Chef Phoebe is clearly a very talented chef. Everything we ate was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing! It was such a treat to watch Chef Phoebe and her assistant put together a delicious meal in front of us, in our kitchen, while at the same time socializing for our dinner party. The braised duck legs in zinfandel was succulent and bursting with flavor. I can’t wait to have Chef Phoebe back for another dinner party.

Phoebe was incredible! We were visiting from out of state and she provided us with the most awesome experience. She took us through the Ferry Building, giving us insight on the different shops and stands as well as tips for future farmers market shopping. Then we went to her lovely home where we cooked an absolutely delicious and beautiful meal together. We had somewhere to be that afternoon and she was very mindful of our time as well. I would recommend her 10/10!!!

This was my first time I did a cooking class and I was very impressed by the entire experience. Chef Phoebe is great at not only guiding you through all the recipes but also at sharing her cooking knowledge with you from how to cut properly, prepare sauces, and everything else that comes along with it.Truly enjoyed the class and looking forward to check out some others and come back again!

Phoebe is an amazing chef and a wonderful person! She made it a fun, entertaining and delicious evening. She walked us through everything in simple to follow instructions, even enough for the person in our group who never cooks to understand and enjoy herself!

Phoebe was an amazing teacher and host. We enjoyed not only learning the recipes from her, but also talking to her and learning about her many experiences as a chef. She made us all feel immediately comfortable in her home and even prepared delicious food for us to snack on while we baked. Thank you so much for your time.

We had a really lovely evening at Chef Phoebe's home - we chose this as a team outing. We made WAY more food then we could have ever consumed, the French-Japanese fusion was a fun mix of cuisine and we loved learning to make sushi!

Chef Phoebe was wonderful. we learned a great deal in terms of techniques and had an overall wonderful experience. Our only criticism, a minor one, is that we really had hoped for a more deeply hands on experience as we are pretty experienced cooks. But with that caveat, we would highly recommend Chef Phoebe in all respects.

Chef Phoebe put on a wonderful class for our team. It was fun, everyone had a great time, learned a lot, and we were very impressed with our rolls. She and Heather from Cozymeal also accommodated us when another chef had a double booking. We really appreciate her and Heather's quick response in making sure our team had a fantastic offsite.

The meal we had with Chef Phoebe for a holiday brunch at home was great! It was very easy to coordinate with her on the menu and on the drop-off. Our guests were very happy with the spread and loved the food. Would definitely use Cozymeal and love to work with Chef Phoebe again.

The event was a huge success! Everyone was engaged at the level they felt comfortable and each person was able to experience several stations to learn a variety of skills. The meal which was prepared was exceptional. Who knew a bunch of engineers could create a 5-star dining experience? The next day all of the participants were commenting on what a wonderful experience it was.

15 Nov 2017
Overall fun event, the team enjoyed themselves. The structure seemed somewhat disorganized. There was no food that had been prepared to replenish the diminishing supply, so numerous teams had to wait for the chefs to prep food for them. Thorough instructions weren't clearly given at the beginning, so numerous teams had a few questions about what they were supposed to present at the end. They also ran out of wasabi, tuna, and presentation plates, so some teams weren't able to produce exactly what they wanted. We were told the 'judging' portion would involve 2-3 judges tasting the final results, but it was only 1 judge and she only tested the drinks, so people didn't feel they were judged properly. She also made up a category that nobody was aware of. It also would've helped to have a microphone and buzzer to alert everyone of the 1-5-10 minute warnings. It didn't seem like enough food had been prepared beforehand to keep everyone satisfied at the end, some people left hungry. This is not meant to be a scathing review, again, everyone enjoyed themselves, I just wanted to provide honest feeback to improve any future events! Chef Phoebe was very personable and the venue was lovely! Loved the outdoor patio.

What a wonderful experience! Our team was in San Francisco for a trade show so we decided to try something a little different than the usual customer cocktail hour. Chef Phoebe provided the opportunity for our guests to work together (our resident cooks) and others to spend valuable time getting to know each other (the resident eaters)! We highly recommend CozyMeal and Chef Phoebe's talented team as an off-the-beaten-path medium for client engagement.

It is my first cooking class. Learn some cutting skills and Parisian recipes. Chef Pheobe is friendly and funny. She shared some interesting story when she worked as a private cook for some rich people. Not much involved in cooking on the oven, more involved in food preparation like slicing and dicing, make a potato smash flower, etc. The food is good there. Like the onion soup starter.
Kim
03 Aug 2017
Very disappointed. We always take a cooking class in every city we visit. The thought of an opportunity in a San Francisco city was exciting. What we found was 10 students in a small kitchen with limited space. We specifically signed up so I could learn techniques for French onion soup. Since the started it prior to our arrival there was no explanation or direction. I learned more from asking her assistant, Gabe, who was great. Between her children interfering, the cat running through the kitchen, and too many students I was extremely disappointed. As I previously stated we take classes in every city we visit, including overseas, we were very disappointed.

