Chef Yani has an impressive background. We learned so much AND, at the same time, had an enjoyable, relaxing experience.

This was a Christmas gift for my wife and i tagged along. We baked Gluten-free and Gluten-full rolls, scones and cinnamon rolls. We had a great time. My wife was able to learn from a Professional and we had a great time. We'll definitely do it again in the future. Thanks

Chef Eric was enthusiastic, charismatic, and incredibly supportive throughout the class. Chef stepped in exactly when needed and shared quick, helpful tips that made preparing the dish so much easier. Both dishes were absolutely delicious — but the Roasted Leek and Gruyère Croissant was truly top tier! I’m already looking forward to booking another class in the near future.

I had an AMAZING experience with Chef Titik! From the time that I entered her lovely space, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming greeting. The selection of the meal was great. The history of the food and culture was intriguing. I was intrigued by the interaction and the end result of the finished product. We all dined together and it felt like I was eating with family. The evening was simply marvelous!

Exceptional! My wife and really enjoyed the entire evening. I especially did, given the fact that I am not good at cooking AT ALL. Chef Rakhi was accommodating, patient, and a wonderful teacher. I have now graduated from being the WORST CHEF. The Bistro experience was fabulous, but what truly made the experience exceptional, was simply the time we spent getting to know Chef Rakhi. She is and amazing woman with an amazing story. Can't wait to read the book.

If I had to describe the event with just one word, it would be “outstanding.” Chef Titik prepared a wonderful evening with delicious food, a comfortable safe space and a cozy vibe which made for a perfect Valentine’s Day celebration. As we made our 3 course meal, Titik taught us world history of Indonesian, Dutch, French and Moroccan culture and also provided helpful tips for the kitchen that I would not have learned had I not taken this class. My girlfriend and I would love to take another class of hers and invite all of our friends to join. It was so fun! We will absolutely take another Cozymeal class and look forward to another dinner with Titik.

Her experience and knowledge of cooking is amazing! I took her french moroccan fusion class and was not disappointed!! If you're thinking of taking a class with her you should do it! You will love it!

This class was amazing! I loved the food and ravioli and cookies. Her knowledge of cooking and Italian cuisine was awesome. I learned a bunch of cool tricks for making pasta, including vodka pasta sauce which was so creamy and delicious! Definitely would take again

Chef Yani was very welcoming, energetic, and a great teacher. We made garlic shrimp and paella and I can’t wait to try it at home given how easy she made it seem!

My sister took me to this class for my birthday and I loved it! She cooks more than I do but everything we tried and made was delicious. I was very hungry when I came and was glad I could sample and try the vegetables as we were cooking. We had tomato soup abut halfway through the class. I really enjoyed the crostinis I had with them. We put lots of Parmesan cheese on top. I love cheese and eat a lot of it, this really made the soup taste good. I really like portobello mushrooms and was glad when they were in the main dish. We cooked those in the oven and got rid of the water. I had tried to make a mushroom en croute before and now I know that mushrooms release water when cooking which is why mine was not the best! We used caramelized onions and sautéed spinach two of my favorites. We used an egg to bind the pastry dough together. The potato au gratin and the demi-glaze sauce together was the best decision I made when eating my dinner after we cooked everything. The table was set beautifully when my sister and I came in. We brought the food to the table and enjoyed all our hard work. 10/10 would take this class again!

If you want to take this class please do!! You will not be disappointed! We made a wonderful tomato bisque soup, delicious potato au gratin and the fabulous main course was mushroom en croute. The desert really made the experience which was the poached pear in wine with spices. Everything was perfect. Chef Titik knowledge of different cuisines is amazing and seen in how she was cooking the whole time. We chopped, sautéed, minced, julienned and used all four burners on the stove at once! Very impressive! When sautéing and caramelizing the onions for the mushroom en croute we used balsamic vignette but also sampled Indonesian sweet soy sauce! Such a cool experience of flavors! I am not a vegetarian myself but still loved the class! We started by making the desert because of the length of time it was cooking. We sampled the wine the pears were poached in and it was delicious! This is great for the summer, you can use the wine for sangria as well! We had the soup half way through cooking the meal and it was to die for! My brother and myself both took seconds! The potato au gratin was so fun to make! You learn how to make a béchamel sauce from scratch and how to parboil things! A skill both of us will have with us forever. I really enjoyed making the demi-glazed sauce, this was a new experience for me and I didn't realize how many vegetables were involved. Overall a great experience! Took my brother for his birthday and absolutely loved it!

Date night with my boyfriend and Chef Cocoa was a lovely experience. I gifted him this Cozymeal sushi class, and we had so much fun prepping and rolling sushi. It turned into a very filling dinner — we even had to take some to go. The class was well organized and easy to follow, with a great group of people. The ambiance at Chef Andy’s place was great, plus easy parking. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend :)

My sister and I had such a wonderful time in Janet’s cooking class! She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and approachable. We learned how to make a delicious bruschetta with olive tapenade, a perfectly cooked chicken marsala, and a silky panna cotta that was the perfect finish. Janet’s guidance made even the more intimidating steps feel easy, and we walked away with new skills—and full stomachs! Highly recommend her class to anyone looking for a hands-on and memorable culinary experience.

Chef Janet was wonderful! She came to our house for a for a family class in Dim Sum and we had a great time, especially our 6 year old granddaughter. We learned a lot and appreciate that she was willing to teach all of us. Looking forward to scheduling again!

We LOVED Chef Rakhi's Anglo-Indian class! She is so kind and informative- very talented chef! She is so welcoming and her kitchen is beautiful. The class was very collaborative and fun! She shared so many helpful tips and tricks that we will be able to use while cooking! Highly recommend taking any of her classes!

Janet was a hoot. We had so much fun making dimsum and every dish was beyond delicious. I can't wait to whip out these recipes for my next dinner party!

Chef Janet was AWESOME! Booked her Dim Sum class for my 2 year anniversary. She comes with everything you could need (you need to supply nothing but a stove and microwave!) and then takes home all of the dirty pots and pans - no clean up was a lovely surprise. She is funny and great to talk to. Oh and most importantly, the food was delicious!

Chef Andy's class was wonderful! He was informative, engaging, highly flexible, and most importantly patient. Our group of 30 had a blast and we would take another one of his class. I couldn't recommend his class enough.

I brought my team in for a fun end of year activity and Chef Andy and his team knocked it out of the park. The mystery basket had our team excited to try each of the courses, we were taught technique throughout the night, and still had time for mingling and tons of laughter. In the end, the food turned out delicious and our group had an incredible night. I highly recommend Chef Andy for any of your team or friend/family activities!

We had a great time with David! He did a great job ensuring that we were all engaged (to the extent each person wanted) with all our different skill levels. The food was great and we would highly recommend a class with him!

Chef Andy is the best! We had an absolute blast and cannot wait to do another class!

Our time with Chef Janet was nothing short of wonderful. It was a delightful experience to cook, converse, and create a wonderful memory with her. She was also very accommodating regarding potential dietary restrictions and made to share lots of useful techniques that could be used in our own cooking ventures. Please do yourself a favor and take one of her classes! You won’t regret it!

All of the reviews say how great Chef Janet is…they are 100% correct. She makes the class such a nice experience. She was great with our kids and she was super patient.

Chef Titik is awesome!! Her dishes are delicious, specially the paella and her hot sauces. She is very kind (she received us with a welcome cocktail) and made us feel very comfortable in her house! My husband and I had a great time for sure!! Thank you very much chef!!
