Everyone's reviews has been on point. Chef Aaron was great, hospitable, friendly, patient, knowledgeable, gracious, professional, personable, and everything else you want to have from a Chef and a teacher. We are no where close from being good cooks, but our food turned out amazing. That's credit to the teacher. We will definitely have another class with him. Thank you!!!

We had a great cooking experience with Chef Aaron. In addition to teaching us how to prepare and cook delicious paella and a tasty honey mustard balsamic salad dressing, we were introduced to his chickens and had a chance to tour his garden, where he picked fresh vegetables and herbs for our class. Chef Aaron is delightful, with a good sense of humor and a passion for cooking. Since Halloween is next week, we were also treated to pumpkin macarons prepared by Chef Aaron that were scrumptious. Thanks for the extremely enjoyable, instructive, and delicious experience.

We booked through CozyMeal a week in advance, and our group (of 12) had an amazing time with Chef Aaron. They were all raving about it the following day. Aaron, thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for our team! We highly recommend him and will keep him on our list for team building activities in the future.

Wow! What an experience. Chef Aaron was super professional, knowledgeable, and inviting! The kitchen is perfectly set up to entertain and provides a warm and relaxed environment to learn! I have zero complaints! We chose the sushi class and it's a bit more technical, but with his advice he had all of us making rolls like pros by the end of it.

Chef Aaron gave us a cooking experience we’ll never forget. He was very patient and instructive with how to make the dish, and we appreciated the reasoning behind the different preparation steps. The food itself was outstanding, and each course of the meal provided an even more salivating experience. We were even more grateful to bring home leftovers of the paella and tapas. Thank you again Chef Aaron!

What an amazing experience we had with Chef Aaron! My husband and I had a private lesson at the chef's home learning how to make a seafood paella, which was absolutely delicious! Aaron had everything set up and ready to go before we arrived... great space for both dining and learning. The lesson allowed us to be very hands-on, and Chef Aaron was so patient in answering my many, many, many questions. The meal included jamon & manchego tapas, a spanish-style salad, seafood paella (complete with chorizo, mussels and shrimp), and we finished things off with a creme caramel flan. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend a night learning with Chef Aaron... we can't wait to book another class!

Amazing experience. 2nd time with Chef Aaron. Cozy home and kitchen. Awesome host. Interacted so well with friends. This might be the best Pasta I’ve had in the US. And the best pesto anywhere! The budino dessert and the salad are to die for. My gosh. Keep up the awesome work Aaron!

We had a great time at our pizza-making class with Aaron.
He timed everything perfectly, with just the right balance of giving us plenty to do without it being overwhelming.
He offered lots of helpful information about the how's and why's of what we were making, along with some great cooking tips and kitchen hacks.
The ingredients were super fresh: eggs from his chicken coop, herbs from the garden, excellent ingredients for the pizza and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious!
At the end of the evening, Aaron gave us PDF copies of the recipes, and we tried them a week later, with great success!
We highly recommend classes with Aaron. They are very well thought out. He's a great teacher, and the space he's created in his home is comfortable and welcoming.
We really appreciated his hospitality and knowledge, and we're looking forward to trying the pasta-making class next!

Had a great time. We are a family of 6, with some vegetarians and some not. We had so much fun with Aaron, making pasta, preparing pesto, seeing his garden and chickens... It did not feel like work at all, just relaxation, sipping wine, visiting and a bit of chopping, kneading and pasta-making! And of course we enjoyed an amazing meal at the end.
We have made pasta and pesto before, but learned so much and will definitely improve on them next time. Can't wait to get the recipes!

