The Best of Italian Favorites Review Photo from Cooking Class in NYC

Ashley G. April, 2026

Booked the class The Best of Italian Favorites with Chef Kenneth

Chef Kenneth was amazing! I booked this class to celebrate my boyfriendâ€™s birthday and we had a blast. We loved everything on the menu - particularly the gnocchi. He also left us with leftovers which were greatly appreciated. Cannot recommend Chef Kenneth enough :)

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!

Booked the class Upscale Flavors of China with Chef Kenneth in Brooklyn (Cobble Hill)

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!

Booked the class 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.

Beverly G. January, 2024

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. July, 2023

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.

Andrew B. March, 2023

They made the event engaging and smooth, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and supported throughout the cooking process. I definitely learned a few things. Additionally, the group dynamic made the event more enjoyable. The other participants were courteous and collaborative, which made working together enjoyable. Sharing the delicious "family-style" meal at the end was a delightful way to wrap up the class, and gave us all a wonderful opportunity to connect and get to know one another.

Booked the class The Art of French Cooking with Chef Paul in Manhattan (SoHo)

Had the most magical time at Chef Paul's Miette Culinary Studio! I brought my 12-year-old niece, who absolutely loves to cook. When signing us up, I mentioned in a note that her dream is to become a chef. The class included seven or eight adults and us, and Chef Paul went out of his way to make her feel welcome. He took her under his wing, showing her basic techniques and treating her aspirations with such respect that she felt truly seen and encouraged. We arrived early, and Chef Paul shared that he began cooking in a professional kitchen around the same age as my niece, then apprenticed under a famous chef in Paris at 15. He later became the head chef of two restaurants before opening his own culinary studio. The class focused on French cooking and included a four-course meal. I loved that it was small and intimateâ€”just 10 peopleâ€”compared to other classes I found that had 16 to 20 participants. Although we worked in groups of four to prepare each dish, Chef Paul brought everyone together where he demonstrated key steps across all the coursesâ€”techniques that many cooks get wrongâ€”and showed us how to do them for the best results. He even provided special recipes for us to take home and ensured that each student got hands-on experience with parts of multiple dishes. It truly felt like a shared and collaborative learning experience. By the end of the three-hour class, our class of nine or ten had shared a delicious meal and great conversation. My niece was absolutely thrilled and left even more inspired to pursue her dream. If you have a child who loves cooking, I canâ€™t recommend Chef Paul highly enough. He even offers childrenâ€™s group classes upon request. Thank you, Chef Paul, for such a warm, generous, and unforgettable experience!

Shonali B. July, 2025

Booked the class A Taste of Classic Japan with Chef Kenneth in Manhattan (Chelsea)

We had the best night with Chef Kenny! He was right on time, brought everything we needed, and made the class fun / interactive. I am a hopeless cook, and usually hate prep work, but Chef Kenny made this experience so much fun. He was friendly and patient, and my partner and I had a really fun evening. By the end I felt empowered to make a bunch of dishes and we had a fantastic meal. We would definitely do this again!

Daniel . June, 2025

Booked the class Fantastic French Feast - Date Night with Chef Stefanie in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)

Chef STEPHANIE was great, a few things that would have enhanced the experience. In my opinion, the food was too little to be satisfying for a dinner. You shouldâ€™ve had either bread on the table or some form of salad to start the meal. By the time we ate the scallops, they were cold, And it just wasnâ€™t enough to be a full dinner. I learned some great Tactics and overall was a very good experience, a few tweaks could make it even better. Thanks!

Justin R. February, 2025

Would highly recommend Chef Kenneth for any occasion. Super knowledgeable and we learned so many knife skills and tips and tricks we can do in the kitchen as well. The whole process was fun, and there was a good amount of leftovers. We really appreciate how he took the time to teach us and cleaned up for us too. It was also easy to converse with him as well and had the best time!