Phoebe made a delicious meal and told us a lot about different cooking techniques. Really enjoyed this experience! She is also a great person to meet and talk to.

My friend Kim and I enjoyed the evening. The other guests made the night a lot of fun. I have a culinary background so the class was remedial for me but I still picked up a few tips. My friend really wanted to know how to make French onion soup so the class was a success. Phoebe was a gracious host and her assistant was a delight. Only gave the class 4 stars because I would have liked more hands on during the class.

All four of us had an amazing time. We learned a ton about the history of Sushi, the different methods of preparation, and the different tools in one's arsenal. Chef Phoebe was a wonderful hostess balancing structure and tradition with this carefree, creative spirit allowing us to experiment and be playful with our food. Would love to have another evening with her again.

I enjoyed the chefs, very nice people. This wasn't quite a cooking class. Team meal prep. Held at a nice home, but a fan would have gone a long way, about 83 to 85 degrees in kitchen. Had fun learning a few prep techniques. Food was just okay, maybe under seasoned.. I do not believe this event was worth 200 for 2 people for 3 hours.

We had a delicious meal and a fun experience! Phoebe did a great job of helping us prepare our french feast of french onion soup, beef bourguignon, twice baked souffle, duchesse potatoes and a nectarine gallete/tarte. Delicious! She also incorporated lots of french cooking tips too! Would definitely recommend the class and would take another one from her in the future. Thanks Phoebe!

Phoebe was very knowledgeable, and shared her wisdom in an accessible manner. She explained and demonstrated, then allowed us each to participate as much - or as little - as we wanted. She was very accommodating of my physical limitations, and gave me a prime seat in her kitchen, while she cheerfully and artfully worked around me.

4 stars not 5 for last minute location change which wasn't convenient for the team. We ended up in Chef Phoebe's house. Besides this the cooking class experience was great! We got to know how top open and prepare oysters, we learnt a ton about types of sushi, how sushi became popular in US, how California roll was created and where you can find the best fresh fish in San Francisco area! We prepared so much sushi we couldn't eat it all at the end! Thank you for the great time together last night, Chef Phoebe!

Our class with Chef Phoebe was so much fun! We took the class because we are gearing up for a summer trip to Paris and wanted a little inside information about French cooking before we went.

Chef Phoebe was amazing. She juggled all 7 of us with ease, explaining techniques, while instructing us on what to do and how to do it, while prepping the next step. She was so friendly and welcomed questions whenever. The experience was a great mix. The group size was great, because we were able to all see well and take turns being involved, but there was still time to drink your wine and observe and relax.

Christina
10 Mar 2017
The food was delicious, Chef Phoebe was warm and welcoming, and the dining was a fun experience. The evening flew by! However, I felt like Chef Phoebe had done a significant amount of the "hard" work prior to our arrival. I understand that this was due to time constraints and Parisian food is not quick to make, but I almost felt like the students were just adding the finishing touches to a meal that Chef Phoebe had already cooked herself.

Chef Phoebe was great! There were 4 of us in her class and we all got to participate hands-on. Chef was very knowledgeable and shared simple tips and skills. Her timing in food prep was excellent and we all got to enjoy the delicious meal together. She made cooking French food simple and easy but it does take time to prepare.
Miriam
19 Feb 2017
Simple, timeless classics, good networking opportunity. You don't get too hands-on; there are too many bodies in the kitchen for that, but you learn a couple of things! It is a bit pricey per person considering content and menu, but, you are getting a personal session with a French-trained chef in SF so ... align your expectations. Chef is very good at directing (thus her title) and assigning you tasks/bossing you about, but has also clearly done this many, many times, so interactions do feel a bit "rote." Follow up for recipes; she has them, but they are not printed out and handed to you you at dinner. In this sense, she's a true Chef happening to show you some things, rather than a typical "cooking school" or personal chef who isn't actually a chef but more a "personal cook." You'll help a bit in prep then sit down for the last hour to eat while she finishes the dishes so they come out in the right order and you have time to eat them.

