Booked the event Asian Fusion Culinary Challenge with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
We did the cozymeal cooking class (Asian fusion) as part of our team building activity. It was very fun and interactive. We learned so much about the different dishes, Chef Dirk and his assistant, Max, were also very friendly and funny! They had fun giveaways as well. The food was delicious. We were a group of 14 and it was just a new and refreshing way to have dinner with your colleagues apart from the traditional business meal dinner. highly recommend. They provide aprons for you but we brough our own company branded aprons.
Booked the class Pizza in the Oven with Chef Mordechai
Chef Motti was amazing - he arrived with everything needed to jump right into the class. We asked for more focus on making the pizzas vs the other recipes, so he brought those delicious dishes already made. The toppings he brought were top-tier - two different tomato sauces he made from fresh tomatoes, homemade bechamel, three cheeses, fresh herbs, sausage, vegetables, etc. We dove in to hands-on sessions where he taught us about making two kinds of dough and forming the pizzas. Then we all learned how to get them in and out of the oven (we used our wood-burning Ooni and the electric one he brought). My husband had been having challenges in our Ooni with the dough sticking to the peel when putting them in the oven and topping falling off when he removed them, and Chef gave him tips on preventing that and recommendations for better tools (I had bought an Ooni brand perforated peel and it didn't get enough of the flour off the bottom). We made sooo many pizzas, so we got a lot of practice, and had leftovers to feed some hungry neighbors later on. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon spent chatting, cooking and eating - our teen boys even enjoyed it. We look forward to finding another excuse to cook with Chef Motti!
Booked the event Interactive Italian Pasta Making with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
Highly recommend taking a class from chef Dirk. We were celebrating a birthday and had an amazing experience. We took the interactive pasta making class. Chef gave great instruction , was patient and at the same time fun!
Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
Gluten Free Dumpling Delights class taught my friends and I how to make dough for steamed dumplings with ground chicken, veggies and spices and we also used rice paper for a lightly fried veggie with chickpeas and spices roll. We assisted making these rolls. Chef Parsati showed us how to make the sauces for them. We also made a chocolate, mango dessert with coconut flour and cardamon spice. We all really enjoyed the flavors of the hot foods. Chef was friendly, knowledgeable, social and helpful. Class was held in her home kitchen. She did prep work before we began and she cleaned up after we left. The table was preset for our meal. It was a lovely experience.
Booked the class Classic Italian With Modern Influences with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
Our third CozyMeal class with Dirk. Italian this time. We love his energy! He’s both informative and entertaining!
Booked the event Authentic Flavors of India with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
We prepared Vegetable curry puffs with mango chutney, chicken korma and potato korma, saffron veg pulao, potato salad, Qawami seviyan dessert. I booked this for one of our team building event. And team build we did. It was great to step away from our desks and learn Indian cooking with Chef Parsati. I wish we had more time since I was really looking forward to learning how to make garlic naan. It would have been good to have a soux chef to share a bit of the teaching/talking/cooking. A team member said - "I had such a wonderful experience at this cooking class. As a first-time participant, I immediately felt welcomed and included. The group was highly engaged, and the chef did an excellent job of making sure everyone had a role in preparing the meal. The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire experience reminded me of cooking with my family, where everyone had their own task to contribute. At the end, we gathered together to enjoy the incredible meal we had all helped create. It truly felt like home, and I can't wait to attend another class"

Booked the class A Feast by the Mediterranean Sea with Chef Mordechai in San Francisco (Mission)
We had such an awesome class with Chef Moti! He came to our apartment and was so organized with the recipes and needed equipment that we didn't have. The Mediterranean food we made through his guidance SO delicious, truly some of the best med food I've had (and big portions, enough for leftovers :)). He was very accommodating with dietary restrictions, collaborating with me to come up with a menu that worked for our group. He created a fun atmosphere that my family all enjoyed, we shared laughs and stories of life. He taught us cooking techniques that I'm excited to take into our everyday cooking. Overall, our experience exceeded expectations. Thanks, Chef Moti!
Booked the class Coastal Mediterranean Cooking with Chef Lorenzo in South Bay & Peninsula (Emerald Hills)
We had a most enjoyable cooking experience last night with Chef Lorenzo. He put us to work prepping much of the food and supervised as we cooked. He talked me through how to cook octopus which he brought to the house already cooked purely in the interest of time. I kind of hoped the octopus salad would be the top item for the night. It was. An added feature was that as we dined on the dishes he had us make, he washed the dishes. Wow! Five stars out of five for Chef Lorenzo and his Med. cooking class! Rich in San Leandro

Chef Parsati's skill in cooking and teaching is only matched by her enthusiasm. The entire experience was wonderful from learning new cooking techniques, to the conversation, and of course the food was incredible. She has a wealth of knowledge both in how to make excellent food, but also how to cook in an accessible, healthy way. I'd recommend her classes to anyone looking for a great cooking class and overall experience!
Booked the class Italian Family Dinner with Chef Lorenzo in East Bay (Pleasanton)
You need to improve your communication. I became very apprehensive when I sent 3 messages via your website to the chef and no answer til the afternoon of the day before the event. Then he shows up 25 min late with no forewarning. Very embarrassing and cause of anxiety for me. Lorenzo was charming, very knowledgable about the food prep and cooking, very fun. I did give him a tip as he was leaving.

Booked the event Creative Cooking Challenge with Chef Roddy in San Jose (Campbell)
The classes were great! Everyone loved both classes. The service and food were too notch. The only thing I wish was that there was more competition, as it was billed as a competition team building experience. Otherwise, every single person (all 34 people at 2 separate events) absolutely loved it and are stilll raving about it from weeks ago.

My friends and I booked Chef Polly’s Korean Food Essentials and it was phenomenal! She was so sweet and funny! She created such a warm and inviting environment!!

Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
An unforgettable, cozy family experience! We took this gluten-free dumpling cooking class to celebrate my and my daughter’s birthdays, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming—it felt like being invited into a friend’s kitchen. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making sure everyone (including my husband and our two sons) felt involved and confident. The dumplings were amazing—so flavorful and authentic you’d never guess they were gluten-free! We learned so many tips and tricks that we can’t wait to try at home. What really made the class special was how cozy and personal it felt; we laughed, cooked, and shared a truly memorable experience together as a family. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on, and delicious experience—especially if you’re gluten-free or just love learning to cook something new. We’ll definitely be back for another class!

I can see booking these with other groups within the office.
