Ingredients very simple and not worth the price . We were also charged $75 plus tax for a $12 bottle of wine we were familiar with. We brought our own wine but they insisted we buy one from them. Now we know why. We felt taken advantage of. We Sent text and emailed Roddy about our experience and he never responded . First time experience will be our last with cozy meal.

Horrible experience that was essentially a scam. Chef Roddy was not present. We were barely given an opportunity to prepare any of the dishes and were essentially taught nothing. Starting with the sauce, the chef just made the sauce themselves. They did not give instructions, only listed ingredients or quantities when we asked. There was no instruction given on how to make the pasta besides combining flour plus egg and barely any oversight as they were focused on making the sauce behind us. There was no option to make gnocchi or ravioli as in the description. We were not taught to make the salad address from scratch as in the description as this was prepared in advance. Additionally, the panna cotta was also prepared in advance so there was no teaching there. At every opportunity, things were made in advance and done as quickly as possible by the chef without us and without any sort of instruction. We felt rushed despite being the only group of 3 and left an hour before our designated time. This seemed like this “cooking class” was doing below to bare minimum just to check off the boxes.

Oscar, our chef and Oscar his sou chef were ready and waiting for us as we were the only couple to enjoy the vegetarian class. They spent time, energy and knowledge with us in an intimate, personable and patient manner and setting. It was great! We learned, tasted and sipped our way through our time and then enjoyed the meal they and we had prepared. We left with well packed extras and great memories.

Great evening with Chef Roddy and his team. The food was great. We had a good blend of helping to cook and also networking with our team. A wonderful night overall. I would highly suggest. We did the Paella cooking class and it was delicious and plenty of food for all 9 of us. Thank you Chef!'

AVOID THIS CHEF. I recieved this class as a birthday present and the chef was initially responsive but then the day prior to our class stopped responding. Did not provide the location or follow-up any messages with where to meet for the class with specific address despite them being read as (seen). He took our course money and then refused to respond to customer service about the issue when I asked for a refund or new course date. Very disappointed by the poor customer service from both cozymeal and this chef. Would recommend picking someone else to avoid being scammed.

We had a great time with Chef Rodney and his team. We had about 11 people in our group and the reviews of the class and the meal all came back fantastic from our team. The only thing I'd want to warn future participants of is that this experience is a bit of a blend between having a cooking class and a meal. The Chef's team ran us through a few recipes as a group like making a scratch Ceasar Dressing, bolognese, and garlic bread. Then we all divided into small groups and tried our hand at making pasta. We sampled our creations, but then a bit of cooking show magic happened, and Chef's team took over. They brought out premade portions for the rest of the meal and brought it together. So we got to have a very nice meal served. Had some fun in the kitchen. And had a great private experience. Great event, I'm a big fan.

Very enjoyable and relaxed experience with a very friendly and capable chef Albert. Was well prepared ingredients and easy to execute steps with clear guidance to prepare the four course meal! Great family bonding for the three of us.
