Chef Ryan's donut making class was SO fun! We not only learned how to make three different types of donuts and the methodology behind each type of dough, but we also got to be hands on making them and decorating them ourselves. I would say that our donuts being consumed in less than 30 seconds speaks for just how great they were! If you are looking for a fun interactive class be sure to take this one.

Great introduction to the science of pasta and the landscape of things you can do with 4 ingredients. We got to explore color and texture and make 3 very different pastas (and 3 meals worth of food) in the 2-hour session. Definitely recommended.

We loved the class, very informative with the right amount of work done for you mixed with hands on aspects. Tons of donuts, went home full with a to go box as well. Ryan was awesome and clearly knows what he's doing in terms of making donuts and running classes. I'll be recommending to friends and family for sure!

Amazing! Chef Ryan was so authentic and kind. His passion for teaching and food shows in a really comfortable and genuine way. You can tell that he really cares about what he does. This was my first Cozymeal class and was initially fearful that I'd mess everything up but Chef Ryan's approach in teaching made me feel that I can try making any of these dishes at home. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed his class and have already recommended others to take this class :)

Fun class. Especially enjoyed learning more some tips and tricks for choux pastry. Majority of class hands-on is cutting and frying. You're also free to experiment with your flavor combos, which is fun. Prepare to take home a lot of donuts!

Chef Ryan was great! My husband and I have made pasta before, but nothing ever turned out like the meals we ate during this class. It was a good balance of leaning, watching, and doing. This class is great for people of all cooking levels - nothing is too challenging. It was also fun to bring your own bottle of wine and chat with everyone around you. I highly recommend the class and look forward to taking more through Cozymeal.

This was a class that I booked for my pasta-loving husband. We had previously tried making pasta at home following recipes, but always never knew if the results we were getting were consistent with the end goals of the recipe. Chef Ryan was welcoming and patient, and he taught us three great doughs, and ways to shape them with or without equipment. He was also quick to answer all our questions, and even did a small demonstration to show us what he was talking about when mixing pasta by hand. Looking forward to testing out our new found knowledge in our kitchen!

We loved our Cozymeal experience with Chef Ryan. My wife and I attended along with 6 other guests. It lasted 2.5 or 3 hours and we made 3 different dishes. It was a really nice space and fit the 8 people who attended very comfortably. There was a good amount of participation and we learned a lot about some pretty unique pastas. Chef Ryan was extremely knowledgable and had some cool stories to share about Italian pasta legends :) The food was incredibly delicious. It was BYOW (wine) which was cool. Over the past couple of years, I've been to 5 or 6 cooking classes at various venues (not through Cozymeal), and this was by far the best one.

Victoria

05/26/18

First off the 3 stars I gave to the course by no means represents Chef Ryan's knowledge in donut making. He was knowledgeable, funny, and a good teacher. The reason for the 3 star rating is because I found for myself in taking cooking classes I learn best when I actually get to make the recipe. I think because the location was smaller each student couldn't physically have a mixer and work with his/her own ingredients. So we watch Chef Ryan prepare all the doughs and listened to his expertise. The only physical thing we really did was fry our own donuts and glaze them. Because there were two friers and 9 students I was busy frying when Chef Ryan was showing the group how to make some of the glazes, which I was sad about. I feel that for the type of class that was offered and the little about of 'baking' I actually got to do I don't think I overpaid. I was still happy I got eat donuts though!!

An excellent class! I bake quite a bit, but have never really explored the world of donuts. Chef Ryan made them approachable by going step by step through three different ways of making donuts. Not to mention they were delicious! I would definitely recommend for any level of expertise :)

Chef Ryan is a rockstar. I gave this class to my boyfriend for Christmas and had no idea what to expect. Needless to say, we were blown away not only by how good the food ended up being, but how great of a teacher Chef Ryan was and how hilarious he is! We really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to try another of his classes AND to visit his new pasta shop on Fillmore.

