He tailored the experience to suit our dietary needs and culinary preferences, ensuring that everyone felt included and could fully participate.

He adjusted his teaching style to accommodate various skill levels, making sure everyone could grasp the techniques and get hands-on with the process.

Chef Andy and his team were phenomenal! Our corporate group of 34 participated in the Latin inspired tacos team building activity. We had multiple last minute requests due to dietary restrictions and allergies. Chef Andy was patient and invested quite a bit of time in making modifications. I was worried about making sure everyone had a similar experience despite any dietary restrictions and Chef handled it all perfectly. Our group had a long day before we even arrived but Chef Andy and his team brought so much positive energy that the team ended up also being reenergized. Chef was authentic, personable, and funny. Every person in our group stayed engaged the entire time. We received great feedback about the event from participants. The food was also excellent!

Jennifer

What a great experience! I can't begin to say how much fun we had. Chef was great at figuring out how to make it work in our very limited kitchen. Chef Andy had everything prepped and ready to go making it easy to interact with him as he prepared our meal. The food quality was excellent and the taste was phenomenal. We enjoyed the "Emily in Paris" experience and would use Chef Andy again for another. Thanks Chef for a great evening in.

Chef Andy was awesome! We were kind of dumb and showed up 30 minutes early not realizing the appropriate time. As a result, we had the opportunity to meet his lovely wife and daughter. He put together an awesome class and I would highly recommend to all of any experience level

5 hours agoChef Andy was fantastic! My wife and I have done a few other cooking classes in more commercial settings, but this was much more enjoyable. We had a small class of about 5 people, so all of us were getting plenty of personal attention and tips, and I've already seen my knife handling skills increase considerably in the two days since we took the class. It's fun, a great environment, he played great music, and we actually learned a ton. We also ended up having a great meal! Everyone got along super well, so we ate our creations together and really bonded as a group. Chef Andy's recipes were amazing, and everyone was raving about their own dishes. The portions were huge, so I actually had enough left over to make a tasty breakfast out of it as well. We did a vegan cooking class that night. I'm not one, but my wife is vegetarian. He taught us a ton about nutrition and the benefits of plant based diets, but was in no way preachy or judgemental to those of us who weren't practicing vegans/vegetarians. He created a welcoming, warm, and fun environment for us all to learn and play in. I can't thank him and his assitant enough for their hospitality. And I haven't even mentioned how accomodating he was, as we had to reschedule TWICE after we had a whole lot of life hit us and make it so we couldn't keep our first appointments. He was just like, "No big, that happens. Here's my next few availabilities." If we take more Cozymeal classes in the future, I'm checking out Chef Andy's page first. He seems to have a great head on his shoulders, and I have a feeling he'll be a big shot chef in the not so distant future. You should definitely sign up for a class with him before he gets too big. Thanks again to you both, and good luck in future endeavors!

Chef Andy taught an awesome cooking class, it was a great mix of fun, educational, and super tasty. Each of the tapas tasted awesome -- the risotto was the star of the meal for me, and my fiance was obsessed with the salad. Along with the recipes, Chef Andy also taught kitchen skills like knife work and building intuitions about taste as we're cooking. I would totally recommend this class to anyone who considers themselves a foody.

Madeleine

13 Dec 2023

I’ve taken other cooking classes before, and this has been by far my favorite. Andy made the experience fun and easy to understand. We learned so much about flavor, helpful tips in the kitchen, and most importantly - how it can be easy to make handmade pasta. Andy made his home feel like our own and we will for sure be doing another class in the future. This was the perfect birthday gift activity!

Daniel

09 Dec 2023

Chef Andy was absolutely amazing. He welcomed us in with open arms and was really excited to teach us. He made the atmosphere so relaxing and fun that we all became friends at the end of the evening. We met another wonderful couple there as well and we became friends with them as well and felt like we all knew each other for so long. Chef Andy makes it all hands on fun learning experience and teaches you some very interesting and fun things along the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone and we definitely plan on going back to him for another class in the future.

I brought my team in for a fun end of year activity and Chef Andy and his team knocked it out of the park. The mystery basket had our team excited to try each of the courses, we were taught technique throughout the night, and still had time for mingling and tons of laughter. In the end, the food turned out delicious and our group had an incredible night. I highly recommend Chef Andy for any of your team or friend/family activities!

Booked the "Kids Colorful Italian Creation" class for our family. The kids (ages 12, 10, 5) and my wife and I were all hands on and loved learning different cooking techniques. Chef Andy was great with making sure everyone was involved and having fun. Chef Andy was a great teacher and showed/shared his knowledge of food throughout the class. It was definitely a fun class to do and it was great seeing the kids enjoy tasting their delicious creations.

