Upscale Flavors of China
with Chef Kenneth
in Brooklyn (Cobble Hill)
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.

The Best of Italian Favorites
with Chef Kenneth
in Manhattan (Upper East Side)
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.

Feast Inspired by the Lord of the Rings
with Chef Denis
in Manhattan (Harlem)
Chef Denis Williams truly delivered an unforgettable dining experience right to my doorstep! From the moment he stepped into my apartment, his warmth and expertise set the stage for an enchanting evening. The Lord of the Rings-themed 3-course meal he prepared was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing his talent and creativity. Not only was Chef Denis incredibly kind and sweet throughout the evening, but he also shared his extensive knowledge of the culinary world, adding a delightful educational element to the experience. What truly impressed me was his attention to detail and professionalism - he left my kitchen spotless, as if he were never there. I cannot recommend Chef Denis Williams highly enough for anyone seeking an exceptional private dining experience.

with Chef Kymberly

Chef Kymberly was a fantastic and fun engagement for a surprise dinner at home. She was prompt, knowledgeable, and excellent at making every part of the experience special. She answered all of our curious questions and came well-prepared for our time. And the food was perfect! Tasty, new, and exciting with every plating, we could not believe this food came out of our own kitchen. I can not speak highly enough of Chef Kymberly, as we would suggest her for this experience and any corporate function or engagement you have in mind. This made us believe in Cozymeal, and we can't wait to explore with her again soon.

West African Street Food
with Chef Kymberly
Food was delicious. A fantastic blend of sweet and savory with a wonderful kick to each dish. Kymberly was very easy to talk to and a whiz in the kitchen. One point for improvement would have been a discussion about the African culture as it relates to the food, and possibly a more hands-on experience.

Classic Greek Dishes
with Chef Michael
in Manhattan (Midtown West)
I took my fiancee for her birthday and we had a really fun and memorable time with Chef Michael for his Greek cooking class. He's got loads of worldly cooking experience and really knows his stuff! We learned a nice variety of cooking techniques, from simple veggie prep to grilling fish and even baking filo dough.
As a couple that cooks semi regularly at home, we felt like this was a perfect skill level for the class. He's really thoughtful and you can tell he absolutely loves doing this, which shows in his enthusiasm. He was happy to answer any amount of questions and our whole group had a really great experience.
Would absolutely do more classes with Chef Michael/Cozymeal in the future!

We had a 9-person private cooking class with Chef Ivan and it was fantastic! We split up into two groups and learned different techniques to create a delicious 3-course meal. We had a couple of folks who had dietary restrictions, which were seamlessly accommodated. Chef Ivan was knowledgable and handled our questions with ease. I'd recommend this class to groups and anyone who wants to learn authentic cooking techniques from an experienced chef.
