Unfortunately, I found the whole experience mostly unpleasant. I felt that Chef Chris may have been overwhelmed trying to take care of my group or perhaps just did not enjoy working with us. There were many times that the folks in my group felt like he was snapping at them and being rude and impatient. The entire activity was very behind schedule, and we ended up not eating dinner until well after the event was supposed to have ended. The actual cooking of the dinner was so rushed that the food turned out very poor. Because we were so behind, Chef Chris pretty much cooked the dessert by himself while we ate our dinner. Overall, both the experience and food were disappointing.

I hosted a private Holiday Party for my team (and their +1), we were blessed with Chef Chris! Everyone had a fabulous time and loved the experience. Chef Chris created a menu that was easy to follow and delicious. He made everyone feel comfortable contributing no matter their skill level in the kitchen. Amazing time…highly recommend it! Words cannot express how thankful I am for Chef Chris!

Chef Chris' class was very enjoyable! He had everything set up ahead of time so we could jump right into the cooking, but left time for questions and conversations along the way. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to spend some time together. The meal was delicious and he helped where needed to keep the experience fun.

What a great experience!! We were celebrating my wife’s birthday. Chris was early and had everything we needed to create a wonderful meal. He is a great teacher and took the time to teach us why we did something versus just having us do it. The meal, cooking and conversation made this an A++ experience. We HIGHLY recommend Chef Chris and plan to do another class soon.

I'm so sorry for the late response but I was determined to let it be known how much my daughter and I enjoyed the Savory Spanish Tapas! Everything was so delicious! Not only was the food good...but great tips were given as well!! Preparation was easy enough And it didn't take all day to prepare the different items. My daughter and I have made everything except the dessert which I'm going to be getting the ingredients to make it soon. I would encourage others to without a doubt sign up with CHEF CHRIS!

Our experience with Chef Chris was incredible! I booked a session with him for my girlfriend's birthday and she absolutely had a blast. From beginning to end, Chef Chris was friendly and knowledgeable in all the courses we were learning to cook. Every single dish was DELICIOUS and super easy to make! We also were treated with a nice opera performance by his talented hubby. 10/10 we would recommend anyone that is interested in doing something fun, interactive and in search of a cute date idea.

We had a blast learning new cooking techniques with Chef Chris and eating all the delicious food we made. He gave us great instructions and demos and then let us do the work. Chef Chris was so kind and personable and really helped us to learn new techniques. It was a great activity to do with friends or to meet new people. Thanks for welcoming us into your home!

This class was great, but moreover, Chris was just a delight. We talked all evening long about an array of topics. We cooked a great Korean meal, and his home was warm and welcoming. What a wonderful way to end my birthday.

Julie
06 Apr 2024
We enjoyed our evening. The food was terrific, and Chris is an excellent teacher. As a couple attending the class in the chef's home, the experience was probably different than it would have been at our home. There, the focus was on the learning and doing; in our home, there might have been the added element of 'dining,' including wine and table setting.

Gary Marchuk

We had a great experience!! It was so much fun to learn some new dishes, learn a little about Italian cooking, while socializing with our good friends. Chris was so much fun to get to know, and to have in our home, and he added to the experience. The food was excellent. Preparing the various dishes was educational and enjoyable. We highly recommend this experience , it is a very unique to be part of the cooking process, rather than being served. The best testimony I can give is that we would do it again.

Deb

Chris did a great job....very personable, knowledgeable. Food was very good. Suggestions would to involve participants in the cooking process versus just prep, eat the meal with us and provide recipes for the food we prepared. The class was well-paced and relaxed.

My wife and I got this service as a gift and didn't know what to expect from this experience but it turned out really nice. Chef Chris brought all the food and gear needed to make our home a French Bistro for the night. Chris walked us through the menu and gave commentary along the way as he produced some great food. He was awesome about cleaning as he went but finished cleaning every thing before he left. Overall it was great night night.
Ezekiel

Chris was great! This was our first cooking class and he provided a wonderful atmosphere for me and my husband, plus two additional couples. He timed everything well, was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any question or explain something again. We did an Italian meal and it was fabulous from top to bottom. Picking Chris is a great choice!

