Made sushi rolls giving me the confidence to try at home. The class was relaxed and well structured. Pleased I have something new to add to repertoire.

Five stars is not enough. Chef Andy and Chef Coco gave us a wonderful experience from start to finish. They came to our home and taught us how to prepare an absolutely amazing Mexican meal, and everything about the evening exceeded our expectations. They were warm, friendly, very instructive and fund. They made the cooking process feel approachable, fun, and memorable. What really stood out was how they combined great teaching with genuine friendless and a desire to teach. We learned a lot, ate an incredible meal, and truly enjoyed having them in our home. Remarkably, they even left our kitchen cleaner than it was when they arrived. I would highly recommend Chef Andy and Chef Coco to anyone looking for a special, delicious, and well-run private cooking experience.

Alyssa H.

We had a wonderful experience hiring Chef Andy and his sous chef Coco for a private dinner in our home. The meal was absolutely fantastic- beautifully presented and delicious from start to finish. Andy and Coco were professional, organized, and made the entire evening feel effortless and fun. They handled everything seamlessly and even left the kitchen spotless. It truly felt like having a fine dining restaurant experience in our own home. Highly recommend Chef Andy and Coco if you're looking for a memorable private chef experience!

Chef Andy and this class were amazing. We learned really useful knife skills and received great instruction on how to roll sushi. To add, the end-product was amazing, and we will certainly be trying this out ourselves. He is a great person and made the class a blast.

Date night with my boyfriend and Chef Cocoa was a lovely experience. I gifted him this Cozymeal sushi class, and we had so much fun prepping and rolling sushi. It turned into a very filling dinner â€” we even had to take some to go. The class was well organized and easy to follow, with a great group of people. The ambiance at Chef Andyâ€™s place was great, plus easy parking. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend :)

I recently coordinated and attended a corporate pizza making class with Chef Andy and his team, and it was great! As a host, Chef Andy was exceptional. His warmth, enthusiasm, and sense of humor created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that kept us entertained throughout the class. He tailored the experience to suit our dietary needs and culinary preferences, ensuring that everyone felt included and could fully participate. Chef Andy's expertise in pizza making was incredibly impressive. He adjusted his teaching style to accommodate various skill levels, making sure everyone could grasp the techniques and get hands-on with the process. I highly recommend Chef Andy and his team for any corporate or private cooking event. Their exceptional hosting skills, accommodation, and culinary expertise make for an unforgettable experience.

Chef Andy and his team were phenomenal! Our corporate group of 34 participated in the Latin inspired tacos team building activity. We had multiple last minute requests due to dietary restrictions and allergies. Chef Andy was patient and invested quite a bit of time in making modifications. I was worried about making sure everyone had a similar experience despite any dietary restrictions and Chef handled it all perfectly. Our group had a long day before we even arrived but Chef Andy and his team brought so much positive energy that the team ended up also being reenergized. Chef was authentic, personable, and funny. Every person in our group stayed engaged the entire time. We received great feedback about the event from participants. The food was also excellent!

Jennifer F.

04/29/2024

What a great experience! I can't begin to say how much fun we had. Chef was great at figuring out how to make it work in our very limited kitchen. Chef Andy had everything prepped and ready to go making it easy to interact with him as he prepared our meal. The food quality was excellent and the taste was phenomenal. We enjoyed the "Emily in Paris" experience and would use Chef Andy again for another. Thanks Chef for a great evening in.

Mike A.

5 hours agoChef Andy was fantastic! My wife and I have done a few other cooking classes in more commercial settings, but this was much more enjoyable. We had a small class of about 5 people, so all of us were getting plenty of personal attention and tips, and I've already seen my knife handling skills increase considerably in the two days since we took the class. It's fun, a great environment, he played great music, and we actually learned a ton. We also ended up having a great meal! Everyone got along super well, so we ate our creations together and really bonded as a group. Chef Andy's recipes were amazing, and everyone was raving about their own dishes. The portions were huge, so I actually had enough left over to make a tasty breakfast out of it as well. We did a vegan cooking class that night. I'm not one, but my wife is vegetarian. He taught us a ton about nutrition and the benefits of plant based diets, but was in no way preachy or judgemental to those of us who weren't practicing vegans/vegetarians. He created a welcoming, warm, and fun environment for us all to learn and play in. I can't thank him and his assitant enough for their hospitality. And I haven't even mentioned how accomodating he was, as we had to reschedule TWICE after we had a whole lot of life hit us and make it so we couldn't keep our first appointments. He was just like, "No big, that happens. Here's my next few availabilities." If we take more Cozymeal classes in the future, I'm checking out Chef Andy's page first. He seems to have a great head on his shoulders, and I have a feeling he'll be a big shot chef in the not so distant future. You should definitely sign up for a class with him before he gets too big. Thanks again to you both, and good luck in future endeavors!

Chef Andy taught an awesome cooking class, it was a great mix of fun, educational, and super tasty. Each of the tapas tasted awesome -- the risotto was the star of the meal for me, and my fiance was obsessed with the salad. Along with the recipes, Chef Andy also taught kitchen skills like knife work and building intuitions about taste as we're cooking. I would totally recommend this class to anyone who considers themselves a foody.

Madeleine W.

