Tax accountant by day, inspired chef with a professional culinary training background by night. I love dining out as much as I enjoy cooking. Last year, I decided to follow my passion and enrolled in culinary school (Le Cordon Bleu). I did my externship in Italy, learning how to make fresh pastas, Italian food and the art of eating. All my cooking share one common ingredient, and this is the love I put in the food I prepare. I would like to share that love by breaking bread with you.

Great company, beautiful presentation of the food, delicious meal.I did the tasting for this meal before Marjan joined Cozymeal and I told myself that I would try to book the meal every time she offers it. This was my second time already and I will try to make it again next time.

This was my first time using CozyMeal. My initial hesitation was quickly dismantled by Marjan's warm and friendly invitation to come in. She's truly a great host. We sat down & I got to meet several other cozy mealers. We chatted about the Bay Area and the ever-beautiful San Francisco, and then the first dish was presented to us. I'm an Iranian and I can honestly say I've never seen such a beautiful Persian appetizer in my life. Persian food doesn't usually look this great (though it tastes amazing). The taste was impeccable and only outdone by the main dish and dessert. I stayed longer than I thought because the entire group was having such a great time talking, joking, and laughing. In short, tasty foods, warm atmosphere, great host. I look forward to going back to Marjan's!

Marjan's food is very elegant. The herb-stuffed fish was noticeably fresh and healthy, and her rice dish the most unique. All with delightfully subtle and pronounced flavors everywhere. The homemade saffron ice cream with pistachio was A-MAZING. I left feeling something like that of a born-again Persian. I now love everything Persian. What a fun night!
