We had an amazing time at our cooking class. Chef Jordan was a great instructor and made us feel welcome in his home. The food we made was delicious and we had left overs to take home. The booking and communication process through cozymeal was easy and smooth. We look forward to booking more classes!

Such a fun experience! I bought the Thai Cuisine Fundamentals class with Chef Jordan as a birthday gift for a good friend. We had an wonderful time cooking with Chef Jordan, who was super easy going and a great teacher. We learned some great cooking techniques and best of all the food was AMAZING! He walked us through what seemed like very complicated recipes and made them very approachable – we’ll definitely be making them on our own. I would definitely recommend taking this awesome class.

We thoroughly enjoyed Chef Jordan's cooking class. He is an amazing chef who taught us to cook the most incredible Thai dishes as he warmly welcomed us into his mountain home...a gorgeous setting for a cooking get away. This is a splendid young man who is passionate about food, nutrition, and bringing his gift people who care about GREAT food. Take a beautiful drive his way and enjoy the breathtaking views and enjoy a wonderful meal on top of a mountain!

My husband and I want to give a shout out to Chef Jordan W. . We had such a fantastic time with my sister-in-law and brother for Karla’s birthday. We learned how to prepare and cook the menu from the Thai Cuisine Fundamentals. We not only prepared a fabulous meal....we learned various knife skills, learned about various new vegetables, oils and even how to prepare perfect brown rice in the oven. Our evening was filled with laughter, so much joy and passion for cooking. I loved that all I needed to to get ready was to set the table and arrange some flowers for the table. Chef Jordon was terrific, knowledable and loves his profession. He does all the shopping... tells you where he gets his ingredients so you can prepare the meal again. I was so proud to have given this as a birthday gift. It was a huge success. Thank you again Chef Jordon and Cozy-meal. You left us 100% satisfied!

My family’s experience with Jordan was nothing short of excellent. We had hired him for the Thai Fundamentals cooking class at our house as a 60th birthday celebration. He was on time, prepared with all ingredients, recipes etc.. The class was fun and he walked us through every step of the three dishes. The food was excellent, the soup especially was a hit among the family. Further, Jordan was fun to talk to and helpful in giving general cooking tips and advice. 10/10 experience overall. I would recommend Jordan to any friends or familt who are interested in learning more about cooking.

What a great time! We made SO much delicious, healthy, organic, colorful, Thai food! Chef Jordan was so friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and fun! Also he will customize the food to your preferences which I thought was so nice since I tend to be pretty picky. I despise cilantro and it was supposed to go in everything we made or at least on top as a garnish but he let us skip that step. Thank you so much! Haha. I know that not all chefs will let you change their recipe so I was thankful he was nice about it. He let us pick some fresh mint, tomatoes, peppers and passion fruit from his garden before we went home! So awesome. Thanks for teaching us cooking novices countless things about cooking yesterday!

What an amazing experience for a birthday celebration! Jordan is an excellent teacher with a great kitchen and garden. We will definitely be taking more classes from him!

This Thai cooking class was to celebrate my wife's birthday. Chef Jordan was incredibly welcoming and friendly. His flavors were spot on, and he had just the right amount of hands-on involvement and culinary tips for varying skill levels--my wife (advanced) and me (basic). I would strongly recommend this experience to others, and the setting for the class has a beautiful view with lots of ingredients (herbs/vegetables/fruits) produced on site.

My husband gifted me the Thai Cuisine Fundamentals class for our anniversary and we had such a great time! Before our class, Chef Jordan reached out about any food allergies and was kind enough to cater to my wheat and dairy restriction. Upon arriving at his beautiful home, Chef Jordan greeted us with a friendly smile and took us over to his kitchen where he had all of the ingredients displayed. He asked us what type of music we liked and I love listening to "French Cafe" songs while I cook so he turned it on for a relaxing mood. We made three dishes: Tom Kha Gai Soup, Thai Coconut Yellow Chicken Curry and Fresh Spring Rolls with a yummy Thai Peanut Sauce! Using fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch was so fun to make and eating it was so much better. You could really taste how fresh the ingredients were. Everything was loaded with flavor and pretty healthy, too! Chef Jordan did a great job teaching us knife skills and walking us through each recipe. One of the best things about the class was that we were able to eat A LOT! We made so much food that we were able to get second (even 3rd) helpings as well as pack some for the road. We brought a yummy Sauvignon Blanc with citrus notes that he recommended would pair well with the meal and it tasted great! He also took us on a mini tour of his garden to pick out fresh herbs for our spring rolls. Chef Jordan was very organized, friendly and professional and made good conversation throughout. Since it was just me and my husband, it was a very nice and intimate experience. He gave us the recipes to take home along with some grapefruit and passion fruit from his yard! We really enjoyed our time learning how to make this yummy 3-course meal. The next time we decide to do this again, I’d love to invite a bigger group with us to enjoy this fun experience! Thanks again Chef Jordan!

We had such a fun time with Jordan! Not only was the food amazing (some of the best Thai food we’ve had and we’ve been to Thailand), but he taught us some great cooking skills. The ingredients he brought were also very high quality. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present for my boyfriend. Can’t wait to book again!

Large group of 15 people crowded into the Community Center in La Jolla. I was very impressed with the whole experience. Set up and flow of the evening was perfect. Thai was a huge hit even though I was nervous about people not being interested in Asian Cuisine. Chef Jordan was spot on with his directions and teaching regarding knife skills, food prep and plating. Great Job Chef Jordan and support staff. We have a blast.