12/13/2023

Iâ€™ve taken other cooking classes before, and this has been by far my favorite. Andy made the experience fun and easy to understand. We learned so much about flavor, helpful tips in the kitchen, and most importantly - how it can be easy to make handmade pasta. Andy made his home feel like our own and we will for sure be doing another class in the future. This was the perfect birthday gift activity!

Daniel S.

12/09/2023

Chef Andy was absolutely amazing. He welcomed us in with open arms and was really excited to teach us. He made the atmosphere so relaxing and fun that we all became friends at the end of the evening. We met another wonderful couple there as well and we became friends with them as well and felt like we all knew each other for so long. Chef Andy makes it all hands on fun learning experience and teaches you some very interesting and fun things along the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone and we definitely plan on going back to him for another class in the future.

Booked the "Kids Colorful Italian Creation" class for our family. The kids (ages 12, 10, 5) and my wife and I were all hands on and loved learning different cooking techniques. Chef Andy was great with making sure everyone was involved and having fun. Chef Andy was a great teacher and showed/shared his knowledge of food throughout the class. It was definitely a fun class to do and it was great seeing the kids enjoy tasting their delicious creations.

My husband and I had a FABULOUS time learning from Chef Andy. He has fantastic stories, and was able to help us hone in our knife and intuitive cooking skills - Chef Andy is a patient teacher and very supportive. The menu/food was delightful, and it was a perfect way to celebrate my husband's birthday. I've already recommended him to three friends, and can't wait to hire him for future classes! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely evening.

Marie S.

09/13/2023

We had a fantastic time! Chef Andy was very down to earth and personable. I was very impressed with how he not only taught us how to make the specific recipes, but how to be an excellent chef. He began the class with teaching us knife skills, showing us different cutting techniques and allowing us to practice on the various vegetables weâ€™d be using in the meal. He taught us how to smell and taste the difference between different herbs and spices, and was excellent at showing and teaching without just taking over and doing it himself. He was very attentive without being invasive, and it made for a very well-paced and entertaining evening! I would highly recommend Chef Andy. The Argentinian steak, vegetables and empanadas were top notch and his ingredients were high quality, and he even gave us recommendations on where to buy everything. Weâ€™re already considering what meal and when we might boom with him again!

Liz P.

Chef Andy did an incredible job during our pasta making class. He was so welcoming and informative. He is a fantastic teacher; I really feel confident that I could make fresh pasta at home now. I recently took another cooking class at Eataly and have taken a handful of classes over the years and can say this was the best class I have ever taken. I highly recommend Chef Andy.

Truly such a fun & cozy evening! Andy made the whole experience educational, fun, and memorable. The pasta dishes were delicious, and he even tailored some of the recipes to our group.

Michael - Chef Andy has a great personality and the cooking class was well-organized, and all of us with different levels of culinary skill learned something from the class. From an administrative standpoint, Chef Andy facilitated seamless communication and accommodation for our custom menu, even providing a vegetarian option for one of our team members. His thoughtfulness extended to sharing group photos with us at the end and ensuring that everyone had a great time. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Andy to everyone.

Chef Andy did a wonderful job as an instructor and his home kitchen and dining area were well designed for the class and tastefully decorated. He provided excellent information and demonstrations about knife skills, prep tips, food safety and cooking styles. His kitchen, the appliances, tools and utensils were spotless and in good shape. We plan to make the turmeric chicken and grilled veggies at home - didn't realize we can grill the veggies without oil using a non-stick pan; appreciated using a small amount of oil mixed into the raw chicken with the turmeric before grilling. I've been enjoying Greek yogurt with blueberries, strawberries, pistachios and honey at home - great as a breakfast item or a light dessert as Chef Andy suggested. Thanks to the chef for a fun time - we learned a lot and also enjoyed meeting the other two people who took part in the class.

Chef Andy lead our team building activity with 25 attendees and was a great leader on our pasta-making journey. Not only was the food delicious, but he gave us some wonderful tips and tricks on how to become better chefs with ease. He's a fun presence to guide a group, and I'm confident that we'll look to book with him again if we do this event another time.

What a wonderful experience!! Not only was Andy professional, fun, engaging and accommodating , but his culinary skills were outstanding! We chose the Chef's Surprise Gourmet Italian Fare as our "cuisine" and Andy did NOT disappoint! He maneuvered around our kitchen as if he'd been there before, provided an enticing explanation of each course, and with dessert, encouraged us to torch our own amazing creme brulee. We cannot recommend Andy highly enough!!

Highly recommend this fun and informative class! The Chef kept the class lively, comfortably walking us through the preparation while imparting fundamental skills along the way. I learned a lot and laughed a lot! We had a good group with 6 participants helped by two chefs. Food was yummy, and the BYOB meant good champagne for me! Class started and ended on time. I left feeling pleasantly full of both food and knowledge. I could make all these dishes again and feel confident.

Chef Andy and his sous chef :) are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We LOVED our introductory pasta-making class and cannot wait to try to make our own â€“ tools already purchased. The experience was exactly what is advertised with a little real-world kitchen humor and fun. We would 100% recommend him for personal cheffing, and future classes. We are 100% looking forward to seeing them again soon!

Kelly D.

