Cooking Class - Opal 28 Venue Images

I enjoyed the class. The chef was really personable, knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything clearly. The food was great at the end.

Loved it, but would have preferred smaller class size so that we could work in groups of two.

Enjoyed the class. Vanessa is really fun! Cheers!

Great chef cook instructor. Fun ambience and learned a few things. Enjoyed it a lot!

Fun class!

Very helpful and informative, would definitely take other classes. Really enjoy being able to ask questions along the way.

I walked out with technique and confidence. I enjoyed the setup of the class and the instructor very much. Would take another class!

My husband and I had an enjoyable time. The food turned out excellent. Chef Joy and the others in the class were delightful to be around. There was a lot of standing. I wish we had been able to at least sit down to eat the delicious food. Overall great experience.

Amazing class. Chef and her assistant were wonderful! Highly recommend.

This class was fun and educational for my daughter and her friend. They both learned some techniques and were given appropriate attention.

We have had several wonderful opportunities to experience Chef Asami’s culinary expertise, including two Local Kitchen dinners, which we experienced with friends: one in February of 2016, and the second in September of 2016.  At each dinner, we were offered a varied 7 course meal, each course which provided delectable creations from Chef Asami’s repertoire, each with a Japanese touch, both visually and flavor.  His home-grown greens were fresh and flavorful, while the hybrid aged grass fed painted hills New York Cut steak was to die for – the right combination of crisp exterior with tender, juice inside. Each meal ended with a selection of amazing deserts, served with Shinya’s specialty vintage café.  I’m looking forward to our next Local Kitchen experience.

I have had the privilege of eating Skye's plant based meals for a few years now. They are quite delicious and very healthy. I am always impressed with what she prepares. The Indian dish with jackfruit is one of my favorites. In addition the ocean view at her retreat home is so spectacular. It's quite the Million dollar view.

Chef Neil, who recently moved to Portland from the East Coast, has ample experience working in restaurants but recently decided to devote his career to teaching and becoming a personal chef. His Korean roots inspired this class with some of the flavors brought from overseas; classic Korean dishes with a personal twist that Chef Neil brings to the table are spicy, crunchy, flavorful and so fun to make! Learn about the ingredients, and how to blend them into an international adventure you can later share with your friends and family.

Chef Julia is friendly, well spoken and very knowledgeable regarding the preparation of the menu, and communication of the steps involved. Food was delicious, flavorful and presentation was great.

A five star product and service in any way you want to think about it! Think the best chocolate treat ever! There are thousands of fancy chocolates out there with all kinds of claims about being the best. This is the best. Created by a caring chef who has a real concern for getting the product just like she had as a child; but better. You can't eat love, you say; I think you can. It's called brigaderios made by Tinyb!!

Chef Dave was an executive chef at Marriot for many years and clearly knows how to cook. He is kind and patient and the class is well organized with neat workstations for each student and overhead mirrors to more easily follow the demonstrations. Twelve years ago Chef Dave won an award for his ‘Strawberry Taco’ and it is well deserved. This simple dessert is simply delicious, light and sweet with the fresh taste of cinnamon and fresh strawberry. Yum. Chef Dave’s wife works in the office and his daughter acts as his assistant “We just said Dad if you love to teach, just do it” she tells me sweetly.

Chef Douglas is awesome! Our event featured a variety of tapas dishes and two signature paellas (one veggie and one with meat). All of the food was amazing. Chef Douglas has a beautiful home and helps get folks engaged in the culinary experience. Highly recommended.

We had Chef Jean Ives come to our home for a private dessert class with a few friends. This was one of the best experiences we have had as a group so far. Looking forward to our next Cozymeal experience :)

My favorite German dinner place in San Francisco.

Really nice meal and great company. No one went home hungry and no one was bored! Thank you Arnie and Kristi!

Arnie was the most gracious host ever. I loved the atmosphere he created with everyone. The food was EVERYTHING and more. It was just a really cool experience and I would love to do it again.

The salad was very fresh with light dressing. The potato salad was delicious. The two different kinds of Germany sausages were. tasty and mild spicy of their own .

The curry wurst and potato salad were delicious and authentic. Nice hearty portions, our stomachs were full. Such a relaxed, warm atmosphere and the company was wonderful. Great way to meet new people. We had the best time. :)

This was my first Cozymeal – a friend invited me to try it. The food was great, the hosts were friendly and the other guests were interesting to talk to.

Brunch was wonderful all around. Schniztel was a highlight!

Fantastic! A delicious taste of authentic German homestyle cooking. I'm stuffed!

Best 1st time cozymeal ever!! This was super fun, I'm definitely going back again to try other hosts as well. Arnie makes killer potato salad, both sauces for the currywurst were amazing. Wish I could've stayed for the vanilla ice cream, but I had to run early. I think the best part of the experience besides just food was the conversations and the people I met, wined, dined and shared a connection with at the table :)

Excellent food and company

Amazing 4 course meal and delicious Chai. Great people and amazing fun!

This was my third Cozymeal gathering. I had a wonderful time (as usual) and found those that attended to be interesting people (as usual). The food was wonderful and I wish I'd taken a little video of the German egg cracker device to post :).

Fantastic host(s)! Super cozy. I would eat his potato salad any time.

Lovely, cozy meal with Arnie and his wife. The potato salad was amazing and the hosts embodied hospitality. Looking forward to schnitzel in the future...

Excellent food, excellent company, highly recommend it. I look forward to my next Cozymeal

A cozy winter meal in a cozy apartment setting. I could tell that Arnie really invested himself into proudly preparing his family's recipes to the very best of his ability. Dinner was delicious, fun! Loved Grandma's German potato salad. Great evening, great food, great company!

The dinner was delicious and Arnie was very welcoming. I very much enjoyed meeting new people and eating a wonderful authentic german dinner out of Arnie's home.

Amazing! This was the first time i tried currywurst!

Enjoyed the homemade sauce in the entree.

Certainly the best German food in San Francisco
