Booked the class Crêpes & Soufflés with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

I signed my dad and I up for the crepe and soufflé as a birthday experience. We had a great time and appreciated how simple Chef Elham made the whole thing. Would definitely recommend this to others!

Booked the class Adventures In Thai Cooking with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

We took the adventures in Thai Cooking with Chef Elham. Loved it. Small class--3 couples so each worked on a separate recipe. Chef went over ingredients, how to prepare them, shared with us many of the unique ingredients and how to get them. The food was amazing, I left feeling like I could make any of these dishes at home, and cant wait to try them.

Booked the class Perfecting Sushi Rolls with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

We had a great time! Chef Elham opened up her home to us, had all the ingredients ready and provided a nice set up. There were 8 people in the class which made it a lot more fun. Such a great experience. The downside to it (nothing to do with the chef) the app needs to be more clear on the area that you’re booking the class in… And… There needs to be more communication before they take your money. This is legit class and the company is real. The way they book the class makes you feel like it is a scam. Other than that, Chef Elham made it a positive and fun experience.

Booked the class Crêpes & Soufflés with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

Chef Elham was really well-organized and generous with her advice, even about cooking techniques that weren't explicitly related to the class. (For example, she gave really good tips on knife skills, pans to use, and other tips). I was impressed that the class got to do and learn so much.

Booked the class Romantic French Dinner with Chef Elham

We had a wonderful time with Chef Elham. She was so accomodating to us and really easy to talk with. We learned a lot of different techniques in cutting and cooking!

Booked the class Crêpes & Soufflés with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

Chef Elham has a gorgeous home and it was a great place for a cooking class. She has been teaching for sixteen years and has a wide range of styles and expertise to pull from. I loved her version of souffle which also was much easier to make than I had previously thought. I’d love to take another class from her.

Maryanna B. July, 2021

Booked the class Simple Yet Stunning Desserts with Chef Elham in San Jose (Almaden)

The teacher was nice but the class was not at all what I expected. All items we used were premade we did make anything from scratch. The class description was mis-leading. I was expecting to learn at least how to make dessert sauces. The materials provided were low quality. One of the desserts offered to be used was a pudding snack pack. I was extremely disappointed the presentation and lesson was a 5 min discussion. Not worth the 85.00. I was interested in talking more classes but now I feel mislead and not sure if the class description is true to my explanation. I also invited two friends and I few bad and embarrassed that they were invited to a bad experience. My friend even ask the chef to show her something and was dismissed by our instructor. The instructor response was just cut the cake and layer. For the price we paid I think she could of showed her student how the layer a truffle. This class was elementary level something for a classroom project.

Booked the class Perfecting Sushi Rolls with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

Chef Elham is a very nice lady! I definitely feel a lot more confident making sushi now, but I feel the class could have been a bit more strategical and organized. It was hard to move around in the space to get to some needed items. I also was a bit overloaded with all of the demos being completed at once and trying to remember everything once it was our turn. I could have taken notes though as I understand this is typical for a cooking class. We got to meet her dog who is wonderful, but he was barking for a long time in the back room and even though she was very apologetic, I couldn't help but still be irritated by it. I know it was only her 3rd class so I'm sure there will be much improvement as she continues her teaching endeavors.

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.

This was a fun gathering, especially as an outing for my husband and I that was surprisingly very close to our house. It was nice to converse with other participants where we all had varying levels of cooking experience. I appreciate Chef Elham's conversational instruction that wasn't heavily demonstrative. It was a great dinner and I look forward to trying one of the recipes at home.

I attended the "Handmade Soups" cooking class with Chef Elham and both the evening and Chef Elham were outstanding - what a great way to spend an evening! Chef Elham was very welcoming and provided a wonderful space in her kitchen set up with cooking stations well-organized with all ingredients and tools needed for each recipe. She was very informative and knowledgeable, taught us various techniques we would be using and then guided us through preparing our various soups. Once completed, we all sat down together and enjoyed each other's company and creations. And the soups ... each one was AMAZING!!!! Thank you, Chef Elham!
