Chef Kenneth was amazing! I booked this class to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a blast. We loved everything on the menu - particularly the gnocchi. He also left us with leftovers which were greatly appreciated. Cannot recommend Chef Kenneth enough :)

Chef Ken was great-had a relaxed easygoing but professional manner. He came with everything he needed short of a blender which we provided for and assorted pots/pans. We learned a lot-and were put to work in a fun voluntary manner..our groups got their hands dirty from time to time but Ken also cooked/kept things moving forward as we were also catching up while watching/learning. I was impressed by the time saving use of the blender and various shortcuts learned to save time/effort that provided delicious results! Chef Ken taught us how easy some of these dishes were to make-incredible arancini in a marinara sauce, a fantastic Caesar salad w homemade dressing, homemade gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce, and delicious homemade cannoli w chocolate chip ricotta filling! He did a great job of passing tips and tricks along the way.. Our group learned a lot and agreed we would like to recreate some of these dishes at home again. I would recommend working w Chef Ken for your next cooking lesson/dinner party!

Chef Kenny was fantastic! We cooked an Italian meal w/ salad, arrancini, gnocci and cannoli all from scratch. Kenny was really knowledgeable, and explained a lot of little cooking tips and tricks along the way. The food was delicious, and I feel like I came out of the class a better cook.

We had such a fun experience with Chef Kenny through Cozy Meals! He taught us knife skills, how to roll sushi, and how to plan a dinner menu and cooking order. It was super interactive and we actually feel confident recreating the recipes at home. Highly recommend!

Chef Kenny was fantastic. Every dish was simple yet delicious. I particularly loved the pot stickers and the dessert: coconut cream with tapioca and diced melon. I learned a ton of little cooking tips and tricks that I'll begin to incorporate into my own cooking. I never knew there were right- and left-handed knives, but now I do! He also had a great sense of humor. It was a pleasure cooking with him and I would love to work with him again.

Modern New American Cuisine

It was so amazing having Trev Kenneth Cook for my group and I I was expecting it to be nice because of the special occasion, but I wasn't expecting to have truly delicious unique recipes that just wowed me with every bite!! if Kenneth himself were a restaurant I would want to go back over and over. Plus, he was so cool and flexible about the unique programming of my party. It was really great having you over and would definitely book again!!