Class was great- right balance of hands on learning and getting to eat! Chris was fantastic. I especially appreciated that he applied techniques that could be replicated at home, without having to buy new gadgets. Food was delicious. Also felt like class size was appropriate; nice group.
Zohar
31 Aug 2023
We took the "Homestyle Korean Favorites" lesson.
It was a great experience. Chef Chris is a great host and teacher. The food was amazing and easy to make at home. He is also a great person to talk with.
I recommend improving the atmosphere, like background music which matches the meal. Maybe something to drink (wine or cocktail).
We will be back for sure.

Iris
09 Jul 2023
Wonderful class with Chef Chris today! My adult son and I had a great time and our ravioli was absolutely delicious! Chris was calm, patient, and a great instructor! The session wasn’t rushed at all. We enjoyed that the class wasn’t a large number so that it felt very personalized for us to receive guidance and feedback, as needed. We were able to show our progress with the pasta dough and also finished ravioli. Chris did a fantastic job of having the camera angled for our observation of his working with the food prep but also would put the camera on home I’m self to talk to the class. AWESOME! I’ll definitely participate with Chef Chris for more online classes!

Our dinner with Chris was fantastic! The food was delicious (and plentiful). His knowledge of all things Italy and Italian cooking is great. We would follow him on a cooking/eating tour in a heartbeat and would have him back in our home again. The experience was top notch!

Scott
14 May 2023
Chris was friendly and knowledgeable, and the meal we prepared was excellent. However, despite repeated attempts, he has not provided copies of the recipes as promised. No seating was provided, so we had to stand for 3 full hours, including while eating. The kitchen space was minimal and would not be suitable for more than 2 participants.

Laurel

Chris was awesome and the food was delicious! We learned how to work with flavors and ingredients we would not normally use, so even more advanced cooks can certainly benefit. Loved that you get the recipes afterward so you can recreate at home! Highly recommend!

Chris was very punctual, fast to communicate, and professional. He even rescheduled for us the day before because we booked the wrong day! Here’s what to expect:
1) Amazing food that is super fun to watch Chris work and talk with. Top chef quality.
2) Chris is highly trained chef and incredibly knowledgeable about food science
3) Chris brings all supplies that he needs and will clean up after
10/10 recommend, which we have already done so to most everyone we know.

My son and I really enjoyed our time with Chef Chris. He is extremely knowledgeable about the ingredients and cooking methods as well as the regions different food sources are grown and harvested. It was a delicious meal and fun time spent bonding over tasty food!
Thanks Chef Chris!
Michael
15 Mar 2023
Chris was a real treat. He’s a humble and extremely knowledgeable teacher who, you can tell, really loves his craft. Yes, the food was amazing, but we really just enjoyed peppering him with questions around the “why” we used certain ingredients or prepped foods in certain ways. He knows much of the history and culture behind the recipes and how specific ingredients or preparations add to the success of the dish. This was a very enjoyable anniversary gift for my wife and I.

Great experience. Great customer service. Great conversation, learned about the dishes and most importantly great food. First time user of cozymeal and will definitely use Chef Chris again.

We had a blast! It was well organized, and just the right amount of “work”, but mostly just enjoying the food and company. Learned some stuff, loved the singing, and would recommend Chris.
Brooke
06 Feb 2023
Chef Chris knows his stuff and made things simple from the moment we arrived. Four other guests were there, so dinner was a collaborative effort and tons of fun. The courses were simple enough but Chris showed us the proper way of holding a knife, kneading pasta dough, frying zucchini and more. We hope to take another class soon!
Fawn
04 Feb 2023
We were welcomed into Chef Chris’s house and all the ingredients were set up. The small class was intimate and friendly. Chef kept us focused with clear instructions to create an incredible cooking/dining experience. Fresh ingredients, intimate atmosphere, knowledgeable chef = great experience. Highly recommend this for couples and/or good friends.

Very good and enthusiastic. Really good explanation of flavours and how they work together (or not). As a suggestion, it would have been good to have 2 cameras, one on Chris and one top down on food as it's being prepared/cooking
Thanks

We loved the fresh and elegant ingredients, and he graciously shared many of his tips and recipes. With his background as a culinary educator and personal chef, I'd highly recommend Chef Chris for a private dinner or a team-building event!

Jacqueline

Unfortunately getting the ingredient list took many requests and all of the participants felt the chef was a tad impatient at times making us feel rushed. This was odd because the chef was late starting, and we only had downloaded 3 of the 6 custom recipes (I think they were not all uploaded at the same time so we missed the last 3). However, it was still an enjoyable experience. Chef Chris’s dish looked great tho.

