Dona was wonderful!!!!! My family recently attended a cooking class, and it was an unforgettable experience! Dona, the chef, was absolutely wonderful. Her warm and engaging attitude made it easy for our children to participate and truly enjoy the experience. She had a unique way of making everyone feel comfortable and involved, regardless of their age or cooking skills. The food we prepared was simply delicious. Each dish was a delightful blend of flavors, and Dona's guidance ensured that even the youngest daughter could contribute meaningfully. It was heartwarming to see our kids so excited and proud of the meals they helped create. This cooking class was more than just a learning experience; it was a bonding opportunity for our family. We laughed, learned, and created memories that we will cherish. We can't wait to share this wonderful experience with all our friends and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and educational family activity. It is highly recommended

Chef Ivan and his team did such a great job in setting this event up, and our team had so much fun. Chef Ivan took all of our dietary preferences and allergies into account and created a super tasty and easy to use ingredients table. Their feedback when judging our dishes was also accurate and hilarious - one group undercooked their chicken, and the Chefs made it known haha! We'll definitely book another team event.

We had a great time learning how to make fresh pasta. Chef Ivan and Chef Nora were great teachers. The class had 16 people in it, but it didn't feel like that many as we were split into different rooms. We all got a chance to make everything, from the doughs to the different shaped pastas, even some improved knife skills! Everything was super clean and the food we made was delicious. It was also great that they sent us home with the leftovers. I had a fantastic time, and would highly recommend this class.

My sister and I had a great time. We learned great tips such as how to best use a knife and to make basic rice. The settings to learn and eat our meal were clean and beautiful. Chef Ivan was patient and pleasant. He managed our time well. We all got a chance to try all of the skills and preps. At the end, he even packed up our leftovers for us. We left very full and happy.

Booked Mastering Knife Skills with Chef Ivan in NYC (test)
Great class! It's a good balance of time spent doing each part of the meal prep and actually practicing some knife skills. Don't expect a bootcamp on knife cutting, but you get 15-25 or so minutes to practice, can ask for assistance, and get some quality advice/tips/tricks to take home and hone in your knife skills. If you have a good group, it's a great time. The instructor was super friendly/helpful and I'd definitely recommend the class.

Chef Ivan lead a fun experience for us in a great space. It was an awesome way to kick off a girlfriends weekend. We all had a great time and learned new cooking techniques, new knife skills and new recipes . He worked with us on a completely vegetarian meal and was flexible about the start time. He was careful about allergies. The recipes were all doable at home. The salad with avacado dressing was especially phenomenal. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is that despite a couple follow-ups, I am STILL waiting for one of the recipes (the portobello mushrooms - which were my favorite!) over a week later. I’ve done several cooking classes and this is the first one I’ve done where hard copies were not handed to me there, and where I did not get electronic copies right away. Otherwise I would have given five stars.

It was a fun event to do with my team, as we got to bond while making food, and bond while enjoying our dinner at the very end. I also like how Chef Ivan was very courteous the entire time, and even though we stayed past the 3 hour mark, he showed no signs of trying to kick us out (we were taking our time enjoying the BYOB with the food).

This was our first time taking a cooking class, and the experience and food were both excellent from start to finish. Chef Ivan has the talent and personality to make the the 3-hour class useful and relatable from novice to experienced cooks. We really couldn't think of any way in which Ivan could have made this experience more enjoyable and delicious. We are planning on signing up for another class with him soon. Trust us, this is well worth your time and money!

This experience was very much worth it. It was truly hands on and engaging. Everyone got their aprons on and hands in the mix, literally! I went with my partner, and we had a class with 2 other couples, and 2 solo individuals, making the class size 8, which is perfect--I wouldn't recommend any more than that. Chef Ivan was very patient with each of us, he gave an excellent overview of what we'd be doing for the session, and explained cooking terms and tips expertly. The dining experience was also nice and cozy. We ran a bit out of time at the end, only because our group was so chatty! The only thing I wished for was to see how the salmon was prepared at the end, although he had walked us through the process already. Great experience, and I highly recommend to anyone, whether for a couple's bonding, friend's gathering, or team building. Excellent experience, and excellent food. The best part is, we could sit down eating at the table and proudly say that we created that!

Quaint, well-explained, hands-on class (Italian Cuisine). While I expected the cooking class to be very “commercial and or school-like†because of what I watch on tv, this was the opposite. The class of 6, at his studio, made it feel like you were cooking at home amongst friends. Everything was well explained and variations were discussed so that we could personalize the entrees if we wanted to. Chef Ivan was great and would recommend to others most definitely.

Chef Ivan may be great and the classes fun, but our family of 5 had an unexpected event with our old dog the morning we were to attend our class and Cozymeal wouldn't even give us a credit for the five of us ($449) to use for another class. Chef Ivan also never responded, which the company indicated chefs can do and make their own arrangements. We will never book with this company again.

Overall the experience was very disappointing for my team. We only get to do team events once every two months, and had saved up two events worth of budget to do this. The chef didn’t seem to have much patience for people to learn, which we think is a big part of the experience. Sometimes the way she communicated directions or feedback was quite passive-aggressive (good directions but phrased in a slightly negative way). A lot of people felt like it wasn’t as much of a cooking class, but more of a cutting/chopping class. We would have loved to be more hands-on but instead the chef did a bunch of the work. There was also a helper there who cleaned everything and prepped some of the kitchen, who the chef never acknowledged, which we thought was strange/rude. The food tasted good though.

Booked Missy Meier & Guests: A Tour of Classic Italian Dishes with Chef Ivan in NYC (test)
The food was OK- I've had better in cooking classes. I would not go to this class again.

Booked Fresh Pasta 101 with Chef Ivan in NYC (test)
Disappointing end to a great class. Chef Ivan was very informative and an excellent teacher during the class. We enjoyed the class and meal very much. Our disappointment came a week after when we realized we had not been emailed the recipes we were promised.

Booked Field to Fork with Chef Ivan in NYC (test)
The ched was very knowledgeable and the facility was top knotch. My problem was that the menu was all adapted by a non vegan. The appetizer was great but the other courses fell flat. Pasta was mediocre, “meat†balls were dry and I have had much better vegan cheesecake. I will not be booking through Cosymeal again. If I ate meat, I am sure I would appreciate everything the chef has to offer but there are much better vegan cooking classes in nyc

Booked Four Courses From Argentina with Chef Ivan in NYC (test)
did not get to make it to my reservation. My review is on cozy meal and not Ivan but I don’t want to mess up his ratings, so I didn’t want to give him a 1. But I would give the company a 1 and would not reccomend cozy meal to anyone. Find another cooking class!
