We signed up for the Thai cooking class with Chef Elham and had an incredible time. We’ve taken Cozymeal classes before- this by far was our favorite. Apart from the food being absolutely delicious, what stood out were the conversations with Chef Elham. We also walked away from the class with more confidence in the kitchen as a bonus. Thanks chef Elham for a great night, can’t wait to recreate the recipes at home!

Fun and instructional. Chef Elham made us feel right at home. Making delicious Thai food seemed out of reach for me, but now I am confident I can do it in my own kitchen.