Great experience learning to incorporate wine in my recipes. Enjoyed having Chef Chris explain more about the recipes; for example, best to use fresh herbs with the roasted grapes; how to best toast the bread for the appetizer; options instead of double boiler. He is definitely hands on and prepared to make the recipes with his participants. Highly recommend his classes.

Kyya
04 Apr 2021
Chris went well over the time the course stated and not because we were busy cooking the entire course. Over an hour was wasted listening to his partner sign (not necessary when we're here for cooking) and him just randomly talking. He seemed ill-prepared for the course.
Christopher
03 Apr 2021
We very much enjoyed the event, which was a little hard to keep up with at times (meaning, Chef went a little fast), but that's probably cause this was out 1st virtual cooking event and our own prepartion may have been a little lacking in some areas. I love the fact that I now know how to make pasta, and I love the Panzanella Salad - I make my own croutons all the time - they're delicious - this is another thing I loved learning how to make. We are better for the experiecne cause we learned so much. Thanks!

Angie
27 Feb 2021
This has been a really frustrating experience. I've been trying to communicate with both Chef Chris and with the Cozymeal customer service team for a week and a half, trying to get a credit for a future class - I'm not even asking for a refund! Chef Chris initially offered me a different class date that didn't work for my schedule, and after that he said he'd get back to me... but I never heard from him again. The customer service people said that it's up to the chef, and shrug their shoulders. I've given up on getting a credit. It feels like they're more concerned about keeping customers' money than making sure they are happy with their class experience. I probably won't book another class through Cozymeal, and it definitely won't be with Chef Chris.
Lisa

Our cooking class was a first time, shared, and unique experience w/ our five kids, who gave it to their mother as a Christmas present! We enjoyed the class and our time together and learned some new cooking skills and tricks. Chef Chris was most accommodating, knowledgeable, personable, patient & responsive to our questions and needs, especially as sometimes things could move a little fast and grandkids could intermittently distract ?. After our 2 hr class, we continued our family evening virtually for several hours, enjoying the culinary fruits of our labors and each other. We have all agreed to do it again! Thank you Chef Chris, you were great!

I signed us up as a birthday present for my husband who loves to cook. Although he had made a good chicken marsala in the past, he was excited to learn a couple of new tips from Chris. He enjoyed it so much, he made it again for breakfast the next dat!
Amanda
12 Feb 2021
My husband was so displeased with this “class” that it’s ruined our Valentine’s Day. For example, Chef Chris didn’t follow his own recipes and people said why are you doing this? His response was just “Oh I should have updated it”. For the Classic Tiramisu he totally made it wrong! My husband followed exactly how he did it. Their products looked the exact same. BUT Chris never beat the eggs until a stiff peak or even separate the eggs! He left the eggs a soupy yellow puddle. So our tiramisu is a soupy squishy mess of jello. There is literally no way to save it and make it edible. The cookies are no longer of any shape and have disintegrated into a puddle. Honestly, I feel like some guy who lived in Italy, who thinks he’s legit has NO idea how to cook! And the opera...one three minute song. Wow!
Jean
12 Feb 2021
Chris was very professional and personable. He was able to handle our vocal group.

My family had a fantastic experience taking a virtual cooking class with Chef Chris in celebration of my mom's birthday. The menu was phenomenal (chicken marsala/flourless chocolate cake/crostinis), and Chris was so fun to chat with and learn from! Chris is super knowledgeable and really takes the time to educate you on the various ingredients as well as the regions from which they originated - we learned so much more than just how to prepare the items on the menu! I have been singing Chris' praises all day to my friends and coworkers, and we will definitely be booking another class with him!
Carolyn
08 Feb 2021
Chris was very informative kind and patient with us. He interacted well with all of the classmates and made us feel welcome. We will look for other sessions with him. My friend was here from Texas and we will invite others to cook virtually with us. Thank you Chris!!

Jennifer
01 Feb 2021
Chris did a good job coaching everyone through the steps, answering questions, and also keeping the session moving along at a good pace. It was a little confusing that the recipe was labeled as Tortellini Filling but we made lasagna.
I did not at all care at all for the chocolate cake - ended up eating two bites and tossing the whole thing. Perhaps something lighter to follow the hearty lasagna would better round this meal out better.

