We had a wonderful experience with Chef Federico! We could not recommend him more. We (my partner and I) went for our six year anniversary and simply had a blast. (On that note, we felt very comfortable in this class as an LGBTQ couple!) Chef Federico was an outstanding host and extremely well prepared for our class. He had prepared and organized all the food ahead of time, so we had minimal grunt work and maximal fun. He even prepared us a number of appetizers to nibble on during the class. He was a superb teacher and gave us a number of tips. We also greatly appreciated how accommodating he was in getting us scheduled when we had limited availability. And finally, the food was SO GOOD (buonissimo!!!!). Grazie, Chef Federico!

We booked Chef Frederico for our sister-friend’s birthday. We had a ball. Chef Frederico taught us some helpful tips for cooking at home and made (with) us a delicious meal. As a matter of fact I’m making one of the dishes tonight! And his playlist made it even more enjoyable:)

The event was a success!!! My entire team was thrilled with Chef Federico and the class. We were all pleasantly surprised that the team could cook (lol). Chef Federico was great to be around. He spent just enough time with each group explaining the steps needed to create the delicious recipes without being overbearing or making us feel like we didn’t know what we were doing. The pasta making portion of the class was the perfect group task as we all had our hands involved. This was absolutely the best team event.

I was given this class as a gift from a relative. I have to admit I had my reservations. I thought this was not my kind of thing. Well, I was wrong. This class or I should say, the experience was amazing. Chef Federico is a wonderful man. He was so inviting and made us feel at home at the very beginning. Chef not only took his time explaining the recipes but also gave insight into the region and history of his food from his homeland. Seeing him explain step-by-step the process was truly delight. You can see he takes pride in his skills and culture. The food was amazing. My only complaint is, he calls his sauce, sauce. When we all know it’s gravy… haha! All joking a slide. In the strongest terms I recommend Chef Federico‘s courses. You won’t be disappointed!

Jeff

Kimberly

09 Jan 2023

You never know what to expect when you sign up for a cooking class. Who will be there? Will it be clean? Will I get to participate? Will I learn anything? Well Federico's class checked all the boxes. He welcomed my friend and me into his home to make Gnocchi, Caponata, and this amazing strawberry dessert. He was organized and professional. The two other guests were delightful. After preparing our meal which we could now easily reproduce at home, we sat down to a lovely lunch with total strangers, had great conversation, and easily relaxed into what was offered to us. I highly recommend taking a class with Federico. I walked away with some new tips, cooking skills and a general appreciation of his cuisine.

He was very helpful with overcoming scheduling hurdles, welcomed us warmly, and had everything ready for our class including some delicious cheeses and breads to start. His facilities were impeccibly clean, his instructions were clear and fun, and the meal came out delicious! Chef Federico made us feel at home, learning his family recipes and discussing cooking techniques and trends. And as a surprise, he made us a spcial anniversary tart! We would love to take another class with him, and sign our kids up, too! An amazing and fun experience!

13 members of my team and I joined Chef Federico today for a team building event and it lived up to all that I hoped it would be! From the start, the Cozymeal representative was extremely attentive, identifying the right Chef for my event. Leading up to it, Chef Federico was extremely helpful with menu and catering to my team's needs. The day started out with a lovely cheese board as we settled in and had fun. The menu was perfect, from start to finish. Chef was extremely helpful and great to spend the day with. My team and I loved the experience.

Ashley

This was a fun experience to celebrate my sisters birthday! The six of us went out of our comfort zone and had a great time with Federico! We went to his place in South Philly and it was really easy to get to. It was Super clean, nice area, and beautiful home. We each had a station where he instructed us on how to prep our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed being with Federico as he told us his background and heritage in Italy. We brought our own wine and he provided soft drinks, it was perfect for my husband who doesn’t drink. I highly suggest the meat and cheese upgrade. It’s all from the Italian market in Philly - mouth watering just thinking about it! We got to take home the recipe to give it a try at home. Everything was so fresh and the environment was overall a great time.

