My partner and I booked this class for a lunch date and it was a fun and informative experience. Chef Michael taught us knife skills, and let us handle all the cooking hands on so we can actually learn. Definitely book this class if you want a new and interesting experience for a date or hangout.

My wife and I took the classic french cooking class with Chef Michael in NYC. He was an excellent chef, very kind and patient with new learners. It was our 1st anniversary together and Chef Michael made our day very special. He is very knowledgeable in cooking from his experiences around the world and he knows a lot about healthy eating. Highly recommend Chef Michael for everyone.

We had a great time at the class! At first, we were a little skeptical because it was in an unfamiliar area in a closed restaurant. Chef Michael met us outside and led us to the kitchen, where everything was laid out perfectly. We brought wine, and he had glasses ready and poured it for us before we got started. He also offered us delicious cookies before we began. Then, we started cooking! We each made our own dish for each course, and Chef Michael was helpful but not too overbearing at all. The cooking seemed to go by very quickly because Chef Michael timed it all so well. He was also very fun to talk to about his travels, things he cooks, and favorite restaurants in the city.
Then, we ate. The food was DELICIOUS! And it was very cool to sit and eat in a restaurant being renovated - it felt very exclusive and cool. Chef Michael did not rush us and he did all the clean up while we ate.
It was overall a great experience and surpassed my expectations. Much more fun than a typical cooking class and very hands on.

Chef Michael gave my girlfriend and I a great, memorable experience. Both my girlfriend and I are semi-experienced cooks and Chef Michael still offered us many new tips and techniques for quick but delicious dishes. He was very personable and spoke with us after we completed dinner and olive oil, wine, and various cuisines around the world. Highly highly recommend.

Chef Michael is a really interactive instructor and definitely learned a lot from his class! The appetizer (Roasted Dates Wrapped in Bacon) was really simple to prepare but a really delicious combo. The Spanish roasted chicken had a lot of components and was filling and a good blend of flavors. Lastly the dessert was the perfect ending to the meal.

Chef was accommodating to dietary needs. My party and I enjoyed the experience. Wish it was a little longer but over all good. I thought there was going to be more hands on or techniques for everything, but instead, everyone did a little bit of everything. So instead of me learning how brown the chicken should be, I was cutting up apples instead. I wish the food was warm by the time we ate it. (Wasn’t as warm by the time we got to sit an eat)
Good experience over all though!
Dima

Chef Michael was a great host for the class. He took the time to explain the reasoning behind everything instead of just telling us what to do. All the food we made was absolutely delicious! Would definitely return for a class and highly recommend the experience to others!

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time learning how to cook with Chef Michael. It was a lot of fun making pasta from scratch, and the recipes were so delicious -- it was clear there was a lot of thought put into the menu. Chef brought all the ingredients we needed, and as long as you have pots and plates, you should be all set. Chef Michael is also fun and easy to talk to. A great experience all around. Would highly recommend!

Went to New York for the US Open and just happened to add on a personal cooking experience with Chef Michael. Left New York blown away by the cooking experience and was definitely the highlight of the trip. My date and I were the only individuals to sign up for the Taste of Southern Italy class, which made it even more intimate.
Chef Michael treated us to an evening full of Jazz music while offering up his personal experiences, tricks of the trade, and brilliant cooking methods. I am by no means a cook; however, my date loves to cook and had numerous questions that Chef Michael was more than happy/pleased to answer. It's not possible to 'geek out' enough in front of him, he takes everything in stride. He offered tips/corrections/food safety that was done in a non-condescending way making you feel completely at ease while in a professional kitchen, which can be intimidating. Everything was made from scratch, including the pasta (so ignore previous reviews that suggest otherwise). He personally made sure each of the wine glasses were topped off throughout the evening. The meal itself was incredibly flavorful. I honestly couldn't believe I had just prepared and cooked the meal I was eating, it was that good.
When the meal was over, and Chef Michael had cleaned up all of the messes/dishes, he continued to chat it up and encouraged us to stick around as long as we liked. When he states he does this for the personal experiences and interactions, he truly means it. Cooking with Chef Michael is highly recommended.

From the moment we arrived, Chef Michael created an unbelievable experience. Hands on in a professional kitchen down to dicing ingredients yourself, plating techniques and an open book of knowledge from world wide experiences. Showed how enjoyable cooking really can be and not sure how you can find a better all around evening.
Kathy
04 Sep 2018
Had a fellow foodie/home chef visiting from Australia so we decided a NYC cooking class would be great. We were in for a treat it was just the two of us in the class. Chef Michael was incredible, clearly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his love and experience with food from the world over. A very hands on class and we did everything (prepping and cooking) with a keen focus on honing technique under the skilled guidance of Chef Michael. Consider the 5 Star rating 'Michelin' Stars - best class I have taken and won't be the last of Chef Michael's - that's for sure!

Chef Michael was phenomenal. You could really tell just how experienced he was. He made sure we understood technique while he taught us and it wasn't overwhelming at all. He tested our knowledge in a very casual way and made it very easy to learn with him! It was a great time. I had an amazing first experience as this was my very first cooking class with CozyMeal. I will definitely be booking him again.