04/13/2023

We loved Chef Andy's class! It was our first time making pasta, and he made it such a fun and enjoyable experience while teaching us a ton along the way. We made two different types of pasta and the result was a hearty and delicious dinner. Chef Andy was a great teacher and also gave us time to work on our own and gain confidence using the pasta maker. The more intimate setting with a small class was the perfect way to learn and socialize at the same time. Thanks so much, Andy!

We had an amazing time with Chef Andy for our Pasta Dough Principles team building! What a great culinary experience! Chef was engaging, friendly, attentive and fun! It was a great combo of learning proper techniques and laughing at the same time. The pasta dinner was delicious and cooking it together and gathering to eat it was such a fun bonding experience! I would highly recommend Chef Andy and his offerings!

An awesome experience. Andy was very professional and fun. The perfect mix. Extremely hospitable as well. Couldn't say enough nice things about him and the experience overall. The fish was delicious and his humor and knowledge made a good night become a great night

Chef Andy's sushi making class exceeded expectations. I've only attempted to make sushi one other time early on in the pandemic to develop new hobbies/skills and failed. Knowing what I know now from Chef Andy (and Chef Emily), I'm ready to give it another shot! Chef taught us basic knife handling skills, tested our palates, and, of course, how to make a simply delicous maki roll. Early on in our class, it was evident to us that Chef Andy is really dedicated to his craft; which was nothing short of passionate and made the entire experience immersive and all the more enjoyable. Chef's apartment provided all of us with plenty of room and the atmosphere was most comforting. Thank you for teaching us what to look for when we order sushi at restaurants, how to tell what sushi grade fish is, and for recommending the types of knives to buy without breaking the bank. We certainly look forward to signing up for future classes to dive into other cuisines. Thank you for everything!

Chef Andy's sushi class was fun, delicious, & informational. He's extremely knowledgeable about ingredients, techniques, & the food he's making, & I definitely left with a heightened appreciation of sushi & cooking. I would definitely do another class with him!

Anya S.

03/16/2023

Such a great experience! Loved the sushi class, this was a great birthday gift. Chef Andy was very welcoming and attentive, he found the perfect balance between explaining/demonstrating and having us try cutting and rolling the sushi. I especially appreciated that Chef Andy was open to questions and was deeply knowledgeable on all the food related topics we were interested in. We each got to make our own roll and nigiri, as well as tried quite a bit of sashimi. Left with new information and new skills! The atmosphere is cozy and the group size of 4 was perfect.

Chef Andy was wonderful! I booked this class for my boyfriend's birthday and we absolutely loved our experience! From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by chef Andy and his wife who helped out and made the night all the more meaningful. Another couple joined us in the class and it was great having extra company and getting to know them. Highly recommend this event as a gift with a loved one! Will be coming back for sushi making with Chef Andy! Thank you!!!

Troy A.

03/05/2023

Chef Andy is very entertaining and personable. He did a great job of explaining the techniques as we worked our way through the meal. I believe anyone can feel confident using those techniques in their own kitchen after taking a class with Chef Andy

Michael Z.

03/05/2023

This was a great Friday night activity that was a nice change up from the typical dinner and a drink. Chef Andy is a very personable and down to earth person. The class is meant to be interactive and once we and the others participated it was a great time. Andy is clearly knowledgable and experienced, making the class very useful. We learned not only about sushi and how to make the rolls themselves, but also some knife skills and suggestions of how to find the best fish in the city. The class is also BYOB which is a cool perk and saves you some dough. All in all, it was a fantastic time. My girl and I will definitely be booking a class with Chef Andy again and next time will book the whole class with friends. Highly recommend!

Chef Andy gave us a great culinary experience! It was not only excellent instruction in cooking homemade pasta but he was also very engaging, attentive, and did a great job of having the group bond together. It was a great combination of technical cooking and entertainment. Also, it was awesome that he offered 2 pastas dishes in lieu of a dessert as my biggest interest was learning to cook not necessarily having a "complete" meal

carter m.

02/16/2023

Chef Andy was very friendly, knowledgable and engaging, He makes you feel right at home and you truly get the full experience. Our pasta was excellent and he taught us with ease. I will definitely be looking for another one of his classes.

Chef Andy was a pleasure to cook with. Andy and his wife are exceptionally down to earth. Cooking felt authentic rather than robotic. I would 100% do this again with Andy.

Jill S.

The class at Chef Andy's was inspired, fun and loaded with nuggets to upgrade our skills. Hubby and I have a few skills, and he didn't miss a beat to make sure we all had takeaways from the class. I am food restricted and he accommodated perfectly. HIs sous chef Emily is top notch too. Warm, pleasant. Our meals were a perfect valentine to each other. Highly recommend.

Katherine G.

02/03/2023

I didnâ€™t realize this would be at chefs house but thatâ€™s probably bc I didnâ€™t read the information. Being at his house, which was clean and cozy, it was like more personal experience. Heâ€™s very knowledgeable.

Cameron O.

02/01/2023

Very fun class. Anybody intimidated by trying to cook Chinese food at home should try this class. It's surprisingly simple but delicious and Chef Andy makes it a lot of fun to learn. It was a great date night for my partner and I! Highly recommend as the winter nights are cold and it's the perfect thing to do to get out of the house and still enjoy a home cooked meal.

Karen L.

