We booked a cooking class with Chef Washington to celebrate my husbands birthday, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The moment we stepped into his home, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed, setting the tone for a fun and engaging evening.
The class was well-organized, and we all split into different stations to learn different parts of an authentic home-cooked Southern meal. The hands-on approach made the process enjoyable for everyone, whether you’re experienced in the kitchen or just learning. Chef Washington’s passion for cooking was evident, and his sous chef, Jane, was equally fantastic—super personable, helpful, and a great addition to the experience.
The food we made was delicious—each dish had that perfect balance of cozy, home-cooked comfort with the quality you’d expect from a-restaurant. The flavors were rich, and every bite felt like true Southern hospitality on a plate. It was the kind of meal that warms your soul. From the perfectly seasoned proteins to the indulgent sides, everything came together beautifully, making the experience even more rewarding.Not only was the food delicious, but the entire night felt like a perfect mix of learning and fun. It was such a unique way to celebrate instead of just going out to dinner.
The home was clean and inviting, and the overall atmosphere, along with chefs dog Charlie made the experience even better. We absolutely loved our time and would do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for something different, engaging, and delicious to do with friends, this is it. 100% recommend!

The experience was absolutely wonderful. Chef Dean was welcoming, helpful and so friendly. It was almost surreal to have a private experience with such a revered local chef (he has framed newspaper and magazine clippings from his restaurant days on his walls). Our experience was hands-on, with Chef Dean guiding us through dumpling folds and pan flips. He was patient and helpful as we learned many new skills. The little touches (custom printed menus, modifications for my allergy, beautiful table arrangements) instantly elevated the evening. For a first Cozymeal experience, Chef Dean set the bar very high. We have already started to browse more classes that he and other local chefs offer.
