Chef Laura

Laura was very kind and friendly from the moment we booked this reservation. She opened her beautiful home to us all and made us feel right at home. She was the perfect host and I can not wait to work with her again. The Argentina dish was delicious and she provided enough for us to have leftovers to repeat at home on our own.

My wife and I really enjoyed our class with Chef Laura! I had tried to book this class in the past but it was cancelled due to Chef Laura's kitchen remodel, which turned out great. She was very gracious in trying to re-schedule our class and making it work for us. Although we couldn't make it work that time, we were finally able to attend her class and I'm glad we did. The food was excellent and we had tons of leftovers. And Chef Laura did a great job of explaining why she did things the way she did and answering all of our questions. Highly recommend!

Fantastic class! Loved all the recipes and Chef Laura was amazing!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Super friendly, great kitchen, and very knowledgeable. We'll be back for another class!

Laura was fantastic!! We had such a great time. You must take a class by her!

We thoroughly enjoyed our class with Chef Laura. It was a great mother/son date night. Chef Laura was very pleasant, welcoming and professional. The menu was prepped to perfection, which helped when trying to focus on the cooking techniques. The meal was delicious! We would love to take another class in the future!

The cooking lesson was great! I got it as a birthday gift for my husband and we both enjoyed it very much. The food was delicious and the kitchen was incredibly cozy and clean. Thank you for sharing your expertise Chef Laura!

Chef Laura brings her lively and efficient self to the table for a fun experience. Her kitchen is white and clean and light. Good cooking vibes. Wish she had coffee and cream there, instant Tim Hortons maybe? Eh?

Laura is wonderful! We learned so much once again, and had fun doing it. His her is lovely. It's so fun to sit & eat our dishes over a bottle of wine.

Chef Laura was professional and excellent at what she does. Her space was meticulously clean and beautiful to work in. She was gregarious and kept conversation flowing while teaching us about cooking. I learned so much from this class! Quite a few things I’ve been doing wrong and got some tips on new cookware for my first home. The experience was a fun thing to do as a couple and my husband who was very skeptical had a great time and even said he would join me for another one. I thought Chef Laura was just as educational and informative as encouraging. I loved the meal we made and feel more confident making empanadas, steak and dulce de leche dessert on my own now. I can’t wait to try the recipes at home! We had some leftovers from our class so I will have the opportunity to try making the empanadas again on my own using my oven. I will definitely be coming back as I think this is a fun activity.

What an incredible experience! Chef Laura was so welcoming, and the class was very informative, full of tips, tricks, and best practices. We were blown away by how wonderful everything came out. I would strongly recommend Chef Laura for a wonderful experience.

Loved the class and how well laid out everything was while being very engaging

This was a great culinary experience. Chef Laura took us step-by-step and gave important tips and tricks that don't show up in recipes.

Chef Laura is wonderful. I do not typically cook much of anything and have never been that interested however, she makes preparing a meal fun and interesting and definitely does not make me feel inadequate because I'm not familiar with some of the terminology or methods. I have now been in 2 group sessions with her and would highly recommend her.

Chef Laura did a great job teaching us to prepare some great food. It was a wonderful experience. Looking forward to another session with Chef Laura

When we received a gift certificate from our daughter from Cozymeal. We were not sure what to think about the idea, until after our class and now we are hooked!

This was our (my husband and I) first cooking class. Chef Laura is so kind, funny and a genuine person. The whole experience was wonderful! We highly recommend Chef Laura and Cozymeal 10/10! We will be signing up for another cooking class and include some friends.

CHEF LAURA IS AWESOME! Laura was so fun, friendly, accommodating, and prepared to help us cook! My friend and I had such a good time, we cooked a delicious meal with Laura’s guidance and even had some leftover ingredients to bring home for the fam! She coached us through the meal, gave us pro tips for cooking in the future, and just had a very well-rounded, hands-on experience! We cooked with light music on in the background, then got to enjoy the meal in her beautiful home! Every little detail just made the experience even better and it was so so appreciated! My friend and I were talking about bringing our friends and/or our moms next time because it was such a fun time! 10/10 would recommend to others!

We had a great time learning and eating!

