Fabulous Croissants Review Photo from Cooking Class in Chicago

Booked the class Fabulous Croissants with Chef Eric in Chicago (Streeterville)

Chef Eric was enthusiastic, charismatic, and incredibly supportive throughout the class. Chef stepped in exactly when needed and shared quick, helpful tips that made preparing the dish so much easier. Both dishes were absolutely delicious â€” but the Roasted Leek and GruyÃ¨re Croissant was truly top tier! Iâ€™m already looking forward to booking another class in the near future.

Chris was the chef that taught us how to make our breakfast and made the experience very memorable. Very professional and kind.

This is our second Cozy Meal with Chef Paco and both times have been such a blast! We loved learning to make ravioli and even want to try it at home. The whole experience was amazing and food was out of this world. 5 stars always got Chef Paco! Weâ€™ll for sure be back!

This experience was both super informative and extremely fun! There was one other couple present with my partner and I and we all had a great time chatting. We crafted our ravioli dough and after sat down to eat while Chef Paco made us salad. Chef Paco is super intelligent as well as a great host. We had a blast and plan to be back for more of his classes. Highly recommend this for any occasion!

We had a great time celebrating my momâ€™s birthday with Chef Paco! The raviolis we made were delicious and we finished off the meal with an amazing lava cake. I would definitely recommend taking a class with Chef Paco!

We absolutely loved this new experience full of tasty food and good conversation. If youâ€™re looking for a fun different date idea, this is it. Chef Paco made us feel so welcomed and confident in our cooking. We are excited to try another recipe again some time! PS. The lava cake is to die for.

April 20, 2019 As a self-proclaimed foodie and weekend warrior of the Chicago traffic and nightlife from Michigan, I wanted to experience something unique, fun, memorable, and small sided (romantic) in the Windy City. My date is a vegetarian so my quest to find a cooking class or experience that could cater to her lifestyle posed a challenge until I found Cozymeal and the Ravioli Techniques class with the personable Chef Paco. We arrived promptly for our class and he greeted us with a genuine friendly smile and showed us into his kitchen and well decorated home! The mood lighting was set and the music playlist was on point! After introductions, Chef Paco elaborated on his lustrous career as a chef, his travels, and experiences learned along the way. At this point, my date and I rolled up our sleeves and rolled out our ravioli after making pasta dough with Chef Pacoâ€™s expertise guidance while instructing us how to react if the pasta dough is too dry or too wet. We filled our ravioli with different types of mixtures Chef prepared for us ahead of time. After cutting out the ravioli, we sat down at our cozy table to share some moments over candlelight and wine as Chef Paco prepared our meal. The attention to detail could rival any â€œfancyâ€ Chicago restaurant. Our salad was expertly crafted with the freshest hand-picked ingredients. The ravioli was served with two different types of sauces that were just jam-packed full of flavor, my date even mentioned that she would have â€œlicked the plate clean if we were home!â€ A melt in your mouth chocolate lava cake was presented for dessert, there is never anything bad to say about chocolate lava cake! The experience moved at a good pace and Chef Paco knew how to keep us entertained while giving us time to live in the moment. The generous host even offered whiskies from his private collection! I would recommend booking with Chef Paco and I know I will myself in the future. The lines of communication was pretty open and response times were quick. This was my first time using the services of Cozymeal and it certainly hit all the marks of what I had in mind for a memorable date night. If youâ€™re a first timer, I recommend Chef Paco! If youâ€™re looking for a new experience, booking Chef Paco would not be a mistake!

I hate to be that person to leave a not so great review, but I want to give honest feedback. I bought this class for my girlfriend and I as we both love to cook and we were both very excited to cook and learn from a professional chef. While making the pasta dough/ravioli was fun, thatâ€™s really all we took away from a cooking educational standpoint. The ravioli fillings were already prepared by chef, the starting salad was prepared and served by him (just lettuce and dressing. No glazed carrots/pine nuts as described on the menu), and he made the lava cakes himself as we were eating the raviolis. Maybe I had too high of expectations going into this, but was bummed leaving feeling like I didnâ€™t learn much. Felt more of like a dinner party where you go in and help in the kitchen every once in awhile than an educational experience. I understand chef had a lot on his plate with time frames, making sure everyone was up to speed on their ravs, cleaning up pots/pans/dishes, but he didnâ€™t take the time to explain much at all (what was in the ravs, how he made the lava cake, etc). If you asked a question heâ€™d give a short quick response and move elsewhere. If youâ€™re looking for a fun social event with cooking intermingled, this is a great option. If youâ€™re serious about cooking and want an educational experience, Iâ€™d advice looking elsewhere.

Booked the class Pies and Tarts Aplenty with Chef Frank in Niles

took the pies and tarts aplenty class. what was supposed to be an endearing learning experience was instead an absolute shit show. we were not provided proper tools. all the ingredients for the filling of the pot pie obviously came in a can. we made enough crust for one pie, the rest of the dishes were made with pillsbury. yes, the kind you buy in the freezer aisle. he tried to send us home with uncooked quiche as if liquid just stays where itâ€™s put. felt rushed the entire time. horribly disappointing experience overall, couldnâ€™t even bare to stay the full 2.5 hours.

Chef Eric is fantastic! He's knowledgeable, charismatic, patient and super supportive. He made me feel like a A+ student in class.

Booked the class Pie Dough Creations with Chef Eric in Chicago (Streeterville)

This class was outstanding!! Heather made the class very hands-on; she showed me a few new cooking tricks, which I greatly appreciated; the 3 items were delicious, which I will make again; and she made the class lots of fun. But most of all I feel much more comfortable in making the perfect pie crust! I will definitely take more classes. Thank you.

Tonight's experience with Chef Paco was fabulous! His space was very clean and inviting. He was prepared to cook, teach and entertain. The 2 ravioli dishes (spinach and ricotta cheese in a tomato sauce and sausage, mushroom and fennel in a sage butter sauce) were awesome. My cousin and I had a great time and we're looking forward to Chef Paco's next cooking lesson!

Hamish T.

Booked the class Ravioli Techniques with Chef Paco in Chicago (West Ridge)

Chef Paco gave us a fantastic and welcoming experience. To start with, he rearranged timings to fit into out tight schedule. When we turned up we were straight into things and soon had our first ravioli ready. He was generous with his skills and experience and gave us a great mix of lessons, conversation and a restaurant-like afternoon. A particular highlight (apart from the two ravioli dishes) was the delicious dessert. We had a great time with Chef Paco and would recommend him and his class to everyone.

Booked the class Ravioli Techniques with Chef Paco in Chicago (West Ridge)

This was an amazing evening out! Chef Paco brought a wealth of knowledge, and we had a blast learning from him. He treated us like royalty, personally preparing and serving a three course, candle-lit meal. He also took pictures for us throughout the night. At the end, he shared from his collection of scotch and we enjoyed his company and learning about his experiences traveling across the city and the world and setting up new restaurants. He was warm, welcoming, and a heck of a chef. I would 1000% recommend!
