Catering - A Taste of Wine Country

Lauren

Chef Phoebe was a great host and teacher for our Taste of Japan class! My team had a great time, and everyone liked doing some hands on sushi-making, but sort of only really needing to do the fun parts (and not the prep, clean up or preparation of the sides). We also appreciated the history and technique that Chef Phoebe taught us. Lastly, the venue was absolutely perfect and we loved having the private setting.

For my husband's 50th birthday celebration, we had Chef Gabe prepare a wonderful sushi dinner while the server he worked with did an excellent job doing everything else. They were professional, thorough and friendly. They worked seemlessly throughout our entire dinner, making it possible for my husband and I to relax and enjoy ourselves while being the hosts! The sushi was simply presented and most importantly, the fish was FRESH and delicious! I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was an evening to remember!

Wonderful time with Chef Phoebe! Unbelievably knowledgeable in the sushi class, and I imagine the same would be true for plenty of other classes, and has a great personality for these types of classes. Highly recommend!

A wonderful evening. Informative, delicious, and entertaining!

Chef Phoebe’s gourmet sushi cooking class was great! We heard about her personal and career journey as a chef, the history of sushi, and learned various techniques for cutting and preparing different kinds of sushi. She bought several different kinds of fish and also cooked a couple extra side dishes (okinomiyaki and tempura). We ate a boatload of sushi and had more to take home in Tupperware that she provided. Additionally, she had some non-alcoholic drinks (sparkling water) and allowed us to drink 2 bottles of wine we brought. Chef Phoebe gave us so many great grocery shopping and restaurant recommendations in San Francisco and fostered a warm, fun environment for me, my girlfriend and 2 friends. I definitely plan on taking another class with Chef Phoebe! Thanks for such a wonderful experience!

Quite possibly one of the most fun cooking classes I've ever taken. Chef Phoebe was SUPER knowledgeable and her sushi making class was easy and accessible to everybody that attend. The sushi, tempura and mochi were all so delicious. Highly recommend for anybody looking for a fun activity in the city!

04 Nov 2018

home was beautiful and I know 2 hours isn't much time to prepare meals together, but I would have liked more involvement for all of us to prep the meals. I wasn't happy with so many carbs and the flatbreads were missing spices. Potatoes were the highlight. Bruschetta were boring. needed some basil.

Sara

We had a wonderful experience in Chef Phoebe's beautiful kitchen for our French-Japanese fusion team building event. Chef Phoebe balanced the evening very well between providing direction, letting us get our hands dirty, and also taking action to help get some of our courses on the table. It was enough to keep us all engaged, but give us a chance to enjoy some wine and connect as a team. Everyone loved the event and the food - we highly recommend Chef Phoebe and any of her culinary events,

Chef Phoebe's pasta workshop was probably my favorite team activity of all time - and there have been many! Her place was extremely spacious and comfortable, with great cooking and relaxing spaces. The class itself is easy, a lot of fun, accompanied by great food - and we got to eat our delicious pasta at the end. Wholeheartedly recommended!

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!!!

Katarina

19 Sep 2018

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!

Kyle

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!

Chelsea

17 Sep 2018

This was my second event with Chef Phoebe and she is incredible to work with. The Cozymeal team is incredibly easy to work with, happily accommodate all of our needs, and found us an incredible venue. Thank you so much Phoebe and team, you all are fantastic!!

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.

Chef Phoebe was a delightful instructor and handled a large crowd very well. She was very conscious of our group's allergies and was a joy to take instruction from. Would recommend her for any size group and would gladly receive instruction from her again. Thanks Chef Phoebe!

We had a great experience taking Chef Phoebe's cooking class! We learned a lot about French Cuisine, traditional cooking methods, eastern and western knife holding and knife types, and more! She had a lovely kitchen with all the facilities to learn and the meal we cooked turned our great in the end. Definitely recommend!

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! I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a fun evening!

Chef Phoebe was great. She's very knowledgeable, a lot of fun, and everyone loved her!

andrew

09 Feb 2018

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.

Blake

17 Jan 2018

It was amazing. We had a great time with chef phoebe. She taught us a ton. And the food was delicious. We enjoyed meeting new people and having dinner. It was a great experience and we are already looking forward to doing another one with chef phoebe

Samantha

Phoebe is a very welcoming host and the food we cooked at the class was delicious. She explained us a lot of nuances and differences between small things, like what knive to use, what pans are the best and so on.

Leya

08 Dec 2017

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.

Carmela

04 Dec 2017

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.

Michele

01 Dec 2017

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.

Jenny

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.

Ellen

28 Oct 2017

We had a great time and I would do it again. Thank you. Would love to receive the recipes for onion soup.

