What You’ll Do

Give your sweet someone the gift of a gourmet evening together.

Join Chef Gary for an date-night cooking class that celebrates the flavors of Italy in an intimate and engaging setting. This hands-on experience is perfect for creating lasting memories as you and your partner learn to craft a gourmet trattoria-inspired menu from scratch.

Begin with a fresh burrata salad featuring heirloom tomatoes, arugula, fried basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, paired with freshly baked focaccia bread. For the main course, prepare “marry me” chicken in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce or a vegetarian option with eggplant and cannellini beans, served alongside delicate angel hair pasta in a butter and sage sauce and caramelized seasonal vegetables. Finish with a decadent red velvet parfait layered with whipped cream and raspberry jam for the perfect sweet finale.

We had our experience with Chef Valentino and his partner. This was such a fun experience. Chef was filled with jokes and energy. It made our experience great! This was my boyfriend’s and my first time. I’m excited to try to cook this on my own. Thank you so much Chef Val for a fun interactive time.

Chef was very personable and very knowledgeable. We were unable to cook all the items presented on the menu at the time of booking. Pancakes were prepared last minute by the chef. 4 guests were still preparing food while the other guests were already seated. I feel the event was understaffed and could have been better organized. Perhaps consider adding staff and using ‘stations’, ie) each station assigned an item to prepare. Food was cold by the time it was served. I love this concept and my daughter and I enjoyed ourselves.

We did a team building event at Cozy Meal and we made ravioli, tiramisu, mozzarella balls, lemon chicken sauce, fettuccine all from scratch! Chef was extremely attentive and he explained tips and tricks of cooking. He also showed us a lot of ingredients that we typically don't use in our home kitchens (like cow enzymes!). The Chef took good care of multiple colleagues with food allergies as well. Everyone pitched in to making the dinner, and it was a lot of fun rolling the dough, shaping the mozzarella, whipping our own cream, designing our own tiramisu and wrapping our own raviolis. In the end, the meal was restaurant-level delicious, the food was ample amount to feed our group of ~15 people. We had a good time all around, and left with our bellies content and team stronger. Thanks Chef! Highly recommend.

Our family (parents and a daughter) joined a French class at 5 pm 9/1. It was a great experience! We learned a lot while having a fun time. Chef John Peredina is very talented and funny Chief! Thanks to him and the team members! The classroom (cooking and eating area) is big and clean. the arrangement was what we expected and nice. We highly recommend this class.