We haven’t done much the last few years with the pandemic, so we decided to treat ourselves and go for a cooking class. Very worth it! Chef Federico was so welcoming and hospitable. In addition to the meal, he was kind enough to prepare some appetizers (the white beans and shallots??? I need a class on that in itself ?). The food was absolutely delicious… that gnocchi was *chef’s kiss* and the strawberry mousse was amazing. Thank you again for the wonderful time!

We took the vegetarian cooking class with Chef Federico, who was very hospitable, friendly, and personable! We enjoyed cooking with him and making our fresh pasta from scratch! He responded quickly to my messages, and took dietary restrictions into highest consideration. Since the two of us in my party were the only ones in our particular class, we were even able to upgrade the dessert to a strawberry mousse, which was delightful! I highly recommend Chef Federico and guarantee you'll have a lovely experience.

I have nothing but praise for Chef Federico -- the food, his home and his demeanor. Chef helped us create a menu that would work for multiple allergies and still be delicious. He stood back and let us make a mess (and eventually a meal) and guided us along the way with great patience and warmth. The dinner came out tasty and the process was so much fun. If you have a special occasion -- birthday, bachelorette, celebration of any kind -- I highly recommend Federico's class!

I signed up a friend and I for a cooking class with Federico for my friend's birthday. Before the class, Federico reached out to see if we had any dietary restrictions or allergies which I thought was quite proactive. The class itself was very intimate and enjoyable. We were able to get as hands-on as we wanted, and Federico knowledgeably answered all our questions. The food was fantastic and I feel I would be able to incorporate the dishes into my regular cooking. I would highly recommend one of Federico's classes.

Chef Federico was warm, welcoming, and easy to learn from. And the recipes were great! I especially liked the stuffed squash and tomatoes.

Federico was very nice, easy to talk to, and made us feel at home. He greets you with snacks and you are allowed to bring alcohol. We made gnocchi with a twist (no potato) which was very good. He is also very good at accommodating dietary restrictions as well as being health conscious with his cooking. Could not recommend enough.

Chef Frederico prepared a delicious 3-course meal!!! He explained the cooking process step by step. It was fun cooking along with him and he was a great conversationalist as well. We felt right at home with Chef Federico.

Chef Federico was a joy to work with, he was very informative and taught us new techniques we have never used for baking. He purchased the finest ingredients for our session and everything tasted amazing. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys Italian desserts, or dessert in general.

Estuvimos muy contentas con Federico! En primero lugar su hospitalidad, su casa muy bien puesta y muy limpia!!! Cuida mucho los detalles. Nuestro grupo de niГ±as de 12 aГ±os, no podГ­an creer que les tuviera preparado un "brake" con carnes frГ­as, fruta, refrescos, botana, etc. IncreГ­ble! Este fue el primer menГє que hicieron, 1 de 3, y estaban encantadas con los instrumentos de trabajo, porque tenГ­a el instrumento necesario para cada cosa. Un detalle que tuvo con las niГ±as fue que les picГі la cebolla antes de que llegaran para que no "lloraran... por ser pequeГ±as. Les gustГі mucho el menГє, y lo que mas nos encantГі fue el comentario de una niГ±a que dijo: "Ahora ya me gustan las verduras!". Hasta eso logrГі Federico!! Esperamos que el prГіximo aГ±o nos vuelva a dar las clases este super chef! Mil gracias por todo!!

Federico es un super chef!! AdemГЎs de lo que puse en otro review, en este menГє nos encantГі la combinaciГіn de rissoto con kiwi, nadie de las que fuimos lo habГ­amos probado anteriormente. Lo que me encantГі de Federico, fue que no a todo el rissoto le puso el kiwi, por si a alguna niГ±a no le gustaba y como quiera lo pudiera probar. Este fue uno de los muchos detalles que tuvo Frederico con nuestro grupo de niГ±as de 12 aГ±os. Los tiempos muy bien llevados para cada parte del menГє.

