WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Boston
03/29/2026
First off, Cozymeal needs to update when chef’s change. The chef that ran the class deserves to get reviews. Chef Tom was awesome and hands on throughout the process. We had fun making 2 kinds of pasta by hand and seeing how to make 3 different sauces. 16 people was way too many and I much preferred when I did a class at a chefs house with a smaller group . They shouldn’t allow 16 people in that kitchen ,.,, maybe 10tops! We really did like a chef Tom so A+ for his class!

What a warm and wonderful evening of food prep, conversation, education and then devouring the many delicious Thai dishes we cooked. Chef Shailini was a delight and kept us all involved with our tasks while we learned about the food and its origin. Shailini is a superb story teller and an expert in making everyone feel at ease -no matter their cooking experience. Her home was welcoming and her personality a delight! Highly recommend experiencing one of her cooking classes. She clearly has a passion for food and a desire to share that love of cooking with her students (young and old!)

Melissa was a great hostess. She was very attentive to my texts and Q's before the class. She contacted us a week before to let us know there was an opening, as we had booked another class several months out. Then she communicated her vaccination status and policies about vaccination which we were really confused about since it's 2026. My husband developed a cold and we were considering canceling 2 days before, but the cozy meals refund policy was 48 hours so we attended the class. There was one other couple. We learned how to make sushi rolls using sushi rice, fish, avocado, cucumber, caviar, and spices. Melissa prepared a gluten-free dairy-free dessert for us, and we played a spice game and had a gratitude session. It was an enjoyable couple's evening experience.
