Great knowledge, very friendly. portion was amazing and we were so grateful for the extra food. Good value for money. It would have been nice to be more a part of the cooking as I did indicate that I would like to learn knife techniques and such. I only peeled a carrot. Appointment/event went 2.5 hours overtime and this was a struggle. We never eat that late and it inhibited my enjoyment of the meal. I could hardly eat anything due to usually being in bed before 9:30. I usually do tip but I needed to pay extra for the travel to Limoges. This is the only reason I did not tip.

I booked Avi as a surprise for my wife’s birthday and wow - he delivered! Not only was Avi a great conversationalist on a wide range of topics, he is incredibly knowledgeable about unique spices and ingredients that make a dish sing! He also is health conscious and provided valuable advice for places to buy high quality ingredients at bargain prices. We spent a lot of time laughing and my wife said it was was the best birthday surprise ever! #winning

Chef Avi provided an absolutely delightful culinary experience. Extremely knowledgeable on many different cooking techniques from different cultures and was very friendly and communicable. Showed us many new tips and tricks in the kitchen and never hesitated to make the best use of a learning opportunity. Chef Avi came prepared and shared with us his experiences as a chef and business owner. He was very flexible in working with people with varying culinary skills, and was able to adapt the recipes to individualized palates. He is a 5/5 recommendation for someone looking to try Cozymeal's services and is a great representation of a professional and passionate chef.
