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 class Vegan Dinner in Tuscany with Chef Maggie in East Bay (Oakland)

The Vegan Tuscan experience was exceptional! I bought it for my husband for the holidays as a gift and he loved it.

Sharlene L.

Booked the event Custom Pizza Essentials with Chef Lorenzo in San Francisco (Fisherman's Wharf)

Chef Lorenzo was great and extremely accommodating! We did a class with him for 30 people and food was great!

Maggie Y.

Booked the class Pizza in the Oven with Chef Mordechai in South Bay & Peninsula (Mountain View)

Chef Mordechai is amazing. My pizza making cooking class with Chef Mordechai was the best cooking class I ever had. The class is fun and very hands on. Chef brought a lot of extra materials for everyone to have plenty to practice and nailed the techniques and everything tasted amazing. Chef also agree to show us how to use my own wood burning pizza oven and share lots of tips. I will definitely recommend this class to everyone!

Allison A.

Booked the class Vegan Dinner in Tuscany with Chef Maggie in South Bay & Peninsula (Menlo Park)

This was fun, informative, and delicious! Maggie made a custom menu for us and was extremely positive and accommodating. She was extremely professional and prepared, and she was totally unfazed by our rather small kitchen. Highly recommend!

Rich F.

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

Ilyes T.

Booked the event Custom Pizza Essentials with Chef Lorenzo in San Francisco (Fisherman's Wharf)

It was good !

James L.

Booked the class Vegetarian Cooking Adventure with Chef Roddy in San Jose (Campbell)

Oscar, our chef and Oscar his sou chef were ready and waiting for us as we were the only couple to enjoy the vegetarian class. They spent time, energy and knowledge with us in an intimate, personable and patient manner and setting. It was great! We learned, tasted and sipped our way through our time and then enjoyed the meal they and we had prepared. We left with well packed extras and great memories.

Erica M.

Booked the event Custom Pizza Essentials with Chef Lorenzo in San Francisco (Fisherman's Wharf)

We had so much fun at Chef Lorenzo's class! The food was great and tasted so good after a long day of work. If you are considering booking, I would highly recommend. Make sure to bring your own wine if you are interested in having some for your event, there is a wine store nearby if you need to make a trip. Will be booking this again for future team events!

Barb H.

Booked the class Signature Italian Cuisine with Chef Lorenzo

He was a wonderful chef. Explained all the preparation of the dishes. He also told us a little bit about the history of the dishes, and he was very personable. He was easy to understand, and we very much enjoyed the experience we would not hesitate to book another experience with him. He responses to text messages and is knowledgeable. Barb Hantsbarger

Beverley H.

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.

Antonio B.

Booked the class Fresh Stuffed Pasta with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

We had so much fun and learned so much with Chef Daniel. My wife and I went to his pasta making class and it was great. The space is neat and prepared for cooking and he guides you step by step. Very thoughtful and well prepared. We'll definitely do other classes with him.

Kayla T.

Booked the class Handmade Pasta Workshop with Chef Doug in San Francisco (Mission)

Our experience with Chef Doug was fantastic! Not only was the food amazing, but he was wonderful company to have over for the evening and he left our kitchen cleaner than it was when he arrived. We can’t wait to try the recipes he left us again and can’t recommend him enough!

Evan S.

Booked the class Handmade Pasta Workshop with Chef Doug in San Francisco (Nob Hill)

Chef Doug was amazing. The recipes were delicious and he was very hands on in the lesson. He was also extremely friendly, and made great conversation. He also brings everything you need for the lesson, and does a great job cleaning afterwards. 10/10 will definitely do another course! Thanks for a fantastic evening!

William G.

Booked the class Handmade Pasta Workshop with Chef Doug

Amazing experience with Chef Eric. He went into detail about each step of the process and what the point of it is and really showed his enthusiasm about his work. Would definitely recommend for someone interested.

I had a wonderful experience with Chef Eric. I learned a lot and got inspired! Eric was very gracious with us, he is such an amazing host and has a wealth of knowledge on French and Italian cuisines. I look forward to my next class with Chef Eric!

Thank you Libby for a fun educational night

Our executive team had a blast with Chef Dirk! Would definitely recommend for a corporate outing. Chef Dirk was so patient with me leading up to the event, answering all my questions in a timely manner. I appreciate your assistance to ensure our team had a fun and unique experience!