We really enjoyed this fun, delicious cooking class. It was very helpful that we had all of the ingredients pre-cut/measured as we would have scrambled to keep up. Chris was awesome about sharing his wisdom and answering questions. Highly recommend the class!

We had a great time, and Chef Chris was a wonderful teacher! The class was well paced, it was very interactive, and we were given great ideas on how to stretch the recipe further in the future. We will definitely be taking another class soon!

This was a great class. We made two delicious tiramisu's in under 90 minutes with Chef Chris. Along with lessons on making these wonderful dessert, he offered lots of goods tips that can be used on many other recipes.
Rebecca
15 Jan 2021
Very nice. Easy to follow. But one complaint. It said traditional tiramisu. Well in cooking instructions says whip up egg whites separately. I feel it would make the tiramisu thicker. He just had us throw in whole egg and mix. He explained he tried both ways its fine
But it is not what i paid for. I wanted to it correctly. I havent tasted it yet. I am disappointed he didnt use the recipe provided.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the zoom class. It was so cool! We met people from across the country and Chef Chris was excellent at keeping the group on track and on time. We were schooled how good our food turned out. We learned great cooking tips and will definitely make the recipes in our own again. The opera experience was amazing, such talent. Dinner and a show right from our little apartment...very cool.

PAUL
31 Dec 2020
Chef Chris was great! He was friendly snd wTm snd his instructions were clear and easy to follow. I think the ingredients needed should have been more clear
Instead of “dark Choclate” for example the ingredient list should have said “chocolate chips” because that was in fact what was needed. Also , the basic lust vs optional extras should also have been made mire clear. We were led to brluevr we needed heavy whipping cream when in fact that eas not kart if the lesson snd it was an optional extra
BTW Iveould take another class with Chef Chris in a heartbeat
Diana

This class with Chef Chris was educational and fun! One thing I learned was it is best to crack an egg on a flat surface to reduce the shells in your dish. He gave easy to follow instructions and was encouraging all questions.

Chef Chris is a great teacher!. We had a very full class for ravioli making and he was able to manage questions from a large number of us, checked in on progress and also spent way more than the allotted class time to ensure we all got through the recipe. We've taken two classes from Chef Chris and would definitely recommend taking a class with him.
Julie
23 Dec 2020
This was our 2nd class with Chef Chris. Our daughter Sam who made the ravioli by herself impressed both her parents. They were better than any store or restaurant we have had. I highly recommend cozymeal and Chef Chris for getting today's kids involved in cooking.
peter

Everything about the Italian Opera Night was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and chose to cook together with Chef Chris. Everything we made turned out wonderfully and Chef Chris was a patient and knowledgeable instructor. Never have we ever made our own pasta before and I was able to create the meal again tonight so the knowledge stuck!!! Also the music...amazing...please share our gratitude for that extra gift as it really made it a memorable night!

He was very personable and explained the process well. My screened said "host muted you" at the very beginning & I couldn't ask questions. Basically watched a video and I texted Sara (host) with questions. Some gorgeous people never left the screen with their 50 questions. Hmmmm......

It was generally enjoyable, but was hard to follow at times. He went pretty quickly and some of his instructions were a little unclear (amounts, whether to split the dough/filling in half, etc.)
Kathy

So fun! Thank you!
Karen
20 Nov 2020
Chef Chris was very kind, and for the most part patient with our group. My review is mainly due to the lack of information we were provided around the ingredients and how to prepare for the class. Unfortunately, the list that we were given did not include some key ingredients, like a butternut squash or parsley which ended up being crucial for the dish we were making. On top of that, it would have been nice to have a clearer idea of what we could do in advance to prepare our ingredients for the class. It seemed like it would have been easier to have pre chopped squash, garlic, and other ingredients. I found that I had to leave several ingredients out of my recipe because I simply didn't have time to chop them.
Holly

Chris was very skilled to teach this class and he was fun to work with! Perfect for tired and burned-out professionals who want to focus on something enjoyable. He was very interactive and I picked up on new tips to enhance my skills at home.

