About The Business

Cozymeal is a platform that provides culinary experiences including cooking classes, private chef services, food tours, and corporate team-building events. The company connects individuals and groups with local chefs and instructors offering a wide array of gastronomic activities.

The cooking classes feature diverse themes, ranging from specific cuisines like Italian or Japanese to techniques such as baking or sushi making. Classes vary in skill level and participation style, catering to beginners and those with some experience. Options include hands-on instruction where participants prepare dishes themselves, as well as demonstration-style sessions.

These experiences are designed for different occasions and groups, such as date nights for couples, family activities, and larger corporate gatherings for team building. The platform lists various class durations, though single-session classes lasting a few hours are a common format offered by instructors. Pricing varies based on the specific class and instructor.

Avoid Gather & Forge – My Experience with Their Private Chef Services

September 12, 2025

I don’t usually write negative reviews, but I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else avoid the same mistake.

I hired Gather & Forge well in advance to provide a great private dining experience for guests I had flown in from across the country—two nights in a row. Both nights were a letdown.

The chef showed up 45 minutes to an hour late each night.

The food wasn’t hot. It came out lukewarm or even cool.

The quality of the meal didn’t justify the price. Honestly, I’d say the value was maybe 60% of what we paid.

I gave them plenty of chances to make it right, but they had no interest in doing so. As much as I think Brandon (the chef) worked hard, the overall service just didn’t live up to the cost or the expectations.

Bottom line: Gather & Forge is overpriced, underdelivers, and doesn’t seem to care about customer satisfaction. I really wanted this to be a great experience, but I would never use them again and highly discourage anyone from booking them for private chef services.

Fabulous venue for events & Italian cooking classes!

August 25, 2025

Our BYOB wine group had an amazing experience Saturday night at A Taste of Milan in the Southside with Chef Sidney and Katie! We learned how to make home made pasta and enjoyed her family recipes handed down from generations! Truly beyond 5 stars and it was a magical evening! Thank you Sidney and Katie
