We had a great time cooking with Erin. Everything was so good! We also learned some fun techniques too! She was super friendly and welcoming and Christmas tree and decorations were so pretty! We recommend learning from Erin if you get a chance.

My wife and I have always wanted to do cooking classes together, but with Covid it made it extremely difficult to find a class that checked all of our boxes. So, we did Cozymeal on a whim and we can attest that we were very surprised by just how much we loved this date night! We owe all of it to Chef Erin. She makes the entire experience with her warm welcome and keeps you laughing the entire night. She takes the work out of cooking and makes it memorable. Not to mention, the Salmon Wellington is by far one of the best things Iâ€™ve ever had! This is definitely one of the best dates we have ever been on and will absolutely be back again and again.

Chef Erin was amazing and very personable. This was our first experience up close with a chef and we would definitely do it again, it was a blast. She was very detailed and easy to understand and willing to work with you at whatever pace you needed. Loved the experience and will be recommending it to family and friends.

Erin was a blast. From the get go we all hit it off with her. She became a quick friend. We were all so comfortable with her, asking questions and she was so helpful to give us feedback on things we cook all the time at home and have questions for. She was very personable and enjoyable. The food was so delicious and even though it was fancy, it was so manageable to cook! She really does a great job of making sure that this is something you can do in your own home. It was so tasty and we just had a ball. Would love to go back and hangout with her again and learn some more about cooking. Would highly recommend Erin for any occasion. Go there ready to connect and make a friend. After all, cooking is about bringing people together and that's what she did. Food for the win!

Our team had a wonderful time with Chef Erin. She was engaging, and she accommodated a couple of food allergies among our guests to everyone could enjoy the meal. Her home is absolutely lovely, too, with a beautiful outdoor enclosed garden area where a glass of wine could be enjoyed while things were in the oven! Highly recommend!

Chef Erin is the best!! She was so welcoming, joyful and just an absolute pleasure to be around. She made my team and I feel right at home from the start! Her enthusiasm and energy throughout the entire class was phenomenal. She taught us how to cook the most amazing food and was accommodating to all of our questions and requests. She made everyone feel engaged and taught us so many useful things during our class. We rate her 5plus stars and will definitely be attending another class in the future. I highly recommend signing up for a class and enjoying the wonderful experience that Chef Erin provides!!

Our experience was above my expectation. Chef went out of her way to accommodate a menu with no cheese. The Wellington Salmon was delicious. Chef is very entertaining, warm and friendly. I would certainly recommend her to anyone.

A surprise date night from my husband left me speechless. What an incredible and personalized experience delivered by our chef, Erin. A truly bubbly and inviting personality with friendly conversation over wine, laughs and great food. Our menu was curated just for us, lactose free. I was impressed by Erinâ€™s knowledge and little tips here and there. To start, an artichoke dip leading into the main course ribeye with asparagus, corn and wild rice. Our favorite though? The cookies for dessert. Melty caramel with pecans and chocolate chips YUM! I loved this one on one, more intimate experience so much more than other cooking classes where we are in bigger groups. Her house was super clean, she was relatable and made us comfortable even though I was shy and introvert in the beginning. She made cooking fun and easy to learn. Thank you so much, Erin!

In a word, Erin was amazing. The class is in her home and from start to finish she walks you thru the three course meal. We didnâ€™t know what to expect but the menu and her execution was top notch. Not only did we leave full and extremely happy with the food, but we are confident we could reproduce it. We highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking to shake it up and do something other than just dinner out.

This was such a fun evening! Thank you Chef Erin, for sharing your skill at cooking, your knowledge and your great storytelling skills with us. Everything was top notch and the four of us agree that we look forward to doing it again soon.

Brenda

23 Mar 2021

Excellent experience. Erin is engaging and really knows her stuff. We learned a lot from her: No special appliances or exotic ingredients required. She starts with quality ingredients and strives for no more than 5 ingredients in any given dish. Stuffed mushrooms, grilled asparagus with hollandaise, cherry tomatoes sweated in butter, outstanding steak and then a strawberry in Belgian chocolate. Highly recommended. LC & Brenda

Chef Erin was incredible! I bought this experience as a Christmas gift for my mom and aunt. They came back with so many great stories of all the fun they had with Erin. They said it truly felt like they had known her for years and they were just cooking with an old friend. Such an incredible experience with an incredible chef making incredible food. Six stars!

Chef Erin is the epitome of a gracious host. It was our wedding anniversary and we wanted to celebrate by doing something we both enjoyed. Chef Erin opened her home and her heart to us. She helped make our celebration wonderful and memorable. I highly recommend Chef Erin to anybody interested in learning to cook from an executive chef. Chef Erin has an extensive culinary background and was gracious to share her experiences with us. Highly recommended.

Jaclyn

Chef Erin was such a great host. It felt like we were cooking with friends. We learned some great tips and I love that everything was cooked using everyday appliances so we can replicate it at home. All the food was so tasty and it was great being able to eat a restaurant quality meal in the casual setting of a home. We can't wait to do this again and will 100% choose Chef Erin again. Def one of our favorite date nights! We had so many laughs!

Jason

25 Jul 2021

My wife and I don't get date nights away from the kiddos very often, so we wanted to do something a little different to mix things up a bit. Let me very clear - we haven't had this much fun in years! Chef Erin was personable, relatable, charming and sharp witted. She welcomed us into her lovely home and we instantly felt like we'd come to visit an old friend. Our meal was phenomenal and our experience even better. Our three hours flew by, and we left Chef Erin's home with our stomachs full and our hearts even fuller. Can't wait to do this again, and I can't recommend her enough.

Connie

20 Jun 2021

It was a completely unexpected & enjoyable evening. Chef Erin has a great personality & quickly put us at ease in her lovely home. She had plenty of interesting stories to relate about her experiences on â€œChoppedâ€ & â€œTop Chefâ€. And all while preparing a delicious 3-course meal with perfectly cooked 2â€ thick filets. You could be as involved in the cooking as you wanted to be or stand back & simply observe. We are already planning a return visit.

We had a fantastic evening. We went to Chef Erin's beautiful home where she made us feel very welcome and at ease! Everything was ready for us, including aprons! Not only is she a gifted chef with her own restaurants, she was a true hostess. Of course we had great food, 5-star restaurant quality, but it felt like hanging out with a dear friend in her kitchen. Which it sort of was. I would highly recommend the Cozymeal experience, but Chef Erin in particular. We would most definitely do this again.

There is simply not enough space here to write about the most wonderful experience we had tonight. I was hesitant to book thinking a â€œchefâ€ will be uptight and this wonâ€™t be a great experience and let me tell YOU boy was I wrong!!! The food was phenomenal and better than any restaurant weâ€™ve been to but the skills and personality chef Erin had was priceless to say the very least! We WILL definitely do this again but I will only ever do it with her. We LOVED her!!! Donâ€™t second guess yourself and book it! You will NOT be sorry!!!!!
