Cooking Class - Italian Culinary Travels in South Seattle

My partner and I enjoyed cooking Italian food with Chef Washington. The lesson was informative, the food was tasty, and it was very welcoming!

Cooking with Chef Washington was fun! Very personable and learned a thing or two :) Vibe is like going over to a dinner party where you get to learn to cook the meal and then eat it with some new friends you've made.

Thanks to Chefs Jane and Washington for putting together this onsite smorgasbord of Italian cuisine. We loved our time there and made sure to bring enough back to eat the next night as well! Nothing but the best regards for the experience.

We cooked an Italian meal - Risotto with shrimp, salmon, mussels, and scallops; a pork Rague, brown butter sauce with sage on spaghetti. Dessert was a panna cotta. All the food was absolutely delicious. Chef Washington was very fun to work with and did a great job of having the group introduce themselves and work together. I think it is food that I can make myself. A very fun evening!

Made a delicious meal! Risotto was my favorite. Great host and fun date night.

Chef Washington is a great teacher - makes cooking fun and very informative. Would highly recommend!

Chef Washington was very warm and welcoming, but also informative and professional while walking us through preparing an Italian dinner of seafood risotto, brown butter spaghetti with a pork belly tomato sauce. For dessert, we made a Panna Cotta. He took his time teaching us technique while also engaging us in meaningful conversation. We recommend Chef Washington’s class to anyone looking for an enjoyable, stress free, yet thorough cooking experience.

We came to Seattle on a girls trip, and looked for a cooking class. We found chef Washington and he was amazing. Our menu was Italian and it was delicious!! Chef Washington was so personable and fun. We would love to do another class someday.

Chef Washington was an incredible host and teacher! We learned so much about making risotto and other Italian dishes. We can’t wait to book again with cozymeal!

We all loved cooking the risotto! The pork ragu was a bit weird and bland. The dessert was amazing! Overall, my group had a wonderful time and loved the experience.

We had a fabulous night at Chef Washington’s home! We learned how to make seafood risotto, brown butter pasta with a short rib rue, and the most delicious pancetta. He was a great conversationalist throughout the learning process & Jane, his partner was equally as amazing/fun! We planned this date night to step out of our comfort zones but Chef Washington made us comfortable in his own home, taught us new skills, and let us take our leftovers home. Recommend to anyone seeking a new skill or activity near Seattle!

Chef Washington holds a wonderful space for cooking, with his special blend of passion and knowledge in food, education, history/cultures, and business. Not only the cooking experienced and food were amazing, we also enjoyed the intellectual conversations with Chef Washington and how down to earth he is as a human. A great experienced together!

My friend and I enjoyed our cooking lesson with Chef Washington! The flavors of the courses we made were phenomenal. We especially loved the risotto. Thank you, Chef for the great experience!

Had a great experience, amazing food. Great company, Chef was kind and walked us through all the steps. Very clean home, inviting!

Chef Washington was a wonderful host!

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying an incredible at-home Italian dining experience, and I can’t stop raving about it! From start to finish, Chef Washington brought warmth, professionalism, and authentic Italian flavors right into his kitchen. Every course was thoughtfully prepared—from seafood risotto to brown butter pasta with sage and the most decadent vanilla bean panna cotta I’ve ever had. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the aromas alone made the evening feel like a cozy night in Tuscany. Not only was the food extraordinary, but the chef’s passion for Italian cuisine truly shone through. He shared cooking tips, stories behind the dishes, and made us feel like honored guests in his own home. If you’re looking for a unique and delicious culinary experience, I wholeheartedly recommend his class. It’s more than a meal—it’s a memory you’ll savor long after the last bite.
