Great meal with Chef John. Chef brought all items needed for the meal including the pots and pans. We cooked together, with his mentorship and guidance of course. Sorry no pics we ate the meal as soon as each course was ready. We cooked way more then what a normal couple could eat in one sitting. Tons of leftovers. Absolutely a great experience. We will be requesting Chef John again.

Chef John was great. His years of experience in hospitality and catering in NYC and DC give him a leg up - his food was delicious and his demos were fun and informative!

ZERO stars! My entire experience with John was completely unprofessional. He never showed up or contacted me to say that he wouldn't be coming. Leading up to the class John was very unresponsive. I asked a few questions, & it took him DAYS to respond. He only responded after I followed up a second time. One of my specific questions was if there were any preparations that I needed to make to my kitchen for the class. He failed to even address that question at all. The day of the class, I called & texted him once he didn't show up on time as well as sent him a message through Cozy Meal, he never responded to any attempts to communicate with him. Today, the day after the class, I was notified by customer service at Cozy Meal that he was involved in a car accident that was the reason for this absence. Neither the chef nor Cozy Meal notified me that the class would be cancelled. I understand things happen, but there is no excuse for someone not contacting me. I didn’t hear from anyone until I reached out this morning when they opened requesting a full refund. My choice to book John for my friend's birthday celebration was a huge mistake, & him not showing up completely ruined everything. I would have been more understanding had someone notified that there was an issue. Save your time & money book with another chef.
