We would highly recommend the cooking experience. I booked this for my wife, daughter and mom for Mother's Day and we all had a great time. It was fantastic to learn how to make pasta from scratch, understand the different ingredients and how best to combine them and then enjoy a tasty meal. Being involved in the preparation of the food made the whole experience that much more memorable. We look forward to trying the recipes at home and signing up for another class with Chef Vinutha in the future. She is very knowledgeable, engaging and patient. Thank you for making this a memorable Mother's Day experience for us all.

Chef Vinutha's Italian cooking class was the perfect surprise date idea for my girlfriend and me. The class was well-organized, informative, and incredibly fun. Chef Vinutha's knowledge of Italian cuisine and her passion for cooking made the experience truly unforgettable. We learned how to make delicious handmade pasta and sauce from scratch and enjoyed a wonderful meal together. I highly recommend Chef Vinutha's class to anyone looking for a fun and unique date idea!

I gave a "cozy" meal with Chef Vinutha as a gift to my son and his fiancé. They were a bit apprehensive at first about the idea of going to a stranger's home, but said that Chef Vinutha quickly made them feel welcome. They absolutely raved about the meal they had prepared with Vinutha's patience and guidance and would highly recommend this wonderful experience to others!!!!

Myself & daughter were looking forward to a relaxed, educational and tasty cooking experience (as part of my daughters Bday). From the moment we stepped into Chef V’s beautiful and aromatic kitchen we were not disappointed. We cooked with another (adorable ) couple and enjoyed lots of laughs, learned a lot and the menu was so delicious. I couldn’t leave the leftovers behind…my husband even had a taste. I am grateful for the pleasant experience & would recommend to anyone who loves flavourful food. Chef V was patient while we learned new skills and very passionate in teaching us about the background of the spices and ingredients. Thanks again Chef V :)

Chef Vinutha is a wonderful teacher, and the class was a great experience. She is both patient, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable, and made sure the class was both a way to learn about the recipes and spices themselves, and an opportunity to try our own hand at every step of the process. The food came out amazingly, and everything was carefully timed and prepared so there was no downtime throughout the whole process, with everything being ready more or less at the same time! Overall I would recommend the class to anyone

Our Journey through the flavors of India definitely exceeded our expectations! The food was absolutely delicious (and even yielded some leftovers!) and the venue was very nicely curated, so the vibe was great! Chef Vinu also walked us through everything we hoped for and more: an overview of the dishes' history/cultural significance, tips for recipe alterations, and detailed feedback and advice on cooking techniques and how to balance flavors in Indian cusine and beyond. And on top of that, she was very patient, eloquent, and overall really lovely to chat with! I highly recommend booking a cozymeal with Chef Vinu & I think I'll book another one myself! :)

This was an awesome experience! I got this for my fiancé's birthday since he loves to cook Italian food. We both had such a great time. Chef Vinutha's home is beautifully set up. It felt like you stepped into a small Italian restaurant. You can tell she puts a lot of care into the experience. We learnt a lot through the whole class. Chef Vinutha shared a lot of helpful tips and guided us the whole way. We're planning on making our own pasta every time we make Italian now. The meals were delicious! We were especially surprised by the sauce we made using orange juice. We couldn't stop eating it! To give you an idea....we cooked enough for 6 people and 2 of us ate it all? We'll definitely be signing up for more classes! Thanks, Chef :)

We had a lovely experience with Chef Vinutha! We participated in the Authentic Neapolitan Cuisine class - Chef Vinutha was patient and extremely knowledgable. Not only did she walk us through the specific recipe steps, she also provided alternative recipe ideas and lots of information on the entire cooking process. The food itself was delicious and we enjoyed our meal in her lovely home (also had some food for takeaway!). She is very accommodating of allergies as well (I have an anaphylactic peanut allergy). We would love to do another class with Chef Vinutha, and highly recommend that you do the same!

My brother in law is a horrible cook and the opposite of a foodie, until we met Vinu. This was hands down the Top 10 greatest experiences of his entire life. He’s now a converted foodie with a whole new appreciation for life, let alone food. Her warmth and welcoming attitude made the experience 10x better. Then the food…. *drool* … an absolute masterpiece. We’d HIGHLY recommend this over any other Cook on the site ?‍?

