What Guests Are Saying About These Experiences With Chef Matt

Marques W.

03/29/2024

Working with Chef Matt was tremendous. He arrived on time, even asked if he could arrive a little early to get set up & ready to begin right on time. He brought any & all supplies you could need. He used premium ingredients which made the meal extremely flavorful. He was a great instructor, covering a multitude of cooking techniques, tips & tricks, & sharing lots of knowledge heâ€™s learned through his passion of cooking. He is very interactive & makes the entire cooking experience approachable. I highly recommend chef Matt & will happily work with him again.

Cooking with Chef Matt was an awesome experience! He was super knowledgeable without being overly instructive. He was a great conversationalist, balancing cooking and chatting really well. I would absolutely recommend this class because the food was incredible (yes, seriously!) and I would absolutely recommend any class with Chef Matt because he was great! Overall, a really fun experience.

This was our first time Cozymeal experience and it was a blast! Chef Matt and Cooper were fantastic hosts and we can't wait to make the pasta at home.

Ben C.

05/11/2016

Matt was amazing. He had a cheese plate waiting for us and walked us through each dish he was going ti prepare. Not only was the food amazing, but Matt was great to talk to and was very open. His house is also very comfortable and a great place to have dinner. I will definitely book with Matt again.

Lynn A.

Chef Matt made our team event a great experience - his home is warm and welcoming and he was great company as he taught us different pasta making techniques. In the end, we all sat down for a delicious dinner!

Alexandra C.

01/18/2016

Chef Matt is amazing! He did a great job laying out all the ingredients at each of the stations, gave clear instructions (as well as tips for chopping onions and crushing garlic!), and he made sure to stop by each station regularly in case we needed anything and just to chat. Each dish turned out amazing - you'll be completely stuffed by the end of the night. I highly recommend Chef Matt and pasta making night. So fun!

Sydney M.

08/04/2015

Chef Matt is the coolest. It was so fun to learn about pasta-making from him and hear about his travels in Alaska. Chef Matt is a fantastic teacher, a pleasure to talk to, and the food he makes is outstanding. He has some great cooking tricks to share and I now feel inspired to buy my own pasta machine. Loved his recipe for bolognese!

Esther H.

Chef Matt was AWESOME! Not only was the food delicious but Chef Matt really took the time to walk us through every step of the process. He taught us cutting techniques, answered all of our random cooking related questions and even pretended to like our jokes. Overall, a great chef and a person you will thoroughly enjoy preparing and sharing a meal with!

Adora L.

We booked Chef Matt's Spanish Paella cooking class for our company team building event in December and really enjoyed it. Chef Matt is very professional, knowledgable while at the same time really nice to work with. The food was delicious and everyone had a great time. The Cozymeal team was very helpful in making this possible. We will definitely come back again!