Chef Chris was awesome! The entire 3-course meal was so thoughtfully prepared from easy-to-source ingredients and yet it was one of the most delicious dining experiences we've had. We also picked up a couple of awesome kitchen tips (cracking eggs, chopping parsley). The musical interlude by Chef Chris' husband Todd was an awesome addition. Will be making this recipe again and again :)

Deborah

1. Excellent Marsala recipe and instructions
2. Loved the Crostini recipe
Chris is friendly and engaging.
Improvement areas:
1. Reduce the number or recipes. I didn't make the cake so felt like a more relaxed pace (Last time I did 3 recipes). The time is too short for one person doing a full recipe (3).
2. I have also noticed that in both my classes the Chef did a single portion of the entree recipe so the time required for him to complete is less. In the future I will do the same. I suggest that you note the options in the instructions.

Chef Chris was great; he shared cooking tips and tricks as well as some wine history to go along with the dish! We had measured and prepared all of our ingredients ahead of time yet there was certainly time to do the prep and measuring along with Chef Chris during the class (which lasted just under 2 hours). 100% recommend as a fun and engaging quarantine activity!

Chef Chris paces his class very well, is patient (doesn’t mind repeating or slowing down) and gives good tips as well. Even though we aren’t gluten free, it’s great to have some go-to gluten free desserts when we need to accommodate others’ dietary restrictions/preferences. We’ve already signed up for another class with Chef Chris! Thanks!!

The chef was also incredible. Chris was incredibly personable and fun but also extremely informative and patient. I appreciated the description he gave to each step so we knew what to look for or feel for in our meal prep. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed and couldn't believe how fast the time flew by. He definitely has a teaching style that was easy to follow to get incredible results.
I am so glad that I have found Cozymeal and the online classes. As someone who loves to cook and learn new recipes, it will be something I visit again.

The class was great. Liked doing it with my isolated neighbors. Fun, relaxed, well instructed. Loved Chris's positive style. I was concerned that my ravioli did not look like his and were squishing out the sides but it did NOT spill out when cooked asd was great. Cooked the ravioli and then just mixed with fresh tomatoes, basil and a bit of oil...GREAT TASTING. I used the leftover scraps to make great thin noodles.

My girlfriend Michele and I did the class yesterday. Chef Chris was great in his directions and in showing what he was doing. He answered all questions with patience. I am fairly new to cooking and usually stress unduly. This was relatively stress free despite some mishaps on our end and very productive. The meal was great and I look forward to other classes. Thanks Chris
Michele

We had a great time. My partner is just starting to cook and we assumed we would divide the work, but I sprained my hand and he had to do everything. And he thoroughly enjoyed it, too, said he can see us making fresh pasta again. Great instructor. great menu and a geographically diverse group--another plus. Thanks!
Dana

We took an online ravioli class with Chef Chris and had the best time. He was patient, knowledgeable and detail oriented. There were 12 couples in the class and he made sure to give each of us individual attention and answered all of our questions.
The online class was a great way to bring friends and family from all over together and we plan on doing another one very soon. It was also a lot better than just streaming a video as the interactive aspect makes all the difference. Thanks Chef Chris!

If you’ve never taken a cooking class before, I highly recommend Chef Chris! His class was simple but made a delicious meal. Making our own pasta at home is much less daunting after a lesson from Chef Chris. The class was a anniversary gift to my boyfriend and he loved it.

26 Aug 2019
We really enjoyed our experience with Chef Chris. It was an intimate setting for 6 people, so even when one person handled one part of the meal execution, everyone could learn from it. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and could answer all our questions thoroughly, so we learned a lot. I also like the style of teaching where we're not taught to just follow a recipe, but instead taught to cook by scent and taste. The one recommendation I have is that because we started with making the dessert first and didn't get to the appetizer until later, we didn't have anything to eat until about 1.5-2 hours into the class. I understand from a meal prep perspective it made sense, but we were pretty ravenous by the time we could munch on the appetizer. Maybe some cheese and crackers/bread at the beginning would help, or start with the appetizer dish? Still we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and plan to return again. Thanks!

This was a great experience for me and my co-workers. I don't really like tomatoes, pasta, or coffee, YET I ate everything single thing we made because it was absolutely delicious. I never knew how good home made bruschetta, spaghetti, and tiramisu could taste. He broke the recipes down so well that I feel confident I could go home and do all of it myself. I learned so much from him and can't wait for our next class with Chris.

We did this for a Girl's Day Out and had a BLAST. Such a fun experience. We learned a lot, the food was delicious and enjoyed an afternoon of fun conversation. I would absolutely cook with Chef Chris again.

