Wonderful! I'm a foodie, but have only basic experience in cooking. Chef Bahr was unfailing patient and good-humored, and took time to explain each step and technique. As for the menu, it was not only tantalizing to read, but proved absolutely delicious! This was my birthday gift, and I was so happy with the whole experience-thank you!!

A wonderful experience start to finish for a birthday gift. Chef Bahr had the right mix of hospitality, demonstration, hands-on participation by us, appealing/accessible menu, inviting atmosphere. His colleagues were very helpful too. The dishes turned out as delicious and ample as we could imagine. He set the agenda early and stuck to it. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to create a memorable experience for themselves or others. MT

Chef Bahr was the perfect combination of host and instructor. Clearly explained and demonstrated everything while encouraging a fun atmosphere. Great venue for a beautiful late summer evening with windows/doors open, would be cozy in cold weather. Techniques learned will be useful in the future. He also discussed different varieties of oysters, types of fish to use for the various recipes, how to choose an oyster shucking knife, what to look for when buying fresh seafood, etc. Took "Handling Fresh Seafood" and will take another class soon.

A great time was had by all! We learned a lot, ate a lot and met new friends. What more could you ask for? Thank you Chef Bahr, you were a wonderful teacher, witty and charming. Can't wait to see you next year when we return to NYC!

I had a great time with my first Cozymeal and cooking class with Chef Bahr! The chef was knowledgeable, patient and had a great sense of humor. We learned to make chocolate custard shuck oysters, sliced fresh raw Branzino fish for carpaccio, made Salmon poke, and watched how Chef Bar prepared paella before it went to the oven for us to share a perfect end to the night. Chef Bahr was personable and made us feel welcome. Since it was a small group (of 7) prepping at one table, it allowed us to be intimate and it was just like having friends over at your home, cooking, and having great conversations over wine and beer. (ItвЂ™s BYOB! Although you can get drinks at the bar). Great vibe and energy amongst the group. The class on was hand-ons and we learned a lot of helpful tips and tricks on handling seafood, food shopping and we all shared our love of food and favorites eats around the city. The recipes were easy to follow. The food was fresh, delicious and plenty for everyone вЂ“ we practically licked everything off the plate! With the time allotted, the class was well organized вЂ“ we created a 5-course meal in 3 hours and we got to eat it! And best of all it was a relaxed experience вЂ“ no pressure to rush through and to finish on time. In fact, we lingered after just chatting and friending each other on Facebook! I came alone and had a memorable experience. And of course itвЂ™s great for dates and having fun with a friend. I canвЂ™t wait to get those recipes from Chef Bahr! Thank you!

Was a great teacher and provided a nice atmosphere for total strangers to come together and collaboratively cook and learn together in a fun environment - oh yeah and the recipes and food we produced were great too! Well done chef thanks!

Chef Bahr is a fantastic host chef, offering a relaxed and open kitchen lesson within a cozy setting. Questions can be asked at any time and Chef Bahr's tips from sourcing the freshest seafood down to slicing techniques were all highly valued. My confidence in attempting different seafood recipes at a top tier restaurant quality has increased immensely. Looking forward to the next Cozymeal experience!
