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.

Mariah R.

02/16/2025

Chef Shelley was really nice and kept us busy. There was a lot of education on the food and I learn a lot on how to season and purchase of food. She was very professional and fun. She kept us laughing with stories and getting to know us all. The experience with booking was great and very easy. I love the communication on cozymeal between the chef. It was very easy to have access to her if we had any questions or concerns. I enjoyed the cocktail and Emily in Paris French theme meal. It was delicious and would love to come back. We felt at home!

Tasha B.

02/15/2025

Delicious and fun!

Ashley R.

Chef Justin was incredible! We had a wonderful experience with him. He was kind, knowledgeable, and very interactive. The amount of food we got was awesome and we’d love to learn from him again!

Elizabeth K.

The experience was great and I learned a lot. I do wish we had had some written recipes that we could bring home.

Rachel P.

02/14/2025

My boyfriend and I had such a fun experience with this sushi class! Chef Justin was kind and patient, guiding us through various sushi-making techniques. He thoughtfully accommodated my allergies, ensuring the menu was both gluten-free and dairy-free. Everything was well-organized and timely, and most importantly, the sushi we created was absolutely delicious! I can't recommend Chef Justin enough for anyone looking to try their hand at sushi making skills!

Brandon C.

02/13/2025

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.

Hervie M.

02/12/2025

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!

Aiden D.

02/11/2025

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.

Brandon B.

Great food, great experience!

Sharlena D.

02/10/2025

We had a fantastic time with Chef Shelley! She was extremely pleasant and the food was delicious! She showed us how to turn the dishes into our own! Chef Shelley showed us how to use great fresh ingredients and clean eating. I will definitely be back. The guests were amazing as well! We will be BACK.

Food has been at the heart of the human experience for millennia. For as long as humans have gathered. food meant life or death for the community, and sharing food cemented the common bonds that eventually became society. Chef Gustavo uses this as a preamble for an evening with Peruvian cuisine. He spends time with each student discussing the ingredients and how to properly prepare them. When everything comes together with the proper flavors, temperatures, and presentation, it is a work of art you want to savor with your eyes before you start nibbling at the edges. But the Chef is not at all imposing. In fact, he is accommodating to everyone gathered around the table and respectful of their abilities and their backgrounds. There were seven of us and we all fit comfortably around the table. Everything was just right, and it was an enjoyable evening.

Sarah E.

02/08/2025

We had a great time and learned several new cooking techniques. Highly recommend!

Ariana M.

Chef Justin was wonderful! He is very nice, clean, and so prepared! We had a wonderful experience learning new cooking techniques. We made a cucumber-seaweed salad and several different sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. He also brought matcha ice cream for us to enjoy later. We loved this experience and definitely recommend!

Krystal Hill .

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.

Natasha T.

02/05/2025

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!

Lucy Q.

02/03/2025

This was my 2nd time with Chef Gustavo. He always puts on a unique experience that is unforgettable. I love that we learn so much about the history and culture of the dishes we're making, and his dishes are approachable and ones I will make at home. His kind, welcoming personality makes it so great.

Peter B.

Awesome experience! Chef Li was a great host and teacher. The food was delicious. She explained each ingredient and step of the cooking process which was a great bonus.

Delanie B.

01/25/2025

I hosted a cooking class at my house, and it was such a fun, laid-back experience! The instructor kept things casual and made it feel like cooking with friends. We learned great recipes and had a blast. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed, enjoyable cooking experience!

ANGELA B.

01/19/2025

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!

Kathleen G.

This was such a fun class! My husband and I are so into soup dumplings and we walked away really being able to make them ourselves. And Chef Li was a fantastic host who made us feel welcome in her home and ready for a fun dinner party!

Daniel C.

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

Michelle F.

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!

Mark S.

01/13/2025

Chef Li was the consummate host! Her home is beautifully decorated and warm, and the kitchen is just the right size for a group to encourage interaction without bumping elbows. I learned a lot - not just how to read from a recipe, but the instincts to have and the things to look for to make the dish really pop! I would highly recommend this class.

Pete Z.