Horatiu
22 Jan 2017
Chef Phoebe was very nice and sociable, and the meal she prepared was delicious. She's clearly a very knowledgable chef with some very interesting stories. The problem however was that it wasn't really a cooking class and by the end, we didn't know any more about cooking than at the start. Although she was more than willing to answer our questions, there was no step by step instructions or measurements for any of the dishes that were prepared. We helped with some of the prep steps where requested but spend most of the time watching and drinking wine. It was certainly a pleasant experience and a wonderful meal, but this wasn't a cooking class so much as it was going over to a chef's house for a home cooked meal.
Paul
20 Jan 2017
Lots of fun and great information. I gained some good recipes along with a few new techniques. Chef Phoebe was well experienced and well versed in her craft. My wife and I would do it again the next time we are in town.

We brought 16 college students to San Francisco for an honors leadership trip, and one of our first activities was “A Taste of Madrid” with Chef Phoebe and Chef Gabe. What a great experience! Not only did the students learn new cooking techniques and about new foods, the structure of the program allowed for them to get to know each other more, and to build communication skills as they collaborated on creating different tapas for the group to enjoy. Cozymeals and the chef were able to work with different dietary restrictions, and talk to us about different foods and what made for good substitutions. What a great experience! Phoebe is amazing!
Dana

We thoroughly enjoyed our class with Phoebe! The food was all so tasty, and we learned great techniques in things like how to cut an onion, and how to cook a whole chicken in a pan and get beautifully crisp skin. I definitely recommend!

My boyfriend Pete and I had an amazing time at our cooking class hosted by Chef Phoebe. She was extremely knowledgeable, taught our group useful cooking techniques and gave recommendations on everything from easy weeknight meals, to her personal favorite restaurants. We enjoyed a fantastic meal and will be using the recipes again in the future. Many thanks to Chef Phoebe for a great evening!!

Chef Phoebe was spectacular. This was our first culinary experience through Cozymeal and we were surprised by how delightful it was to cook with complete strangers. The french meal was a great intro for us and we each got to participate in a different way. This certainly encourages me to look through some more cooking classes.

I couldn't stay for the entire event, but the team said they loved the experience. Some even mentioned that it was the highlight of the day. The only thing we missed asking Cozymeal staff was the accessibility issue. Turns out, one of the team members has a difficult time going up and down stairs. Other than that, it was a great event!

A night you will not forget, Chef Phoebe was amazing! I planned this activity as a surprise for my boyfriend and he loved it. It was such a treat to be welcomed to her house and learn to prepare delicious French dishes. Phoebe had everything perfectly prepared for us to make the most out of our time together and timed everything perfectly.

We had a great time with Chef Phoebe! She was very warm and welcoming, we felt right at home after a few minutes. Our experience was the "Parisian Meal". It was delicious, and Chef Phoebe had an extensive knowledge of Parisian cooking, and very interesting tips and techniques. Our group was really fun, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Also, Chef Phoebe was very patient when asked specific questions, and was happy to take her time to go in depth. I certainly recommend booking your Cozymeal experience with her.

The cooking experience with Chef Phoebe was amazing. Her personality and professional food pallet are exceptional. I work for a large pharma tech corporation and teambuilding is interwoven into the fabric of our culture. We opted for the Chefs challenge with Chef Phoebe. She graciously hosted our team at her cozy and beautify home … by the way she has the holy grail of ovens. We broke off into three teams and created custom pizzas. Each dish turned out beautifully, and the quality was superb. Next, we learned how to make fresh pasta and ended with a lovely chocolate decadent cake. Nom, nom, nom. This is indeed one of the most amazing team building activities that I’ve ever experienced. Italian food, cozy kitchen, great team, a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef, and top of the line ingredients – of course the evening was delicious. -Bobbye

The Experience we had with Chef Phoebe was AMAZING!!! The night started with us running late and we reached out to her via phone and she responded very politely that she can accommodate our tardiness. We got to her house about 15 mins late due to heavy traffic. Irregardless of our tardiness she greeted us warmly and immediately made us feel at home. Onto the kitchen!! Her facility is very warm and welcoming yet functional and able to fit all of us with ease and comfort. She informed us of our selection and unbeknownst to us we had a vegan meal!!! She gladly yet again accommodated to the carnivores in us and had some proteins on had to add to the meal. Chef Phoebe explained all instructions and guided us very well through the course. Next came the best part, the consumption of our hand made meal. Chef Phoebe had pre-set a table for us in a what seemed like a presidental dining room. We were then guided through our meal on why certain ingredients were selected and hoe they impacted the dish. Chef Phoebe doubled as our service provider and palette interpreter. In summary, Chef Phoebe is not only very knowledgable in her craft, but patient and willing to go that extra mile to ensure all our needs are met. I look forward to booking again with Chef Phoebe.

