Live Well, Eat Well

Very informative and intimate class! Chef Phoebe was very welcoming and answered all of our questions about cooking technique, how to get the best ingredients and what type of cookware is essential in a kitchen. The meal was absolutely fantastic and we cannot wait to replicate the menu on our own!

4-Course Seasonal Lunch
with Chef James
in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)
We had a fun night with Chef James. We bought food together at a market and then joined him in his kitchen for the prep and then meal. By one critique is that I wish there was more content to the evening--meaning learning more, hearing more stories about what we were eating and the style of cooking. Overall, the food was fantastic.

Suckling Pig Dinner
with Chef Ronny
Chef Ronny knows what he's doing. He has great knowledge behind the apron, and he's more than willing to share that with you. His cuisine is outstanding, and I cannot rave about the pork belly enough. It had deep flavor, and was unbelievably tender and moist. The perfect texture. Chef Ronny is a true craftsman in the kitchen, I highly recommend his classes.

Suckling Pig Dinner
with Chef Ronny
Chef Ronny's cooking class blew me away! I enjoyed how even though it wasn't completely hands on, we still learned a lot in a short amount of time. Chef Ronny is extremely knowledgable and passionate about food. My favorite part of the class was learning how to plate different dishes and making something delicious look beautiful as well. I am looking forward to my next class!

Traditional French Fare
with Chef Marlène

I had such a blast in Chef Marlene's class! Step by step, she taught us how to create daube a la provencal and gratin dauphinois! One thing I loved about her cooking class (besides the delicious food), was how knowledgable she was of the French cuisine. I really appreciate her tips on where to buy the best meat and produce in the city. I look forward to her next class!

California French Duck
with Chef Douglas

We had so much fun cooking and learning from Chef Douglas! We were welcomed into his beautiful home with a smile and a nicely laid out menu of all the food we would be cooking and enjoying for the evening. He has a way of making even the most tricky meals look easy... We learned to make California French duck and we left knowing we were given the tools necessary to pull it off at home! He is a talented chef and patient teacher with a wealth of knowledge and a kind spirit. Thank-you Chef Douglas for a truly delightful experience :)

Douglas was amazing and the evening was spectacular. Douglas hosted a dinner for my wife's 30th birthday. As a husband trying to do something special, it was great to see my wife smile the whole way home. She said it was perfect and unique and far better than a dinner out. Douglas suggested a great menu and kept the evening paced with food. He even started off the night letting us help prepare her cake which would later serve as the final course. Everything was delicious, including the variations he made to accommodate a couple of our vegetarian guests. His beautiful house not only set a wonderful atmosphere, but was also a subject of design conversations through the evening. I can't recommend Douglas and Cozymeal highly enough. I will certainly be back.

What a fun time! Douglas is an amazing host, teacher, and cook. He shared and we made wonderful recipes all of which will be easy to replicate and all of which were delicious. Along the way, he explained techniques, tips, and shared his joy of cooking. I had a great evening and will recommend to friends for sure.