Kelsey W.

Booked the class Italian Dough Workshop with Chef Libby in San Jose (Naglee Park)

Chef Libby was a great teacher! She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions very happily. We learned so much and would happily take another class of hers. We're already looking into trying the sushi class :)

Meredith V.

Booked the class Saffron-Infused Gulf Prawn Risotto with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

I booked this experience with Chef James as a Christmas present from our grandma to her granddaughter. She's 11 and is interested in being chef. Chef James was wonderfully inviting and friendly from the moment we all stepped into his home, and enjoyed some cheese, meats, and anchovy stuffed olives. We then helped to cook the risotto, and enjoyed the fruits of our work :) The risotto was amazing, cooked perfectly and so flavorful! We also loved the dolce cake for dessert - it was a wonderful end to the evening. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Tasandra G.

Booked the event Interactive Italian Pasta Making with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)

Our Executive Team of 11 had a wonderful Italian team building cooking experience with Chef Dirk! He has such a great, upbeat personality that had all of us laughing and engaged. We made a wonderful meal of homemade pasta and sauces, the dessert was fabulous and we really enjoyed our evening. He did a great job of accommodating our 3 food restrictions. I highly recommend him if you want a yummy dinner, great entertainment and to learn how to cook!

Randy S.

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

Chef Daniel is a cool human being. We appreciated that he knew and explained the science and reasoning behind what we were doing, and helped us appreciate both science and art of cooking. Can’t recommend him enough!

Jessalynn S.

Booked the class Colorful Homemade Pasta with Chef Valerie in Marin County (San Rafael)

We had a fantastic time making pasta! Thank you for the amazing afternoon of learning, doing, and tasting! We definitely recommend Valerie who was super friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. If you give this class a try you won't be disappointed.

Matt G.

Booked the class Handmade Pasta and Italian Fare with Chef Ruel in San Jose (North San Jose)

Ruel is awesome! We were lucky enough to be the only couple who booked that night and had an amazing experience. We had so much fun cooking an amazing delicious meal.

Teddy S.

Booked the class Wood Fired Neapolitan Style Pizza with Chef Phoebe in San Francisco (West Portal)

Was hoping it was a bit more in depth like getting the fire going or making the dough. Just rolling the dough and adding toppings to put in the oven wasn't what I had expected. To be fair, Phoebe did answer questions but the focus then got further diluted in making donuts and gelato ... I thought I signed up for a wood fired pizza making class

Kim T.

Booked the class Italian Dinner Party Favorites with Chef Mikki

Chef Mikki made us feel right at home. He taught us so much and made the entire experience comfortable. The food was amazing. You will definitely not regret this experience.

Marybarbara Z.

Booked the event Refined Rustic Italian with Chef Ziva in South Bay & Peninsula (South Los Altos)

Our family of 10 had an amazing time celebrating our annual Day After Christmas Surprise! Chef Ziva’s kitchen was ready for our arrival with all the ingredients organized and laid out on Chef’s long, long, long kitchen table. In our fettucini making class, Chef Ziva first demonstrated how to create the dough and then process it through the pasta making machine. Four of us were assigned to this task while the remaining six of our family was divided between making the bruchetta and preparing the creamy mushroom sauce that would be incorporated into the fettucini. Chef Ziva is a natural teacher - knowledgeable, patient, and caring. She made our cooking adventure enjoyable and memorable. Making our meal from scratch was not only a learning experience - it was a lot of fun, especially when we sat down in Chef Ziva’s dining room and shared the fruits of our labor making pasta...from scratch!

Ntokozo B.

Booked the event Italian Classics Revisited with Chef David in San Francisco (Fisherman's Wharf)

Chef David is not only a great chef, he's charismatic and a lot of fun. He knows how to walk the fine line between being playful and casual while also remaining very professional - quite a feat! The meal was absolutely delicious, and we picked up a lot of everyday cooking skills like tips and tricks that will dramatically reduce the time it takes for you to chop vegetables! Lots of fun, I highly recommend

Carolyn C.

Booked the class Handmade Pasta and Meatballs with Chef Aaron in East Bay (Prescott)

Very fun & delicious evening cooking with Aaron.

Demetra A.

Booked the class Italian Dinner Party Favorites with Chef Mikki

Chef Mikki was great - friendly, informative and the food was delicious. Thank you for a great Sunday afternoon!