01/12/2025

Justin is fantastic. Punctual and prepared, he facilitated a great birthday event of sushi making for my wife with our friends at home. Highly recommend and we will be reaching out to Justin again in the future.

Dawn D.

01/08/2025

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!

Ben G.

01/05/2025

The Thai cooking class was absolutely fantastic. Unlike other cooking classes, this one didn't require fancy technical skills or kitchen appliances that you were encouraged to buy. All the ingredients are easy to find in the area, so you can easily replicate everything at home. Chef Made also answered every question we had and provided recommendations for different spice levels and proteins that work for the sauces we made. He was also very laid back and just really pleasant to learn from. I would HIGHLY recommend the Thai cooki g class and any class led by Chef Made!

Julie L.

12/24/2024

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.

Jeff Y.

12/21/2024

Fantastic class! Chef was personable and showed us how to make several Thai dishes. We had a great time.

Matthew G.

12/20/2024

Chef Justin was great! He really helped make my wife’s birthday special. He also contributed to me trying sushi for the first time and I enjoyed it. He was very personable and turned this novice guy into an honorary sushi chef. I’d definitely recommend his services and my wife and I are already planning our next event with him.

Vincent S.

12/17/2024

Four of us (two couples) took Chef Li's "Chinese Soup Dumplings" cooking class, and we LOVED IT! Chef Li is warm and engaging, fun, and clearly loves to to teach and even just to talk about cooking. We brought our own wine, and Chef Li provided everything else. We did the class at Chef Li's home, which is very nicely set up for small cooking classes like ours. The preparation was loads of fun, the food was delicious, a great time was had by all -- and we all agreed that we will take more cooking classes with Chef Li. Bottom line: you will NOT be disappointed!

Lynn K.

12/15/2024

I read all of the reviews before booking and I was not let down. Chef Guatavo is very knowledgeable about cooking and the different cultures that feed into his dishes. He is very passionate and shares that passion with the class and is open to any questions you have. I could not recommend him enough.

Mark N.

12/07/2024

We were a group of eight. From the moment Chef Shelley greeted us until we left almost four hours we were laughing, cooking, talking, and encouraging each other. We learned how to cook amazing food, enjoyed the beverages of our choice, and had an enjoyable evening that we will do again. Chef Shelley is a true inspiration, and I highly recommend you sign up for one of her courses!

Patricia K.

Gustavo was a warm and lovely host. We had such a fun time and the food was delicious.

Chef Shelley's Gullah Cooking class was great. She is very welcoming and personable. The class is casual and interactive. We learned some new recipes and techniques and also about the cuisine. And the food was very tasty! Highly recommend.

LaTorie j.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting Chef Tiffany in my Air BNB during my visit to Virginia, and I must say, it was an unforgettable culinary experience! The chef prepared one of my daughters' favorite meals that exceeded our expectations. And the salad dish was expertly crafted, presented beautifully, and the chicken and waffles were bursting with flavor. Chef Tiffany was punctual, courteous, and respectful of my kitchen space. Her attention to detail and organizational skills ensured a seamless cooking experience. The chef maintained impeccable cleanliness standards throughout the cooking process, leaving my kitchen spotless. I highly recommend Chef Tiffany for any private dining occasion. Her exceptional cooking skills, combined with her warm and professional demeanor, made for a truly memorable evening. Would I book again? Absolutely! Thank you Chef Tiffany!

MaryBeth M.

11/15/2024

Justin was just the BEST! He accommodated our change in time very easily, came with everything we could’ve wanted or needed, and struck the perfect balance between teaching and exhibiting his expertise. He answered all our questions, allowing us to feel prepared to identify authentic, quality sushi at any restaurant we may go to now. Service included more sushi than we could finish! The surf and turf roll was so unique and absolutely delicious. He was respectful, light hearted, and just great company. We’re already looking to have him back ASAP.

Adrianna S.

If I could give Chef Made 5,000,000,000 stars, I would!! The food was delish, he made the instructions make so much sense and answered our annoying questions so that we could make it by ourselves. 10/10 recommend this class!

Emma S.

We had such a great time at this class! It felt like we had a private chef teaching us about Thai cuisine and then we also got to eat a delicious meal. Thank you so much Chef Made Master! We had a blast!