Chef Phoebe welcomed us in our home, with a very well equipped kitchen. It was a hands-on class, all of us got to contribute and learned some skills along the way. I feel well equipped to prepare the dishes again at home and I will because everything was delicious. We also had a great time eating together and stayed for an extra hour chatting. Would recommend Phoebe's Parisian dinner class anytime!

What a wonderful way to spend an evening in San Francisco! Chef Phoebe immediately made me feel welcome, as she prepared me for a night of culinary fun! From basic prep instruction to advanced cooking technique, she guided the group on every step and really created a comfortable learning environment. I thoroughly enjoyed the learning process and, of course, the amazing food! Chef Phoebe is a true professional with great skill. I recommend her to all those interested in enriching their cooking prowess and expanding their "foodie" network. :)

We had Chef Phoebe serve us food two weeks ago twice in one day! Chef first dropped off her cocktail party finger food menu at my office which was divine (especially her home-made fried chicken with her house-made dipping sauce). Later that evening, she and her Sous Chef Gabe came to my home to prepare a delicious seasonal California menu meal on-site that included a phenomenal duck confit and duck breast. Everyone really loved it and we look forward to booking Chef Phoebe again. I can definitely recommend Chef Phoebe and her catering services to anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area.

My boyfriend and I had a really wonderful experience with Phoebe's 'A Parisian Meal' class. The French onion soup was a highlight - we learned to caramelize onions and add just a few other ingredients to make an incredibly rich and flavorful soup. The Tarte Tatin was also amazing, with tender caramel-covered apples and a beautiful flaky crust. Phoebe shared fun stories about cooking school, her travels, and the restaurant and catering industry. Her down-to-earth humor made the whole evening fly right by. Phoebe taught us how to make delicious French food with good technique and simple ingredients, and I would love to recommend this class to anyone!

We had a fabulous night for our Picnic in Provence book club! Phoebe is a top notch chef and a flexible, enthusiastic partner for our home event. After hearing our request to learn to cook recipes for my book, she quickly found a copy of the book and came up with a perfect menu of appetizers and dessert. We watched her prepare the first few items while she shared many tips on French cooking. Halfway through the evening we wandered out on the back deck and began to enjoy a beautiful meal while Phoebe continued to prepare, serve and help clean up. Thank you Phoebe!!
Tanya
27 Jul 2016
We had a great time. Chef Phoebe was fun and knowledgable. The menu advertised wasn't exactly what we ended up cooking, and was only 3 courses instead of 4 which we were bummed out about, but the food we did make was great. Everything she taught us to make were with ingredients that you would normally have in your kitchen, or local grocery store so that was awesome!

Chef Phoebe hosted our team event for our group of 8. Most of group had little or no cooking skills and she patiently explained the basics plus some of the finer points of what we were cooking. The class was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and the bonus was actually sitting down to a tasty meal at the end of the evening. I'll definitely be recommending Chef Phoebe to other teams at my company that are looking for an event that everyone can participate in, and enjoy.

We did a company team event with Chef Phoebe, with the Italian Pasta menu. Chef Phoebe was patient and informative, and the class was the right mix of having the participants make the food vs. relaxing and socializing (i.e. the Chef and her assistant did enough prep to help move the class along and skillfully helped and facilitated). The dinner was delicious and the team enjoyed the experience!

Great experience with Phoebe -- thank you so much! What I loved most: - Delicious food, even with the [potentially limiting] "Irish" theme - Extremely easy to work with and accommodating of our group -- which turned out to be only mildly interesting in cooking for themselves -- and she kept everything on track & on time nevertheless - Very accommodating of dietary restrictions; she put together a beautifully-plated one-off vegetarian plate amidst the main meat course - Great service throughout: she and her team did all the set-up and clean-up and did a superb job of serving us (both food courses & keeping glasses full) during the meal itself All in all, an incredibly smooth, well-facilitated, and DELICIOUS event!

Pros: Phoebe was very knowledgeable about the techniques that applied to the food and was able to provide a cultural context for each of the dishes we were making, which made the experience very interesting Cons: The food didn't turn out superb. Dessert was great but a majority of the meal was average. I also felt Phoebe was not super social / hospitable, which several other guests also commented on throughout the night.

Although I was not one of the attendees, only the planner, last nite I got an email message from five of the staff who attended, including my CEO, thanking me for organizing such a totally wonderful evening.

The meal was delicious. Would have liked more instruction with printed recipes as each course was being prepared so that I could learn how to make the meal on my own. Felt like I had to prompt that information when I paid $99 to have instruction on how to prepare a meal. Phoebe was friendly and forthcoming with information when asked.