Loved the experience. While I do wish there was more hands-on things to do in the class, learning how to make pasta was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday early afternoon with my boyfriend (it was a surprise Christmas gift/date for us both). Chef Ryan is funny, chill, and down to earth. I liked the vibe he set out, and the 2.5 hours breezed by. And my goodness, the FOOD. My favorite from the menu was the Strascinati "Guisantes" (with pea green strascinati pasta) – holy sh*t, lemon marscapone paired with the bright greens made this party in my mouth that left my jaw hanging. Freshest, tastiest pasta dish I've tasted that I can proudly say I contributed to with my own two hands! Hoping to take more of his classes down the line. :) Thanks, Chef Ryan!

We had an amazing time celebrating my friend's birthday. Chef Ryan was very informative and well educated in the dynamics of creating delicious donuts and churros. He answered our questions and encouraged our 'creative minds.' We created our own designs, which was great as there were creative talents in our group. My boyfriend loved the mochi-like donut as it was very similar to dinner rolls and certain Chinese bakery breads. We had plenty of donuts at the end, which we happily packaged away in togo boxes. Recipe printouts and water were provided, but if you prefer other drinks, feel free to bring your own. For those who prefer protein for food and/or get 'hangry' easily, I recommend eating a snack before class. Enjoy!

09/22/17

Chef Ryan was amazing! We lucked out and had a very intimate group (just Ryan, myself, and my best friend). The pasta was SO AMAZING. Especially the homemade rabbit sausage the chef had ready for the class. We'll be taking more classes with Ryan!

We have taken cooking classes all over the world taking cooking classes and this is one of the best we have taken. We absolutely loved his Advanced Italian 2.

Very knowledgeable, and patient with new students. I feel now empowered to make pasta, and even the more difficult pasta shapes are demystified and now achievable for me. He not only taught us about technique but also about a little food science behind semolina, acorn, and all purpose flours. And the food was delicious!

Chef Ryan was an incredibly great teacher and host. I did this class with 4 other of my family members and another couple that was there. Chef Ryan was very personable and did a perfect job making us feel welcome and able to ask questions. He was very engaging and fun - it far surpassed experiences I've had with chefs not associated with Cozymeal. I give this my highest recommendation. Oh, and the food was INCREDIBLE

07/29/17

Ehrik

07/29/17

Chef Ryan was awesome! He was incredibly friendly, responsive to questions, and knowledgable of his craft. There were lots of couples at our class, and I think everyone left thinking this was a lovely (and delicious) date night. We especially appreciated that Chef Ryan showed us how to prepare some less common dough recipes and pasta shapes. One note: even though the title of the class is "Advance Pasta Making", my date and I went in without any previous pasta making experience and were completely fine.

Chef Ryan is truly skilled at teaching the craft of donut making. He has all of the equipment and tools needed for hands-on training. Method is clearly taught and learning was a lot of fun. I don't know if I'll challenge myself to want a store bought donut now that I know that I can make better ones at home.

We did this class for my brother's 30th bday and it was a blast. We will definitely be doing Chef Ryan's other classes, and may even do this class again when we have family in town. Chef Ryan makes sure that you're learning from him, but also are having a hands on experience making the donuts. We loved that he explained all the science behind his recipes. Can't recommend this class enough!

Chef Ryan was great! He was very informative and had great background stories for all the pasta's, Italy, and food in general. He broke everything down easy to understand, and made my girlfriend and I feel like pasta chefs. The food was delicious and really enjoyed every plate. So happy with the service and the night. Have already recommended to many friends.

Chef Ryan was an excellent person for our group to look to cook from. We had a party of 6 and it was a surprise birthday party for my fiance. I was a little anxious as to how the night was going to turn out but everybody had a great time! He was very accommodating to all our needs and everyone of us got to make pasta. The pasta dishes were all delicious as well. Don't hesitate to book this chef for your event!

