We had a wonderful experience with Chef Federico! We could not recommend him more. We (my partner and I) went for our six year anniversary and simply had a blast. (On that note, we felt very comfortable in this class as an LGBTQ couple!)
Chef Federico was an outstanding host and extremely well prepared for our class. He had prepared and organized all the food ahead of time, so we had minimal grunt work and maximal fun. He even prepared us a number of appetizers to nibble on during the class. He was a superb teacher and gave us a number of tips. We also greatly appreciated how accommodating he was in getting us scheduled when we had limited availability.
And finally, the food was SO GOOD (buonissimo!!!!). Grazie, Chef Federico!

We booked Chef Frederico for our sister-friend’s birthday. We had a ball. Chef Frederico taught us some helpful tips for cooking at home and made (with) us a delicious meal. As a matter of fact I’m making one of the dishes tonight! And his playlist made it even more enjoyable:)

I was given this class as a gift from a relative. I have to admit I had my reservations. I thought this was not my kind of thing. Well, I was wrong.
This class or I should say, the experience was amazing. Chef Federico is a wonderful man. He was so inviting and made us feel at home at the very beginning.
Chef not only took his time explaining the recipes but also gave insight into the region and history of his food from his homeland. Seeing him explain step-by-step the process was truly delight. You can see he takes pride in his skills and culture. The food was amazing. My only complaint is, he calls his sauce, sauce. When we all know it’s gravy… haha!
All joking a slide. In the strongest terms I recommend Chef Federico‘s courses. You won’t be disappointed!

Chef Federico was friendly and welcoming. His home was warm, spacious, and clean. He is incredibly knowledgeable and did a fantastic job of splitting up the cooking tasks into small chunks so that all attendees could participate! He also provided lots of knowledge and great techniques for us to apply at the moment. Overall it was a great night and I would highly recommend his classes!

You never know what to expect when you sign up for a cooking class. Who will be there? Will it be clean? Will I get to participate? Will I learn anything? Well Federico's class checked all the boxes. He welcomed my friend and me into his home to make Gnocchi, Caponata, and this amazing strawberry dessert. He was organized and professional. The two other guests were delightful. After preparing our meal which we could now easily reproduce at home, we sat down to a lovely lunch with total strangers, had great conversation, and easily relaxed into what was offered to us. I highly recommend taking a class with Federico. I walked away with some new tips, cooking skills and a general appreciation of his cuisine.

My wife and I took Chef Federico's class for our wedding anniversary. He was very helpful with overcoming scheduling hurdles, welcomed us warmly, and had everything ready for our class including some delicious cheeses and breads to start. His facilities were impeccibly clean, his instructions were clear and fun, and the meal came out delicious! Chef Federico made us feel at home, learning his family recipes and discussing cooking techniques and trends. And as a surprise, he made us a spcial anniversary tart! We would love to take another class with him, and sign our kids up, too! An amazing and fun experience!

Chef Federico's class was outstanding. My boyfriend and I have never made these kinds of gnocchi before. Federico was very approachable and patient the entire class. He showed us the simple ingredients we could use and suitable substitutions. He showed us vegetarian Italian food can be delicious. Thank you for graciously inviting us into your home.

This was a fun experience to celebrate my sisters birthday! The six of us went out of our comfort zone and had a great time with Federico! We went to his place in South Philly and it was really easy to get to. It was Super clean, nice area, and beautiful home. We each had a station where he instructed us on how to prep our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed being with Federico as he told us his background and heritage in Italy. We brought our own wine and he provided soft drinks, it was perfect for my husband who doesn’t drink. I highly suggest the meat and cheese upgrade. It’s all from the Italian market in Philly - mouth watering just thinking about it! We got to take home the recipe to give it a try at home. Everything was so fresh and the environment was overall a great time.

Chef Federico was welcoming to us from the very start! We walked in to a clean and beautiful home, freshly prepared food to snack on, and everything organized to learn to cook delicious food together. He shared stories and chatted with us along the way.

We haven’t done much the last few years with the pandemic, so we decided to treat ourselves and go for a cooking class. Very worth it! Chef Federico was so welcoming and hospitable. In addition to the meal, he was kind enough to prepare some appetizers (the white beans and shallots??? I need a class on that in itself ?). The food was absolutely delicious… that gnocchi was *chef’s kiss* and the strawberry mousse was amazing. Thank you again for the wonderful time!