Nuestra experiencia con Federico fue increГ­ble! En primer lugar por ser hospitalario, su casa muy acogedora y tuvo siempre muchos detalles con nuestro grupo. A pesar de que eran niГ±as de 12 aГ±os, fue muy paciente y muy buen maestro. Las niГ±as y los adultos que las acompaГ±amos quedamos muy contentos con la clase y todo el ambiente que ahГ­ se diГі. Los menГєs estГЎn muy completos y los ingredientes que utilizГі de muy buena calidad. Gracias Federico!!

What a great experience this was! I took my husband here for his birthday not knowing what to expect and I was so pleased with everything! The food was amazing and Chef Federico was wonderful. He made us feel very comfortable and even made my husband a special dessert for his birthday! Very professional, very friendly, very knowledgeable. We'll be back!

Had a wonderful experience cooking with Chef Frederico. He was well prepared and did a wonderful job of guiding us through the cooking process. The food was delicious and was simple enough so that I feel comfortable that I can make this vegetarian meal again. He was very kind and wonderful to chat with. I would highly recommend joining his classes!

Our experience with Chef Federico was amazing! My girlfriend and I had such a fantastic time cooking with him and another couple. The food we made was incredible and Chef Federico is an absolute master of flavor! We would highly recommend this class, even if you are not vegetarian. The end result was so delicious, I can still remember the taste of that gnocchi over a week later. We ate, drank, laughed, and learned some new culinary skills. We'd book again in a heartbeat!

When you want to try something a bit more hands on but with all the charm of the boutique cooking classes, you would be hard pressed to find a better night out than with Chef Federico of Cozymeal. He brings a dash of Italian cuisine, the rustic charm of northern Italy and blends them together for an enjoyable night in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended. The gnocchi was to die for but this time I know how to make it myself.

the entire experience was incredible! Chef Federico is amazing, he walked us through each step, answered all of our questions. We learned about our dishes and the region they are from - and, thanks to daylight savings, we were totally late and he was just so gracious towards our mishap. We will be taking another class with him soon!

Empanadas time! Federico uses multiple fillings: beef stew and cheese, tomatoes and mozzarella, and mushrooms as well. All of them great! Federico was a patient and knowledgeable teacher. I am ready do take another of his cooking classes.

I loved his version of the Cuban Beef Stew Ropa Vieja. Federico loves South America and he is always looking for some new tasty dish to cook. We had the beef stew with arepas which were perfectly executed. Great food and great company. Thanks!

Federico was amazing. Italian food is by far my favorite. I had the chance to spend several months in Italy and his dishes brought me back good memories. Not only is he an incredible chef, he’s a well-prepared teacher. Thanks Fede for a fun and delicious evening

I know Federico sometimes cooks recipes that include fish and meat. However, a couple of weeks ago, he cooked for me a vegan dinner and it was amazing. The oven-baked acorn squash with maple syrup and cinnamon was a great idea for dessert. Five stars chef.

Risotto in north of Italy is as common as is the pasta. We eat it pretty often in my house. You can literaly use a number of different ingredients. The secret is how you cook it and the timing. Federico mix traditional Italian cuisine with new and particular ingredients. Risotto with kiwi was very original and tasty.

Last Sunday, Federico showed my husband and I how to make homemade pizza. His recipe (which includes a boiled potato in the dough) gives the pizza a kick of flavor and a fluffy texture. I loved the one with anchovies and capers and the four-cheese and red pepper flakes even more. Thank you, your pizza is always great!

Fede taught me how to cook a lot of dishes full of veggies. I don't consider myself a vegetarian but I really enjoyed his recipes. His gnocchi are full of vegetables and you can actually taste them.

Jim

Federico's desserts are great. His dishes are simple but full of flavor. I think his secret is that he uses fresh ingredients only and his moderate use of fat, like butter or cream. Thank you.

I had a great time and the food was delicious! Federico is a great chef and host. His pie with orange marmalade and chocolate chips was fantastic. I would definitely recommend him.
