Cooking Class - Authentic Italian Comfort Fare

Sarah

Chef Malik knocked it out of the park with our Valentine's Day evening of Authentic Italian Fare! We learned SO much about the science behind the foods we were cooking, the history of some of are favorite dishes (we'll never make Caesar Salad in anything but a wooden bowl again!), and about culinary techniques. Everything was delicious - especially his Alfredo sauce! We'd recommend Chef Malik and Cozymeal to all our friends and family. We have a modest kitchen in a junior one bedroom apartment but he made transitions between courses seamless. We appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into making this night special.

A+ effort! We have quite a few allergies (Soy, dairy, egg, nuts, seafood) and Chef Malik was able to work around all of those, which was impressive to say the least. He was enjoyable to learn from and provided us with a lot of good tips. Due to our many allergies he was able to stay long to help make it work - he even cleaned the kitchen for us, big plus! This class was truly a memory we will carry with us for years. Thanks Chef Malik!

This was my first experience with a cooking class and it was amazing! Chef Malik and Sheila were both great. They arrived on time, remained professional and provided the unique experience I was looking for. As someone who cooks often, I wasn’t sure I would learn anything but I was wrong. Chef Malik taught us some great new techniques I can’t wait to use and his personal spice blends are absolutely delicious. Everyone enjoyed the food and the memories we made will definitely be remembered for many years to come. Thanks, Chef Malik!

Chef Malik is amazing! I booked this dinner experience for my person's birthday. My person and I both had a great time, and it was memorable for us. I didn't completely know what to expect, but you don't have to hesitate to book Chef Malik for special occasions. He was timely and professional. The food was great and equally as important to me, Chef Malik and his assistant were enjoyable to be around. It felt comfortable and safe hosting such an experience in a place I call home. I wanted a fun, intimate experience for my person that included learning to make dishes from scratch and us being full by the end of the night, and Chef Malik did not disappoint! I will always make pasta from scratch from now on!

The Chef Malik Italian Experience is one for the books. Chef Malik walks you step by step to create an Italian meal from scratch and explains the origin of the ingredients and how they evolved. Will definitely book again!

Chef Malik was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. The fresh seafood feast was even better than anticipated. His homemade ice cream truly is the best! Would absolutely recommend and are planning to book another cooking experience with him in the future!

Chef Malik was very personable! He obviously enjoys his craft. Chef Malik is very knowledgeable and my sister and I learned a lot about the food we prepared and the safe preparation of the food. I provided a tip to Chef Malik that evening hence no tip is selected on this survey. I would recommend others to give Chef Malik and Cozymeal a try.

Chef Malik is pure Baltimore. He is down to earth and knows his way around a kitchen, not to mention a spice rack. His dishes are as accessible and approachable as he is. Nothing crazy. Nothing unexpected. My impression, of him and of his food, is that the time you spend with each will go by quickly. Chef Malik doesn't hide anything and his dishes don't as well. Just don't ask him about his spice mixes. Those are not spoken about. :-)

Had an amazing time with Chef Malik! He was extremely nice and took his time to explain the prep process! He was very professional yet made us fell more at home with his approach! Thanks Chef for a memorable night!

I had Chef Malik cater my wedding for me and I was totally impressed with the service and the food was absolutely excellent. He arrived early and setup and was ready to serve as planned. His staff was professional, the serving dishes were classy, and (once more) the food was great. I know of two of my family members that used him and reported that they were just as pleased. I will surely use On Point again.

When I go into a restaurant, I have to spend at least five minutes asking questions about the menu because I am gluten and lectin sensitive. To celebrate my birthday, I decided to look for a personal chef who was willing and able to prepare a scrumptious meal for someone who was gluten and lectin sensitive. Chef Malik Anderson exceeded all my expectations. He prepared a seafood meal consisting of shrimp, scallops and crab meat, cauliflower rice, lectin reduced tomato sauce and steamed broccoli with carrots. The meal was awesome, delicious, amazing! My husband who usually does not like seafood enjoyed THIS meal! On Point Personal Chef and Catering was definitely On Point!

Choosing On Point Personal Chef was a GREAT decision. From our first communication Chef Malik was extremely responsive and very professional. He advised me of what services he provided and ask a ton of questions to make sure he could give the me outstanding service that I was looking for. On top of that we had great conversation and you immediately know that he is a good person!!! In terms of food, I can't say enough good things. Chef Malik came to my home and cooked meals that tasted like I was in a 5 star restaurant. I'm actually looking forward to getting home tonight to eat some more. :) I have a family of 4 and with both my wife and I working we have limited time to cook so we will be using this service going forward on a weekly basis. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.... If you don't believe me give it a try... You will be hooked. Lastly, and most people will want to know this..... Yes, it is very affordable. I am a Finance guy, and while my family and I live a comfortable life I look at every dime spent. When I looked at the numbers of what I was spending on groceries, daily lunch, and eating out I'm actually now saving money by using this service. Win/Win!!!! Thanks so much Chef Malik, you have just saved me time, money and also made my wife very happy... :)

What can I begin to say about Chef Malik and his business? From start to finish, his service was superb, professional, and on-time. I had a private dinner party for my boyfriend and invited our friends over. Chef Malik and his assistant arrived before the time he stated, set up the food preparation, and started the cooking well before my guests arrived. He and his assistant were prepared, clean, and professional at all times. The menu was a four-course menu: 1) curry chicken cucumber cups 2) Caesar salad with homemade croutons 3) Stuffed flounder with crab and imperial on top; roasted red potatoes; asparagus 4) homemade rice pudding He gave me the option to purchase the food needed. He sent me two emails - the first email to confirm what we discussed from menu to service and the second email was the shopping list. He served my guests and clean the kitchen afterward. Any leftover ingredients, they put in storage bags and put in my refrigerator. I HIGHLY recommend Chef Malik and his business for any culinary needs- private dinner, large events, personal delivery and whatever else involving food service and consumption. I WILL definitely be using his business again.
