We had an amazing time in our private cooking class with Chef Pao through Cozymeal! He made the experience fun, hands-on, and super approachable—even for beginners. We learned how to make sushi from scratch, and the final rolls turned out delicious. Chef Pao was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole evening feel special. Highly recommend for a unique date night or small group activity!