Norbert Y.

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

I am still going to give Chef Daniel five stars for being genial and professional, even though it was very hard to navigate the neighborhood, as Santee is more of an alley than a street, and the building itself was hard to get into, with so many security features. I was late as a result.

michele g.

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

This class was beyond amazing! My husband and I decided to take this pizza cooking class as our date day/night. We learned how to make 3 types of pizza from scratch. The best part is enjoying the pizza. It tasted very yummy. I would recommended this pizza class to everyone. Chef Daniel was very organized, detailed. His studio was the best place to learn how to make pizza.

Lara H.

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

I love Chef Daniel! He is truly amazing and very knowledgeable! Answered all my questions and very easy to work with Chef Daniel you are the best

Ram K.

Booked the event Refined Rustic Italian with Chef Ziva in South Bay & Peninsula (South Los Altos)

Chef Ziva was welcoming, enthusiastic, and my colleagues and I thoroughly enjoyed learning from her. Her instructions were good, and I was able to cook some of her recipes at home.

Catharine C.

Booked the class A Pizza Party with Chef Roger in San Jose (Alum Rock)

Chef Roger was amazing. He was very accommodating, knowledgeable and just all around great teacher. He made his class easy to learn and easy to achieve at home. He taught us new cooking techniques and even showed us how to make two amazing fresh salads from our own homegrown food. He sent us home with all the left overs from the class (which was a TON) and we left full and so very happy! What a wonderful class! I highly recommend chef Roger & cozymeal.

Brian H.

Booked the class Classic Italian With Modern Influences with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)

We had a great time! Chef Dirk put on a fun class in a nice atmosphere filled with good music, fine company, and delicious food. Highly recommended!

Laura C.

Booked the class Gluten and Dairy Free Italian with Chef Carly in East Bay (Poets Corner)

What a wonderful and unique experience! Carly is very welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate. My boyfriend and I loved the hands-on cooking (we did the GF DF Italian class) and, of course, the delicious food. Along the way, Carly offered some cooking and preparation techniques that translate to everyday meals. We would highly recommend cooking with Carly :)

Dolores P.

Booked the event Refined Rustic Italian with Chef Ziva in South Bay & Peninsula (South Los Altos)

Our team (12 ppl) had a great time at Chech Ziva's class. Homemade pasta is the best! We all learned some new cooking tricks and can't wait for next time.

Cyrus R.

Booked the class Classic Italian With Modern Influences with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)

Dirk was fun, kind, organized and managed the group thoughtfully through the process of cooking and experiencing their creations.

Brianna R.

Booked the class Fresh Italian Fare with Chef Nonna in East Bay (West Alameda)

Me and my girlfriend showed up to Chef Noona home on July 6th at noon. She greeted us with the biggest smile, it was very welcoming. The menu was fettuccine Pasta with Alfredo sauce and a mixed green salad with vinaigrette. The dessert was a Apple Crostata Once in the home we were provided a recipe list of what we were going to cook. Chef Noona sat us down and carefully went over the whole recipe sheet detailing the reasons and science of the ingredients. This made me feel very comfortable and helped me understand more about certain ingredients. The hardest part about the meal to us was creating the dough, but Chef Noona helped us tremendously and showed genuine patience. I really enjoyed the experience and will recommend her to anyone! Thanks again Chef Noona, we will be back.

Liz B.

Booked the event Italian Classics Revisited with Chef David in San Francisco (Fisherman's Wharf)

David was great and the food was delicious! We left happy, slightly better chefs, and full of yummy food!

Helen D.

Booked the class Colorful Homemade Pasta with Chef Valerie in Marin County (San Rafael)

I had a wonderful time with Chef Valerie in her gorgeous kitchen last Saturday with my family as we were shown the proper methods to make and cook pasta, sauces and a fabulous fruit galette. We all found her very informative and she has a lovely, calm nature. It is clear she has a passion for cooking and good food. I look forward to trying out her recipes in my own kitchen! My sister and I organized the event for our mother's 80th birthday gift. She was absolutely thrilled to have a unique opportunity to cook with 4 of her 6 grandchildren (who are all young adults and learning to cook for themselves now). I would recommend this class to all considering a pasta class. Thank you, Chef Valierie! I look forward to cooking with you again. Buon appetito!!
