Chef V was welcoming, down to earth and made the class fun and productive. She has great ideas and even though I like to think I know my way around the kitchen, she definitely taught me new things. More importantly, the food we made was as delicious as it was healthy.

I booked a pasta making class with Chef V for my daughter's 15th birthday. Chef V is a great chef. She was very flexible and was willing to change the time that we had initially booked the class to a new time due to some scheduling conflicts on our end. The class itself was fantastic and everyone really enjoyed it. The guests learnt something new, had a lot of fund and everyone loved the tasty pasta in the end. I would definitely recommend Chef V and Cozymeal.

Chef V is competent, kind and just a fantastic chef. We booked a Paleo cooking class with Chef V in Los Angeles (Santa Monica) and we are so glad we found this class on Cozymeal. We prepared 4 courses in a 3-hour cooking class and really liked it. Chef V explained each preparation step really well and in the end, we sat down and enjoyed the yummy meal. I would definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone who would like to learn from a good chef while having a lot of fun.

Chef V was a wonderful host and made an incredible meal. We were a team of 10 and she integrated each person into meal preparation while keeping the experience fun and interactive. I would highly recommend Chef V for a team bonding experience or just a great and unique culinary experience.
