WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE COOKING CLASSES IN MANHATTAN

Kaleigh N.

Booked 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!

Elisa S.

Booked Savoring Best of Spain with Chef Jimi in Brooklyn (Windsor Terrace)

It was an amazing night learning how to cook potatoes bravas, paella & churros. Chef Jimi was so easy to work with & I learned so much! Thank you

Tina L.

Booked 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!

Joe Januszkiewicz .

Booked 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.

Neda S.

Booked Feast Like A Greek with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)

We had such a wonderful experience! The resident chef split the time wonderfully between explaining the flavor pairings, noting preparation timing tips and showing / teaching us proper techniques in the kitchen. The meal was delicious and the kitchen / dining area were beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Emmie L.

Booked The Best of Italian Favorites with Chef Kenneth in Manhattan (Upper East Side)

Chef Ken was great-had a relaxed easygoing but professional manner. He came with everything he needed short of a blender which we provided for and assorted pots/pans. We learned a lot-and were put to work in a fun voluntary manner..our groups got their hands dirty from time to time but Ken also cooked/kept things moving forward as we were also catching up while watching/learning. I was impressed by the time saving use of the blender and various shortcuts learned to save time/effort that provided delicious results! Chef Ken taught us how easy some of these dishes were to make-incredible arancini in a marinara sauce, a fantastic Caesar salad w homemade dressing, homemade gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce, and delicious homemade cannoli w chocolate chip ricotta filling! He did a great job of passing tips and tricks along the way.. Our group learned a lot and agreed we would like to recreate some of these dishes at home again. I would recommend working w Chef Ken for your next cooking lesson/dinner party!
