Private Chef - Best Bistro Bites

Great date night! Chef Benoit was friendly, funny, and a fantastic chef. Our group cooked meal was fantastic to enjoy at the dining room table.

Delicious and fun!

I planned this for Valentine’s Day and it was great. An intimate environment and a great way to meet people in the area. The food was great and the ingredients were fresh, I would highly recommend Chef Benoit.

Attending a cooking class at Chef Benoit's cozy home was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, he was not only skilled and knowledgeable but also warm and accommodating, making us feel at ease. The ambiance was perfect—romantic and jazzy, setting the tone for an intimate and engaging evening. Every dish we prepared was delicious, but the highlight for me was the Apple Tarte Tatin—absolutely divine! If you're looking for a hands-on culinary experience with a talented chef in a charming setting, this class is a must-- just bring your wine! Highly recommend!

We decided to book Chef Benoit for a Valentine’s Day dinner/date. My partner and I came in with different cooking abilities and both found the experience enjoyable! Chef Benoit prepared a delicious menu that was easy to follow while still exposing us to French cuisine and techniques! He was easy to talk to and was happy to answer any questions we had about the process. Overall, a very enjoyable time if you are looking to learn more about cooking and eat a lovely meal afterwards.

My recent Cozymeal experience with Chef Benoit was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped into his warm and inviting home, I knew I was in for a memorable culinary adventure. Chef Benoit’s expertise shone through as we embarked on the delightful task of creating an exquisite meal. We began with a delicate and flavorful tuna tartare that set the tone for the evening. Following this, we prepared tournedos of beef filet accompanied by a rich and savory oyster mushroom fricassée. The potatoes au gratin were perfectly creamy, while the green asparagus added a vibrant touch to the palette of dishes. To complete the meal, we baked pommes au four, which were a delightful and sweet conclusion to our feast. Chef Benoit's culinary mastery was evident not only in the delicious dishes but also in the invaluable food prep and cooking tips he shared. I left the event feeling fully capable of replicating the meal on my own, a testament to his teaching skills. His friendly and approachable demeanor made the cooking class enjoyable, while his deep knowledge of culinary arts provided a rich learning experience. Additionally, Chef Benoit’s ability to accommodate last-minute dietary restrictions was commendable, demonstrating his flexibility and consideration for his guests. This aspect, combined with the overall quality of the experience, positions it as an excellent option for team-building events. Receiving this experience as a gift was truly special. The meal not only turned out fantastic, but it was also delicious, showcasing the high standard of Chef Benoit's culinary talent. I highly recommend this Cozymeal experience to anyone looking to enhance their cooking skills or simply enjoy a wonderful meal in the company of a talented chef.

Chef Benoit’s class went above and beyond our expectations! We learned so much. Benoit taught & demonstrated new concepts, but then he let us make everything ourselves, so we truly feel like we’re equipped to make this meal (and others!) on our own. The food was incredible — I can’t believe we were able to make so many delicious dishes in only two hours! We will be back to try Benoit’s other classes for sure. Thank you!

Chef Benoit’s Elegant French Meal class was a delightful experience! He was kind, polite, enthusiastic, and welcoming to the class. He is not only an excellent cook but also an outstanding teacher! The class focused on French cuisine. Chef Benoit provided each one of the participants with a hands-on experience, one-on-one instructions on properly cutting the fish and vegetables, preparing a delicious sauce, and mixing ingredients, among other important details. He carefully explained each step of the process to create a tasty and delicate three-course dinner menu. The end result was a delicious dinner elegantly served by Chef Benoit in the cozy ambiance of his home. I had a pleasant, fun, and enriching experience! I learned a lot and greatly enjoyed Chef Benoit's class! I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in having a nice, enhancing culinary skills experience!

Great learning. Great food. Great company. Learned a lot without having to do to much. A fun and relaxing evening.

We had a great time at Chef Benoit’s! The food was delicious and it was a nice balance of cooking and enjoying. Very friendly and had everything organized and ready when we got there. Would recommend!

Today I celebrated my birthday with my daughter at Chef Benoit’s home. Him and his wife were very inviting and made us comfortable from the time we arrived. He was very accommodating by making changes to the original menu due to my diet restrictions, although it was last minute changes, everything turned out delicious!!! I would definitely recommend him for all cozymeal first timers or returning customers!! Thanks Chef Benoit for an amazing birthday meal!

My teen son and I had a wonderful time! We weren’t sure what to expect; it was a pleasure to meet Chef’s family and hear about his experiences as a professional chef, while we prepared delicious desserts. His delightful hospitality was a warm addition to our holiday season, and has inspired my son to explore more creations.

Chef Benoit's Elegant French Dinner class was incredible! The menu was thoughtfully created and paired together perfectly! Chef Benoit was so warm and welcoming and was an excellent instructor with great tips on technical skills and plating the dishes! I would highly recommend a class with Chef Benoit!

I highly recommend this class! Chef was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. We had a fun time learning the dishes and he answered all of our extensive baking questions.

C'etait fantastique. Le chef etait tres amical et chaleureux. It was a wonderful experience. The chef was friendly and great to work with!

Chef Benoit recently came over to cook for us for our 5 year anniversary and he was spectacular. We had the escargot, beef bourguignon, and chocolate soufflé. He also recommended a wine to pair with it. It was all amazing!! We have two little ones, and he was very flexible with starting a little later so the kids could get to bed first. We got to chat with him for a bit and learned he has 40+ experience of cooking around the world. His food was delicious and we would definitely love to eat with him again!! Thank you for making our anniversary so special, Chef!!

Chef Benoit orchestrated a fantastic meal and we learned a lot along the way!

We had a phenomenal experience with Chef Benoit! The food was amazing and I feel like I learned a lot about French cuisine and how to prepare it. Beautiful table and atmosphere to enjoy the meal too. Cannot recommend enough!

A truly great experience! Chef Benoit was a wonderful teacher, I’m an avid cook and he still had so much to teach. His home was beautiful and we made food I can’t wait to try to make again. Highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity.

Chef Benoit is pleasant, patient with his learners, and a fantastic chef! We look forward to his next visit!

It was amazing

He was great. The food was great. Super nice and easy to work with.

We attended Chef Benoit's 'Perfect Pastry Skills' class as a team building event for 4. It was a really great time! We learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and the desserts were excellent. Highly recommend!

This was our first cozy meal experience and we took our mom here for her birthday. It was a fun experience where we got to learn some fun new tips and tricks from a professional chef. Benoit was very welcoming and engaging throughout the night and my mom had a great time.

Chef Benoit has great knowledge and passion for his country's cuisine and if you, like me, love French food this experience cannot be missed! His enthusiasm is infectious and spurs you on to produce the tastiest dish possible .....amazing!
