Emily was excellent chef and guide that kept us on track while providing expert knowledge and some humor. Both the food and the experience were great!

Beverly G.

Booked the class Posh European Brunch with Chef Karmala in Queens (Long Island City)

Mala was unbelievable. There were two of us in the course and she quickly adapted her presentation to the skill level of the audience. I've taken numerous courses throughout the years and have never had such a delightful experience. The recipes were well documented, the instruction clear and concise, and the personality of the chef was IMPECCABLE. I would take courses with Mala anytime!

Mike P.

Booked the class Gourmet American Steakhouse with Chef Lamour in Queens (Astoria)

Dinner with chef lamour was terrific. She was friendly, helpful, very interesting and the food was amazing! The only thing I would say is that this was more of a private chef dinner as opposed to a cooking class. We helped somewhat with preparation and lamour certainly answered any questions we had and gave us various tips, but it was less of a class than we expected. This is not meant as a negative as we had an absolutely wonderful evening! Just Putting it out there so folks know what to expect.

We loved our private Italian cooking class with Madi! She walked us through all the steps of the recipes seamlessly and taught us new techniques that only a professional chef would know. All of the dishes were delicious and we loved that she included some of her seasonings that she makes personally herself. She was very professional and prepared - bringing all the ingredients and equipment with her and cleaning everything up afterwards as well! It was a pleasure learning from her and we hope to do another cooking class with her soon!

Wendy L.

Booked the class Vegan and Gluten Free Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)

I attended Chef Mukti's class with my partner, Andrew, and cooking with her was an incredible experience! It was our first cooking class ever, and Mukti taught us how to make *five* amazing vegan Indian dishes from scratch. Mukti not only walked us through each cooking step, but she also taught us some really helpful tips and tricks about cooking in general, including how to handle cookware properly and how to incorporate different kinds of spices â€” and the benefits of them as well. To top it all off, the food itself is to-die-for. Mukti's cooking class is definitely worth it and we both highly recommend it to anyone.

Matthew W.

Booked the class Traditional American Fare with Chef Julieanne in Queens (Astoria)

From the moments that I was greeted at the door and when walked into Julieanne's apartment, I knew I was in for something very special. Julieanne and her cohost Ryan are both amazing chefs that work together as a team to provide, not only amazing cuisine and training, but a great experience that will make you want to come back again and again. The fresh pasta ravioli and sauce just melt in your mouth. The sauce is soul-warmingly delicious. You will want to lick your plate clean. And since you are not in a restaurant, YOU CAN! For seafood lovers, don't miss the moules frites. Your palate will thank you. So amazingly delicious I would come back again for the same dish. Longing for comfort food? Julieanne will prepare a chicken pot pie like you've never had before. She will explain why it's so good and help you to make the same thing at home. The pie top is the perfect thickness so as to balance it with the yummy contents below. Finish it off with amazing espresso gelato that is made with Frangelico liqueur! Take your choice with French, Italian or American dishes. You can't go wrong. You will want to come back for more. I do.

If you are the least bit hesitant to cook for family or guests, meet Chef Kate!

Not only will you learn HOW to cook great things like Fettucine alla vodka or Udon stir fry, but Kate will teach you WHY the different techniques are important to get the best results. Try the avocado & poached egg on fancy toast. It's totally delicious! NYC meets L.A.

Kids, families, and adults will love Chef Kate.

Matthew W.

Prepare to be amazed. Nick is extremely qualified to teach, dazzle and entertain. Your palate will be pleased and your knowledge of food and cuisine will grow in leaps and bounds. The fresh pasta was made like a native Italian and his Bolognese sauce is on another level. Learn how to make a delicious bearnaise sauce, marinate and cook a skirt steak like you've never tasted before. The flavors in the mushrooms and steak continued to wow me long after the last swallow. For dessert, tres leches cake! Wow! You will definitely find room for this, even on a full stomach. Never pretentious or proud, always willing to share his abundant skills and craft. You won't be disappointed. Bring your friends. Come back again and again.

Chef Lamour was phenomenal! My partner and I were celebrating his birthday, and she made the evening very special for the 2 of us. She was very thorough with the explanations of the different cooking and chopping methods and was a delight to chat with about the old NY. My partner and I would definitely experience her delicious cooking again! ;-}

Linda B.

Booked the class Tantalizing Tapas with Chef Joaselyn in Manhattan (Upper East Side)

My wife and I had a great time at the "Tantalizing Tapasâ€ cooking class organized by Cozymeal. Our chef, Joaselyn, made our eveningâ€™s experience absolutely fun and enjoyable. We learned that we could make an array of delicious tapas by simply selecting some easy-to-get ingredients and preparing them the right way. Our cooking environment was pleasant and Joaselyn was friendly, patient and great to work with. We followed her step-by-step instructions and totally immersed ourselves in preparing and cooking five different tapas. A must-mentioned is Joaselynâ€™s sauces! They are easy to make and tasted heavenly. The best part of these sauces is that you can apply them to a wide variety of food, may it be vegetables, meats or bread, and they are all yummy! The last part of the class was the easiest one --- my wife and I had a sit-down tapas dinner after our class and thoroughly enjoyed our delightful creations. We will get our recipes for what we learned that evening, and will definitely do this again to learn some more interesting dishes from Joaselyn.

Greg B.

Booked the class A Greek Feast with Chef Maria in Manhattan (SoHo)

Booked the class Four Courses From Argentina with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Chinatown)

Chef Ivan is professional and kind. It was a wonderful experience.

Randy S.

Booked the class Vegan and Gluten Free Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)

Highly recommend! I scheduled a gluten free and vegan Indian cooking class with Chef Mukti for my girlfriend's birthday. My girlfriend is gluten free and dairy free. Chef Mukti had to reschedule our class for a different day with a different menu that wasn't necessarily gluten or dairy free. Chef Mukti made sure to have options for my girlfriend so that she didn't miss out on anything. The food was unbelievably delicious. Mukti was extremely informative during the entire cooking process. We were with a family of seven that we didn't know. Mukti made the atmosphere comfortable and we had a blast. She also made sure everyone was involved constantly. It was so much fun and the food was so good. We don't live in NYC but if we did I'm sure we'd do another cooking class with the chef. I never leave reviews for anything online but I felt like I needed to for this. Great experience, and after the dinner Mukti sends you an incredibly detailed recipe of everything so you can cook it again.
