Chef Eric is great! He is a super nice guy and a great teacher. Our entire manicotti meal was delicious. We learned lots of great cooking tips! We would definitely recommend Chef Eric.
We had such a great time learning with Chef Eric! He has a great and patient way of making the skills easy to understand and fun to learn. It was also really nice that the meal itself was approachable for those of us who aren't so stong in the kitchen. And, of course, it doesn't hurt that the food was delicious!

Definitely recommend Chef Eric's Cozymeal classes!
Chef Eric very easy to work with, very fun, very experienced, shows skill and tips on doing things correctly during the food prep. Very patient and answers all questions. He can cook using what ever is on hand doesn’t need specialized gadgets. A true chef all the way. Appreciates flavor and texture and simple fresh ingredients. Teaches you to use your senses when cooking. Will be going back for sure. Use Chef Eric. He’s the real deal.
So much fun!!! Chef Eric was very warm and welcoming. He was a wonderful teacher with tricks to help us remember recipes and basic kitchen skills. It was very enjoyable and I highly recommend him!
I attended a private cooking class with Chef Eric. Not only did our group learn a lot we had so much fun along the way. Most importantly the food 100% delicious.
Chef Eric was awesome! I set up the class as an activity for my bachelorette weekend. He taught us how to make bruschetta, manicotti, and strawberry granitas from scratch.

Chef Eric was great! The event was fantastic and everyone had a wonderful time. Chef Eric did a little trivia at the end and gave out a small prize to the winner!
Eric was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the dishes we created. He explained the science behind the techniques and ingredient combinations so we could take that knowledge home and use it for ourselves. He was also very friendly and welcoming.

My wife and I did a cooking class as a date night with Chef Eric and it was amazing. Eric shared a ton of information and made it a great night. The food was fun to make and tasted awesome.
Super fun girls night idea! Chef Eric was very friendly and very patient when teaching our group who had zero cooking experience. I would definitely recommend this as a fun gift idea :)

Great hands-on learning for our group of 6. Eric was informative and interactive with everyone and the food was great. Enjoyable evening and would recommend for couples or groups of friends/family.
He was very knowledgeable yet friendly. I feel I can now make these dishes confidently on my own. I also liked being in his kitchen, which is where cooking should be learned.
Eric welcomed us into his home and taught a very well planned Sim Sum class. The food was delicious and We feel as though we could replicate it in our own homes.
Chef Eric was very fun, and taught us how to make delicious food. We’ve tried making similar dishes at home before with little luck, but after this experience we’ll be pros in no time ;)