The food was excellent, and the meal kept us busy the whole time (we all did a couple of things together, and then took turns doing the rest based on what interested us). We learned quite a bit and are all excited to try at least one recipe again at home!

Chef Phoebe's French dishes are so impressive. I had never heard of pommes duchesse -- puréed potatoes, mashed, piped, and baked. Never have I had potatoes in such a beautiful form. They were so golden and reminiscent of flowers and served as the perfect side to her amazing beef bourguignon. Chef Phoebe is also really fun to talk to. I'd definitely recommend this class!

Chef Phoebe is clearly a very talented chef. Everything we ate was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing! It was such a treat to watch Chef Phoebe and her assistant put together a delicious meal in front of us, in our kitchen, while at the same time socializing for our dinner party. The braised duck legs in zinfandel was succulent and bursting with flavor. I can’t wait to have Chef Phoebe back for another dinner party.

Phoebe was incredible! We were visiting from out of state and she provided us with the most awesome experience. She took us through the Ferry Building, giving us insight on the different shops and stands as well as tips for future farmers market shopping. Then we went to her lovely home where we cooked an absolutely delicious and beautiful meal together. We had somewhere to be that afternoon and she was very mindful of our time as well. I would recommend her 10/10!!!

Chef Phoebe was wonderful. we learned a great deal in terms of techniques and had an overall wonderful experience.

15 Nov 2017
Overall fun event, the team enjoyed themselves. The structure seemed somewhat disorganized. There was no food that had been prepared to replenish the diminishing supply, so numerous teams had to wait for the chefs to prep food for them. Thorough instructions weren't clearly given at the beginning, so numerous teams had a few questions about what they were supposed to present at the end. They also ran out of wasabi, tuna, and presentation plates, so some teams weren't able to produce exactly what they wanted. We were told the 'judging' portion would involve 2-3 judges tasting the final results, but it was only 1 judge and she only tested the drinks, so people didn't feel they were judged properly. She also made up a category that nobody was aware of. It also would've helped to have a microphone and buzzer to alert everyone of the 1-5-10 minute warnings. It didn't seem like enough food had been prepared beforehand to keep everyone satisfied at the end, some people left hungry. This is not meant to be a scathing review, again, everyone enjoyed themselves, I just wanted to provide honest feeback to improve any future events! Chef Phoebe was very personable and the venue was lovely! Loved the outdoor patio.

What a wonderful experience! Our team was in San Francisco for a trade show so we decided to try something a little different than the usual customer cocktail hour. Chef Phoebe provided the opportunity for our guests to work together (our resident cooks) and others to spend valuable time getting to know each other (the resident eaters)! We highly recommend CozyMeal and Chef Phoebe's talented team as an off-the-beaten-path medium for client engagement.

It is my first cooking class. Learn some cutting skills and Parisian recipes. Chef Pheobe is friendly and funny. She shared some interesting story when she worked as a private cook for some rich people. Not much involved in cooking on the oven, more involved in food preparation like slicing and dicing, make a potato smash flower, etc. The food is good there. Like the onion soup starter.

Very disappointed. We always take a cooking class in every city we visit. The thought of an opportunity in a San Francisco city was exciting. What we found was 10 students in a small kitchen with limited space. We specifically signed up so I could learn techniques for French onion soup. Since the started it prior to our arrival there was no explanation or direction. I learned more from asking her assistant, Gabe, who was great. Between her children interfering, the cat running through the kitchen, and too many students I was extremely disappointed. As I previously stated we take classes in every city we visit, including overseas, we were very disappointed.

My friend Kim and I enjoyed the evening. The other guests made the night a lot of fun. I have a culinary background so the class was remedial for me but I still picked up a few tips. My friend really wanted to know how to make French onion soup so the class was a success. Phoebe was a gracious host and her assistant was a delight. Only gave the class 4 stars because I would have liked more hands on during the class.

All four of us had an amazing time. We learned a ton about the history of Sushi, the different methods of preparation, and the different tools in one's arsenal. Chef Phoebe was a wonderful hostess balancing structure and tradition with this carefree, creative spirit allowing us to experiment and be playful with our food. Would love to have another evening with her again.

I enjoyed the chefs, very nice people. This wasn't quite a cooking class. Team meal prep. Held at a nice home, but a fan would have gone a long way, about 83 to 85 degrees in kitchen. Had fun learning a few prep techniques. Food was just okay, maybe under seasoned.. I do not believe this event was worth 200 for 2 people for 3 hours.