We booked a private event for 10 people (an office team-building activity) and had a fantastic time. The venue was charming and Chef Aaron was approachable, outgoing and informative. There was just the right balance of things for us to do and things that Chef Aaron did for us (or had prepared ahead of time) to make it feel like we were involved and learning something, but also to have time to socialize together. The food we prepared (grilled shrimp, fettuccini with cream sauce, capellini with pesto, focaccia bread, garden salad, and a dessert) was delicious.
Jon

My husband and I wanted to take a sushi-making class as part of our ten-year anniversary trip to the San Marcos area. We ended up being the only two people there for the class (it was a Friday lunch time class), and since it was on our anniversary day, that couldn't have been more perfect. We really, really enjoyed our class with Chef Aaron! He was laid back, very knowledgeable, friendly, and we covered a lot of ground in a relaxed way. The class was very hands-on; my husband and I got to do a lot of the work (the fun, rather!), which was exactly what we wanted. We got multiple attempts at actually rolling the sushi as well, not just one attempt. I also really enjoyed the place where the class took place. Lots of light, a huge wood and metal work table, and a garden out back. Chef Aaron let me take a few ripe blackberries and a passion flower from the garden. Two thumbs up for Chef Aaron and this class.

Very enjoyable session. Relaxed and interactive. Not rushed and comfortable setting.
Was like having a friend teach. Aaron has a great story and is a pleasure to visit with. Food was great and we came away with some great tips and a wonderful recipe to make with friends in the future. Will do this again when we have the opportunity.

Our sushi making class with chef Aaron was wonderful. Chef Aaron was approachable and warm. He was knowledgeable and detail oriented. We learned everything from how to make the perfect sushi rice to how to properly slice sashimi for sushi. It was my boyfriend's birthday and he was over the moon. Chef Aaron's home was intimate and artistic, the perfect place to be creative and feel at home. Thank you chef Aaron. We will definitely be back!

Salad, paella, and a divine flan, with leftovers to look forward to at home! Wonderful casual atmosphere.

This was our first experience with Cozymeal and I’m so glad we tried it. While we have some background in cooking, Chef Aaron offered so much valuable information and tricks to apply in the Kitchen. He was a very gracious host who made this experience really memorable. To top it all off the food was very flavorful and better than any restaurant we could have picked while on our trip to Austin. Highly recommend!

Chef Aaron granted my group a fantastic experience. What was most intriguing to all was that you can tell that he is just as serious about food as he is with sharing his knowledge. You could tell that he only works with the best ingredients, but his delivery of the lesion was so casual that he made the art of "making pasta" less intimidating and quite joyous. When I am back in Austin, I will be sure to join him for another class. As for the group, they couldn't stop talking about the experience and their weekend plans to make pasta. (Wish us luck!)

This experience was fantastic. Chef Aaron was so friendly and knowledgeable yet so patient in giving instructions. He gave us product suggestions and knife skill lessons. Most of all, I am now a lover of red sauce. I can’t wait to practice what I learned. And my group of colleagues can’t wait to get back to Austin to take another class with Chef Aaron! This was a great team-building experience!

My SO and I got lucky and were treated to basically a private dinner with Chef Aaron, and one in which he didn't disappoint. He was very welcoming, conversational, and generous with his culinary information and tips. I know I personally took quite a bit away from our time. The food was tremendous as well. If you're looking for a new date-night idea, or even growing your culinary knowledge in general, Chef Aaron is a great start!

My date and I had an absolutely WONDEEFUL time at Chef Aaron’s house! Chef Aaron is an absolute gem to work with and learn from. The house is immaculately clean and a terrific venue for cooking.
The pasta was amazing, and the fact that my date and I played such an integral part in making it made the night so much more enjoyable.
I can’t wait to bring her back for some of Chef Aaron’s other cooking lessons!

Chef Aaron was organized, articulate, genuine and had great tips. Our clients were invited and he made a group who did not know one another feel at home and made it fun. Pasta making was interactive with good breaks to taste and network.
The food was unbelievably delicious and fresh- herbs from his garden for the Focaccia and pesto.
He was an amazing facilitator and teacher.

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time with Chef Aaron. We loved the hands on, interactive nature of the class. It was also terrific that a number of the fresh ingredients came right from his backyard! Would 100% recommend this class. The food created from his recipes and instruction were absolutely delicious! Can't wait for our next class!

Chef Aaron takes eating local to a whole new level. In fact, you don’t need to go further than his backyard to find many of the ingredients he uses in his Mediterranean and Italian cooking. Fresh basil, ripe seasonal fruit, even eggs gathered from chickens he raises himself. In his class, expect flavor-packed paella, margherita pizza with the chewiest of mozzarella, and maybe a trip to his homemade greenhouse.