01/17/2023

Awesome experience with Chef Andy! We did the class as a Christmas present for 2 kids, ages 9 and 10. Chef Andy simultaneously engaged with 2 kids and 3 adults in a way where everyone learned new techniques and had fun together. In particular, Chef Andy taught us all knife skills tailored to each person's level. The kids also explored sushi and were able to create rolls they enjoyed based on their individual taste preferences. They also loved making the crepes and even had enough left for a special breakfast the next day. A very fun evening and would definitely do it again!

Wonderful! We had a fantastic time celebrating my birthday with Chef Andy, his beautiful Assistant (and spouse) Emily along with my adult kids and their significant other! Warm, welcoming environment in Chef Andy's home with delicious food preparation (and learned so much!) We made pasta from scratch along with creating appetizers and our own tasty sauces. 2 of our guests had special food requirements and Chef Andy handled those with no problem. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to have a fun time!

Katherine C.

01/09/2023

I purchased a Pasta Dough Principles class as a Christmas present for my husband. It was a class of 8 at Andy's place, which is kind of nerve-racking, but he and his partner were very kind and professional, as was the rest of the class. We took a moment to introduce ourselves, got right to cooking, and had some laughs. They directed us every step of the way. They were thorough and patient. Most importantly, the food was delicious. Overall, a fun experience!

Cassie .

Chef Andy was fantastic and our group had a wonderful time experiencing the Pizza-making course. Chef Andy was very personable and funny. He made it easy for our professional, corporate team of 8 to let our walls down and enjoy ourselves. Chef Andy identified who had experience and who did not, and paired us accordingly. It was a great opportunity to not only learn culinary skills, but also to bond with our colleagues. The course had an array of nice ingredients. and Chef Andy walked us through the techniques and skills we would need to prepare the ingredients and make the pizza. Though a fun course, Chef Andy made safety a top priority as he taught us basic knife and culinary skills. Chef Andy's sous chef was also very well prepared and kind to our whole group. They made us feel comfortable to ask questions and have fun. The venue and demo kitchen were well equipped and suited for this course. We would certainly do a cooking course with Chef Andy again, and will be recommending his courses to our department for future outings! Thank you Chef Andy!

Cameron O.

12/09/2022

Chef Andy's class was not only informative and helped me hone some of my knife skills, but also a lot of fun and a great way to spend an evening if you enjoy cooking or trying new things. He's a great host with a lot of knowledge about food and sushi, and his passion really stands out among chefs. I will likely be going to another of his classes and bringing others to enjoy. And of course the best part, my personally made sushi was delicious!

Oviya S.

11/12/2022

Chef Andy was an absolute delight to work with! I booked the class for my boyfriendâ€™s birthday and it certainly was one of the best decisions ever! He not only taught us how to cook the Mexican spread but also gave us a glimpse of his family traditions by sharing how his grandma and mother cook. He was super fun to work with and we really appreciated our time together! 100% recommend! :)

Lainey C.

11/07/2022

Chef Andy and his team was great to work with! We had 30 people in to celebrate an 80th birthday party and Chef Andy did a great job with accommodating a variety of food allergies, while creating an excellent surprise box meal - he even made a special birthday cake or our Pipa! I would highly recommend Chef Andy for a corporate or family event.

This well thought out experience sets the bar extremely high for any future bookings with Cozy Meal. Chef Andy and his wonderful wife were absolutely amazing. You notice right from the start they are both genuine authentic people who really want you to leave with knowledge and skills you will use for life. Chef Andy was extremely attentive & patient. You can easily tell he gets enjoyment from seeing his students succeed. I plan on booking another experience with Chef Andy. I would highly recommend this class.

Chef Andy hosted my team for a group event, and we had a great time! We regularly do different group activities, and the vegan taco / mango margarita class was a big hit. The recipes were accessible, Chef Andy taught us pro tips along the way, and the tortillas are the best I've ever eaten! I would recommend taking a class from Chef Andy anytime ?

Carly R.

Chef Andy was fantastic! Each course was delicious and plated beautifully. He and his sous chef were very prompt and paced the coursing nicely. We had a Spanish-inspired meal but would definitely use him again for a different cuisine!

Such a cute and wonderful experience! I really recommend this to anyone who wants to make delicious cooking accessible! Chef Andy is very kind, considerate, and funny. He's really good at welcoming guests to his home and providing a really warm and cozy experience. It's hard to make pasta from scratch and make it delicious but Andy breaks down all the difficult steps and makes it easy for you to do it on your own after. This was such a fun night for me and my guest and we're already planning to book our next class!

Grace M.

My boyfriend and I traveled down from Milwaukee to come to chef Andyâ€™s class. This class exceeded our expectations in every way! Andy was very professional but still personal. Andy let us be independent enough but still was an excellent teacher and answered any questions we had. The food turned out delicious. We had a gift card from Christmas and this was such a good gift to receive and was SUCH a fun date night! It was worth traveling from Milwaukee. We cannot say enough good things about Andy and his class!!

What a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE we had! Our Exec Team from across North America had their 2nd annual in person meeting in Chicago and rather then go for a traditional 'dinner' I chose to let them engage in a friendly cooking competition. We had a blast. Andy and his team were engaging, witty, and amazing hosts. Highly recommend, a five star experience for sure. Andy accommodated our guests with food restrictions, everyone left with full bellies and big smiles! Thank you Andy, I know a few members on our team will be back!