28 Nov 2021

My girlfriend and I aren’t necessarily the best cooks in the world and we were hesitant to try this experience; however, Vinutha made us feel like world class chefs! Her instructions and demonstrations were very clear and easy to follow, but also fun and engaging. She was also very encouraging and supportive which is unlike any of the chefs I’ve seen on TV (perhaps you may know of a British chef from a popular tv show about a kitchen in hell?) As well as her ability to cook, Vinutha has extensive knowledge on technique, food pairings, and history of dishes that made the event even more thrilling. You can tell her passion for cooking as well as hosting and teaching made it extremely interactive. Not only does this type of experience make it fun in the present, but also the tips will carry on in the future when cooking for yourself or others. And let’s not forget the food was amazing! The kitchen and dining area were very clean and the aesthetics were amazing. We felt right at home right as we walked in. My girlfriend and I were hesitant at first about cooking with another couple; however, Vinutha made the experience more old friends gathering for a meal with no awkwardness or discomfort. I understand this is a long review but when good service meets good people and ends up with great food, I feel good work should be recognized. My girlfriend and I loved the experience and would definitely attend another cooking class with Vinutha. Definitely recommend, your tummy will thank you! JH

It was our first experience with cozymeal and Vinutha was such an amazing host. The menu was really well put together using ingredients that are accessible to anyone. The dishes are simple, yet impressive and the flavours were bold. Vinutha facilitated the evening flawlessly and everything was planned and organised well. The entire experience was very enjoyable, Vinutha has a really good knowledge of food and it was really cool to be able to take advantage of that and ask a lot of questions. We had a lot of fun putting the dishes together and they tasted amazing. I’m sure we’ll try making them again at home to impress friends. Would highly recommend this experience.

Geoff

29 Sep 2021

Chef Vinutha hosted a wonderful series of classes for us! She gave concise directions, was always encouraging, and was great company. She has a deep knowledge of South Indian cooking and shared these new flavours with all of us. My favourite recipe is the Upma, which I make for breakfast even to this day. Highly, highly recommend spending time with Vinutha and her cooking!

Sierra

29 Sep 2021

Vinu is an amazing teacher! She is very patient and clear. She taught me a whole bunch of Indian dishes and cooking techniques that I had never heard of or tried before! The food was delicious and Vinu made it easy even when it was something brand new. Highly recommend her classes for anyone who loves food!

Dan

Vinutha's work is phenomenal, her food delicious, and she makes cooking fun.

Eric

29 Sep 2021

Great organizational skills, warm personality, and incredibly delicious recipes characterize learning to cook from Chef Vinu. South Indian cuisine is a hidden gem that is only recently starting to get the attention it deserves in the world of culinary arts - and Chef Vinu adapts her Grandmother's traditional recipes for a North American audience while still holding onto it's authenticity. Truly I never believed that food this healthy (and nearly entirely gluten free / vegan) could be this delicious!

Kyla

29 Sep 2021

Vinutha’s recipes are unreal. I like to cook and I have definitely learned lots of new techniques and flavour combinations that I would have never thought of. Thank you!!

Amy

29 Sep 2021

Vinutha's instructions make me feel like everything in the kitchen is possible! I'm still finding my confidence in the kitchen and she makes me believe I am totally capable. Her instructions are clear, questions are easily answered with kindness and encouragement, not to mention her recipes are amazing!

Sarah S.

29 Sep 2021

I was lucky enough to get to take a course of classes with Vinutha and I cannot say enough good things! As a summary - delicious food, well organized, clear and easy instructions, attentive teacher, and lovely person to learn from. To start classes were clearly well thought out, with meticulously detailed class agendas and recipes to make prep and following along as easy as possible. And make for great references later when you want to make meals again and again (as I have). The class itself was run smoothly - we ran on schedule while making multiple meals at once (though it never felt hard - everything was so well planned we got to make multiple items just like a "real chef" without ever feeling stressed). Vinutha was also incredibly attentive - she showed us every step as she did it and made sure to check in with each of us as we went along, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions or have her look at your food to see what you might be missing (add a touch more water etc). She was excellent at explaining everything she was doing and making sure we were all on track. And of course - the FOOD. Wow is all I can say. My mouth is watering as I type this. Delicious full meals you want to make again and again and again. There's also a large variety of food - starters, mains, snacks and desserts so you gain a wide variety of skills and things to satisfy your taste buds. SO GOOD!!! I got to try new foods and learn new skills, all in very fun and enriching environment, with an incredible chef. I cannot recommend Vinutha enough!!!!

I was intimidated at first when I joined Vinu's southern Indian cooking classes because the cuisine was mostly new to me and many of the dishes she taught were far more sophisticated than anything I'd ever attempted in the kitchen. But Vinu knew exactly how to make her classes accessible and highly enjoyable. She sent participants recipes well in advance, offered tips on where to find certain ingredients, and occasionally shared videos ahead of some classes in which she demonstrated the more complicated techniques we would be employing. This was especially helpful considering she conducted the classes over video. Her instructions during class were clear and precise, and she patiently repeated them for anyone (mostly me) who needed extra help. The food itself was always delicious, and I always the sense of accomplishment at the end of each class. I highly recommend Vinu's cooking classes!
