Booked the class A Taste of Classic Japan with Chef Kenneth in Manhattan (Lower East Side)

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!

We had a fantastic time with chef Kenneth. He helped us prepare a delicious meal and we learned a lot. He is also great with kids. We planned the event for my middle school aged son who loves cooking and he had a blast. 10/10 will definetly book again. Thank you!

Booked the class Handcrafted Sushi - Date Night with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)

You donâ€™t eat what you prepared!!!!! The experience started as a 10/10, we were learning and enjoying the preparation, each couple did about 8 rolls, then we got ask to give the rolls to the chef, she separated in trays and send us out so they could prepare our dinner, BUT when we get back in, we realize she just mix all of the rolls from everyone in the room and was cutting them for us, she said â€œyou work as a team so thatâ€™s why Iâ€™m cutting it like this, they all should be the same â€œ BUT THAT WASNT TRUE, it really make the whole class lose complete sense, during preparation she will said â€œadd whatever you want, feel free to modify or accommodate to what you likeâ€, on my table we saw what other couple and us did, we didnâ€™t put cucumbers in all our rolls, just because we didnâ€™t want it, but when she mix everything for dinner time, every roll that come to our table included cucumbers, which is a bit disappointing since we realize those werenâ€™t the rolls we prepared, without mention that we got soooo many of the same kind of roll and some were just pieces of rice and a piece of cucumber. Honestly it ruins the whole experience, since you get excited while cooking that you gonna get to eat what you are making, thatâ€™s the whole point, and then you didnâ€™t get any of what you work forâ€¦â€¦. It will be better if we have the choice of cut it ourselves and decide in which order or which ones we want to eat, instead it make the class turn into a 6/10. If all is gonna get mix I think it should be inform since the beginning so you donâ€™t do anything â€œdifferentâ€ or â€œspecialâ€ because there is no point. They added it a drink which was really good, but for me the whole experience is about enjoy what you did!

My roommate and I had the best time during the Elevated Bento Box cooking class with Chef Nori. She Chef Nori is extremely knowledgable in her craft and left us with easy tips&tricks to use in the kitchen. The menu was divine and quality was unmatched. I definitely recommend attending this workshop.

Booked the class Elevated Bento Box with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

Chef Nora was great! Unlike other cooking classes I've done, this one wasn't stressful & overly fast paced. Instead, everyone cooked together, doing a part of the preparation. The Bento box class was awesome, I learned skills that I'll be able to transfer over.

My sister and I had a great time. We learned great tips such as how to best use a knife and to make basic rice. The settings to learn and eat our meal were clean and beautiful. Chef Ivan was patient and pleasant. He managed our time well. We all got a chance to try all of the skills and preps. At the end, he even packed up our leftovers for us. We left very full and happy.

It was a great experience! I took the sushi class and it was amazing! Had plenty of sushi to take home and I feel quite prepared to do it at alone at home! Love that it is a 3-course meal I learned and ate rather than just rolling sushi as well ^___^

Chef Kenneth made our Taste of Japan cooking class an absolutely fantastic experience. He was fun, engaging and kept us involved from start to finish. His teaching style was clear and approachable, making it easy for us to follow along regardless of skill level. We especially appreciated how he took the time to teach proper cooking techniques and knife skills, which made the class both enjoyable and genuinely educational. It felt like we walked away with skills we can actually use at home! On top of that, the food we prepared was incredibly delicious and everything turned out better than we expected! Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we would highly recommend Chef Kenneth to anyone looking for a fun and informative cooking class.

Chef Kenneth was great! We live in San Antonio, TX and our nephew lives in Brooklyn, NY. We wanted to give our nephew the experience of Chef Kenneths Taste of Japan sushi cooking class for his 18th birthday. Our nephew invited 5 friends. They said Chef Kenneth was "very cool" and that it was "the best experience". Chef Kenneth taught some tricks and gave a great class. Thank you Chef! We are so proud that you made this cooking class/dinner such a memorable experience for our nephew and his friends.

Booked the class A Taste of Classic Japan with Chef Kenneth in Manhattan (Upper East Side)

Amazing Japanese cuisine class with Chef Kenneth! We learned tons of techniques from sushi to tempura to matcha tofu panacotta dessert making. Not only was the class fun and the dinner delicious, but also Chef Kenneth is an amazing conversationalist and such a positive presence that he put all of us at ease right away. He spent almost double the time with us, brought all the necessary supplies and ingredients with him, and we made enough delicious food to have lunch with friends the next day. We also found out that Chef Kenneth does private parties, works as a private chef, and can even organize corporate and team building events. I am certain this is not the last time we are cooking with Chef Kenneth. Highly recommended experience!

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!