My husband and I had a FABULOUS time learning from Chef Andy. He has fantastic stories, and was able to help us hone in our knife and intuitive cooking skills - Chef Andy is a patient teacher and very supportive. The menu/food was delightful, and it was a perfect way to celebrate my husband's birthday. I've already recommended him to three friends, and can't wait to hire him for future classes! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely evening.

Marie

13 Sep 2023

We had a fantastic time! Chef Andy was very down to earth and personable. I was very impressed with how he not only taught us how to make the specific recipes, but how to be an excellent chef. He began the class with teaching us knife skills, showing us different cutting techniques and allowing us to practice on the various vegetables we’d be using in the meal. He taught us how to smell and taste the difference between different herbs and spices, and was excellent at showing and teaching without just taking over and doing it himself. He was very attentive without being invasive, and it made for a very well-paced and entertaining evening! I would highly recommend Chef Andy. The Argentinian steak, vegetables and empanadas were top notch and his ingredients were high quality, and he even gave us recommendations on where to buy everything. We’re already considering what meal and when we might boom with him again!

Michelle

Andy's class was awesome! My husband and I came from Oklahoma in search of help learning to make a great crust for our new pizzeria. Andy did just that. He explained the how's and why's of every step of the recipe. His apartment was squeaky clean. He was very welcoming and friendly. The neighborhood seemed very safe. We very much enjoyed his class, even my husband, who was skeptical. I would totally recommend Chef Andy and his pizza class to anyone and everyone!

Liz

23 Aug 2023

We loved our pizza and flatbreads class with Chef Andy! We learned a lot, had so much fun, and made some great food. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about cooking or just have a good time. We'll definitely be taking another one of his classes!

Chef Andy did an incredible job during our pasta making class. He was so welcoming and informative. He is a fantastic teacher; I really feel confident that I could make fresh pasta at home now.

It was quite an enjoyable experience with Chef Andy. First off Andy was there on time. All through preparation and serving of each course was handled with the utmost care. Each course was very tasty. Andy was also very engaging and fun to be with. He even cleans up very nicely. Best of all there were leftovers! Overall, Andy was as professional as can be. Would definitely consider doing this again.

I highly recommend Andy for this experience!!

We had a great team building event with Chef Andy, here's the some feedback from the Team members: Lisa - Chef Andy is very knowledgeable, fun, and made sure everyone is involved in the class and cared for. Michael - Chef Andy has a great personality and the cooking class was well-organized, and all of us with different levels of culinary skill learned something from the class. From an administrative standpoint, Chef Andy facilitated seamless communication and accommodation for our custom menu, even providing a vegetarian option for one of our team members. His thoughtfulness extended to sharing group photos with us at the end and ensuring that everyone had a great time. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Andy to everyone.

AMY

02 Jun 2023

Chef Andy did a wonderful job as an instructor and his home kitchen and dining area were well designed for the class and tastefully decorated. He provided excellent information and demonstrations about knife skills, prep tips, food safety and cooking styles. His kitchen, the appliances, tools and utensils were spotless and in good shape. We plan to make the turmeric chicken and grilled veggies at home - didn't realize we can grill the veggies without oil using a non-stick pan; appreciated using a small amount of oil mixed into the raw chicken with the turmeric before grilling. I've been enjoying Greek yogurt with blueberries, strawberries, pistachios and honey at home - great as a breakfast item or a light dessert as Chef Andy suggested. Thanks to the chef for a fun time - we learned a lot and also enjoyed meeting the other two people who took part in the class.

David

26 May 2023

Chef Andy lead our team building activity with 25 attendees and was a great leader on our pasta-making journey. Not only was the food delicious, but he gave us some wonderful tips and tricks on how to become better chefs with ease. He's a fun presence to guide a group, and I'm confident that we'll look to book with him again if we do this event another time.

What a wonderful experience!! Not only was Andy professional, fun, engaging and accommodating , but his culinary skills were outstanding! We chose the Chef's Surprise Gourmet Italian Fare as our "cuisine" and Andy did NOT disappoint! He maneuvered around our kitchen as if he'd been there before, provided an enticing explanation of each course, and with dessert, encouraged us to torch our own amazing creme brulee. We cannot recommend Andy highly enough!!

Highly recommend this fun and informative class! The Chef kept the class lively, comfortably walking us through the preparation while imparting fundamental skills along the way. I learned a lot and laughed a lot! We had a good group with 6 participants helped by two chefs. Food was yummy, and the BYOB meant good champagne for me! Class started and ended on time. I left feeling pleasantly full of both food and knowledge. I could make all these dishes again and feel confident.

Chef Andy and his sous chef :) are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We LOVED our introductory pasta-making class and cannot wait to try to make our own – tools already purchased. The experience was exactly what is advertised with a little real-world kitchen humor and fun. We would 100% recommend him for personal cheffing, and future classes. We are 100% looking forward to seeing them again soon!

