WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE COOKING CLASSES IN MANHATTAN

Kaleigh N.

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!

Elisa S.

It was an amazing night learning how to cook potatoes bravas, paella & churros. Chef Jimi was so easy to work with & I learned so much! Thank you

Or Z.

This cooking class was an amazing experience! The instruction was very professional and clear, and we learned so many new tips and techniques. The order of preparation was perfectly planned, so everything flowed smoothly. The chef was not only highly skilled but also fun, warm, and engaging, which made the whole experience even better! Highly recommend this class- prefect as a gift, date night, or a special experience!

Tina L.

We cooked steam fish and lots of other delicious food! My favorite part was chef Kenny taught us a lot tips and tricks on how to the knife better and more efficiently. He definitely improved our knife skills. It was a anniversary present and we had a great time!

Joe Januszkiewicz .

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.

Feast Like A Greek

Chef Ivan

We had such a wonderful experience! The resident chef split the time wonderfully between explaining the flavor pairings, noting preparation timing tips and showing / teaching us proper techniques in the kitchen. The meal was delicious and the kitchen / dining area were beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Jack B.

Chef Jamie kindly welcomed us into her home and provided a comfortable environment to experiment with flavors and enjoy developing a 3 course meal. This was a great date night activity that left us with tips and tricks we can bring into our own kitchen. Chef Jamie is a well seasoned professional whose expertise and sense of humor made for a fun evening in the kitchen. Thanks Chef!