Myself, my wife and another couple decided to do this for a fun date night. While we did have fun, we did not cook. In fact we did not "Cook" a single thing. We cut all of the vegetables up for Chris to cook. It started with him making a couple types of salsa. Unfortunately, he only had about 20 tortilla chips for 6 people. We couldn't eat the salsa. There was a little awkwardness with an AIRBNB guest ordering Uber Eats as well coming through the area we were in. Finally, to making the Flan, it was already made. We were told we didn't have time to make it. In my opinion when you sign up for a "Cooking Class" you "COOK". The 6 of us did not touch a cooking device and dessert was premade or purchased. The appetizer was useless as we had not way to eat it. BTW we were told that the recipes would be emailed to us the day after. We have not received anything since.

Cooking with Chris was a great experience... From the cooking, the conversation, the atmosphere and overall experience... Everything was phenomenal. He gave us a great experience and an amazing memory. He definitely knows what he is talking about and we plan to cook with him again.

My wife and I had a great time cooking with Chris. We learned some history about where the dish originated and the nonna’s who made it. Great fun! We will do it again.

Chris did a fantastic job in accommodating our group for a special birthday celebration. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and welcomed our merry band into his home for a truly memorable evening.
The dishes he selected were thoughtfully curated - not too quotidien, but also not too complicated that we couldn't replicate - and each dish had a story behind them. I would definitely recommend the orecchiate menu option to anyone interested in a simple yet flavorful dish!

Chef Chris was VERY knowledgeable about his craft and educating us on the food, preparation and even the rich history of the food’s origin! He was very courteous and patient with those who do not cook, a lot; and guided us through several hands on tasks, ensuring that we enjoyed the event. He even took care to ensure our dietary needs and the BEST part was that the outcome was a delicious meal our team enjoyed eating :-)
We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend for professional and personal events.

Chris was a revelation. We went into this experience not knowing what to expect and were so happily surprised. Had no idea a cooking class could be so much fun! He was part of the experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable, and great company. Along with this the food was incredible. Suggest a million times. Will go again and bringing friends.

Chef Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and so friendly! You can tell he is passionate about what he does and it shows in his skills, how he teaches, and the food! We had the best date night in taking his cooking class - I would recommend him to anyone!

I husband I had s wonderful time. So much so that when it was over I was surprised the time had passed. The food was fun to make and my husband stirred something on the stove. Miracles really do happen. This was a Christmas gift from my husband and he got a lot of man points. It was a great gift. I look forward to doing it again.

This was a great experience! Would not hesitate to book again. Delicious food and Chris was so helpful and personable. I've taken a few cooking classes in the past but this is the first one that has inspired me to go out and buy new kitchen equipment in order to replicate the delicious food we had.

The whole experience was like being at your friend’s kitchen and being taught to cook.
Chris was warm from the moment we walked in and made us feel at home.
He lets you do the work which was very important to actually learn the process.

I can't think of a better date night than getting covered in pasta dough -- learning how to make ravioli and tortellini from scratch. The food was delicious and Chef Chris was awesome. I can't wait to eat more of this fresh pasta.

This has been the third class with Chris that I've attended and -- unsurprisingly -- another winner! The history of the region where the food originated in addition to the dishes themselves were incredible! It's so much fun to meet and cook with people who are as enthusiastic about food as Chris. Do yourself favor and take this class :)

Chris is the BEST! I left the class feeling like all the recipes were something I could recreate at home (I also left incredibly full!). I can't wait to make the broccoli rabe pesto and homemade pasta ASAP. And the focaccia. And the dessert. Basically--everything. I encourage EVERYONE in Atlanta to take Chris' class and not only did I learn a lot but I also had a great time. I attended the class not knowing anyone, but Chris made sure we were comfortable with the new people. We all had a great time. Can't wait to do it again!

I just took a tortellini-making class with Chris. I absolutely loved it! Everyone was so friendly and supportive and the food was absolutely divine. Chris really breaks down each step into manageable parts so it doesn't feel overwhelming or too complicated to replicate at home. Taking this class with Chris was one of my favorite things I've done in Atlanta. First of all, the food was AMAZING. Chris is an exquisite Chef. Further, the instruction he provides is very straightforward and clear. I was even able to recreate it at home without feeling overwhelmed and anxious! That's huge for me, since I often feel very afraid of my kitchen. Everyone who attended the class was friendly and supportive. I highly recommend going to his classes if you want to feel more comfortable in the kitchen and if you want to eat a lot of extremely delicious food.