14 Apr 2023

For my bachelorette party in Chicago, my friends and I had the privilege of taking a class taught by Chef Andy. It was so fun! And we loved the food we cooked. We ran late arriving, but he totally rolled with it and had us whipping up some yummy pasta in no time at all. With the music bumping (and even some party lights by the end) we really enjoyed the experience and dinner.

Emma

14 Apr 2023

Thank you for dinner!

Kelly

13 Apr 2023

We loved Chef Andy's class! It was our first time making pasta, and he made it such a fun and enjoyable experience while teaching us a ton along the way. We made two different types of pasta and the result was a hearty and delicious dinner. Chef Andy was a great teacher and also gave us time to work on our own and gain confidence using the pasta maker. The more intimate setting with a small class was the perfect way to learn and socialize at the same time. Thanks so much, Andy!

We had an amazing time with Chef Andy for our Pasta Dough Principles team building! What a great culinary experience! Chef was engaging, friendly, attentive and fun!

Anthony

17 Mar 2023

Chef Andy's sushi making class exceeded expectations. I've only attempted to make sushi one other time early on in the pandemic to develop new hobbies/skills and failed. Knowing what I know now from Chef Andy (and Chef Emily), I'm ready to give it another shot! Chef taught us basic knife handling skills, tested our palates, and, of course, how to make a simply delicous maki roll. Early on in our class, it was evident to us that Chef Andy is really dedicated to his craft; which was nothing short of passionate and made the entire experience immersive and all the more enjoyable. Chef's apartment provided all of us with plenty of room and the atmosphere was most comforting. Thank you for teaching us what to look for when we order sushi at restaurants, how to tell what sushi grade fish is, and for recommending the types of knives to buy without breaking the bank. We certainly look forward to signing up for future classes to dive into other cuisines. Thank you for everything!

Rachel Szucs

17 Mar 2023

Chef Andy's sushi class was fun, delicious, & informational. He's extremely knowledgeable about ingredients, techniques, & the food he's making, & I definitely left with a heightened appreciation of sushi & cooking. I would definitely do another class with him!

Anya

16 Mar 2023

Such a great experience! Loved the sushi class, this was a great birthday gift. Chef Andy was very welcoming and attentive, he found the perfect balance between explaining/demonstrating and having us try cutting and rolling the sushi. I especially appreciated that Chef Andy was open to questions and was deeply knowledgeable on all the food related topics we were interested in. We each got to make our own roll and nigiri, as well as tried quite a bit of sashimi. Left with new information and new skills! The atmosphere is cozy and the group size of 4 was perfect.

Chef Andy was wonderful! I booked this class for my boyfriend's birthday and we absolutely loved our experience! From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by chef Andy and his wife who helped out and made the night all the more meaningful. Another couple joined us in the class and it was great having extra company and getting to know them. Highly recommend this event as a gift with a loved one! Will be coming back for sushi making with Chef Andy! Thank you!!!

Chef Andy is very entertaining and personable. He did a great job of explaining the techniques as we worked our way through the meal. I believe anyone can feel confident using those techniques in their own kitchen after taking a class with Chef Andy

This was a great Friday night activity that was a nice change up from the typical dinner and a drink. Chef Andy is a very personable and down to earth person. The class is meant to be interactive and once we and the others participated it was a great time. Andy is clearly knowledgable and experienced, making the class very useful. We learned not only about sushi and how to make the rolls themselves, but also some knife skills and suggestions of how to find the best fish in the city. The class is also BYOB which is a cool perk and saves you some dough. All in all, it was a fantastic time. My girl and I will definitely be booking a class with Chef Andy again and next time will book the whole class with friends. Highly recommend!

Chef Andy and his wife Emily were very lovely and generous for opening up their home! The Argentinian Steak night was unbelievable experience and the quality of food was top notch. Pair that with your own favorite red wine and you will have a night to remember! 5/5 recommend!

Chef Andy gave us a great culinary experience! It was not only excellent instruction in cooking homemade pasta but he was also very engaging, attentive, and did a great job of having the group bond together. It was a great combination of technical cooking and entertainment. Also, it was awesome that he offered 2 pastas dishes in lieu of a dessert as my biggest interest was learning to cook not necessarily having a "complete" meal

Chef Andy was very friendly, knowledgable and engaging, He makes you feel right at home and you truly get the full experience. Our pasta was excellent and he taught us with ease. I will definitely be looking for another one of his classes.

Chef Andy was a pleasure to cook with. Andy and his wife are exceptionally down to earth. Cooking felt authentic rather than robotic. I would 100% do this again with Andy.

The class at Chef Andy's was inspired, fun and loaded with nuggets to upgrade our skills. Hubby and I have a few skills, and he didn't miss a beat to make sure we all had takeaways from the class. I am food restricted and he accommodated perfectly. HIs sous chef Emily is top notch too. Warm, pleasant. Our meals were a perfect valentine to each other. Highly recommend.