Chef Michael provided a great experience! My date and I were lucky enough to have a private session which was a great chance for us to ask Michael a ton of questions on his cooking experience and travelling in general. We are excited to practice the techniques he taught us in making the meal, especially the delicious risotto. We can't wait to come back for another class!
Olivia
11 Aug 2018
Chef Michael was fabulous!! We had a private class with him with just 2 people and it was a wonderful experience. I truly felt like I was learning techniques from him and he treats you like a real chef. Better than any cooking class I've attended in New York - what an experience! THANK YOU Chef Michael!!

I took my fiancee for her birthday and we had a really fun and memorable time with Chef Michael for his Greek cooking class. He's got loads of worldly cooking experience and really knows his stuff! We learned a nice variety of cooking techniques, from simple veggie prep to grilling fish and even baking filo dough.
As a couple that cooks semi regularly at home, we felt like this was a perfect skill level for the class. He's really thoughtful and you can tell he absolutely loves doing this, which shows in his enthusiasm. He was happy to answer any amount of questions and our whole group had a really great experience.
Would absolutely do more classes with Chef Michael/Cozymeal in the future!
Erica

It was really a fantastic course. It exceeded my already high expectations. I was really impressed by the Chef’s knowledge and ability to teach and explain to people who never cook(like myself). I came here for me and my girlfriend’s anniversary and had a really lovely time. The chef was super professional and was very nice, well mannered and accommodating. Thank you chef Michael. We will definitely be taking another one of your courses in the future.

Kate
31 Mar 2018
Chef Michael was extremely knowledgeable and did an amazing job managing 4 couples and getting us through a three-course meal in an hour and 45 minutes! He even had macaroons for us at the beginning, which I thought was a considerate gesture. The only reason I give this a 4 rather than a 5 was that I felt a little rushed and like he wanted us to leave at the end. I personally did not like the salad that we created but that may be just my preference. Over all, I had a great time and felt that it was worth every penny spent. The conversation with the other couples there was great, and I would recommend this to anybody looking for a neat experience in New York.
Emily
27 Mar 2018
We had a WONDERFUL experience learning from Chef Michael. He was professional, patient, and enthusiastic about his craft. We’ve all been to several cooking classes and kept saying how unique, personal, and relaxed this cooking class felt. Our food was delicious and we came home happy and full. The flavors were rich and the recipes were new to us but also not unbelievable technical - we all felt like we’d be able to replicate the recipes at home which was a great takeaway from this evening, too! We highly recommend this experience!!!

We had a great time learning Spanish cooking with Chef Michael! The dishes were easy to prepare and very delicious. We also got some good tips on cooking techniques and knife skills. As an added bonus, a pastry chef was in the same kitchen as where we were having the class and surprised us with fresh bread, croissants, and truffles. He even made my fiancee a birthday cake!
Kimberly

What a wonderful experience. I truly enjoyed working with chef Michael. He answered so many questions but didn’t make me feel worried about my skill level for a minute. We had a small group (2 couples), which was awesome. We made a delicious meal and broadened my horizon in terms of foods to cook with. I would recommend this for a date night or if you just want to learn more about cooking!

Had a great time taking Chef Michael cooking class! Definitely a good experience being able to cook in a commercial kitchen then enjoy the fruits of your labor within the restaurant. He keeps it simple so you can follow on your own at home...we've already recreated these dishes at home twice just a week after!

Chef Michael was very patient and taught us great tips to use in the kitchen. I had a great time learning and cooking with chef Michael . He's very laid back and funny and will make the class better. I would take another class with him again

We had such a great time with Chef Michael, he was very educational and fun. He did a great job of walking us through each step and answering all of our questions.

Chef Michael was patient and enthusiast. He took us through the paces and we made a wonderful meal together. The night was filled with laughter and learning. Cozymeal made it easy to contact us. Chef Michael made it easy to learn and enjoy. I would definitely do this again!

We came with a group of 8 people. While we all had a nice time, and chef Michael was very kind and welcoming, the learning experience was a bit of a disappointment. One menu item consisted of caprese, which literally required us to chop a tomato, basil, and mozzarella. The main dish was a pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe. We thought we'd be handmaking the pasta. Instead we just poured store bought pasta in the pot. This felt more like a cook letting you help them in the kitchen versus an actual cooking class. Enjoyable experience, but hardly a lesson.

Chef Michael is a knowledgeable and experienced cook. He taught us some useful tips and tricks for the kitchen and took the time to make the experience feel special and inviting. This was a fun birthday gift and the food turned out pretty well.

Chef Michael was a wonderful host and a great teacher. He is patience and willing to explain and answer any questions you might have. He loves to meet new people and share his experiences too! Awesome for date/couple nights out!

We really enjoyed the Italian cooking class with Chef Michael. He is a great teacher and I can recommend him to anyone who is interested in an Italian cooking class in NYC. Also, this class is a great idea as a date night or couples cooking class.

A perfect chef/host, Michael provided a fun night of cooking, eating and drinking. This is a great idea for a date, entertaining clients or just a fun night with friends. I will definitely be using Cozymeal and chef Michael again.

Chef Michael is a great instructor of Italian cuisine. His class focused on technique which I loved because we learned how to perfectly cook pasta and fish. The risotto was a standout for me with its rich and vibrant color and warming and delicious flavors.Â