My girlfriend and I received a Cozymeal class for Christmas and chose to do our session with Chef Andy.

We had such a wonderful night full of jokes, good vibes and great food. Chef Andy was super attentive to our needs and made the experience of home cooking easy and comfortable. The venue was beautiful, the kitchen was well stocked and the dining area struck the perfect balance of romantic and cozy. We learned a lot about knife handling and how to properly appreciate the different flavors that go into a meal. All of the ingredients were fresh and we left stuffed and with leftovers! 10/10 would recommend!

Chef Andy is the best! I booked his pasta making class as a Christmas present for my mom, and we couldnâ€™t be happier. His recipes were simple enough to recreate on our own, but the pasta and sauces were all absolutely delicious. We had a blast and canâ€™t wait to book another class with chef Andy soonâ€™

Jordan B.

01/30/2022

We had an absolute BLAST with Chef Andy! He was fun, professional, and we learned so much. He started by bringing all necessary supplies and getting comfortable in our kitchen - there was zero judgment on what our kitchen looked like, what we normally cooked with, or anything like that. By using our home cookware and appliances, we learned all sorts of skills to make repeating this meal accessible in the future! Some highlights: - Andy taught us multiple ways to stretch dough - He taught us different types of crusts and flatbreads - He made everything seem affordable: told us where to find ingredients, was flexible with what types of flour and pans we used, and didn't push us to need "fancy" brands or specialty tools - If we made a mistake, he showed us how to fix it and improve - Everyone got to get their hands in! - We had leftovers for DAYS! Thanks again to Andy for being such a joy - and thanks to your sous chef for the spotless kitchen when you left! We've already recommended Andy to several family members and friends, and we hope to book another class soon.

Lauren J.

01/28/2022

Chef Andy (and his lovely assistant) did a wonderful job making this experience special! I purchased this experience for my boyfriend, who loves to cook and has been talking about wanting to learn more techniques and tricks. We both had an amazing time learning about the history of the dishes we were preparing as well as the "science" behind cooking. Chef Andy and his assistant provided all the necessary utensils/tools needed to prepare the meal, and cleaned the kitchen once we were done with the experience! BONUS: we had more than enough for leftovers. I couldn't recommend this experience enough, and we'll definitely be booking with Chef Andy in the future!

He was very pleasant to be around, made us feel comfortable and provided so much value whether it was the teaching us how to make the sushi, educating us on the history, techniques and even helping clean up after! We're definitely going to cook with Andy again, and are sure to recommend his classes to anyone interested. Thanks! -Ben&Sam

Had fun while learning great new technique on sushi making. Bought this as a Christmas present and would recommend to anyone looking for a unique gift for any occasion. Andy was easy to talk to and provided great tips. Can't wait for our next class!

Chef Andy went above and beyond what I expected! He was so great prior to our event in answering all of my questions, and I felt so prepared going in to my first in person event of COVID. We had a team of about 21 people, and Chef Andy was attentive to every single person, and we loved every second! The team had such a wonderful time rolling pasta, and I know everyone wants to try it again at home. We will definitely continue to support CozyMeal and specifically Chef Andy in the new year. Highly recommend this event for anyone!

Hands down one of the BEST meals I have ever had! Chef Andy & his soul Chef Emily were AMAZING! This experience was a birthday gift for my boyfriend and chef Andy did NOT dissapoint! Iâ€™m a vegetarian and my boyfriend is a meat eater, he was able to create a menu where all dietary needs were met and I cannot even explain HOW GOOD IT WAS. His mole sauce is out of this world along with his amazing hot chocolate and conchas. If you havenâ€™t tried this yet, you need to! Thank you again Chef Andy!

Had a WONDERFUL sushi experience with Chef Andy! He was very knowledgeable on food history as well as cooking techniques. He is easy to talk to and keeps the class fun and interesting. I definitely feel that I could take what he taught me in the class and create sushi on my own! Will be booking again

Chef Andy was excellent! This was our first private cooking class, and my husband and I enjoyed it. Chef Andy was very knowledgeable and highly skilled. He taught us basics and advanced cooking skills, we had fun and the Chinese food was delicious. We were able to repeat the recipes later that week and the food was very good. Chef Andy had the kindest and most helpful assistant too.

Chef Andy & his sous chef/fiancÃ©e were fantastic and exceeded all expectations we couldâ€™ve possibly had. My fiancÃ©e loved making her own pasta for the first time and I learned a ton from knife skills to making two different sauces. Chef Andy was well versed when it came to making a variety of different pastas as well as the history of these dishes and ingredients. We would 100% have them back and would highly recommend Chef Andy for any of your occasions.

Chef Andy and his assistant were great!! We put music on and got to work. He was very informative while teaching us how to properly cut and cook and we had lots of fun! We loved the fun facts and overall vibe. We enjoyed a fresh and delicious dinner. Definitely recommend it!

Andyâ€™s sushi class exceeded our expectations! You wonâ€™t leave hungry. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and so fun! The fish is high quality and so fresh. Our group was visiting out of town, and everyone said this was the highlight of the trip. We would definitely recommend him to anyone!!!

Roberto D.