Chef Andy is not only knowledgeable, he’s entertaining too. I learned a ton and made for a phenomenal date with my girlfriend. Well worth it and would strongly recommend

Katherine

I didn’t realize this would be at chefs house but that’s probably bc I didn’t read the information. Being at his house, which was clean and cozy, it was like more personal experience. He’s very knowledgeable.

Cameron

01 Feb 2023

Very fun class. Anybody intimidated by trying to cook Chinese food at home should try this class. It's surprisingly simple but delicious and Chef Andy makes it a lot of fun to learn. It was a great date night for my partner and I! Highly recommend as the winter nights are cold and it's the perfect thing to do to get out of the house and still enjoy a home cooked meal.

Chef Andy is awesome. He is fun and entertaining, you will learn something you didn't know about cooking, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend participating in any of Chef Andy's cooking classes. I know I will be back.

Karen

Awesome experience with Chef Andy! We did the class as a Christmas present for 2 kids, ages 9 and 10. Chef Andy simultaneously engaged with 2 kids and 3 adults in a way where everyone learned new techniques and had fun together. In particular, Chef Andy taught us all knife skills tailored to each person's level. The kids also explored sushi and were able to create rolls they enjoyed based on their individual taste preferences. They also loved making the crepes and even had enough left for a special breakfast the next day. A very fun evening and would definitely do it again!

Annie

Wonderful! We had a fantastic time celebrating my birthday with Chef Andy, his beautiful Assistant (and spouse) Emily along with my adult kids and their significant other! Warm, welcoming environment in Chef Andy's home with delicious food preparation (and learned so much!) We made pasta from scratch along with creating appetizers and our own tasty sauces. 2 of our guests had special food requirements and Chef Andy handled those with no problem. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to have a fun time!

Katherine

09 Jan 2023

I purchased a Pasta Dough Principles class as a Christmas present for my husband. It was a class of 8 at Andy's place, which is kind of nerve-racking, but he and his partner were very kind and professional, as was the rest of the class. We took a moment to introduce ourselves, got right to cooking, and had some laughs. They directed us every step of the way. They were thorough and patient. Most importantly, the food was delicious. Overall, a fun experience!

Cassie

07 Jan 2023

My boyfriend and I joined a class and it was a lot of fun. Chef Andy teaches you new basics while making you feel comfortable about your skill level. I would recommend him for booking if you need a good date idea!

Chef Andy was fantastic and our group had a wonderful time experiencing the Pizza-making course. Chef Andy was very personable and funny. He made it easy for our professional, corporate team of 8 to let our walls down and enjoy ourselves. Chef Andy identified who had experience and who did not, and paired us accordingly. It was a great opportunity to not only learn culinary skills, but also to bond with our colleagues. The course had an array of nice ingredients. and Chef Andy walked us through the techniques and skills we would need to prepare the ingredients and make the pizza. Though a fun course, Chef Andy made safety a top priority as he taught us basic knife and culinary skills. Chef Andy's sous chef was also very well prepared and kind to our whole group. They made us feel comfortable to ask questions and have fun. The venue and demo kitchen were well equipped and suited for this course. We would certainly do a cooking course with Chef Andy again, and will be recommending his courses to our department for future outings! Thank you Chef Andy!

Cameron

09 Dec 2022

Chef Andy's class was not only informative and helped me hone some of my knife skills, but also a lot of fun and a great way to spend an evening if you enjoy cooking or trying new things. He's a great host with a lot of knowledge about food and sushi, and his passion really stands out among chefs. I will likely be going to another of his classes and bringing others to enjoy. And of course the best part, my personally made sushi was delicious!

Oviya

Chef Andy was an absolute delight to work with! I booked the class for my boyfriend’s birthday and it certainly was one of the best decisions ever! He not only taught us how to cook the Mexican spread but also gave us a glimpse of his family traditions by sharing how his grandma and mother cook. He was super fun to work with and we really appreciated our time together! 100% recommend! :)

Lainey

07 Nov 2022

Chef Andy and his team was great to work with! We had 30 people in to celebrate an 80th birthday party and Chef Andy did a great job with accommodating a variety of food allergies, while creating an excellent surprise box meal - he even made a special birthday cake or our Pipa! I would highly recommend Chef Andy for a corporate or family event.

Stephanie

This well thought out experience sets the bar extremely high for any future bookings with Cozy Meal. Chef Andy and his wonderful wife were absolutely amazing. You notice right from the start they are both genuine authentic people who really want you to leave with knowledge and skills you will use for life. Chef Andy was extremely attentive & patient. You can easily tell he gets enjoyment from seeing his students succeed. I plan on booking another experience with Chef Andy. I would highly recommend this class.