Chef Ryan's class was a birthday treat for my boyfriend, and we had a fun time making donuts and churros. We learned some science and techniques behind the dough as Ryan demonstrated, then got to shape, fry, and glaze the treats ourselves. We took a big box home and ate them for breakfast the next three days :)

This class was excellent. Chef Ryan shared a huge amount of knowledge, but did so in a personal and fun setting that made you feel like you were learning from a close family member.

Overall great experience. One feedback, it would have been nice if he were more friendly and approachable. He seemed to pick his favorites and was unfortunately not as nice to the rest. I thanked him before leaving and only got a staring glare. This was actually for my birthday so it just would have been a nicer experience if he weren't so unapproachable to the people he perhaps didn't like as much.

Chef Ryan was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and loved to chat about his experiences, details, and aspirations. It's certainly a very "cozy" experience. We rolled the pasta, and he did most of the cooking. Fun event, thanks!

06/11/17

I was particularly pleased with the explanation of the science behind it all. The one downside was the size of the class (which is the only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5). 10 was too many for the space. Other than that...excellent class.

Chef Ryan was great. My mom and I really enjoyed the class and learning from him. He did a great job adding stories about his background and the pasta we were making and sharing about his time in Italy / why he has a passion for what he is doing. Can't wait to visit his restaurant when it opens!

Our class with Chef Ryan was fantastic! He explained the process, demonstrated techniques, then assisted guests as they needed. All of the guests had a great time and learned some new techniques. Chef Ryan has the natural ability to instruct with an easy-going personality that puts guests "at ease" besides being an incredibly knowledgable chef! He has our highest recommendations! Lori W

Chef Ryan was very helpful in all aspects of the presentation. He was very informative and from a beginner's point of view, it was not difficult to learn the material at all. He had no problem answering any of my questions at all. I would definitely recommend others take his class for an engaging, helpful cooking experience.

Wow- for what it's worth, whatever experience you're expecting- toss those expectations out the window. Chef Ryan is funny, smart, engaging, and (no pressure) one of the best off-sites we've ever had. Thanks for such a unique experience, Chef Ryan!! We've made some great memories.

Chef Ryan was a great host and teacher. He took us through not only how to make pasta but why he was doing each step and what are some areas that we can tinker with in the future. Amazing experience that I'm likely to repeat.

03/08/17

Ravi

02/28/17

Chef Ryan was awesome! Clearly knowledgeable and experienced, he also demonstrated a knack for teaching and explaining (to two novices, if you could even call us that). Would definitely consider taking another class from him.

02/28/17

Rachel

02/28/17

We adore Chef Ryan! We have now taken two of his classes and love the hands-on and educative (science and kitchen-hacks that make you go "duh") experience, plus the class was full of laughs. If you are considering this class, you need to go!

Amazing master class with culinary ninja, Chef Ryan! So much fascinating information, skills learned and donuts eaten. Would it be odd to take this class twice? We're certainly thinking about it..! HIGHLY recommend.

02/23/17

Anthony

02/22/17

Incredibly well paced in its execution. Chef Ryan was seriously the best. You could tell he really thought it all out, knowing when to have us watch him, and when to let us take ownership. It was just an all around fun, insightful, and interesting experience. Highly recommend to anyone considering taking this course.

02/21/17

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed chef Ryan's class. We're not the most fantastic cooks but Ryan showed us that making fresh pasta is not something to stress over. The dishes we created had fantastic flavor combinations and this is something we can definitely make at home. The kitchen atmosphere was great. Ryan and his fiancee Madison are such great company to cook, eat and talk with. Thank you for such a marvelous experience - my girlfriend said "this was one of the best gifts". Looking forward to when Ryan opens his restaurant and we'll make sure to take one another one of his classes!

Chef Ryan was awesome. Knowledgeable, friendly, and a great teacher for people of all cooking-levels. :) The class was run really efficiently and gave us the opportunity to poke, prod, taste, fry, plate, and play—all while keeping things moving at a great pace. Really great date or friends outing!

