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 :)

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.

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.

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!!

Chef Kenneth made our Taste of Japan cooking class an absolutely fantastic experience. He was fun, engaging and kept us involved from start to finish. His teaching style was clear and approachable, making it easy for us to follow along regardless of skill level.
We especially appreciated how he took the time to teach proper cooking techniques and knife skills, which made the class both enjoyable and genuinely educational. It felt like we walked away with skills we can actually use at home!
On top of that, the food we prepared was incredibly delicious and everything turned out better than we expected! Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we would highly recommend Chef Kenneth to anyone looking for a fun and informative cooking class.

Chef Kenneth was great! We live in San Antonio, TX and our nephew lives in Brooklyn, NY. We wanted to give our nephew the experience of Chef Kenneths Taste of Japan sushi cooking class for his 18th birthday. Our nephew invited 5 friends. They said Chef Kenneth was "very cool" and that it was "the best experience". Chef Kenneth taught some tricks and gave a great class. Thank you Chef! We are so proud that you made this cooking class/dinner such a memorable experience for our nephew and his friends.

Amazing Japanese cuisine class with Chef Kenneth! We learned tons of techniques from sushi to tempura to matcha tofu panacotta dessert making. Not only was the class fun and the dinner delicious, but also Chef Kenneth is an amazing conversationalist and such a positive presence that he put all of us at ease right away. He spent almost double the time with us, brought all the necessary supplies and ingredients with him, and we made enough delicious food to have lunch with friends the next day. We also found out that Chef Kenneth does private parties, works as a private chef, and can even organize corporate and team building events. I am certain this is not the last time we are cooking with Chef Kenneth. Highly recommended experience!

Signature Steak Menu
with Chef Kenneth
in Brooklyn (Downtown Brooklyn)
Chef Kenny was absolutely fantastic.
He arrived right on time and came completely prepared and organized. The entire meal felt effortless and restaurant-quality from start to finish. He prepared a fresh salad, a delicious appetizer, perfectly cooked steak, and a panna cotta with strawberry jam for dessert — every single dish was a 10/10. Truly exceptional.
Beyond the food, he was super friendly, knowledgeable, and just a pleasure to be around. Great conversation, great energy — he made the whole evening feel relaxed and special rather than formal or stiff.
And what really impressed us? He handled everything. He cleaned up, washed all the dishes and pans, packed away the leftovers, and left the kitchen spotless. It was like he was never there… except for the amazing meal we got to enjoy.
He completely knocked it out of the ballpark. We would 100% book Chef Kenny again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an elevated, stress-free dining experience at home.