Chef Andy hosted my team for a group event, and we had a great time! We regularly do different group activities, and the vegan taco / mango margarita class was a big hit. The recipes were accessible, Chef Andy taught us pro tips along the way, and the tortillas are the best I've ever eaten! I would recommend taking a class from Chef Andy anytime ?

Leslie

Such a cute and wonderful experience! I really recommend this to anyone who wants to make delicious cooking accessible! Chef Andy is very kind, considerate, and funny. He's really good at welcoming guests to his home and providing a really warm and cozy experience. It's hard to make pasta from scratch and make it delicious but Andy breaks down all the difficult steps and makes it easy for you to do it on your own after. This was such a fun night for me and my guest and we're already planning to book our next class!

My boyfriend and I traveled down from Milwaukee to come to chef Andy’s class. This class exceeded our expectations in every way! Andy was very professional but still personal. Andy let us be independent enough but still was an excellent teacher and answered any questions we had. The food turned out delicious. We had a gift card from Christmas and this was such a good gift to receive and was SUCH a fun date night! It was worth traveling from Milwaukee. We cannot say enough good things about Andy and his class!!

What a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE we had! Our Exec Team from across North America had their 2nd annual in person meeting in Chicago and rather then go for a traditional 'dinner' I chose to let them engage in a friendly cooking competition. We had a blast. Andy and his team were engaging, witty, and amazing hosts. Highly recommend, a five star experience for sure. Andy accommodated our guests with food restrictions, everyone left with full bellies and big smiles! Thank you Andy, I know a few members on our team will be back!

My girlfriend and I received a Cozymeal class for Christmas and chose to do our session with Chef Andy. Chef Andy came to our house as a private chef and cooked dinner for us and it was a wonderful experience. Chef Andy explained where the items were from, what was in each recipe and was super personal. If you want to have an awesome experience I would recommend booking Chef Andy! They also allow for group experiences. Thank you again Chef Andy!

Thank you again and we really enjoyed itb

We had such a wonderful night full of jokes, good vibes and great food. Chef Andy was super attentive to our needs and made the experience of home cooking easy and comfortable. The venue was beautiful, the kitchen was well stocked and the dining area struck the perfect balance of romantic and cozy. We learned a lot about knife handling and how to properly appreciate the different flavors that go into a meal. All of the ingredients were fresh and we left stuffed and with leftovers! 10/10 would recommend!

His recipes were simple enough to recreate on our own, but the pasta and sauces were all absolutely delicious. We had a blast and can’t wait to book another class with chef Andy soon’

Jordan

30 Jan 2022

We had an absolute BLAST with Chef Andy! He was fun, professional, and we learned so much. He started by bringing all necessary supplies and getting comfortable in our kitchen - there was zero judgment on what our kitchen looked like, what we normally cooked with, or anything like that. By using our home cookware and appliances, we learned all sorts of skills to make repeating this meal accessible in the future! Some highlights: - Andy taught us multiple ways to stretch dough - He taught us different types of crusts and flatbreads - He made everything seem affordable: told us where to find ingredients, was flexible with what types of flour and pans we used, and didn't push us to need "fancy" brands or specialty tools - If we made a mistake, he showed us how to fix it and improve - Everyone got to get their hands in! - We had leftovers for DAYS! Thanks again to Andy for being such a joy - and thanks to your sous chef for the spotless kitchen when you left! We've already recommended Andy to several family members and friends, and we hope to book another class soon.

Lauren

28 Jan 2022

Chef Andy (and his lovely assistant) did a wonderful job making this experience special! I purchased this experience for my boyfriend, who loves to cook and has been talking about wanting to learn more techniques and tricks. We both had an amazing time learning about the history of the dishes we were preparing as well as the "science" behind cooking. Chef Andy and his assistant provided all the necessary utensils/tools needed to prepare the meal, and cleaned the kitchen once we were done with the experience! BONUS: we had more than enough for leftovers. I couldn't recommend this experience enough, and we'll definitely be booking with Chef Andy in the future!

My fiancée loved making her own pasta for the first time and I learned a ton from knife skills to making two different sauces. Chef Andy was well versed when it came to making a variety of different pastas as well as the history of these dishes and ingredients.

This was a surprise birthday present for my boyfriend. Chef Andy made his birthday fun and educational. He made sushi-making no longer intimidating. With the leftover produce and our new skills, we were able to make sushi on our own the following evening. Highly recommend to all wanting something fun to do that will continue to pay returns in the way of learned skills.

This was our second class with Chef Andy and it was awesome! He ensures what your making is tasty, something you can make on your own after his class and entertaining! The egg rolls were the best we have ever had and the fried rice was delicious! This is a must take class and both adults and children will enjoy the tasty food you make! Look forward to our third class with you at some point Chef Andy! You are amazing!

