the sushi along with you â€”- AND you get to eat everything you assemble, with plenty to take home for tomorrow. This mom truly appreciated his detailed attention to clean surfaces and safe preparation. What a great way to spend a family evening â€”- even my college-aged kids loved it. Shhhhh â€”- donâ€™t tell anyone â€”-but Iâ€™m buying my husband Chef Rickyâ€™s Sous vide class for a Valentines Day gift!

Maxine L.

01/23/2022

My girlfriend and I took Chef Rickyâ€™s classic sushi roll Class and absolutely loved it! We learned a lot about where sushi originated and Chef Ricky took us step by step on how to make sushi. Chef Ricky made the class extremely fun, informative, and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and was patient and entertaining. Iâ€™d highly recommend Chef Rickyâ€™s class to everyone! If youâ€™re ever interested in taking a course I recommend Chef Ricky. Thank you for an amazing class and we look forward to taking more!

Gray experience and knowledgeable chef.

Janet M.

12/19/2021

I was not familiar with Sous VIde cooking. Chef Ricky made it all so easy! We made crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e first. This took the longest time to cook in the water. Next we made the whole red snapper. THe amazing thing is that the snapper only took 45 minutes to cook in the Sous Vide machine. The whole experience was over the top! We made fresh cilantro rice to go with the snapper. This was definitely 5+ stars! Highly recommend Chef Ricky!

Jasmine S.

12/18/2021

Chef Ricky was knowledgeable and friendly. He talked about the history of techniques and ingredients. He also told stories about his own career. Absolutely recommend!

Tyler N.

12/17/2021

It was a great experience! We took the sushi class and it was amazing! Chef Ricky is very knowledgeable and not only did we learn how to make sushi, but also the history, different kinds, and all about tuna. We had plenty of sushi to take home and I feel quite prepared to do it at alone at home!

Janet M.

12/15/2021

We had so much fun with Chef Ricky that I booked another sushi lesson with a group of clients. We had a group of six. All of my clients had the BEST time!!! After the first roll, everybody felt much more at ease. Chef Ricky plays music that is geared towards sushi (Rolling in the Deep). We learned about the history, ingredients and proper food safety guidelines for preparing sushi. Chef Ricky answered all questions including non sushi questions. His kitchen is perfect for teaching an intimate sushi class. Highly recommend that you book quickly as the spots fill up quick!!! 5 Stars!!!!!!!!

Janet M.

12/15/2021

Chef Ricky is amazing! All participants had their own sushi work station. Chef Ricky explained all the ingredients and put everyone at ease. We all made delicious sushi by the end of the class. His music selection went great with the class. I highly recommend this class. 5 Stars

Brian W.

12/12/2021

Chef Ricky by far made a very memorable and luxurious experience.. Very knowledgeable and gives lots of great hands on tactics of making our first but not the last do it yourself sushi rolls - five stars all the way!!!!!

My 15 year old son and I had such a wonderful experience! Ricky was wonderful and patient, fun, knowledgeable.. and a very warm, welcoming environment! We will be back and recommend this class to all friends in the Tampa area! Thanks Ricky!!

Lisa Y.

10/31/2021

The experience was great! Chef Ricky is a retired professional chef. Without knowing his background you would guess that he is serious about cooking when you walk into his professional kitchen. For each participant, he has a complete work station set up. He works opposite of you so that you see each step and techniques. He also gives history and interesting facts along the way. Definitely worth the money. What a wonderful experience!

Jeffrey S.

10/23/2021

Booked for my daughterâ€™s birthday. Chef Ricky was welcoming, well prepared, knowledgeable and fun. We had a great time and highly recommend.

Ketsy D.

Chef Ricky was absolutely amazing. I took my husband for his bday as a surprise and he made the experience so much fun. It was a memorable time. Heâ€™s so professional, organized, totally explained and taught the class so much. Thank you and we will be back soon ?

Summer S.

10/03/2021

Chef Ricky was knowledgeable, entertaining, and passionate about his craft. Such a fun and unique dining experience! Definitely worth the cost, considering how many left overs we had and how long we were there! Do yourself a favor and book with chef Ricky for a memorable afternoon you wont soon forget!

Zubiya S.

09/11/2021

Absolutely the best Chef and experience ever! We went in a group of 6 to celebrate a friends birthday and had such a fun/relaxing experience. Chef Ricky was so knowledgeable, helpful and easy to get along with. (His kitchen is sick!!). Definitely worth the money and time!!!

We really enjoyed our class with Chef Ricky! He is an expert chef and taught this class in a wonderful and relaxed environment in his home. Our sous vide class was very informative and fun! We totally recommend any of his classes!! Scott and Kay

Stephanie L.

07/05/2021

Wow, where do I even start. I arranged this for my husband and our best friends to do this class together for his birthday. It was the highlight of his weekend! â€¨â€¨We all agreed that Chef Ricky is a genius. He knows so much about the culture and history behind sushi (do you know what the word â€œsushiâ€ even means? Youâ€™ll find out!) as well as the intricate process and exact ingredients (aka the right ones!) that go into the process of actually creating the sushi rolls. â€¨â€¨DEFINITELY come hungry! You make an incredible amount of delicious food. You get to take home what you donâ€™t eat (which for me was a lot) along with your sushi mat! Iâ€™ve already bought the recommended ingredients so I can make sushi at home! This review is falling short on describing just how good the experience was. I would say it was worth AT LEAST $150 per person. It was really fun, delicious, informative, and Chef Rickie makes the experience enjoyable :) I fully recommend this class to any one who is interested in learning to make sushi!

Chad A.