Dora

02/10/17

I loved making those donuts :) Thanks for the great instruction!!! Maybe it would be better to distribute the boxes at the end? I feel like people might start hoarding donuts a little too early if you provide them boxes before we begin. Missed the chance to make more brioche donuts since there was so little ready-dough left. Thanks :)

Chef Ryan was wonderful, knowledgable, and the donuts were super tasty! Loved the variety of the 3 types of donuts and how different they all were.

02/06/17

This was such a fun evening. Ryan is a very cool person, low key and friendly - not at all pretentious. Our class was very informative and fun, we learned some great pasta techniques and had a chance to use some ingredients and equipment we don't normally use. We did have a little problem getting to the right location at first, apparently Cozymeal didn't provide the correct address to us - but it was fortunately quickly rectified - and the kitchen experience was a trip! We did bring our own wine, which added to the fun. Thanks very much, Ryan, we look forward to another cooking and dining experience with you.

It was truly a treat to spend the afternoon with Chef Ryan. While most people will be able to explain what ingredients to use and proper cooking technique, Chef Ryan goes in to great detail about why you do things a certain way in the kitchen. He'll explain the chemistry behind the process, and why it results in something desirable. Even if that isn't something that piques your interest, the end product was always absolutely delicious. Can't recommend him enough.

01/26/17

01/22/17

Chef Ryan is a good teacher and makes delicious pasta. Much of the class aside from the actual pasta making was demonstrations of making sauce, and I learned a lot from his cooking and describing the importance and rationale behind each step. The end result was delicious; creative in flavor yet attainable for an amateur chef in terms of technique. My wife loved this class as a birthday gift and we are inspired to make pasta at home. Highly recommended.

Louis

01/17/17

We had a great time learning to make donuts with Chef Ryan! He started by showing us how to make different types of dough and explained their different uses. Then we got to get our hands dirty. The class really went above and beyond the description as Chef Ryan was always available to answer questions and try out new ideas, such as making a crueller or a buttermilk donut. There was more than enough to go around for our class of eight, and everyone went home with a box filled with donuts and churros.

01/17/17

We had a great time at Chef Ryan's Pasta Class! The class size was perfect -- large enough to enjoy the social aspect but small enough that it felt like an intimate & hands-on experience -- and the recipes were delicious. Ryan did a great job balancing the informative & demo-like aspects of the class with hands-on participation, and it was a lot of fun working in a commercial kitchen space. Definitely recommend this class for all pasta lovers!

Rachel

01/06/17

I gave this class as a holiday gift to my boyfriend, and we really enjoyed our evening with Chef Ryan. There were seven of us in total in the class with a range of ages and cooking background, and he was able to cater to everyone's questions and skill level. We brought a bottle of wine to enjoy while we cooked and it was just a perfect, chill Thursday night - highly recommend for other couples or even singles looking to meet people.

Had an amazing time with Chef Ryan and his fiancée! We came here as our holiday party and they made us feel very welcome. It was a great time! Can't recommend it enough. Not only fun, but also everything we made was SO DELICIOUS. The crew thanked me all night for setting up this event. We were a little shy at first but everyone got into it and had such a great time. I feel like we definitely got our monies worth. You have an amazing professional chef teaching you his tips for these delicious dishes, and then they did PLATING with us! Do yourself a favor, treat yourself to this class. It was worth every penny :) Thanks for being so nice to us!

My Cozymeal class with Ryan was amazing! Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable about the science, practical application, and the creative plating of all the tasty doughnuts we made. He could easily switch between entertaining stories of what it was like to be a pastry chef at a 2 Michelin star restaurant and the snap-back of gluten matrices – all while showing me what made the perfect pate a choux dough! It was a real pleasure to work with Ryan and I’ll definitely be taking another one of his classes in the future.