We had a delicious meal and a fun experience! Phoebe did a great job of helping us prepare our french feast of french onion soup, beef bourguignon, twice baked souffle, duchesse potatoes and a nectarine gallete/tarte. Delicious! She also incorporated lots of french cooking tips too! Would definitely recommend the class and would take another one from her in the future. Thanks Phoebe!

Phoebe was very knowledgeable, and shared her wisdom in an accessible manner. She explained and demonstrated, then allowed us each to participate as much - or as little - as we wanted. She was very accommodating of my physical limitations, and gave me a prime seat in her kitchen, while she cheerfully and artfully worked around me.

4 stars not 5 for last minute location change which wasn't convenient for the team. We ended up in Chef Phoebe's house. Besides this the cooking class experience was great! We got to know how top open and prepare oysters, we learnt a ton about types of sushi, how sushi became popular in US, how California roll was created and where you can find the best fresh fish in San Francisco area! We prepared so much sushi we couldn't eat it all at the end! Thank you for the great time together last night, Chef Phoebe!

Our class with Chef Phoebe was so much fun! We took the class because we are gearing up for a summer trip to Paris and wanted a little inside information about French cooking before we went. We had lots of questions for Chef Phoebe and she answered all of them flawlessly. The meal was delicious and we had great company as well.

Chef Phoebe was amazing. She juggled all 7 of us with ease, explaining techniques, while instructing us on what to do and how to do it, while prepping the next step. She was so friendly and welcomed questions whenever. The experience was a great mix. The group size was great, because we were able to all see well and take turns being involved, but there was still time to drink your wine and observe and relax.

Christina
10 Mar 2017
The food was delicious, Chef Phoebe was warm and welcoming, and the dining was a fun experience. The evening flew by! However, I felt like Chef Phoebe had done a significant amount of the "hard" work prior to our arrival. I understand that this was due to time constraints and Parisian food is not quick to make, but I almost felt like the students were just adding the finishing touches to a meal that Chef Phoebe had already cooked herself.

Chef Phoebe was great! There were 4 of us in her class and we all got to participate hands-on. Chef was very knowledgeable and shared simple tips and skills. Her timing in food prep was excellent and we all got to enjoy the delicious meal together. She made cooking French food simple and easy but it does take time to prepare.
Miriam
19 Feb 2017
Simple, timeless classics, good networking opportunity. You don't get too hands-on; there are too many bodies in the kitchen for that, but you learn a couple of things! It is a bit pricey per person considering content and menu, but, you are getting a personal session with a French-trained chef in SF so ... align your expectations. Chef is very good at directing (thus her title) and assigning you tasks/bossing you about, but has also clearly done this many, many times, so interactions do feel a bit "rote." Follow up for recipes; she has them, but they are not printed out and handed to you you at dinner. In this sense, she's a true Chef happening to show you some things, rather than a typical "cooking school" or personal chef who isn't actually a chef but more a "personal cook." You'll help a bit in prep then sit down for the last hour to eat while she finishes the dishes so they come out in the right order and you have time to eat them.

22 Jan 2017
Chef Phoebe was very nice and sociable, and the meal she prepared was delicious. She's clearly a very knowledgable chef with some very interesting stories. The problem however was that it wasn't really a cooking class and by the end, we didn't know any more about cooking than at the start. Although she was more than willing to answer our questions, there was no step by step instructions or measurements for any of the dishes that were prepared. We helped with some of the prep steps where requested but spend most of the time watching and drinking wine. It was certainly a pleasant experience and a wonderful meal, but this wasn't a cooking class so much as it was going over to a chef's house for a home cooked meal.
Paul

Lots of fun and great information. I gained some good recipes along with a few new techniques. Chef Phoebe was well experienced and well versed in her craft. My wife and I would do it again the next time we are in town.

We brought 16 college students to San Francisco for an honors leadership trip, and one of our first activities was “A Taste of Madrid” with Chef Phoebe and Chef Gabe. What a great experience! Not only did the students learn new cooking techniques and about new foods, the structure of the program allowed for them to get to know each other more, and to build communication skills as they collaborated on creating different tapas for the group to enjoy. Cozymeals and the chef were able to work with different dietary restrictions, and talk to us about different foods and what made for good substitutions. What a great experience! Phoebe is amazing!
Dana

My boyfriend Pete and I had an amazing time at our cooking class hosted by Chef Phoebe.

Chef Phoebe was spectacular. This was our first culinary experience through Cozymeal and we were surprised by how delightful it was to cook with complete strangers. The french meal was a great intro for us and we each got to participate in a different way. This certainly encourages me to look through some more cooking classes.