Chef Laura made our cooking experience absolutely wonderful!! We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and would very much like to explore other opportunities to take other classes from her. Such a fun date night for us!

As usual chef Laura exceeded our expectations. Had a great time, she’s the best!

This was a true cooking class. We all had such fun exploring this Mediterranean delight. The atmosphere was perfect and so was the food. If you are looking for an amazing experience, take this class with Chef Laura

Amazing time and excellent meal!

Excellent evening of cooking and learning in her beautiful home kitchen. The menu was a well planned 3-course Tuscan meal. Chef Laura is a formally trained chef with quite a bit of experience. She walked us through all of the steps of preparation in a calm, enjoyable way. Unlike other cooking schools where the teacher performs the difficult work, she has us perform every step. We are experienced cooks but still learned some new techniques. Laura is very personable and a great conversationalist. The dinner was delicious and we would definitely recommend Chef Laura to others.

It was a great experience! Best cooking class I’ve ever been to.

Thank you, Laura!

Chef Laura was great. She was so much fun and we could tell that not only does she really love what she does but she also really loves sharing and teaching what she does! She made the whole experience that much more fun and we definitely plan to cook with her again in the near future!

Wonderful experience-I highly recommend Chef Laura’s class! The food was well planned and the prep work she had done made everything flow seamlessly. She has a great personality for hosting and leading class-made everyone feel comfortable and engaged. Will definitely take another class from her when I’m back in town:)

I liked it better than the first time! It's a really nice time and a really good menu and chef and atmosphere. Will do it again sometime!

Chef Laura was great to work with. Amazing food and fun experience.

The BEST time with Chef Laura!! We are already planning our next class with her. She was so kind, knowledgeable and patient! My wife and I had the best time! If you aren’t sure about it, trust me and give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

Excellent class and very enjoyable! I was 5 minutes late for the class which is terrible but Laura made me feel quite comfortable and everything was just great! Although I'm not a chef I have home cooking experience and I watch a lot of cooking shows and this was my first class and I learned a few things so looking forward to the next one!

Laura was enthusiastic and very knowledgable. Her recipes were great!

Laura was great. Her home was a perfect set up for a cooking class and she not only showed us how to prepare, cook and serve the food, she was personable funny and engaging. We took five family members and had a lot of fun cooking with Chef Laura. We prepped the food, ate a great meal and she had us prepare enough to take home and cook again on our own. I highly recommend going for a fun cooking class and tasty meal at Chef Laura’s.

Laura did a fanstatic job of making the class fun while being very educational!

Such an amazing experience. Chef Laura was so fun and so personable. But most importantly, the food was amazing!! And she helped us to do that ourselves. I leaned so much that I can take home and put into practice in my own kitchen. 10/10 would absolutely book again!

Chef Laura's class was an amazing experience! She was very thorough, thoughtful, and friendly with our group. The food prep and cooking was both fun and informative, and the dishes turned out excellent. Definitely planning to attend another one of her classes!

She gave great tips and information about the menu and the cooking techniques. We look forward to booking with her in the future!

Chef Laura is great! She is very personable and was so organized. We loved her food and presentation of the class. She felt like a friend we'd known for a long time. We will definitely take another class with her.

Fun experience, amazing food!

The presentation was outstanding! Chef Laura was very friendly and was well prepared. It was a very enjoyable event. We learned a lot and she easily made us feel comfortable. The meal came out absolutely delicious.

Fantastic Chef and host. Delicious food. Great menu. Easy to follow instructions, useful kitchen tips, and a wonderful meal. Made new friends in class... and did I mention how good the food was? The chimmichurri was amazing flavor to accentuate everything else on our plates. Steaks were perfect. Empanadas were tasty. Highly recommend Chef Laura, and look forward to attending more of her classes.

This was such a great experience and she was extremely accommodating of my food allergies!! The food was phenomenal and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

We had a wonderful time with Chef Laura! The food was delicious and so fun to make.

Lovely experience start to finish! Chef Laura was warm and personable and her recipes were delicious - and so easy! My mum and I both felt this evening was a highlight of our trip to Southern California. We’re looking forward to recreating this meal - and especially that lemon tart - for friends and friends at home. Thank you so much Chef Laura, for a memorable evening!

