I was never notified by Cozymeal that the class was cancelled. We had driven over an hour to get there. Chef Maria was very nice and contrite but she wasn’t given a method to contact us by Cozymeal. It was a major inconvenience and I don’t think I would book through Cozymeal again. They have done nothing so far to make things right.

Chef Maria was a wonderful guide to Greek cuisine! The food was amazing, and everyone had a great time. We chopped herbs, made doughnuts, and everyone had plenty to eat. I’d do this again! The entire team had a great time.

Chef Maria's Greek cooking class was incredible! Start to finish, she was attentive, creative, and offered unique wisdom from her homeland. If you're looking for a class for a group large or small, do not hesitate to book Chef Maria!
