What You’ll Do

Discover an Italian dinner party menu that is easy in creation and elegant in presentation.

In this hands-on class with Chef Luis, you will learn how to prepare four traditional Italian dishes that are easy to make and will easily impress your guests.

After beginning with a classic Italian braised veal dish, Chef Luis will teach you how to prepare a chicken saltimbocca that will "jump in the mouth” with flavor as its name suggests. You will also learn how to prepare a shrimp pesto laden with fresh herbs, garlic, and a healthy dose of cheese, as well as a traditional panna cotta for dessert.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

This was a fantastic experience! My kids bought my husband I this experience and we just loved it. Chef Luis was so personable, so fun, and so talented. He created amazing food, created an enjoyable evening, and was a pleasure to have in our home. This unique experience is a MUST if you've never tried it. And we have found a new friend in Chef Luis. Can't wait to try another meal!

One of the Best Experiences of my Life and I’ve visited 13 countries and all 50 US states and this was phenomenal. This will become an annual Tradition! Thanks Chef Luis!

This was one of the most incredible cooking class/events we have ever done and we have done quite a few. Chef Louis was fabulous and we feel like we made a new friend in Tucson. The food was delicious! We are traveling in an RV so cooking at our place was out of the question. Having this class in his apartment was so much more intimate and “cozy” than the cooking classes we have ever done before. I highly recommend CozyMeal and Chef Luis.

It wasn’t a cooking class. Food was not very fresh: lots of processed and artificial ingredients ((Campbell’s soup for the sauce? WTH!) Way too salty and full of MSG, and overemphasis on meat ( “roasted pork” was just a pan fried chop). This is nor a Mexican cuisine - overall I felt the offering was falsely advertised. That said, Luis is an engaging and entertaining person, and the evening was enjoyable.

Chef Luis transformed our home into a culinary paradise with his remarkable 4-course Caribbean-inspired menu. His bubbly and charming demeanour added an extra layer of joy to my husbands 55th birthday celebration. Following his instructions was a breeze, making the entire experience seamless and super enjoyable. This dinner was not just a meal; it was a journey through flavours and textures that delighted our senses. Chef Luis, with his exceptional skills and warm personality, created one of the best experiences we could have imagined. We wholeheartedly recommend this fabulous chef for an unforgettable and delectable dining experience. Bon appetite!

Chef Luis is excellent. Extremely personable and full of life experiences. He arrived an hour early, what a pleasant surprise, and we spend 4 fun filled hours together. Prior to confirming our booking we had ask if he would modify the menu to jerk chicken. He had no problem doing so and he was more than happy to create a different menu which consisted of black rice, fried banana caribbean salad, coconut flan and morir sonando. You can't go wrong having Chef Luis cook for you.

What an amazing experience! My sister scheduled this as a gift for my Mom and Grandma thinking it would be something fun we could experience together. Chef Luis exceeded our expectations as he explained the food and its origins. A Mother's Day success! Thank you, Chef Luis!

Chef Luis was great! He arrived a little early and was set up and ready to go at the start time. He made sure to take his time discussing the ingredients and how they all tied into the Caribbean theme, while answering any questions that came up along the way. We were also dealing with a crying baby for a portion of the night and he was very respectful and patient as we stepped away from the kitchen to take care of it. The food was wonderful and we had great conversation throughout. The kitchen was left spotless at the end as well. 10 out of 10.

Chef Luis was awesome! We are a family of 4, he came to the AirBnB we were staying at on vacation in Tucson. He arrived exactly on time, brought all ingredients and cooking tools, and was ready for everything. He did a great job explaining the history, the ingredients, and the process. The food was amazing. We would absolutely do this again!

We had a wonderful night with Chef Luis - he made us a ton of delicious Cuban inspired food and engaged in some very interesting conversation. It was a pleasure to have him cook for my mother's 65th birthday and he left the kitchen as clean as he found it. I'd highly recommend using him for an at home chef experience!

We had a fabulous experience! The three of us are cooks and we learned so much! The food was wonderful but truly secondary to meeting and talking with Chef Luis. We would certainly like to partner with him again if we're in Tucson.

Luis was an amazing host! The food was beautifully done and his education of all the ingredients was incredibly vast. He helped explain the steps when cooking and gave us a glimpse into his background and experiences. He went above and beyond and made my husband's birthday incredibly special. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone and would do it again.
