WHAT YOU’LL DO
Young gourmets get their turn in the kitchen for a lesson in desserts!
Chef Chris gets mini cooks into the dessert spirit with this hands-on cooking class for kids. He'll show them the basics of creating some simple sweets from scratch.
With Chef Chris's guidance, kids will create a heavenly batch of chocolate and vanilla swirled cupcakes and a cookies and cream buttercream frosting to top them. Then, they'll mix their very own mint chocolate chip ice cream made with fresh milk and cream and topped with fresh whipped cream they make themselves. It's an exciting lesson for any budding cook with a sweet tooth!
A minimum of one adult is required to be in attendance per group. Adults are required to purchase tickets in addition to kids. This class is recommended for ages 5-15.

Our second class with Chef Chris was nothing short of AMAZING! Chef Chris is funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of cooking techniques. My wife and I first experienced his talent during our anniversary dinner and loved it so much that we booked him again for a birthday celebration.
He makes every moment enjoyable—teaching while keeping the atmosphere light and fun. A pro tip: bring wine and beverages because sharing is caring!
Honestly, I could go on and on, and it still wouldn’t capture how great the experience is. If you’re reading this, just book Chef Chris already—you’ll be talking about it for the rest of the year!

Authentic Coastal Flavors

We had the Authenic Coastal Flavors for the 4 of us. I cannot tell you how pleased we were the entire meal and experience. Chris was wonderful - he showed up and went right to work. Brought everything, cooked everything, served everything, cleaned up everything. He made the entire evening amazing. My husband and I had used Cozymeal before but our friends had not. They were still talking about how they can't wait to plan another event with Chris! And on top of everything else, he is really a nice guy!!

We had Caesar Salad with the most delicious homemade dressing. The homemade Fettuccine was the best I have ever had, and the lemon sorbet was perfect. Everything was perfect, I attend with my sister, and we had a wonderful time. Chef Chris shared the names of some restaurants nearby that I plan to try out, he also made me want to visit Italy asap and take a cooking class while there.

Chris was fabulous! Very personable and informative. And patient. We were preparing food from the region of Italy where my wife’s ancestors are from and Chris had spent some time there and was able to share his experiences from his time there. Overall, a great experience.
