WHAT YOU’LL DO
Explore the ingredients and flavors that make cuisine in the south of France so stunning.
Chef Cregg knows that being a good cook is about more than following recipes; it's really all about technique. In this interactive cooking class, you'll handcraft four traditional French recipes completely from scratch.
Learn all about the south of France and it's rustic cuisine as you prepare a crisp salad of haricots verts, shallots, mustard and tarragon. Then, make fried potato puffs with mushrooms, and a peppery brandy sauce for your pan-seared steak. End with a French classic for dessert: Crêpes with an orange reduction.
Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

We had an incredible experience with Chef Cregg, who masterfully guided our group of 10 colleagues on a culinary journey through the flavors of Southern France. The industrial kitchen was laid out perfectly, creating both a professional and welcoming atmosphere where we could interact, learn, and cook together. Chef Cregg did a fantastic job educating us on different techniques and recipes while keeping the session engaging and fun. The BYOB option added a nice touch, allowing everyone to bring a variety of beverages to complement the dishes we prepared. The highlight, of course, was enjoying the delicious food we created under Chef Cregg’s guidance. Thank you, Chef Cregg, for an unforgettable evening of learning, cooking, and camaraderie!

Chef Cregg taught us basic knife skills, kitchen safety tips, & walked us through every dish. Prep & cooking took 2 hours, chef brought everything needed, pots pans, ingredients, etc. Clean up was another hour. Chef Cregg is an amazing instructor, very down to earth, & the sweetest! He made this an experience we won’t soon forget. It felt like we were just cooking with a friend.

Chef Cregg was AMAZING! He was so kind and patient and his energy was incredible. He brought everything we needed and cleaned up the WHOLE kitchen - wow. Not to mention the food was amazing!! We’ll definitely be booking another class. Thank you, Chef!

Such an amazing experience! Chef Cregg was kind and knowledgeable, brought all the ingredients including special substitutions for my dietary restrictions. It was not only a fabulous meal but we learned how to make a number of dishes. While we ate he did the clean up and then dished the dessert. Why hadn’t I found Cozymeal sooner? Such a fun experience and I highly recommend Chef Cregg!

We had a fantastic time with Chef Cregg. He is very knowledgable, a great teacher and excellent chef. We preferred to have a cooking demonstration instead of a cooking class and he was very accommodating. Highly recommended!
Sara F.
Thank you Chef Cregg for a wonderful team building cooking class. We were early to the class as parking was surprisingly easy, but Chef was ready for us. The class was exciting, very informative and incredibly delicious. All 11 of us got plenty of hands on cooking time, tons of tips, knife safety skills and Chef Cregg worked hard at increasing our perception of various ingredients (fresh herbs, dried mushrooms etc). The meal at the end was exquisite. We were very satisfied! 5 stars, would take the class again!

Chef Cregg is the real deal. He has a strong background as a chef and he’s a great teacher. It’s rare to find both! His space has a cool warehouse conversion-type vibe. The equipment we used was pretty basic, which makes it more likely that we’ll be able to replicate the techniques at home. With that said, this was a busy lesson with lessons learned around every corner. Definitely need to bring some energy to get the most out of it.

We joined Chef Cregg for an advanced class although we are beginners. Chef adapted and took the time to first re-explained a bunch of basics such as knives holding and slicing (vegetables, meat, etc). Everything was setup in advance (materials, ingredients) so we can focus on the prep and cooking and we had 1 station each with plenty of space. Chef would show us the expectations, teaches us techniques (ex: how to use the different robots and tools) and I loved that he let us do everything.
My BF and I really enjoyed the experience, the food turned out great and we had leftovers :P
Highly recommend Chef Cregg and his Southern France menu!

Lovely experience at Chef Cregg's unique and artsy space in Oakland. As others have said, his lessons are packed with practical and actionable tidbits and he's an experienced teacher, sharing his knowledge and expertise in a way that anyone, from the novice to the experienced, can learn something new to take home. You can sense his creative side in every part of his studio space, full of interesting details, every tool ever needed, and funky music to make the evening special. At first glance, the menu might seem simple, but don't be fooled: this is truly a special dinner, with delicious flavors, surprise ingredients (luxurious ones, too), and using all kinds of expert techniques. It's a meal you are going to want to replicate for someone special in your life. We were a bit slow on the cooking, so we only got eating by the time our session should have been done. The result is that we gobbled everything up super quickly (wish we had had a bit more time to relax, but we also had a babysitter waiting). So while you should bring an appetite, I'd suggest eating a light snack before coming so that you aren't like us, trying to eat everything as we were making it. We enjoyed our time at Chef Cregg's and highly recommend this experience!
Pearl O.
An enjoyable experience for my friend and me. Chef Cregg was super-knowledgeable, professional, patient, and positive. Loved the menu he chose for this class and learned a lot of extra tips from him while preparing and cooking the food. Would definitely like to take more classes with Chef Cregg in the future!

I had such an amazing experience at this cooking class! We had so much fun and learned so many new skills. The hand sushi rolls and spring rolls were my favorite, and I can’t wait to recreate them at home. The chef was incredible—so knowledgeable, full of great energy, and made the whole class enjoyable from start to finish. I’ll definitely be booking another class soon!
