Booked the menu Exquisite Spanish Flavors with Chef Jimi in Brooklyn (Park Slope)

This was a unique and amazing experience! Chef Jimi prepared the Exquisite Spanish Flavors meal for my boyfriend and I - we will definitely be using Cozymeal again. Chef Jimi answered all of my questions beforehand and prepared a delicious 4 course meal. He left the kitchen spotless and even took out the trash at the end. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a gift that is unique, different, and delicious for a loved one. Thanks Chef Jimi!

Booked the menu Decadence From Land and Sea with Chef Jimi in Brooklyn (Sheepshead Bay)

Chef Jimi was great! Came on time and got right too work. He was supper friendly, food was amazing! There was so much food we were full before the main course even came out. Jimi did a good job at cleaning up. Made our special event a wonderful experience, will definitely be recommending him to everyone I know!
