We had a wonderful night with Ched Mark! My husband and I, recently exploring the world without meat and dairy, thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make this meat-free Bolognese sauce. Chef Mark was super accommodating with our annoying vegan restrictions and offered great information on how to incorporate flavor into our cooking. His house is beautiful and very inviting. Truly an unforgettable experience!

We had a great time Cooking with Chef Mark! We felt welcome and comfortable as soon as we walked in the door and as we began to talk and get to know him, in short time we just felt like we were visiting a friend for dinner. The food was delicious and his presentation about what he prepared, how he prepared it and the tips and tricks he offered about cooking, including hands on instruction, made for an enjoyable AND informative evening. We'll definitely plan to keep an eye out for other opportunities for cooking with Chef Mark.

Chef Mark was so nice and welcomed us into his beautiful home. He had beverages waiting and was so excited when greeting myself and the group of people I was with. He explained the recipe with ease and the dishes prepared were delicious!!! This was my first experience with Cozymeal and I’m so happy I chose Chef Mark. Ready to plan my next cooking class.

The food was excellent! There were four of us, and it took all four of us to keep up with the directions! Once we got the hang of it - we were golden. I think it would have helped if we had a better idea of the plan; we could have been more ready to make the dips and know that the rest of the ingredients were for our boards. We also thought that we were having a private party. Would definitely do again!

Chef Mark was incredible! My friends and I had a fabulous time cooking and learning. His explanation of the history of the charcuterie board was great! Not only did I learn how to prepare the food, I learned about the culture behind the food. I highly recommend Chef Mark and cannot wait for the next class!

It was great! I really enjoyed it and the recipes were delicious! Chef did a great job of presenting everything and answering questions! The only thing I would recommend is that you tell how to roast the egg plant and red pepper ahead of time. I had never used eggplant before and wasn’t sure how to do it. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Mark was great, however we did not have the right list of foods for the menu, that was a bit frustrating. But Mark helped us by giving us options for substitutions. I feel like we needed to have an email with the chef confirming the menu before the class, we took up a lot of time trying to find the substitutions and we were all over the country.

Chef Mark was fantastic! However it seemed that the ingredient list we received was not the same as what he had provided which made it difficult to make the recipe to exact specifications.

Great Class and (oh my) was the meal good! Chef Mark has a wealth of knowledge that he is eager to share. He showed us a number of techniques and concepts that we can easily reproduce in our own kitchen. There is something for everyone in this class, from a beginner to a seasoned home cook.

We told Mark we would be late because of unanticipated public transportation delays. Mark was very accommodating and made adjustments because of our delay. Once there, he greeted us at the door and we proceeded with the menu. We made wrapped asparagus appetizers, a wedge salad with a great dressing, risotto and strawberry shortcake. Everything was delicious. I had many questions during our lesson and Mark answered all and gave me tips when food shopping. I would definitely take another lesson with Mark.
