What a fun and unique experience!! Highly recommend this for a date night! Chef Dean was so prepared and organized which made the class flow so smoothly. He is truly an expert in his craft and I left the class feeling like I had learned a lot of valuable information! He really went above and beyond adding a couple extra dishes, a nice table setting with personalized menus and enough leftovers for lunch the next day! I would love to take another class with him!

The experience was absolutely wonderful. Chef Dean was welcoming, helpful and so friendly. It was almost surreal to have a private experience with such a revered local chef (he has framed newspaper and magazine clippings from his restaurant days on his walls). Our experience was hands-on, with Chef Dean guiding us through dumpling folds and pan flips. He was patient and helpful as we learned many new skills. The little touches (custom printed menus, modifications for my allergy, beautiful table arrangements) instantly elevated the evening. For a first Cozymeal experience, Chef Dean set the bar very high. We have already started to browse more classes that he and other local chefs offer.