I couldn't stay for the entire event, but the team said they loved the experience. Some even mentioned that it was the highlight of the day. The only thing we missed asking Cozymeal staff was the accessibility issue. Turns out, one of the team members has a difficult time going up and down stairs. Other than that, it was a great event!

We had a great time with Chef Phoebe! She was very warm and welcoming, we felt right at home after a few minutes. Our experience was the "Parisian Meal". It was delicious, and Chef Phoebe had an extensive knowledge of Parisian cooking, and very interesting tips and techniques. Our group was really fun, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Also, Chef Phoebe was very patient when asked specific questions, and was happy to take her time to go in depth. I certainly recommend booking your Cozymeal experience with her.

The cooking experience with Chef Phoebe was amazing. Her personality and professional food pallet are exceptional. I work for a large pharma tech corporation and teambuilding is interwoven into the fabric of our culture. We opted for the Chefs challenge with Chef Phoebe. She graciously hosted our team at her cozy and beautify home … by the way she has the holy grail of ovens. We broke off into three teams and created custom pizzas. Each dish turned out beautifully, and the quality was superb. Next, we learned how to make fresh pasta and ended with a lovely chocolate decadent cake. Nom, nom, nom. This is indeed one of the most amazing team building activities that I’ve ever experienced. Italian food, cozy kitchen, great team, a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef, and top of the line ingredients – of course the evening was delicious. -Bobbye

The Experience we had with Chef Phoebe was AMAZING!!! The night started with us running late and we reached out to her via phone and she responded very politely that she can accommodate our tardiness. We got to her house about 15 mins late due to heavy traffic. Irregardless of our tardiness she greeted us warmly and immediately made us feel at home. Onto the kitchen!! Her facility is very warm and welcoming yet functional and able to fit all of us with ease and comfort. She informed us of our selection and unbeknownst to us we had a vegan meal!!! She gladly yet again accommodated to the carnivores in us and had some proteins on had to add to the meal. Chef Phoebe explained all instructions and guided us very well through the course. Next came the best part, the consumption of our hand made meal. Chef Phoebe had pre-set a table for us in a what seemed like a presidental dining room. We were then guided through our meal on why certain ingredients were selected and hoe they impacted the dish. Chef Phoebe doubled as our service provider and palette interpreter. In summary, Chef Phoebe is not only very knowledgable in her craft, but patient and willing to go that extra mile to ensure all our needs are met. I look forward to booking again with Chef Phoebe.

Chef Phoebe welcomed us in our home, with a very well equipped kitchen. It was a hands-on class, all of us got to contribute and learned some skills along the way. I feel well equipped to prepare the dishes again at home and I will because everything was delicious. We also had a great time eating together and stayed for an extra hour chatting. Would recommend Phoebe's Parisian dinner class anytime!

What a wonderful way to spend an evening in San Francisco! Chef Phoebe immediately made me feel welcome, as she prepared me for a night of culinary fun! From basic prep instruction to advanced cooking technique, she guided the group on every step and really created a comfortable learning environment. I thoroughly enjoyed the learning process and, of course, the amazing food! Chef Phoebe is a true professional with great skill. I recommend her to all those interested in enriching their cooking prowess and expanding their "foodie" network. :)

We had Chef Phoebe serve us food two weeks ago twice in one day! Chef first dropped off her cocktail party finger food menu at my office which was divine (especially her home-made fried chicken with her house-made dipping sauce). Later that evening, she and her Sous Chef Gabe came to my home to prepare a delicious seasonal California menu meal on-site that included a phenomenal duck confit and duck breast. Everyone really loved it and we look forward to booking Chef Phoebe again. I can definitely recommend Chef Phoebe and her catering services to anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area.

My boyfriend and I had a really wonderful experience with Phoebe's 'A Parisian Meal' class. The French onion soup was a highlight - we learned to caramelize onions and add just a few other ingredients to make an incredibly rich and flavorful soup. The Tarte Tatin was also amazing, with tender caramel-covered apples and a beautiful flaky crust. Phoebe shared fun stories about cooking school, her travels, and the restaurant and catering industry. Her down-to-earth humor made the whole evening fly right by. Phoebe taught us how to make delicious French food with good technique and simple ingredients, and I would love to recommend this class to anyone!

