What You’ll Do

Let Chef Nadina show you how to make your Italian favorites low fat and delicious.

When you think of Italian cooking, you think of rib-sticking spaghetti and meatballs, and rich, decadent desserts. But you can make these dishes with lower fat ingredients that are just as satisfying.

You'll begin by learning how to team low fat, delicious turkey meatballs with a light tomato and herb sauce for a memorable appetizer that will fill you up, but won't leave you feeling stuffed. Then, it's onto homemade pasta that is so easy to make from scratch! To end the evening, Chef Nadina will teach you how to craft delicate, airy mini zeppoles.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Your Menu

Stuffed Turkey Meatballs

With mozzarella, breadcrumbs, crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning

Homemade Pasta

With tomatoes, basil and Italian seasoning

Mini Zeppoles

With flour, eggs, milk, powdered sugar and baking soda

Chef Nadina was amazing. Her recipes were great, but even more so her calm presentation added to our experience. Not only is she a great chef, but was an very patient teacher. We have taken a number of courses with Cozymeal, but I think we agree that her style of instruction and her great ability to teach was the best experience we have had. Wish she had more online classes to offer.

The recipes were excellent and the chef was very helpful. We had 20 in our session which I thought was too large because some were not prepared or didn’t have all the necessary ingredients. In the interest of time I would suggest dropping the desert.

SHE WAS EXTREMELY PATIENT. TOWARDS THE END I THINK WE WERE GETTING A LITTLE ANTSY.....we started talking out of turn, mumbling to each other, asking questions abruptly.... it was both fun and hilarious. It was an excellent meal. very well put together. i enjoyed the fun, the food and the cuisine.

Chef Dina's food was phenomenal. She had so much patience, even with people who were unprepared and hadn't printed the recipes. We will definitely use these recipes again and will join Dina for future classes.

AMAZING AMAZING! The food was absolutely delicious, by far the best 3 course meal I've ever had in my entire life. Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. The experience was very fun and full of love & joy, led by Chef Nadina. My wife Naomi and I were celebrating our wedding Anniversary and could not have picked a better spot. Thank you again for an unforgettable night

I took the New Orleans Cooking Class with Chef Dina and it was nothing short of AMAZING! Even with the technical difficulties, she was still able to keep us all engaged. The class went smoothly. I loved how she was able to instruct everyone who may have had different types of ingredients. Very well done and the food was to DIE for! We will def do this again with Chef Dina in the near future.

What a great night. The food was excellent but it was more than just following a great chefs recipe. Chef Dina gave tips and tricks along the way. I will definitely be taking more classes from Chef Dina.

Jacob

07 Oct 2020

Chef Nadina seemed very nice. The recipes were slightly off though. She was using different measurements or a couple different things not listed, and we bought ingredients on the recipe list that were never touched. She also went fairly fast, despite hearing in the beginning that we were not all avid chefs. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the actual cooking.

My family had a wonderful experience with Chef Nadina! She was very good at engaging my teenager and teaching us the art of pasta making. We made so much yummy food, from scratch!! If you’re looking for a great family experience, I can’t recommend this enough.

This cooking experience was a gift and my husband and I enjoyed it very much! Everyone in the group participated in making dinner, under the supervision of Chef Nadia, from prepping the salad to layering the dessert. I learned a few new techniques such as how the oil should look before adding items to be sauteed and searing the salmon before cooking it in the oven. I am looking forward to making the recipes at home!

David

This Cozymeal was a gift from my son and my husband and I had a wonderful experience. Our dinner group took on different responsibilities for the meal preparation under the guidance of Chef Nadia. I learned a few tips along the way- especially how to make sure oil is ready when sauteing. The finished meal was delicious and I hope to make some of the items again. Chef Nadia went out of her way to make me a special dessert due to my dietary restrictions! Jill L

My husband and I had a wonderful evening with Chef Dina. The meal we fixed was wonderful and we plan to fix it again for our friends. We both highly recommend this class. This was well worth the cost and Chef Dina was very wonderful to work with. We look forward to attending other Cozymeal classes and have already booked the Ybor City walking food tour.

My children have take classes and they absolutely love it. The environment is welcoming, clean, and the staff is very friendly. The main thing I love as a parent is that the food choices are healthy, and my children experience different foods broadening their pallets for fine dining.I have taken the adult class and it was extremely informative .I discovered new friends, spices,and healthier alternatives for classic meals. I’d recommend anyone to try this place.