07/04/2021

Chef Ricky made this class so much fun. Not only was he a great entertainer and host, he is an amazing chef and teacher. He was accommodating to all my wifeâ€™s food allergies. It felt like a safe space even for a rookie in the kitchen like I am. 10 out 10 would do again and will recommend to all our friends.

Tiffany G.

06/29/2021

This was an amazing experience and I look forward to doing this again. The atmosphere of a home definitely makes the experience more "cozy" and inviting! Looking forward to adding my 10 year old to the mix!

Dwayne V.

06/22/2021

Chef Ricky was nothing short of Amazing! If I could give this class 6 stars, I would. My wife and I had an amazing experience making sushi for the first time. Chef Ricky was very informative and really kept the class entertaining from beginning to end. If this is your first cooking class, you definitely will not be disappointed. Thanks again Chef Ricky for putting on a wonderful experience and being a top-notch host.!

Broward H.

06/14/2021

Wow! What a great experience. I and my wife took the class with Ricky and we both had some pre conceived notions about sushi, I mean a real misunderstanding about the food but Ricky took his time and walked us through the class step by step and made it very easy to grasp the concept of sushi making. I would take this class over, as a matter of fact I will be signing up for another class with Ricky and would really recommend anyone to take this class. We walked away with a much broader understanding about sushi and the process of how itâ€™s made.

Kelmeca M.

06/02/2021

This was our first cooking class and it was phenomenal. Chef Ricky was very personable and funny, and interacted with each student. We had a variety of fresh and authentic ingredients, and the smoked soy sauce was the best. We left with sooooo much sushi. Overall, it was a delicious experience and would highly recommend this class.

CHRIS F.

06/02/2021

This was such an AMAZING experience. My wife has been looking to do this for a while and hasn't had much luck finding a sushi class. I did this as a birthday surprise and it was the most incredible time! Chef Ricky is so organized and love that this class is all hands on. Not only does he do an amazing job teaching, but he makes it fun! He's energetic and keeps the class up beat. We will def be back to learn more from Chef Ricky.

Alison H.

05/28/2021

Chef Ricky was amazing!! I cannot recommend this class enough. Chef Ricky and his wife are so inviting and their house is beautiful. They make you feel right at home immediately. Chef Ricky is a great teacher and has some many jokes along the way. We made soooo many rolls, I was blown away that I was able to make so much food in only 2.5 hours. The class is the perfect amount time, amount of laughs and learning. The best part is how much you get to eat during class and bring home! I can't wait to take another class from Chef Ricky!

Debra A.

Weâ€™ve attended a couple of Rickyâ€™s classes, and he genuinely cares about teaching and the needs of his students. He can answer whatever questions you need to know about Asian cuisine, and if there is time, he can show or discuss a variation on a recipe. Truly wonderful! He will change the way you cook and eat.

Chef Ricky (his wife, and two pups) made the evening unforgettable! Not only did he satisfy my personal need to know "Why?" for everything, but he connected with everyone in our class. For his set up, each station was the image of perfection. He thought of everything! Right down to two mini trash cans, color coded for trash or recycling and togo boxes! Witty, hands on, doesn't rush/push, allows for creativity when making your own rolls, delicious personal recipes. I would change nothing from this experience!

THIS REVIEW IS LONGGGGG OVERDUE!!!! (Which I sincerely apologize for Chef) The experience with Chef Ricky was one that I can't even put into words. The professionalism and expertise which Chef Ricky possesses was one of a kind. My boyfriend and I felt so welcomed and comfortable. Although this was such a relatively new meal for the both of us, we felt like legit professionals!!! Chef Ricky was very detailed and thorough with the step by step directions. He helped me not feel as nervous as I initially was. Very welcoming spirit, and the kitchen was beautifuulllllllll. My boyfriend and I left extremely happy with the experience and highly recommend for any occasion. I would definitely book again in the future.

I surprised my husband with this sushi class for his birthday and it was more than I could have ever imagined. Chef Ricky was so welcoming, polite, and easy going. We learned more than expected about the history and craft of sushi making and had a wonderful time creating some of the most delicious rolls weâ€™ve ever eaten. We had an incredible time and absolutely loved Chef Rickyâ€™s humor and musical taste. We canâ€™t stop talking about the class and have recommended it to everyone we know.

Chef Ricky is a real inspiration to young chefs and a great mentor. My 15-year-old and I both had the best time at his sushi class, and we're going back to take another class with Chef. His knowledge is unbeatable, and he has great standards of quality and a smart way of conveying these. So, being around him even for a short time really helps you become better in the kitchen!

Chef Ricky not only had a superb set up that was well thought out, organized, clean and meticulously planned but his class, expertise and sense of humor were the icing on the cake. Very highly recommended sushi making class that was perfect for a couples event. You can't go wrong by booking this experience!

Great time! Great laughs! Donâ€™t let Chef Ricky fool you, thatâ€™s His playlist not his wifeâ€™s! :) Learned a lot tonight that I will defiantly take home with me to my own kitchen! Thank you so much!

Chef Ricky's Classic Sushi Rolls from Scratch class takes you on an EXPERIENCE!!! Chef Ricky is so nice, patient and an extraordinary teacher. I love to eat sushi but I am in no way a chef (or even cook for that matter lol). He made me confident in my sushi skills. I was absolutely blown away that I was able to make beautiful sushi rolls :) DO NOT HESITATE. SIGN UP NOW for his class because it fills up fast. This is an experience that you all deserve and Chef Ricky will not disappoint. Thank you Chef and your wife for the enjoyable experience !!!!!!!!

I took Chef Ricky's introduction to sushi cooking class with my girlfriend for our 1 year anniversary. He was great and took is time to teach each participant (6 of us) how to make sushi from scratch. I don't cook nor have a lot of experience and by the end of the class felt accomplished. Highly recommend the class. Thanks!
