We had an amazing meal and experience with Chef Justin. Chef Justin was very communicative prior to the experience. Chef Justin arrive 15 minutes prior to start time in order to get set up. We helped prepare and ate seafood salad, a few rolls (proteins: salmon, shrimp, crab, beef) and mochi ice cream (green tea, strawberry and vanilla). We learned so much and the meal was beyond delicious. Overall it was the best time and the food was so great we would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Chef Justin!

One of the most fun things I’ve ever done! My BF and I have been ravin about it for days. Justin was super helpful, hilarious, and made the whole experience even better. The food was delicious, and he went above and beyond—chatting with us about anything, taking tons of pictures (so sweet!), and letting us get creative with handrolls + other rolls after making the main menu items. We were in a bit of a rush at the end, and somehow, he cleaned everything up in like 10 minutes. Highly recommend. We were also STUFFED and had leftovers.

My boyfriend and I had such a fun experience with this sushi class! Chef Justin was kind and patient, guiding us through various sushi-making techniques. He thoughtfully accommodated my allergies, ensuring the menu was both gluten-free and dairy-free. Everything was well-organized and timely, and most importantly, the sushi we created was absolutely delicious! I can't recommend Chef Justin enough for anyone looking to try their hand at sushi making skills!

My recent Cozymeal experience with Chef Benoit was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped into his warm and inviting home, I knew I was in for a memorable culinary adventure. Chef Benoit’s expertise shone through as we embarked on the delightful task of creating an exquisite meal. We began with a delicate and flavorful tuna tartare that set the tone for the evening. Following this, we prepared tournedos of beef filet accompanied by a rich and savory oyster mushroom fricassée. The potatoes au gratin were perfectly creamy, while the green asparagus added a vibrant touch to the palette of dishes. To complete the meal, we baked pommes au four, which were a delightful and sweet conclusion to our feast. Chef Benoit's culinary mastery was evident not only in the delicious dishes but also in the invaluable food prep and cooking tips he shared. I left the event feeling fully capable of replicating the meal on my own, a testament to his teaching skills. His friendly and approachable demeanor made the cooking class enjoyable, while his deep knowledge of culinary arts provided a rich learning experience. Additionally, Chef Benoit’s ability to accommodate last-minute dietary restrictions was commendable, demonstrating his flexibility and consideration for his guests. This aspect, combined with the overall quality of the experience, positions it as an excellent option for team-building events. Receiving this experience as a gift was truly special. The meal not only turned out fantastic, but it was also delicious, showcasing the high standard of Chef Benoit's culinary talent. I highly recommend this Cozymeal experience to anyone looking to enhance their cooking skills or simply enjoy a wonderful meal in the company of a talented chef.

Ariana M.

Chef Justin was wonderful! He is very nice, clean, and so prepared! We had a wonderful experience learning new cooking techniques. We made a cucumber-seaweed salad and several different sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. He also brought matcha ice cream for us to enjoy later. We loved this experience and definitely recommend!

This was my 2nd time with Chef Gustavo. He always puts on a unique experience that is unforgettable. I love that we learn so much about the history and culture of the dishes we're making, and his dishes are approachable and ones I will make at home. His kind, welcoming personality makes it so great.

Tiffany was FANTASTIC. She was so friendly and engaging! She was super organized and was comfortable in our kitchen. We learned a TON amd she must have answered 100 questions with a smile. The food was soooo good. Most importantly, we are confident that we can cook this menu again! Highly recommend!!

We had such a wonderful time cooking with Chef Gustavo! He’s an excellent teacher, and his knowledge really shines through. After the class, he even gave us tips on where to find ingredients so we could recreate the dishes at home. The whole experience was fun and informative, and the food was absolutely delicious! We took "The Flavors of Chile" class, and everything we made tasted incredible. I’ll definitely take another class with him and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and flavorful experience!

From the moment my wife and I stepped into his kitchen, Chef Gustavo's warm and personable nature put us at ease. His passion for cooking was immediately evident as he introduced us to the evening's menu, which featured a delightful array of dishes. We began with sautéed shrimp infused with garlic, parsley, and dried chiles de árbol atop green plantain cakes. Chef Gustavo guided us through the process of preparing and cooking the plantains, demonstrating techniques that were both practical and impressive. Chef Gustavo's professional demonstration made a seemingly daunting task accessible and fun, especially with wrapping fillets in banana leaves. The sweet crêpes for dessert were the perfect conclusion to the meal. Chef Gustavo's couples cooking class was as enriching as enjoyable, highlighting Chef Gustavo's vast expertise and ability to create an engaging and informative atmosphere. Clear instructions and helpful tips made it easy for everyone to achieve perfect results; the hands-on approach made us feel confident and capable as we worked through each step. Throughout the class, his anecdotes and personal stories added a delightful layer of entertainment. Chef Gustavo's cooking class was a fantastic blend of learning and enjoyment. His expert guidance and personable teaching style made for an unforgettable culinary evening.

Our team-building retreat with Chef Li was nothing short of amazing. In her beautiful and private, modern kitchen, Chef Li didn’t just teach us to cook; she inspired us with her culinary passion and expertise. We crafted a delightful array of dishes, from perfect homemade dumplings to exquisite stir-fried pork, a refreshing tofu skin salad, and a heavenly dessert soup. Each recipe was a masterclass in flavor and technique, showcasing Chef Li’s exceptional skill. Her warm, engaging approach made the experience not just educational, but truly joyful. We’re grateful to Chef Li for not only the delicious food but also the wonderful memories and the spirit of teamwork she fostered.

Chef Justin is warm and welcoming. We learned about the history of sushi but we also acquired the skills to make it ourselves. The class was exceptionally well-organized, with all the necessary ingredients and tools laid out neatly. Chef Justin's attention to detail was impressive, and he took the time to explain the importance of selecting the freshest fish and perfecting knife skills. His explanations were clear and easy to follow. This attention to aesthetics elevated the entire sushi-making experience to a true work of art. It was a truly memorable meal, and he was able to make substitutions and the birthday super special.

Always a fun night with Chef Gustavo. Good conversation- he makes everyone feel like part of a family while we cook and eat together. This was our second meal with him. We would definitely book a third. We did three types of meat - they were so good. I was a skeptic when he only seasoned with salt, but wow just cooking over the flame added such flavor, salt was all you needed.

We were already good, long-time friends, but cooking together and eating what we cooked added something new and magical to our bond. Having Jordan as a chef was a blessing. He came well-prepared, brought all ingredients and cooking utensils. He walked us through the prep steps showing us and letting us try his techniques. The food at end was super delicious!

For our son’s 16th Birthday we surprised him with a CozyMeal cooking class with Chef Andrea! For someone who truly enjoys cooking & learning, he had the absolute BEST time ever. Chef Andrea picked up on his joy and made this a fun learning experience guiding him through every part of our Asian themed 3-course dinner. In the end, not only was everything delicious AND there were left overs, but two weeks later, our son followed Chef Andrea’s steps to recreate the meal including the wonton soup! Thanks CozyMeal & Chef Andrea for a most memorable birthday for our son! We’ll definitely be booking another culinary evening… this time with our entire family and some friends!