Chef Federico hosted my daughter and me for Cooking Class in his home last night. Chef Federico persistenly worked to find a convenient time to accomodate Covid and made sure we all felt welcome and safe during these extenuating circumstances. All precautions were taken, including ability to social distance, masks and gloves and plenty of hand sanitizer. He providing each of two couples with individual utensils and supplies to avoid any cross contamination . The meal of veggie appetizer, spinach gnocchi and strawberry mouse was delicious! Cant wait to make at home !

Chef Frederico was fabulous! The meal was thoughtfully planned, and absolutely phenomenal tasting! He was patient and detailed when teaching new dishes or techniques, but didn’t make us feel silly or inexperienced. He spoke about his home in Northern Italy and was fascinating to learn from!

We had a wonderful time cooking with Chef Federico making this delicious Classic Italian Fare. Chef taught us about the planning and intention behind each dish, and gave us helpful tips for experimenting with these recipes in the future. Hearty stuffed vegetables, irresistible handmade gnocchi, and heavenly strawberry mousse...what a treat!
Chef gave us some space to have our own private experience as a group, but was also there for friendly conversation and assistance when needed. We loved the experience and the food was FANTASTIC! Thank you!

The Italian cooking class with Chef Federico was a birthday gift from my children. The experience was enjoyable from the moment we entered Chef’s cozy row house. Chef greeted us with hors d’ouevres and photocopy sheets of the recipes we were to prepare. Chef expertly explained the process and highlighted the unique ingredients. He patiently guided us through the preparation of each course. The end result was a sumptuous Italian meal with my family!! Bravo Chef Federico. We will check your website for future events!!!

I signed up a friend and I for a cooking class with Federico for my friend's birthday. Before the class, Federico reached out to see if we had any dietary restrictions or allergies which I thought was quite proactive. The class itself was very intimate and enjoyable. We were able to get as hands-on as we wanted, and Federico knowledgeably answered all our questions. The food was fantastic and I feel I would be able to incorporate the dishes into my regular cooking. I would highly recommend one of Federico's classes.

Federico was very nice, easy to talk to, and made us feel at home. He greets you with snacks and you are allowed to bring alcohol. We made gnocchi with a twist (no potato) which was very good.

Estuvimos muy contentas con Federico! En primero lugar su hospitalidad, su casa muy bien puesta y muy limpia!!! Cuida mucho los detalles. Nuestro grupo de niñas de 12 años, no podÃan creer que les tuviera preparado un "brake" con carnes frÃas, fruta, refrescos, botana, etc. IncreÃble! Este fue el primer menú que hicieron, 1 de 3, y estaban encantadas con los instrumentos de trabajo, porque tenÃa el instrumento necesario para cada cosa. Un detalle que tuvo con las niñas fue que les picó la cebolla antes de que llegaran para que no "lloraran... por ser pequeñas. Les gustó mucho el menú, y lo que mas nos encantó fue el comentario de una niña que dijo: "Ahora ya me gustan las verduras!". Hasta eso logró Federico!! Esperamos que el próximo año nos vuelva a dar las clases este super chef! Mil gracias por todo!!

Our experience with Chef Federico was amazing! My girlfriend and I had such a fantastic time cooking with him and another couple. The food we made was incredible and Chef Federico is an absolute master of flavor! We would highly recommend this class, even if you are not vegetarian. The end result was so delicious, I can still remember the taste of that gnocchi over a week later. We ate, drank, laughed, and learned some new culinary skills. We'd book again in a heartbeat!

When you want to try something a bit more hands on but with all the charm of the boutique cooking classes, you would be hard pressed to find a better night out than with Chef Federico of Cozymeal. He brings a dash of Italian cuisine, the rustic charm of northern Italy and blends them together for an enjoyable night in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended. The gnocchi was to die for but this time I know how to make it myself.
Jen Z.

The event was a success!!! My entire team was thrilled with Chef Federico and the class. We were all pleasantly surprised that the team could cook (lol). Chef Federico was great to be around. He spent just enough time with each group explaining the steps needed to create the delicious recipes without being overbearing or making us feel like we didn’t know what we were doing. The pasta making portion of the class was the perfect group task as we all had our hands involved. This was absolutely the best team event.

We used the Classic Italian Bolognese event for a small company team building experience and it could not have been better. We went to the chefs place, and it was very clean and suitable for our team size. Chef Federico made sure to assign tasks so that everyone was involved. He was also very informative when it came to what we were making and why certain ingredients were being used vs others. I would highly recommend events with Chef Federico!

