WHAT YOU’LL DO
Working as a team is the best way to emphasize the essence of French cooking.
In this hands-on team building activity, Chef Jordan W. demonstrates the techniques needed to draw out the essence of French cuisine with your colleagues. Rekindle team spirit as well as deepen your connection with food.
You and your team will begin by working together to construct a classic French wild mushroom risotto with notes of white wine, fresh Parmesan and lemon zest. An authentic French countryside dish of baked local vegetables will form the ratatouille to side your pan-seared local whitefish meunière. Lastly, your team will whip up a silky mousse tart brightened with lemon to showcase the essence of the regional flavors while marveling the lake-views of Chef's home.
Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Classic Pasta for Kids
with Chef Jordan W.
in Julian
We booked Chef Jordan's cooking class for Father's Day and it turned into one of our favorite family memories. From the moment we arrived at his house, the whole experience felt warm and welcoming, and the kids were hooked on the activity right away. We honestly had more fun than we ever imagined.
What really got me was watching my picky eater. She is usually hesitant to try anything new, but she was excited and happy to taste every dish we made. Chef Jordan has such a great way with kids, patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about cooking.
Since the class, my kids have been showing real interest in cooking, asking to help in the kitchen, and talking about what we made that day. We will be cheering to this memory for years to come. Highly recommend Chef Jordan for any family looking for a fun, hands-on experience that might just spark a new love of cooking.

Outdoor Farm-to-Table Feast
with Chef Jordan W.
in Escondido
What an incredible experience! Chef Jordan gave us far more than a meal, he gave us an education and a memory we'll be talking about for a long time.
His knowledge of food as medicine was fascinating, and his calm, welcoming demeanor made the entire experience feel approachable and fun. The food itself was absolutely epic, but what really made the day special was everything we learned along the way. From proper knife skills to new ways to cut and prepare fruits and vegetables, Jordan shared techniques that will change how we cook at home. He even managed to convince our palates that not all peppers are created equal!
Today was fun, unique, delicious, and exactly what we were hoping for as an anniversary cooking experience. Thank you, Jordan, for your generosity, your expertise, and for creating such a memorable day. We can't wait to cook with you again!

A Paella Culinary Journey
with Chef Jordan W.
in San Diego (University Heights)
Our family booked a paella cooking class with Chef Jordan for my mother in law's 70th birthday. Jordan was very professional and showed up with all the supplies for the cooking class. He used every opportunity to teach us about how to use the knives and how to prepare/cut different ingredients. Paella is something we would have never attempted on our own, and it was awesome to have a hands on experience to learn how to make it. Jordan goes above & beyond teaching and encouraging you to reimagine how simple and easy cooking can be. We loved the emphasis on using high grade and locally sourced ingredients. We made chicken broth from scratch and were able to use the leftover both & chicken for a dinner dish later in the week. All around this was an incredible experience and an excellent way to elevate your gatherings! Thank you Jordan!

We booked Chef Jordan for New Year’s Eve during our family trip to San Diego, and he was phenomenal. He was responsive, flexible, and just a pleasure overall. With two toddlers and early bedtimes, this was the perfect way to celebrate. We got a true five-star dining experience right at our Airbnb while the kids slept and the adults enjoyed. The food was absolutely delicious (and the leftovers were just as good the next day!). 12/10 — highly recommend him.

Handmade Thai Fare

We had an AMAZING experience with Chef Jordan! Our family of four met at his home and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Our menu conisisted of Lettuce Wrapped Portobello Quinoa Sliders topped with chipotle aioli and avocado, Blackened Pineapple Cajun Chicken and Peach Mango Cherry Cobbler. Cooking together as a family was such a fun and memorable experience, and every dish we made was both delicious and healthy.
My husband and son were a bit hesitant about some of the vegetarian quinoa slider dishes at first, but the quinoa burgers completely won them over—they’re still talking about how good they were! Chef Jordan is an incredible teacher: warm, patient, engaging, and so knowledgeable. He made everything easy to follow and genuinely fun.
Cooking in his home felt very special, and Chef Jordan went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. We would highly recommend him to anyone booking a cooking class through Cozymeal. Five stars all the way!

Beyond the food, Chef Jordan was incredibly kind, professional, and a joy to have in our home. He made the entire experience feel effortless and special. We will definitely be hiring Chef Jordan again for future events, what a rockstar!

Cooking With Mushrooms

I attended this class with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and have nothing but positive remarks. He adjusted the recipes to our restrictions/preferences (I'm gluten-free and vegetarian). He communicated about each step, gave us tips on knife skills (etc.), and connected with us. We also really enjoyed sitting down and sharing a meal with Chef Jordan and his partner. Thanks for a great class and for welcoming us. If you're debating whether or not this class will be worth it, debate no longer. Also, the food was impeccable.