I got this class for my parents for Christmas. They LOVED the class! They loved how it was ran, how Andy explained everything, how easy it was to follow along, etc. My mom hasn't left the house (aside from doctor's visits) since June 2020 and this actually made her get dressed and act like a normal member of society, and she was happy about it (when she's usually grouchy). All that to say, thank you, they loved it!

Chef Andy was lovely but the class inexplicably started at 1:45 when all the scheduling says it was for 2pm. Another student came on late and was also confused.

Andy's pizza class was fun and delicious! He taught us several tricks - especially with garlic - and we all ended up with great tasting pizzas in about an hour. I would recommend this class to anyone who would like to learn how to easily make their own pizza. I love that Andy doesn't follow recipes but instead teaches techniques.

What a fun and unique birthday gift for my sushi loving girlfriend! Chef Andy is very personable and knowledgeable in sushi, knife techniques and just cooking in general. He explains every step and let you try it yourself before stepping in if you need some help. Highly recommend him!

We really enjoyed this class. Thanks a ton.

Cari

01 Aug 2020

What a wonderful experience! Today, my 12 yo son and I took Chef Andy's pizza class. This is exactly what we needed. What a great way to spend time with my kiddo (during quarantine), drag him away from his video games, and do something that we could learn together. Chef Andy was engaging, and made us feel very comfortable -- my kiddo was nervous to do this online, but quickly got comfortable and jumped right in to practice his knife skills. I'm now looking to see what else we can take. Could be great fun with the grandparents too!! Thanks so much, Chef!

Claire

24 Jul 2020

Really enjoyed Andy's pizza class. My husband and I have struggled in the past to make the perfect pizza base but after taking this class we have finally mastered it. Andy's techniques were excellent and easy to follow.

Janalee

30 Jun 2020

We took this class once we first noticed Cozymeal's online classes. Since that time, we have remade this over and over. Highly recommend this class. The results are better than most take outs and with a little preparation could be ready just as quickly.

What a fun, entertaining, and educational experience. Chef Andy was a great teacher and quite helpful to everyone. The food was outstanding and made for a high quality hands-on experience. Cool and unique way to celebrate a birthday! I highly recommend Chef Andy for any and all at home food experiences.

Gloria

10 Jun 2020

Class went too fast, hard to follow. On top of that, chef was keep asking to present my work by calling out each name. I was still working on it, my hands were not clean to interact with laptop. Also, I have a small kitchen. Need to clean as I go, but there was no time for that. That atmosphere was very stressful.

Daniel

08 Jun 2020

clear, concise, many ideas and short cuts.

Jordan

06 Jun 2020

That was way too much fun! Thanks chef!

Tracy

05 Jun 2020

Andy was awesome. Very personable, energetic. He made pizza-making seem quite easy and fast; learned something new for sure!

John

05 Jun 2020

He was nice, friendly and informative. I would have preferred to have gone over hand stretching out the pizza thinner to get the window pane effect on the dough, but on writing this I'm realizing that would have probably led to a lot of students ending up patching holes in their dough, and as it was everyone had a successful pizza. I think the level of techniques he was showing was appropriate for the mixed group of students. We had a great time, and he was accommodating to all the variations people were making (gluten free, couldn't source yeast, store bought dough etc)

Michael

03 Jun 2020

Andy was great! Thanks for the informative class this afternoon! - Mike

We decided to do this live virtual class with chef Andy. We were in 4 households and all of us really enjoyed the class! After the class, Chef Andy agreed to let us stay to visit with each other in a more casual way. The Asian Dumplings were delicious and we will certainly make them again. I highly recommend this activity as a way for families and friends to get together during this time of social distancing!

Andy provided a great blend of expertise and a laid back attitude to make for a wonderful night with friends. I am still surprised how he taught us to create the flavors with what appeared to be fairly basic ingredients. Highly recommend him for your events.

Kathryn E

07 Jan 2020

Chef Andy made learning to make sushi a lot of fun! He was good at demonstrating how to use the knives properly and then stepped back to observe my grandson using them without interference. But he gave him a ‘phone-a-friend’ option if he needed it! We really enjoyed our class and I highly recommend Chef Andy!!

Alex

05 Jan 2020

Chef Andy offered a great date night for my girlfriend and I. He was very personable, and made us feel comfortable throughout the evening (even as we messed everything up). Taught not only how to make sushi, but recipes, history, and techniques. Awesome experience and look forward to booking Andy again soon.

Words can’t describe how fun this experience was. Chef Andy was AMAZING & very personable - super nice. My friends and I can’t stop talking about it. I can’t recommend him enough, if you’re on the edge about booking this. THIS IS YOUR SIGN! Worth every dollar.

Debbie

27 Dec 2019

This class was so much fun. I gave it to my teen son for Christmas and he loved it. We both learned a lot and Andy is just great--passionate about food, friendly, personable and a joy to make sushi with! I highly recommend this experience.