08/07/2021

We hosted Chef Andy for a couples date and it was an amazing experience. Not only Chef Andy is extremely knowledgeable and help us demystify some recipes, he is also very comfortable by hosting his class and extremely fun. We learned and did the work, while still able to join a fun night among friends. We will definitely host Chef Andy more times.

Danielle G.

07/25/2021

I booked Chef Andy for the Sushi Adventure for my husbands birthday. This experience was beyond our expectations! Chef Andy was funny, knowledgeable, and taught us some history behind the food! And of course the food was delicious! Would 100% recommend!

Mr P.

07/07/2021

Great personality and fun class to learn in. We cook steak and empanadas. Andy and his assistant also cleaned as we cooked so there was little to no mess after we enjoyed our meal. Good experience. I would highly recommend.

Chef Andy was great! Highly recommend for a fun date night. Great conversation and loves to teach and educate as you go along.

What a great class. Fun, interesting and Chef Andy kept the pace steady but easy to follow. We loved the pizzas we made and learned some new kitchen tips that we'll be able to use for the future. We had a great time and highly recommend this class.

Kathy C.

04/11/2021

This was our second class with Chef Andy and it was awesome! He ensures what your making is tasty, something you can make on your own after his class and entertaining! The egg rolls were the best we have ever had and the fried rice was delicious! This is a must take class and both adults and children will enjoy the tasty food you make! Look forward to our third class with you at some point Chef Andy! You are amazing!

Words canâ€™t describe how fun this experience was. Chef Andy was AMAZING & very personable - super nice. My friends and I canâ€™t stop talking about it. I canâ€™t recommend him enough, if youâ€™re on the edge about booking this. THIS IS YOUR SIGN! Worth every dollar.

Chef Andy made everyone feel very comfortable with their cooking skills, or lack off! He is very personable and professional. I highly recommend him, and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.

Andy was awesome - the sushi was delicious, the class was really helpful, and he was really friendly and professional. It was a really fun night!

I had booked 'Sushi Adventures' for our anniversary night with Chef Suarez in March 2019. Chef Suarez was communicative and arrived on time. He has a great sense of humor which made us very comfortable with him early on. He walked us through each step of the sushi making process and made it fun and simple. Needless to say that not only sushi turned out great but I also learned great techniques from him. I can never forget the great experience we had. I would recommend this to anyone reading this review.

Johanna N.

05/06/2019

Chef Andy was awesome! We had the best time cooking with him. He was prompt, professional and so skilled. We will absolutely be booking him again!

Rebecca M.

09/13/2018

We had a great experience with Chef Andy and his assistant. From the booking process to the actual class everything was very professional. Chef Andy arrived on time and ready to start with everything we needed to cook our meal . We loved actually being able to utilize our own kitchen and learn tips and tricks along the way to make our space the most efficient. Chef Andy was extremely knowledgable as well, he took the time to answer any questions and just made sure we were learning and having fun. I have taken quite a few cooking classes at different places around the city and have to say that this class was one of the best with lots of hands on and one on one attention. My husband enjoyed the class as well and we all shared quite a few laughs especially when Chef Andy called out my husband on using his favorite kitchen utensil ( a rice spatula --which he uses for cooking EVERYTHING). Thank you Chef Andy for helping me break that bad habit. HAHA!! Thank you also to your sweet assistant. We definitely will be looking forward to taking more classes with you.

Booked the Flatbread Galore class and learned a lot with Chef Andy. He was very accommodating and is a wealth of knowledge about cooking techniques and tips. I found him very professional even though the set up was informal in our home. The class was both interesting and fun. Would definitely book another class with Chef Andy.

Daniel J.

Great class! Chef Andy made it fun and easy!

Ryan K.

What a fun and unique birthday gift for my sushi loving girlfriend! Chef Andy is very personable and knowledgeable in sushi, knife techniques and just cooking in general. He explains every step and let you try it yourself before stepping in if you need some help. Highly recommend him!

Cari P.

08/01/2020

What a wonderful experience! Today, my 12 yo son and I took Chef Andy's pizza class. This is exactly what we needed. What a great way to spend time with my kiddo (during quarantine), drag him away from his video games, and do something that we could learn together. Chef Andy was engaging, and made us feel very comfortable -- my kiddo was nervous to do this online, but quickly got comfortable and jumped right in to practice his knife skills. I'm now looking to see what else we can take. Could be great fun with the grandparents too!! Thanks so much, Chef!

Claire H.

07/24/2020

Really enjoyed Andy's pizza class. My husband and I have struggled in the past to make the perfect pizza base but after taking this class we have finally mastered it. Andy's techniques were excellent and easy to follow.

Janalee D.

06/30/2020

We took this class once we first noticed Cozymeal's online classes. Since that time, we have remade this over and over. Highly recommend this class. The results are better than most take outs and with a little preparation could be ready just as quickly.

Tracy

06/05/2020

Andy was awesome. Very personable, energetic. He made pizza-making seem quite easy and fast; learned something new for sure!