Chef Federico was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was very kind and helpful even with our delays and food restrictions, and made sure that everyone in our group played a part in creating our wonderful desserts. The Tiramisu, chocolate mousse, and white wine cookies were some of the best desserts I have had in my life and I look forward to doing another class with the Chef.

13 members of my team and I joined Chef Federico today for a team building event and it lived up to all that I hoped it would be! From the start, the Cozymeal representative was extremely attentive, identifying the right Chef for my event. Leading up to it, Chef Federico was extremely helpful with menu and catering to my team's needs. The day started out with a lovely cheese board as we settled in and had fun. The menu was perfect, from start to finish. Chef was extremely helpful and great to spend the day with. My team and I loved the experience.

We took the vegetarian cooking class with Chef Federico, who was very hospitable, friendly, and personable! We enjoyed cooking with him and making our fresh pasta from scratch! He responded quickly to my messages, and took dietary restrictions into highest consideration. Since the two of us in my party were the only ones in our particular class, we were even able to upgrade the dessert to a strawberry mousse, which was delightful! I highly recommend Chef Federico and guarantee you'll have a lovely experience.

I have nothing but praise for Chef Federico -- the food, his home and his demeanor. Chef helped us create a menu that would work for multiple allergies and still be delicious. He stood back and let us make a mess (and eventually a meal) and guided us along the way with great patience and warmth. The dinner came out tasty and the process was so much fun. If you have a special occasion -- birthday, bachelorette, celebration of any kind -- I highly recommend Federico's class!

Chef Federico was a wonderful host to me and my boyfriend. It was our first ever cooking class, and we are both beginners, but it could not have gone any better. Chef Federico made sure to go through each step of the cooking process thoroughly and answer any questions we had. The great conversations were definitely a bonus! I definitely will be signing up for another class of his in the future!

As a 60th birthday celebration, our group of 15 enjoyed an Italian cooking class with Chef Frederico and it was a great success. The chef was very accomodating and communicated promptly regarding any questions/concerns we had. The cooking lesson was great for both the amateur chefs and cooking novices in our group and the dinner was delicious. We would highly recommend Chef Frederico for your next team building or group event.

Federico es un super chef!! Además de lo que puse en otro review, en este menú nos encantó la combinación de rissoto con kiwi, nadie de las que fuimos lo habÃamos probado anteriormente. Lo que me encantó de Federico, fue que no a todo el rissoto le puso el kiwi, por si a alguna niña no le gustaba y como quiera lo pudiera probar. Este fue uno de los muchos detalles que tuvo Frederico con nuestro grupo de niñas de 12 años. Los tiempos muy bien llevados para cada parte del menú.

Nuestra experiencia con Federico fue increÃble! En primer lugar por ser hospitalario, su casa muy acogedora y tuvo siempre muchos detalles con nuestro grupo. A pesar de que eran niñas de 12 años, fue muy paciente y muy buen maestro. Las niñas y los adultos que las acompañamos quedamos muy contentos con la clase y todo el ambiente que ahà se dió. Los menús están muy completos y los ingredientes que utilizó de muy buena calidad. Gracias Federico!!

I loved his version of the Cuban Beef Stew Ropa Vieja. Federico loves South America and he is always looking for some new tasty dish to cook. We had the beef stew with arepas which were perfectly executed. Great food and great company. Thanks!

I know Federico sometimes cooks recipes that include fish and meat. However, a couple of weeks ago, he cooked for me a vegan dinner and it was amazing. The oven-baked acorn squash with maple syrup and cinnamon was a great idea for dessert. Five stars chef.

Risotto in north of Italy is as common as is the pasta. We eat it pretty often in my house. You can literaly use a number of different ingredients. The secret is how you cook it and the timing. Federico mix traditional Italian cuisine with new and particular ingredients. Risotto with kiwi was very original and tasty.

Last Sunday, Federico showed my husband and I how to make homemade pizza. His recipe (which includes a boiled potato in the dough) gives the pizza a kick of flavor and a fluffy texture. I loved the one with anchovies and capers and the four-cheese and red pepper flakes even more. Thank you, your pizza is always great!

Federico's desserts are great. His dishes are simple but full of flavor. I think his secret is that he uses fresh ingredients only and his moderate use of fat, like butter or cream. Thank you.