We had a great time and learned quite a bit. Chef Laura was fun to work with. We would definitely book another dinner.

Everything was excellent. Delicious food and I learned a lot. Chef Laura is the best!

My Mother and enjoyed Chef Laura’s cooking class, last night. It was just my mother and I participating in Chef Laura’s gourmet kitchen. Her skills, kindness, and professionalism far exceeded my expectations. The food (which my Mum and I prepared, with her direction) was out of this world AMAZING! We learned so much and had so much fun. Chef Laura truly made this experience extremely enjoyable. Not only do I highly recommend her, but this won’t be the last time that I take a class with her. Anyone who is graced with her presence and has the opportunity to learn from her is lucky! Thank you, Chef Laura!

My boyfriend got my mom and I this class for Mother’s Day. We had the BEST time! My mom is an amazing chef and I am... well.. not. My mom picked up so many new tips and tricks snd was so excited! She told my boyfriend to give this present to us every Mother’s Day. Laura was absolutely a star and we could not say enough about her. She is a talented chef that is sharing her passion with others and it shows. Her prep work and thought she put into our cooking class was outstanding. It all ended too quickly and we wanted to stay longer. Best gift ever and we had such a great night. Thank you chef Laura for letting us cook snd learn under your expert eyes!!!!

She was outstanding! This was WAY out of our comfort zone but chef Laura was easy to talk to and made my husband and I open up and laugh! It was our 30th anniversary and honestly, I would go this again and again!

Laura is amazing! She's kind and enjoyable. We enjoyed our cooking with her! She was very caring and patient. We highly recommend taking one of her classes!

What a fabulous time! Chef Laura is a delight! Highly recommend.

Chef Laura is such a great teacher, which is reflected through her patience and kindness. I recommend Chef Laura to anyone in a heartbeat! Hence, it's a no-brainer to rate the experience with a 10/10

My wife and I were greeted by a gracious host. Chef Laura was well organized and the cooking flow was smooth. I improved my stake cooking ability and my wife enjoyed her favorite dish of the nite, Lemon tart!

Laura was an amazing host and teacher. Would vouch for her in a heartbeat, she’s the best.

Great recipes. Great meal. Great hostess and chef. Wonderful afternoon.

Laura was amazing. She made everyone feel at home and comfortable. She explained everything very well. She was sweet and helpful. The meal was absolutely amazing.

Great meal, beautiful house and a gracious chef with a great personality.

Chef Laura was more than that. She was a wonderful host. Her house was perfect, her kitchen was exquisite. Could not of asked for a better evening. Recipes that she presented were so tasty, with ingredients that are readily available. I can’t say enough good things! Go, and enjoy!

Fabulous! Such fun and a delicious dinner!

Laura's home was so perfect for our cooking date. She made us feel so comfortable in her kitchen, and we really learned some great recipes. It was fun and delicious!

My husband and I cannot stop talking about how amazing Chef Laura was on our date night cooking lesson. She was fun, friendly, and approachable. Thank you for teaching us how to cook Tuscan cuisine in your beautiful kitchen and home! It was quite a memorable experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Chef Laura. She created a menu of delicious food. Everything was pre-measured to save time. We were able to enjoy each others' company and relax while we prepared our delicious dinner. Chef Laura is a pleasure to spend time with.

Laura was a delight to learn cooking a meal from. We will definitely be booking another meal with her again

Great experience and great food! Felt very at home in Laura’s home. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

My wife Debbie and I had a wonderful and educational evening with Chef Laura. Everything was delicious and Chef Laura walked us through all the steps so they will be easy for us to prepare ourselves in the future. It was our anniversary so this was the perfect evening for us. Thank you Chef Laura!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our evening cooking! It was everything we could have wanted and more... beautiful environment, delicious food and an incredible hostess.

Our session with Chef Laura was outstanding ! We learned a lot, had a great time and a great meal.

Chef Laura was awesome, her place was beautiful and well laid out for the “class”. The recipes were perfect for the time we had. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and plan to come back. You will not be disappointed.