We had a fabulous night for our Picnic in Provence book club! Phoebe is a top notch chef and a flexible, enthusiastic partner for our home event. After hearing our request to learn to cook recipes for my book, she quickly found a copy of the book and came up with a perfect menu of appetizers and dessert. We watched her prepare the first few items while she shared many tips on French cooking. Halfway through the evening we wandered out on the back deck and began to enjoy a beautiful meal while Phoebe continued to prepare, serve and help clean up. Thank you Phoebe!!
Tanya
27 Jul 2016
We had a great time. Chef Phoebe was fun and knowledgable. The menu advertised wasn't exactly what we ended up cooking, and was only 3 courses instead of 4 which we were bummed out about, but the food we did make was great. Everything she taught us to make were with ingredients that you would normally have in your kitchen, or local grocery store so that was awesome!

Chef Phoebe hosted our team event for our group of 8. Most of group had little or no cooking skills and she patiently explained the basics plus some of the finer points of what we were cooking. The class was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and the bonus was actually sitting down to a tasty meal at the end of the evening. I'll definitely be recommending Chef Phoebe to other teams at my company that are looking for an event that everyone can participate in, and enjoy.

We did a company team event with Chef Phoebe, with the Italian Pasta menu. Chef Phoebe was patient and informative, and the class was the right mix of having the participants make the food vs. relaxing and socializing (i.e. the Chef and her assistant did enough prep to help move the class along and skillfully helped and facilitated). The dinner was delicious and the team enjoyed the experience!

Great experience with Phoebe -- thank you so much! What I loved most: - Delicious food, even with the [potentially limiting] "Irish" theme - Extremely easy to work with and accommodating of our group -- which turned out to be only mildly interesting in cooking for themselves -- and she kept everything on track & on time nevertheless - Very accommodating of dietary restrictions; she put together a beautifully-plated one-off vegetarian plate amidst the main meat course - Great service throughout: she and her team did all the set-up and clean-up and did a superb job of serving us (both food courses & keeping glasses full) during the meal itself All in all, an incredibly smooth, well-facilitated, and DELICIOUS event!

We had a great event with Chef Phoebe for our work get together. The food was delicious and Chef Phoebe and her co-chefs were knowledgeable and personable. Everyone had a great time and raved about the event. I would highly recommend her for cooking events!

Pros: Phoebe was very knowledgeable about the techniques that applied to the food and was able to provide a cultural context for each of the dishes we were making, which made the experience very interesting Cons: The food didn't turn out superb. Dessert was great but a majority of the meal was average. I also felt Phoebe was not super social / hospitable, which several other guests also commented on throughout the night.

Although I was not one of the attendees, only the planner, last nite I got an email message from five of the staff who attended, including my CEO, thanking me for organizing such a totally wonderful evening. They thought the service was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you again for everything and I will definitely use Cozy Meal again in the future.

Chef Phoebe was knowledgeable and eager to teach our group all about Italian cooking. She was patient, friendly, and brought along a fabulous team of sous chefs to help out.

Chef Phoebe was amazing. She was very friendly, fun and informative about the what we were cooking. Her team was great as well. They were helpful, kind and patient. We had some 1st timers in our group and by the end of the evening they went home learning how to cook. The group was very pleased with the event. We would surely request Chef Phoebe again.

We enjoyed the cooking session, but didn't learn as much as we hoped. Wasnt organized in a manner to learn all the dishes that was being prepared.

Phoebe was excellent. She was able to answer all questions and successfully divide her time between all class participants. She is obviously very knowledgable about all types of cuisines. She put together a very balanced and more importantly, delicious meal. I would take another class with her and highly recommend her.

If you are looking for a French cooking class in San Francisco, you should book with Chef Phoebe. We started with a French onion soup (DELICIOUS!!), followed by Cheese Souflees, then Beef Bourguignon, and finally with a really tasty dessert.

Phoebe was an amazing host. Our group of 6 had a wonderful time and we all really loved the food. We would recommend 'A Parisian Meal'!

The meal was delicious. Would have liked more instruction with printed recipes as each course was being prepared so that I could learn how to make the meal on my own. Felt like I had to prompt that information when I paid $99 to have instruction on how to prepare a meal. Phoebe was friendly and forthcoming with information when asked.

Phoebe is a great chef! She knows a ton about food and is happy to handle any and all questions that are thrown her way. The food was excellent, and the meal kept us busy the whole time (we all did a couple of things together, and then took turns doing the rest based on what interested us). We learned quite a bit and are all excited to try at least one recipe again at home!

Chef Phoebe's French dishes are so impressive. I had never heard of pommes duchesse -- puréed potatoes, mashed, piped, and baked. Never have I had potatoes in such a beautiful form. They were so golden and reminiscent of flowers and served as the perfect side to her amazing beef bourguignon. Chef Phoebe is also really fun to talk to. I'd definitely recommend this class!