John

06/05/2020

He was nice, friendly and informative. I would have preferred to have gone over hand stretching out the pizza thinner to get the window pane effect on the dough, but on writing this I'm realizing that would have probably led to a lot of students ending up patching holes in their dough, and as it was everyone had a successful pizza. I think the level of techniques he was showing was appropriate for the mixed group of students. We had a great time, and he was accommodating to all the variations people were making (gluten free, couldn't source yeast, store bought dough etc)

Michael

Andy was great! Thanks for the informative class this afternoon! - Mike

We decided to do this live virtual class with chef Andy. We were in 4 households and all of us really enjoyed the class! After the class, Chef Andy agreed to let us stay to visit with each other in a more casual way. The Asian Dumplings were delicious and we will certainly make them again. I highly recommend this activity as a way for families and friends to get together during this time of social distancing!

Ann A.

Went with a group from the office and had a great time. And, delicious food that we made ourselves. Chef Andy was very helpful and a great teacher. Mary

Chef Andy was great! He was personable, energetic, patient and overall a good teacher. My girlfriend and I loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone looking try something a little bit different. We will absolutely look to re-hiring him for future events.

Kathryn E A.

01/07/2020

Chef Andy made learning to make sushi a lot of fun! He was good at demonstrating how to use the knives properly and then stepped back to observe my grandson using them without interference. But he gave him a â€˜phone-a-friendâ€™ option if he needed it! We really enjoyed our class and I highly recommend Chef Andy!!

Alex S.

01/05/2020

Chef Andy offered a great date night for my girlfriend and I. He was very personable, and made us feel comfortable throughout the evening (even as we messed everything up). Taught not only how to make sushi, but recipes, history, and techniques. Awesome experience and look forward to booking Andy again soon.

Debbie L.

12/27/2019

This class was so much fun. I gave it to my teen son for Christmas and he loved it. We both learned a lot and Andy is just great--passionate about food, friendly, personable and a joy to make sushi with! I highly recommend this experience.

Lisa B.

12/13/2019

Wow, Andy was amazing! If we could give him 6 stars or more, we would. Andy coordinated the perfect at-home anniversary dinner for my boyfriend and I (Mexican themed!). We made tortillas, tacos, elote, and flan-- plus he accommodated to our allergies when the original menu had shrimp. Andy was kind, on time, fun, and very talented. We learned so many tips and tricks that we'll be using moving forward and overall just had a blast! Thanks Andy :)

Paige M.

12/03/2019

Chef Andy was absolutely wonderful, fun, and personable! He made the sushi process easy and understandable for all levels. He really was a wealth of information regarding the sushi making process and other cooking techniques. I highly recommend him!

BEST TEAM BUILDING EVENT EVER! ...and Chef Andy was the reason it exceeded expectations. If you are looking for a place to get together, have a cocktail/soda, talk and bond as a team, learn some laid back cooking technique, and have an event that the whole group is talking about afterwards, THIS SHOUD BE YOUR CHOICE! We had a group of 13 for a corporate team building event, at the Wicker Park Inn venue (which is also ADORABLE!), a quick 15 min Uber from downtown. Our team did the Spanish Paella menu, but honestly I am not sure the menu choice matters much, as the experience of being there and entertainment/conversation/personality Chef Andy provides makes the whole event. Easy platform for communication, Chef Andy is incredibly responsive, even tailored our menu to dietary needs. 110% recommended.

Beth S.

10/18/2019

Chef Andy was fantastic! Personable, fun, informative. We really enjoyed our team building event!! HIGHLY recommend this type of event and Chef Andy if you are looking for a great team experience!!

Alexine M.

09/16/2019

Chef Andy was so much fun! Easy to learn from and allowed us to have fun and not take things too seriously. The creamy fettuccini was delicious! Would definitely recommend this for a girlsâ€™ night or cool date night activity!

Alex D.

09/10/2019

I booked Chef Andy for an anniversary night meal and he made it one to remember. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled and shared his love for cooking throughout every step of the night. The food tasted great and the 2 hours seemed to speed by. I would 100% recommend Chef Andy and will be booking him again the future!

Scott B.

08/31/2019

Chef Andy couldnâ€™t have been more professional, yet relaxed and friendly. It was truly an unforgettable experience and would highly recommend to anyone considering.

Terry J.

08/24/2019

Chef Andy is the best. One of the best experiences Iâ€™ve ever had cooking. I highly recommend that you choose him as you cook, you will not regret it!!!

PETER W.

08/22/2019

Chef Andy and Ryan exceeded all expectations! I took a group of clients that couldn't have been more pleased. We made pasta and salad and from the minute we walked in Chef Andy made everyone feel comfortable. He was very helpful and explained everything we did in a way we could all understand and the end result was a fantastic meal and night. Highest recommendation for Chef Andy's class, I hope to hire him again

Janet G.

07/14/2019

What a wonderful experience! We learned a lot - making the flatbread dough, prepping the ingredients, arranging different toppings, and using fresh herbs - even expert slicing techniques! Fun, delicious, and insightful - we had a great time!

Karoline Anne B.

06/30/2019

I hired Chef Andy as a surprise birthday gift for my husband who likes to cook. Amazing! We learned a lot and the sushi was delicious (we made it!) Andy knows his craft, is super professional and really Fun! I recommended chef Andy to everyone that is looking for an amazing and unique experience.

Ethan J.

05/11/2019

Chef Andy was friendly, knowledge and the class was fun and informative. Would definitely recommend and is a good alternative to a typical sushi night out!

We had an amazing time with Chef Andy for my husband's birthday! He was so knowledgeable and we all learned a lot plus the food was delicious! We want to do many more classes with him!

