Overall great experience! The recipe was really delicious, better than I expected. The instructor made the ice cream and I was hoping that weвЂ™d learn that part - as I knew how to cook everything else. A good time nonetheless!

Chef Janet was wonderful! She came to our house for a for a family class in Dim Sum and we had a great time, especially our 6 year old granddaughter. We learned a lot and appreciate that she was willing to teach all of us. Looking forward to scheduling again!

We LOVED Chef Rakhi's Anglo-Indian class! She is so kind and informative- very talented chef! She is so welcoming and her kitchen is beautiful. The class was very collaborative and fun! She shared so many helpful tips and tricks that we will be able to use while cooking! Highly recommend taking any of her classes!

We had SO much fun with Janet! She taught us a lot, was really kind and had great convo, and the food was delicious! She also left us absolutely nothing to clean up afterwards. We would absolutely book again. It was a great choice for my husbandвЂ™s bday.

Chef Janet was AWESOME! Booked her Dim Sum class for my 2 year anniversary. She comes with everything you could need (you need to supply nothing but a stove and microwave!) and then takes home all of the dirty pots and pans - no clean up was a lovely surprise. She is funny and great to talk to. Oh and most importantly, the food was delicious!

Our time with Chef Janet was nothing short of wonderful. It was a delightful experience to cook, converse, and create a wonderful memory with her. She was also very accommodating regarding potential dietary restrictions and made to share lots of useful techniques that could be used in our own cooking ventures. Please do yourself a favor and take one of her classes! You wonвЂ™t regret it!

Alex was awesome! We did a couples class and learned how to make cacio e pepe. It was one of the best pasta dishes we've ever had! The recipe was super easy to follow, and he showed us many tips and tricks along the way. Alex was super easy to get along with and talk to, and he made the whole experience enjoyable. He really exceeded expectations, would highly recommend!

Chef David was AWESOME!! We had such a great time. And David's sarcastic humor was top notch...and his cooking skills aren't bad either :-P Kidding...he was a great teacher, and very relaxed with so many things happening at once. Any level of cooking skill would do great in this class...and probably any class that is taught by David. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Chef Andy and his wife Emily were very lovely and generous for opening up their home! The Argentinian Steak night was unbelievable experience and the quality of food was top notch. Pair that with your own favorite red wine and you will have a night to remember! 5/5 recommend!

Chef Rakhi is personable, knowledgeable, and professional. Her house is beautiful and very welcoming. Chef Rakhi provided us with a fun evening and an incredible meal. We absolutely loved everything on the menu. Best of all, everyone in our group feels confident that we can recreate the meals in our own homes due to Chef Rakhi's excellent instructions and recipes.

We had an amazing experience with Chef Alex! he was well prepared, experienced, and knowledgeable. He explained every step of the process and let us try it ourselves to help us learn hand on. Finally, and most importantly, the pasta was delicious. I would recommend him 100%.

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!

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!

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 Scott was amazing! My fiance and I had an amazing night learning how to make pizza. Parking near our building is not easy and Scott found a spot with ease. The night was great and Scott also gave us his recommendations for restaurants in Chicago. We are looking forward to many more amazing pizzas to come! We are also now huge fans of Cozymeal and are considering which classes to take next.

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.

Chef Nick was absolutely amazing! From the moment he came into the door he fit right in with my partner and I. HeвЂ™s incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and we couldnвЂ™t recommend him enough. The food was spectacular and he turned a steak non-believer into a steak lover. If youвЂ™re seeking to have a lovely date night we would highly recommend chef Nick!

Really enjoyed my experience cooking at DavidвЂ™s class. Went with my partner and had a great time learning cutting/cooking techniques. Cooked a delicious three course meal: bruschetta, Brussels sprouts salad, Chorizo paella, and almond cake. After cooking, we all sat down at a big table to eat with other class participants; family style. Had a great time talking to others and getting to know each other. It was comfy, intimate, and cozy, exactly what you would expect from a cooking class. David was personable and charming, what a great teacher. Thanks for a wonderful class.

Chef Janet was excellent from start to finish! She created a fun and engaging experience, guiding us through the preparation of a wonderful meal with plenty of laughs along the way. Her instructions were clear, making it easy to learn new techniques while enjoying the process. Not only was the food delicious, but she also left my kitchen spotlessвЂ”like she had never even been there. I highly recommend Chef Janet for an amazing experience!

Evan A.

Janet was fantastic! We had such a fun time learning the art of pasta/ravioli making with her. She comes well prepared with everything (including pots/pans you name it) and her culinary knowledge is exceptional. HIGHLY recommend using Chef Janet you will not regret it. She also went above and beyond to assist in some modifications for dietary restrictions. :)

Chef Janet was awesome! All of the food was so good, better than I've had in restaurants (Dim Sum). Janet was incredibly nice, instructive and great conversation. I would not have expected I'd be a semi-pro potsticker folder in such a short period of time, cooking is not my strong suit! I got this experience for my partner as a gift and she was so stoked. We would definitely do another cooking experience with Janet!

Justin S.

Chef Janet delivered a fantastic private dim sum cooking class! Her clear instructions and hands-on teaching style made the experience both educational and fun. She expertly explained each technique while keeping the atmosphere light with great conversation. The dim sum we prepared was delicious, and we learned how to recreate everything at home. Chef Janet maintained perfect cleanliness throughout and left the kitchen spotless. Her professionalism, combined with her warm personality, made for an outstanding cooking experience. Pros: - Expert instruction - Delicious results - Great conversation - Spotless cleanup - Fun atmosphere Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning dim sum cooking!

Janet was great! She showed up on time, brought everything she would need for the night, and cleaned up everything after! She was kind and very helpful throughout the cooking process. The entire experience lasted slight over 2 hours. I would highly recommend Janet for your Cozymeal experience!
