WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Chicago
Kimberly C.
09/13/2025
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!

We had a lot of fun at our pizza cooking class!

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.
