Booked the class Explore Bold Spanish Tapas with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)

we cooked Spanish tapas, so a variety of dishes. My fave was learning the 2 step potato cooking method. All the dishes were yummy. Chef had good prep work and additional information on the cuisine as the class worked.

Great evening with Chef Roddy and his team. The food was great. We had a good blend of helping to cook and also networking with our team. A wonderful night overall. I would highly suggest. We did the Paella cooking class and it was delicious and plenty of food for all 9 of us. Thank you Chef!'

Had a great time with Chef James! He taught us about paella, and we were able to help. He lived in Spain, and he showed a lot of love and enthusiasm for the cuisine and culture. Would definitely book again!

Booked the class Modernized Spanish Tapas with Chef Ruel in San Jose (North San Jose)

Cooking class with Chef Ruel was a fantastic experience! My boyfriend and I attended the Spanish Tapas class right before Valentine's day. Chef Ruel had a lovely setup with all the necessary ingredients at hand. Another couple was also present for the class and we all split up to chop and prepare different parts of the meal. Chef Ruel provided some basic cooking tips as well ad advanced instruction on how everything comes together for the final presentation. We had a delightful time taking the class and really enjoyed spending the evening with the other couple, Chef Ruel, and Shelly.

Booked the class Classic Paella Techniques with Chef Mikki

Chef Mikki was great! He was friendly, adapted for our personal needs and experience levels, and the food turned out delicious. Using the skills we learned in our cooking class, we have even been able to add a yummy paella to our cooking repertoire, and have made it successfully at home! Thank you Chef Mikki for a wonderful experience!

Booked the class Classic Paella Techniques with Chef Mikki

We had a great date night at Chef Mikki’s cooking class. He was accommodating to a gluten allergy we had but everything turned out delicious. He was knowledgeable of all our questions pertaining to the recipe and general cooking questions. He had a great personality as well. I wish the class would have been more hands on.

Had a great experience with Chef Valerie. She answered our questions and was encouraging even when our empanadas looked a little sad.

Chef James was very personable. He made us feel so welcomed in his house. It was a pleasure to take his cooking class. I am definitely going back!

Booked the class A Night in Spain with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

James was very knowledgeable of Spain and their cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at James' warm and welcoming household. Paella is a very hands off dish however James was able to incorporate some volunteers into the cooking experience. He had fantastic Spanish appetizers, sides, and desserts to compliment the Paella. Strongly recommend bringing a bottle of wine to share with the fellow aspiring chefs. Thank you James!

Chef James did an amazing job. The class was very informative and the food was delicious - I can't wait to try out the recipes on my own. The environment was very friendly and not intimidating at all. The class was pretty casual so it made for a fun and relaxing evening. I would recommend this class with Chef James'

Booked the class A Night in Spain with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

Our Italian dinner with chef James was just amazing. His beautiful Victorian home was the perfect setting for a cozy dinner. At first we snacked on some delicious appetizers while chatting about food and travels. And getting ready to make PASTA! Chef James introduced me to Padron Peppers which I have been making since then at least twice a week. They are in season now! Thanks chef James. Everyone was able to give the pasta dough a knead and roll some. We had the pasta with yummy Bolognese, followed by a delicious main course of slow-cooked beef with corn and peppers. Dessert: Light cheese cake. This diner was a great experience and can only recommend it for locals and new-to-the city people top meet new friends! Cheers!

A great class! Chef James is patient and very knowledgeable about Spanish cuisine. It was great to see the paella being put together from start to finish, and well worth the wait -- it was delicious. The flavors were rich and nuanced and the soccarat was perfect. And the Quesada was a great finish -- sweet and satiating but light and refreshing. Thanks, Chef James!

Sam N. September, 2014

Booked the class A Night in Spain with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

One of the best Spanish Paella cooking classes I have had so far! We chose to make seafood Paella and chef James did a good job explaining how to make the dish. It tasted great and the whole process was really fun!

Connie L. July, 2018

Booked the class A Night in Spain with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

I am kinda disappointed after attending this class. I would say this was actually not a class, it was more like a social or eating event to be exact. We were not provided any hands on experience at all during the whole class. No receipes were given during the class. We were just standing in the kitchen and watching James cooked for about an hour. He gave little details on how he cooked the Paella. Most often times, people asked him why this and why that, then he answered. Seems like he is very passive in a way of teaching but he cooked a really yummy Paella. If I knew the class will be like that, I would not have signed up this class. We can just watch YouTube online. Maybe this is not the class that I expected. I expected a more hands on practice. And I expected the chef/teacher will explain more details to enchance our cooking knowledge and of course on how to properly cook a Paella. I wonder if all the classes at CozyMeals are like that. I would like to sign up for other classes but this class makes me think twice before I sign up the next one. One thing I found funny is liek I received an email asking me to tip the chef. Is it a restaurant? Or a class? Felt like it's more like a restaurant to me if I am being asked for a tip. If you are looking for a real cooking class, it's not a place. If you want to eat yummy Paella and spent few hours together with your significant half, that's the place.

Booked the class The Mastery of Spanish Fare with Chef Roddy in San Jose (Campbell)

We had an absolutely incredible experience learning to cook with Chef Roddy and his team. From the moment we arrived, the energy was warm, welcoming, and effortlessly professional. Chef Erick has a true gift—not just for cooking, but for teaching. He breaks things down in a way that’s engaging, approachable, and genuinely fun, whether you’re a beginner or someone who already loves being in the kitchen. The highlight of the experience was making paella—and not just any paella, but hands down the best we’ve ever had. Every step, from layering flavors to perfecting the texture of the rice, was thoughtfully guided. You can tell Chef Erick is passionate about his craft, and that passion carries through in every detail. His team was equally fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly in sync, which made the whole experience feel seamless and elevated. It never felt rushed, and there was a great balance of hands-on learning, storytelling, and enjoying the process. This wasn’t just a cooking class—it was a memorable culinary experience. We walked away not only with new skills, but with a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking (and a serious craving for paella). Highly, highly recommend Chef Roddy and his team—you won’t be disappointed.

Amanda D. August, 2025

Booked the class A Night in Spain with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

The Night in Spain personal chef experience was absolutely everything I hoped for and more it honestly exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, it felt like such a thoughtful, elevated, and immersive evening. The chef was phenomenal not only with the food (which was beyond delicious and beautifully presented) but also with the way they shared the story and flavors of each dish. It really felt like being transported straight to Spain without ever leaving home. Every detail was executed so well, and it made the entire experience truly memorable. It was one of those rare evenings where everything aligned perfectly the atmosphere, the pacing, the food, and the personal touch from the chef. I can honestly say it was one of the most amazing dining experiences I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future and recommending Cozymeal to friends and family. Thank you again for helping make such an unforgettable evening possible!
