Cooking Class - Better Than Takeout Chinese

Our experience was amazing, Christmas & Michelle were fun and easy to work with. We got there 20min early on accident and she was quick to invite us in and adjust her plans accordingly. She was a great instructor, and I feel that I could confidently replicate this ~delicious~ meal again. We booked this as part of an anniversary weekend getaway, and it was exactly the type of fun, intimate activity that we wanted, she even took our pictures and put together a little album of our dishes. My only criticism was that it only lasted just less than 2 hours, this was only a problem as we had arranged it to go straight to the airport after and ended up with an extra hour (+20) to kill. Very small inconvenience, and did not deduct from our day at all, 10/10 would do it again ?

Chef Christmas was AWESOME! She taught our cooking class, answered every question we had and created a great commemorative video. Her knowledge of food allergies and flexibility to make last minute changes was impressive. We look forward to visiting Houston and taking another class with Chef Christmas.

Chef Christmas is a very calm and knowledgeable teacher who makes you feel like you can literally cook anything. She not only gives tips for ingredient prep techniques but also for elevating your everyday meals from prep to seasoning to presentation. She's amazing and we can't wait to use her services again.

This was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences we've had as a couple. I surprised my future Hubby, as he loves to cook and he absolutely loved it. He said he can't wait to do it again. We 100% recommend this experience not only for couples Date Night, but for groups, family or friends. Both Chef Christmas and Chef Michelle as you can imagine, are very Knowledgeable and Passionate about their craft, but most of all Patient and are willing to answer any questions you may have. Their instructions and guidance during the cooking process made it a Grade A, 5 star, Top Notch experience. We want to Personally Thank both Chef Christmas and Chef Michelle for their attention to the details, making our night so Romantic.

My wife and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. We wanted to do something different than the usual going out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. We decided to take a cooking class with Chef Christmas. Our experience was special and unique! We learned quite a few things we did not know that we can apply and develop our own cooking skills. Chef Christmas is a master chef, very intuitive, quick witted, calm, cool, collective. We had the five course aphrodisiac with chicken. My wife and I loved it, everything ended up being delicious! Overall We highly recommend Chef Christmas!

Chef Christmas & Chef Michelle prepared such a lovely meal. All courses were as described and absolutely delicious. Additionally, they played music to go along with the Asian Fusion theme. I would certainly hire chef Christmas again!

Unfortunately, the experience we had with Chef Christmas and Chef Michelle was not great and I would not book again. I booked a kids baking party for my sons 9th birthday. I thought that having to pay for myself even though I'm not baking was wild but it was a last resort- which left me alone to tend 6 kids. Chef Christmas and Chef Michelle entered my home with somber moods and began the class without a plan it seemed because 2 of my guests (bless their hearts for being so patient) were left sitting and waiting for 35-45 minutes not doing anything. They handed out cute little cheap aprons- I was thinking oh how nice a little keepsake. Until they asked for them back at the end of the class. What a joke. Chef Christmas split the 6 kids into 3 groups of 2 (for a "competition" that never happened probably because they all were terrible) and they were each given an item to bake- I was under the impression everybody would be doing all 3 items. I was asked to provide my own machine and cookie sheets (thankfully I actually have those). I asked her to bring her own mixer in addition so that 6 kids wouldn't have to share 1 machine and I even pulled out an old one so that the groups wouldn't have to just use 2, but they didn't use the 3rd machine as I mentioned the one group was left doing nothing. They weren't included in other groups nor spoken to until she told them she is almost done and about to get to them. I had to offer my own supply of butter sticks because she wasn't prepared, she used my old gallon ziplock bag because she didn't bring her own, and I offered my own food coloring because I didn't want her to waste time "looking" for it in her car. Besides the 2 guests waiting, I was expecting beautiful treats. This was not the case! The sugar cookies spread and never took a cookie form as they stretched when picked up- and then when I asked why that happened she said she needs to make her own recipe. WHAT? Has she even done this before?? One of the guests brownies burnt to crisp. and the cheesecake she didn't let cool down to remove them from the mold- even though she had more than 30 minutes left for the clock. They ended up very greasy and never set so you had to scoop them out of the mold and they tasted terrible. All you tasted was strawberry and crust- no cheesecake. I would love to show pictures of what they made. Instead of 5 potential bookings I have strayed all of the parents away from cozymeal, Chef Christmas and Chef Michelle. I was left embarrassed and thankful that no parents were there witness.

We had a great time. Since we wanted a vegetarian meal Chef Christmas let us adjust the menu and even swap out the dessert. She also takes a video and makes a little movie for you so you can just focus on cooking and eating and boozing.

WOW AMAZING! My dad wanted to take a cooking class for his birthday. This was better than either of us could have imagined. The way you walked us through the prep, helped us make our own spices, and the prepare the meal, was so easy and fun. The finished meal was was the best thing we have ever eaten. Thank you so much for this incredible time and experience. We look forward to the next cooking class with you.

We had such an awesome time with Chef Christmas! I booked as a birthday surprise for my husband and we had such a fabulous time cooking together! Chef Christmas even took some pictures for us and made a little video montage which was such a sweet and thoughtful little surprise. I’m not much in the kitchen and my husband is a pretty picky eater but every dish turned out delicious!! My husband even wants to make a few of them again!! Thank you so much, Chef! TEN STARS!!!

This was a fun and unique experience from the comfort of my own kitchen! Chef Christmas guided and taught simple cooking techniques that I was inexperience with. She also gave suggestions on how to change up the same meal by adding different seasonings and cooking wines. By the time we were done, we had an incredible Italian Style meal just in time for the Super Bowl! I'm already planning a "girls night out" cooking adventure for the spring. Highly recommended.

Chef Christmas made a wonderful three course meal for our Father’s Day dinner. She arrived promptly, plated the meals beautifully, and left us with plenty of leftovers! It is clear that she takes great care in preparing meals. I’m also grateful that she had clear hygiene protocols that made everyone comfortable. We will definitely reach out to Chef Christmas again. Thank you, Chef!

Chef Christmas has a warm, inviting personality that makes you feel at home. The food she prepared had elements of home cooking and fine cuisine. I learned a lot and would highly recommend anyone take her class.

Chef Curtlynn's food tastes like home! We're both from New Orleans and her Cajun flavors are on point. However she has a wide repertoire of delicious dishes to choose from. My favorite is the hoisin chicken meatballs! Furthermore, Chef Curtlynn is flexible and creative with our weekly meal planning. Her service has been a life saver for our busy work schedules.

The food was spectacular. The Chinese menu you presented for your Anniversary dinner was high in comparison to Kim Son! OMG...the Shrimp Toast and the Sweet and Sour sauce...the flavors are still tantalizing my taste buds. We had leftovers for breakfast this morning. Please don't forget to invite us to the next event!