Chef Phoebe was amazing. I hosted a Bridal Shower for 14 women. She was very professional and kind and the meal she prepared (Sushi) was out of this world. I would recommend her to everyone.

We were very happy with Phoebe and her team. The food was absolutely wonderful and Phoebe did a great job of explaining the process of making Sushi, the history, etc. We all learned a lot in this class. We also loved the location in North Beach and the kitchen made for a nice, intimate gathering. We were very happy with this experience overall.

18 Sep 2017

My mom, sister and I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking evening with chef phoebe and her sous chef!! The class met our expectations and we walked away with some great tips....not to mention a full tummy of wonderful food!! I would definitely recommend Chef Phoebe's class to family and friends!! I may even sign up for another one in my next visit to SF.

Cindy

08 Sep 2017

We had a blast! Chef Phoebe was so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating and taught us about how desserts are made in different countries ... It was a fun, educational and delicious experience. Highly recommended!

Emily

05 Sep 2017

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.

Sarah

01 Sep 2017

We had a wonderful experience. Everyone enjoyed the variety of dishes we created in a timely fashion, Phoebe had it down like clock work!

Chelsea

Yunong

05 Aug 2017

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.

Anna

02 Aug 2017

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.

Jean

01 Aug 2017

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.

Sloane

28 Jul 2017

Thanks so much to Chef Phoebe. My coworkers and I had a great time learning about french cuisine and worked together to cook a delicious meal. Definitely consider Cozymeal + Chef Phoebe for your next cooking class :)

Samantha

21 Jul 2017

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.

Such a great chief / host! Phoebe guided us through each step of the process with patience and resourcefulness. I would recommend her to anyone interested!

C. Patrick

12 Jul 2017

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.

Lori

11 Jul 2017

Phoebe was wonderful and the food was terrific. Highly recommend this class we will be back.

Paige

30 Jun 2017

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!

Marian

29 Jun 2017

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.

Antonio

Chef Phoebe and the Cozy Meal team were a dream to work with. Super organized and very simple. I knew that I was in good hands and that I wouldn't need to micro manage their team at all.

Boryana

04 May 2017

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!

Fantastic experience!! The menu was healthy, delicious, and fairly simple. This is a great class for a small team or group who are trying to get started in the kitchen. Chef Phoebe was extremely knowledgeable and patient. Also, her home is lovely and spacious. I will be trying all of the recipes at home on my own. -- Highly recommend.

Susan

19 Apr 2017

What a great experience! Learned done really good tips for the kitchen. Chef Pheobe was open to answering all of our questions. And a fantastic dinner on top of that.

Ginger

17 Apr 2017

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.

Adrianne

14 Apr 2017

Chef Phoebe orchestrated a lovely evening and our party of four had a great time learning about French cooking, participating at the level they felt comfortable and sharing the delicious meal we helped cook. We all learned so much and left inspired to try the recipes at home.

Jessica

12 Apr 2017

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.

Melanie

04 Apr 2017

We really enjoyed learning how to cook with Chef Phoebe. She knows a lot about French cuisine!!! All of the recipes that we learned how to cook turned out delicious!!!

Naomi

23 Mar 2017

What a great learning experience. Phoebe taught us all something from my 84 year old mother in law to my 12 year old son. We truly enjoyed every minute of it!

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.

Sara

09 Mar 2017

Lots of fun and super tasty

April

I really enjoyed my experience with Chef Phoebe. She is knowledgeable, skilled, professional, as well as very hospitable and engaging. I would definitely take another class with her in the future.

Monica

22 Feb 2017

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.

Roz

16 Feb 2017

Had a fantastic cooking session with Chef Phoebe. Learned so much and really enjoyed the cooking and meal! Definitely would go back.

Michael

15 Feb 2017

Phoebe was great! This was our first cozy meal. Phoebe created a really casual and welcoming environment. We learned a lot during the class, which came out great. Most important, we had a fun experience.

Loree

11 Feb 2017

The team raved about this offsite as one of the best we've had. The space was perfect and Chef Phoebe was a great instructor. It was nice for everyone to have the option to choose how much they wanted to participate in cooking. Also wonderful having the piano there! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Tom

11 Feb 2017

I had a great time also meeting new people and just talking about random things and different place to eat or different styles of cooking.

Phoebe was amazing! She was informative but easy enough for a novice like me to understand. Phoebe is super great woman and Chef, she made the group feel at home and I would do this again! Phoebe answered everyone's questions, she really was amazing. What a great evening and experience, my very first cooking class.

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.

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.

Chef Phoebe was truly a pro! She was able to delegate tasks appropriately and all the while we had a good time. She accommodated our dietary restrictions with ease. We would use her again.

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!

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!

Chef Phoebe opened up her home kitchen to provide a lesson in basic cooking skills for my daughter and the food turned out fine! Thanks Chef!

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

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!