Ashley R.

04/26/2019

Used Cozymeal & Chef Andy for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. I thought it would be a fun and unique experience - even more so than the usual cooking class with a bunch of other people. I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations! We had an amazing time learning and cooking with Chef Andy. He taught us some simple tricks for presentation and knife skills as well as cleaning and using our cast iron skillet correctly. The price is comparable to going to an upscale restaurant, however the experience is one you definitely won't forget. I HIGHLY recommend this for a date night, special occasion, family get together, or girls night. My boyfriend told me this was one of the best birthday gifts he's ever received. I will definitely be using them again and I've already told all my friends about Cozymeal!

Craig L.

03/18/2019

Chef Andy was great! We had him come to our house for the Chinese Takeout experience and learned how to make potstickers, fried rice, and kiwi pineapple smoothies. He was a great instructor who ensured we learned how to do each technique properly and the food turned out amazing!

Emily U.

03/14/2019

I had a wonderful experience with Chef Andy! I purchased the Pasta Dough Principals as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and it turned out be such an awesome experience! Chef Andy was prepared with everything we needed to make our delicious meal and taught us great skills that we (hopefully) won't forget! But, what my boyfriend and I loved most about cooking with Chef Andy were the conversations we had that made it seem like we weren't cooking with a chef we paid, but just cooking with a friend!

Kelly M.

02/03/2019

Our Pasta Dough Principles class with Chef Andy was wonderful! Chose this as a birthday surprise experience for my boyfriend and it was a very memorable night. Chef Andy and his girlfriend / assistant arrived right on time and were fun and informative. He was truly professional, and learning how to make pasta in our own kitchen with our own tools made us feel confident that we could do it on our own. Loved not only the recipes at hand but additional cooking tips as we went, and that they left our kitchen as clean as they found it. The food was INCREDIBLE. Recommending to friends!

Lexi S.

01/21/2019

I am 50 years old and learned for the first time how to hold a chopping knife correctly, very informative, very friendly, enjoyed his knowledge and his company, will be taking more cooking classes

Lexi S.

Chef Andy was wonderful! I bought a sushi making class for my momâ€™s birthday and she loved it. He was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and a great teacher. Would highly recommend him for any class!

Daphnie O.

01/04/2019

Chef Andy was awesome!!! He came on time, ready to teach us with a great personalityï¼Œvery friendly and down to earth! He taught us so many great tips and tricks, I wish we took this class a long time ago! The class was so much fun with a relaxed, social vibe! The steak and chimichurri was delicious!!! Chef Andy was also really great in contacting me beforehand, and responding to my messages/ questions promptly. I am very happy we took his class - my husband had a great birthday!!! :) We definitely will refer this to our friends and take more classes in the future! Thanks again!!

We had a great evening with Chef Andy making pasta from scratch (which required his excellent instruction) and enjoying the resulting mealâ€”all while conversing on every topic imaginable. He had everything well organized and adapted to our smallish kitchen without difficulty. Thanks again for a wonderful time...

Gwen S.

07/11/2018

Great class! I learned how to make pasta and, other helpful kitchen and cooking tips!

03/27/2018

Chef Andy was wonderful, he really went above and beyond. He was patient and accommodating amidst distractions in our home. We had the best time and learned so much, I canâ€™t wait to make pasta from scratch on my own!

tiffany T.

03/11/2018

I surprised my boyfriend with a private cooking class for the two of us with Chef Andy. He came to our place for the Argentinian steak night meal. Everything was great - the food, experience, and Chef Andy. I would highly recommend this. Andy was knowledgeable, fun, and professional. Itâ€™s an entertaining and different thing to do.

Karen B.

03/05/2018

Chef Andy and his sous chef Adrianna made the whole experience informative and great fun. We would recommend them to anyone and are already discussing our next culinary adventure. We would be thrilled to have them back.

Zak Y.

07/07/2017

Does the thought of making maki rolls and nigiri at home excite you? What about the secrets to a beautiful flan? Chef Andy makes it all fun and easy to learn! Full of energy as well as knowledgeable about food--this young chef will teach you how to turn an ordinary strawberry into a cool rose for garnishes, and even educate you on edible flowers and fresh herbs [he actually grows them at home!]. If you're looking for a fun evening, you don't want to miss this class.

Meena M.

04/12/2026

It was terrible. Chef could not explain any step other than instructions. The base of pizza never got cooked. She said she forgot to calibrate the oven. It was total waste of time & money

Gloria

06/10/2020

Class went too fast, hard to follow. On top of that, chef was keep asking to present my work by calling out each name. I was still working on it, my hands were not clean to interact with laptop. Also, I have a small kitchen. Need to clean as I go, but there was no time for that. That atmosphere was very stressful.

Adriana

05/18/2017

Andy was exceptional!!! We asked him to develop an appetizer party for me and a few friends. He picked 4 appetizers and divided us in groups of 2. He demonstrated a demo on each appetizer and guided everyone through the whole process. I would highly recommend Andy for any cooking parties or cooking classes. We are definitely booking him from now on. Best experienced I have had. We learned a lot about other food as well. He was very knowledgeable about different types of food and techniques. I am going to take a pasta class with him for sure. He is well rounded In the food industry and a great chef instructor.