Lisa

13 Dec 2019

Wow, Andy was amazing! If we could give him 6 stars or more, we would. Andy coordinated the perfect at-home anniversary dinner for my boyfriend and I (Mexican themed!). We made tortillas, tacos, elote, and flan-- plus he accommodated to our allergies when the original menu had shrimp. Andy was kind, on time, fun, and very talented. We learned so many tips and tricks that we'll be using moving forward and overall just had a blast! Thanks Andy :)

Paige

03 Dec 2019

Chef Andy was absolutely wonderful, fun, and personable! He made the sushi process easy and understandable for all levels. He really was a wealth of information regarding the sushi making process and other cooking techniques. I highly recommend him!

BEST TEAM BUILDING EVENT EVER! ...and Chef Andy was the reason it exceeded expectations. If you are looking for a place to get together, have a cocktail/soda, talk and bond as a team, learn some laid back cooking technique, and have an event that the whole group is talking about afterwards, THIS SHOUD BE YOUR CHOICE! We had a group of 13 for a corporate team building event, at the Wicker Park Inn venue (which is also ADORABLE!), a quick 15 min Uber from downtown. Our team did the Spanish Paella menu, but honestly I am not sure the menu choice matters much, as the experience of being there and entertainment/conversation/personality Chef Andy provides makes the whole event. Easy platform for communication, Chef Andy is incredibly responsive, even tailored our menu to dietary needs. 110% recommended.

Beth

18 Oct 2019

Chef Andy was fantastic! Personable, fun, informative. We really enjoyed our team building event!! HIGHLY recommend this type of event and Chef Andy if you are looking for a great team experience!!

Alex

10 Sep 2019

I booked Chef Andy for an anniversary night meal and he made it one to remember. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled and shared his love for cooking throughout every step of the night. The food tasted great and the 2 hours seemed to speed by. I would 100% recommend Chef Andy and will be booking him again the future!

Scott

Chef Andy couldn’t have been more professional, yet relaxed and friendly. It was truly an unforgettable experience and would highly recommend to anyone considering.

Terry

Chef Andy is the best. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had cooking. I highly recommend that you choose him as you cook, you will not regret it!!!

PETER

22 Aug 2019

Chef Andy and Ryan exceeded all expectations! I took a group of clients that couldn't have been more pleased. We made pasta and salad and from the minute we walked in Chef Andy made everyone feel comfortable. He was very helpful and explained everything we did in a way we could all understand and the end result was a fantastic meal and night. Highest recommendation for Chef Andy's class, I hope to hire him again

Janet

14 Jul 2019

What a wonderful experience! We learned a lot - making the flatbread dough, prepping the ingredients, arranging different toppings, and using fresh herbs - even expert slicing techniques! Fun, delicious, and insightful - we had a great time!

Karoline Anne

30 Jun 2019

I hired Chef Andy as a surprise birthday gift for my husband who likes to cook. Amazing! We learned a lot and the sushi was delicious (we made it!) Andy knows his craft, is super professional and really Fun! I recommended chef Andy to everyone that is looking for an amazing and unique experience.

Shivani

11 May 2019

I had booked 'Sushi Adventures' for our anniversary night with Chef Suarez in March 2019. Chef Suarez was communicative and arrived on time. He has a great sense of humor which made us very comfortable with him early on. He walked us through each step of the sushi making process and made it fun and simple. Needless to say that not only sushi turned out great but I also learned great techniques from him. I can never forget the great experience we had. I would recommend this to anyone reading this review.

Ethan

Chef Andy was awesome! We had the best time cooking with him. He was prompt, professional and so skilled. We will absolutely be booking him again!

Ashley

26 Apr 2019

Used Cozymeal & Chef Andy for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. I thought it would be a fun and unique experience - even more so than the usual cooking class with a bunch of other people. I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations! We had an amazing time learning and cooking with Chef Andy. He taught us some simple tricks for presentation and knife skills as well as cleaning and using our cast iron skillet correctly. The price is comparable to going to an upscale restaurant, however the experience is one you definitely won't forget. I HIGHLY recommend this for a date night, special occasion, family get together, or girls night. My boyfriend told me this was one of the best birthday gifts he's ever received. I will definitely be using them again and I've already told all my friends about Cozymeal!

Craig

18 Mar 2019

Chef Andy was great! We had him come to our house for the Chinese Takeout experience and learned how to make potstickers, fried rice, and kiwi pineapple smoothies. He was a great instructor who ensured we learned how to do each technique properly and the food turned out amazing!

Emily

14 Mar 2019

I had a wonderful experience with Chef Andy! I purchased the Pasta Dough Principals as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and it turned out be such an awesome experience! Chef Andy was prepared with everything we needed to make our delicious meal and taught us great skills that we (hopefully) won't forget! But, what my boyfriend and I loved most about cooking with Chef Andy were the conversations we had that made it seem like we weren't cooking with a chef we paid, but just cooking with a friend!