Chef Laura was gracious and encouraging. Her kitchen was ideal for teaching and the tools and ingredients were fully prepped. The recipes were well chosen and the finished dishes were delicious. A perfect way to spend an evening.

This is a 5 star experience. Laura is a fantastic chef, teacher and hostess. My wife and I had so much fun with her. Laura can teach you something about food if you're a beginner or an expert. She has an outstanding personality and hosts in her beautiful home and fabulously equipped kitchen. The food you will make is better than any 5 star restaurant in San Diego. If you want to have a blast..do this!!

Chef Laura is a pleasure to work with. She is very sweet and explains the process of her food preparation in detail. Her culinary skills are amazing with unique recipes that are easy to recreate. Chef Laura's space is extremely clean and presentable, making me feel very comfortable and welcome into her home. Thank you, Chef Laura, for being amazing!!

Beyond being knowledgeable and an incredible cook, Chef Laura is warm and encouraging. My daughters absolutely love her classes! They have learned how to make complex dishes, like macarons, and it has built their confidence in the kitchen. So excited that she will be offering more classes!

Chef Laura’s classes are so much fun! She is organized, talented, and patient. We love the thought and planning she puts into her classes and how she consistently makes food that turns out beautifully. We have learned and take away a lot from Chef Laura and will keep signing up for more classes in the future.

Both of my girls are cooking and baking with confidence after spending time with Chef Laura! Thanksgiving was so fun this past year with them as my helpers! Many of Chef Laura’s recipes made our holiday menu.

As I had the opportunity to take two of her awesome classes, I would highly recommend the talented and lovely Chef Laura! Her straight forward clear instructions, as well as organizational skills and delightful personality made for a fun, smooth and educational experience in a group setting. The first class was "Healthy Desserts." Chef Laura provided incredible knowledge on baking, pastry techniques and ingredient substitutions according to nutrition, particular food allergies or even tastes. Everything was so yummy! The second class was "Fast, Healthy, Delicious Meals." We learned proper knife skills (I still think of what I learned each time I chop!) , tips on meal prep and how to make several DELICIOUS quick dinners. It was a blast to learn from Chef Laura and at the end of the evening take home all of our creations. I give Chef Laura 5 stars and highly recommend, as I truly enjoyed learning from her and had so much fun in the process!

Chef Laura is knowledgable, professional and fun!! Whether you are a beginner or have been cooking for a long time, Chef Laura is for you. I have enjoyed three cooking classes taught by her and have walked away every time with loads of new information, tips and tasty, healthy food to eat. The recipes were wonderful and my family has enjoyed everything that I have made from the classes. For one of the classes, Chef Laura planned and prepared a special cooking class for my friends and I to enjoy a girl's night out and to learn new recipes using an instant pot. It was such a fun night that my friends and I still talk about and want to plan for another class with her. 5 stars don't express enough how highly I recommend Chef Laura.

I took a pasta making class with Chef Laura. I'd never made pasta from scratch so I thought it was going to be hard and a lot of work. Chef Laura showed me how easy and fun it is. Mixing up the dough was really easy and I enjoyed feeding the pasta back and forth through the rollers. Right away I knew I wanted to get the roller attachment for my mixer. She sent us home with the recipe for the pasta and the amazing sauce. I can't wait for my next class!

Both my daughter (12 yrs old) and I have taken cooking classes with Laura both together and separately. Laura has flavorful and seasonally fresh menu ideas that can take you all the way thru your week of meal planning. I appreciate that Laura has thought thru how meal prep for one night short cuts the next nights menu preparations so that a bit of hard work on one night makes the rest of the week so easy. I never felt like I needed anything more than a good knife in order to execute her recipes at home. Laura gives you great explanations and simple shortcuts from how to wield a knife properly to how to chose your produce and proteins and best places to shop. Every class I always came away with wonderful "ah-ha" moments and "who knew?" discoveries. Laura's instructions are simple and efficient and oh my goodness...the flavors she combines in her menu recipes are refreshing and different for all taste pallets maximizing seasonal options that give you the best nutrition as well. Laura has the ability and knowledge to teach kids and adults of all ages and expertise. You always walk away with a great packet of recipes and wonderful nuggets of tasty knowledge. I highly recommend Laura's classes.