Kelly

03 Feb 2019

Our Pasta Dough Principles class with Chef Andy was wonderful! Chose this as a birthday surprise experience for my boyfriend and it was a very memorable night. Chef Andy and his girlfriend / assistant arrived right on time and were fun and informative. He was truly professional, and learning how to make pasta in our own kitchen with our own tools made us feel confident that we could do it on our own. Loved not only the recipes at hand but additional cooking tips as we went, and that they left our kitchen as clean as they found it. The food was INCREDIBLE. Recommending to friends!

Lexi

21 Jan 2019

I am 50 years old and learned for the first time how to hold a chopping knife correctly, very informative, very friendly, enjoyed his knowledge and his company, will be taking more cooking classes

Chef Andy was awesome!!! He came on time, ready to teach us with a great personality，very friendly and down to earth! He taught us so many great tips and tricks, I wish we took this class a long time ago! The class was so much fun with a relaxed, social vibe! The steak and chimichurri was delicious!!! Chef Andy was also really great in contacting me beforehand, and responding to my messages/ questions promptly. I am very happy we took his class - my husband had a great birthday!!! :) We definitely will refer this to our friends and take more classes in the future! Thanks again!!

Rebecca

We had a great experience with Chef Andy and his assistant. From the booking process to the actual class everything was very professional. Chef Andy arrived on time and ready to start with everything we needed to cook our meal . We loved actually being able to utilize our own kitchen and learn tips and tricks along the way to make our space the most efficient. Chef Andy was extremely knowledgable as well, he took the time to answer any questions and just made sure we were learning and having fun. I have taken quite a few cooking classes at different places around the city and have to say that this class was one of the best with lots of hands on and one on one attention. My husband enjoyed the class as well and we all shared quite a few laughs especially when Chef Andy called out my husband on using his favorite kitchen utensil ( a rice spatula --which he uses for cooking EVERYTHING). Thank you Chef Andy for helping me break that bad habit. HAHA!! Thank you also to your sweet assistant. We definitely will be looking forward to taking more classes with you.

Jason

11 Jul 2018

We had a great evening with Chef Andy making pasta from scratch (which required his excellent instruction) and enjoying the resulting meal—all while conversing on every topic imaginable. He had everything well organized and adapted to our smallish kitchen without difficulty. Thanks again for a wonderful time...

Booked the Flatbread Galore class and learned a lot with Chef Andy. He was very accommodating and is a wealth of knowledge about cooking techniques and tips. I found him very professional even though the set up was informal in our home. The class was both interesting and fun. Would definitely book another class with Chef Andy.

Kate

I surprised my boyfriend with a private cooking class for the two of us with Chef Andy. He came to our place for the Argentinian steak night meal. Everything was great - the food, experience, and Chef Andy. I would highly recommend this. Andy was knowledgeable, fun, and professional. It’s an entertaining and different thing to do.

Karen

05 Mar 2018

Chef Andy and his sous chef Adrianna made the whole experience informative and great fun. We would recommend them to anyone and are already discussing our next culinary adventure. We would be thrilled to have them back.

Zak

07 Jul 2017

Does the thought of making maki rolls and nigiri at home excite you? What about the secrets to a beautiful flan? Chef Andy makes it all fun and easy to learn! Full of energy as well as knowledgeable about food--this young chef will teach you how to turn an ordinary strawberry into a cool rose for garnishes, and even educate you on edible flowers and fresh herbs [he actually grows them at home!]. If you're looking for a fun evening, you don't want to miss this class.

Adriana

18 May 2017

Andy was exceptional!!! We asked him to develop an appetizer party for me and a few friends. He picked 4 appetizers and divided us in groups of 2. He demonstrated a demo on each appetizer and guided everyone through the whole process. I would highly recommend Andy for any cooking parties or cooking classes. We are definitely booking him from now on. Best experienced I have had. We learned a lot about other food as well. He was very knowledgeable about different types of food and techniques. I am going to take a pasta class with him for sure. He is well rounded In the food industry and a great chef instructor.

Kyle

18 Feb 2017

I took a cooking class when I lived in the United States in November. I am currently in Germany and still in contact with Chef Andy Suarez. I seriously LOVED his class. He was very professional. His nice personality made it easy for us to follow his instructions. Me and my few friends had a lot of fun learning new methods and dishes. Aside from his professional attitude. Andy made every single one feel special and like a real chef. I will definitely take another cooking class soon! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Steffi

25 Nov 2016

Andy was an amazing instructor. Not only was he super attentive, he was also very patient. He explained to us in detail how flavors work when spices are blended with certain type of foods. If I have any questions about a recipe , Andy is there for me to help. Andy is amazing! I highly recommend any of his classes. He is trained in multiple cuisines and techniques.
