Chef Sam is great! I highly recommend her classes!
Samantha is great! Super friendly and made our experience real fun.
Very Unfortunate experience with Samantha. After purchasing a date for 2 for my wife for Christmas, I received an email from Samantha on December 15th stating that Cozymeal screwed up her schedule and that it was supposed to be meat and potatoes class on the date we had purchased. Therefore, Samantha cancelled the reservation we had on that date which was for a Latin Meal. Since I purchased the date as a gift for Christmas, I wasn't planning to reach out for rescheduling until after I had given it to my wife and talked about when a better day to attend would be. Samantha took it upon herself to reschedule us for a different day, that would not have worked with our schedule if we had seen the message, and she never received confirmation from us that we could actually attend the class. The only shared expectation that both the chef and ourselves were aware of was that she had cancelled our original date, and we needed to reschedule. That fact never changed. Despite never receiving confirmation that her new proposed date would work for us, she claims that she showed up and we were a no show. When reaching out to her to reschedule she referred me to Cozymeal after she had already reached out to them to narrate a story favorable to her. Upon calling in to Cozymeal they stated that I would have to pay a $100 rescheduling fee. Even though we never agreed to meeting on any other date other than the original for a Latin class, which she scheduled. The situation has been escalated to a manager, and we are waiting to hear back on whether or not they will issue a refund within the next 72 hours. Would not recommend scheduling with this host.

Chef Sam was wonderful--we cooked classic French cuisine from appetizer to dessert, learning everything from making fresh butter to flaming brandy for a wonderful black peppercorn sauce. We got to be very hands on because there were only two of us in this class. I believe the max is four, but that may get a little tight. Chef Sam shared that she has other classes available as well, so we will be booking our next one soon--we will definitely visit her again!

Reviews Chef Samantha received outside of Cozymeal
Sam catered my wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better cater. She is so chill! And at a wedding you don’t need anyone else being over the top. We did a family style dinner which she nailed! So many tasty dishes. Right before the wedding my mom started freaking out that we didn’t have steak knifes (beef tenderloin ?) she comes to Sam to tell her the bad news and Sam says “well I guess it better be tender” and it was totally perfect! All of her staff are very polite and very professional. Highly highly recommend!
One of the best catered meals that i have ever had. I strongly recommendChef Samantha any business function, party, or if you just feel like cooking. highest quality & service! Thank you Samantha !
I have used Chef Samantha to cater work and family events. She is always prompt, professional, friendly, reasonably priced and the quality of the food that they prepare is exceptional. Everything is incredibly fresh, tastes delicious and beautifully staged. I will continue to use their services for years to come. I proudly recommend Chef Samantha to my friends and family!
I had an evening open house event and Samantha brought in amazing and unique appetizers. Everyone loved everything and I could not get enough of the tuna avocado wontons. The quality of food, presentation and the ease of having her provide the food was outstanding. I will use her again in the near future!
Samantha is an amazing chef. Her food is unique yet delicious. We have used her several times for various functions and everytime the food was incredible. The presentation of the food was very professional. I would recommend that you use her to cook meals for your family, employee luncheons at work or any special event you might be having.
Samantha is an amazing cook...she comes to our house periodically to cook a few meals for us. We love her food and our kids do too...and it isn't mac & cheese. We are trying flavors that we wouldn't normally try. Always so tasty! She is prepared and leaves our kitchen as clean as she found it. She is creative with her meal options. And to top it off, she is very nice and always has a smile on her face!
Samantha was the caterer for my wedding. She made the process extremely simple and stress free. I gave her my budget (which she respected, unlike other vendors that push you to spend more) and my ideas. The wedding went off without a flaw. Everyone was full and happy. Can't wait to have her cater another event!!!!
Attended a business event Samatha cooked for and it was perfect. As a wedding photographer I eat alot of catered meals and this was one of the betters ones I've eaten. Well done to her and her team!!!
I have enjoyed the variety of foods in balanced meals with generous portions and all very tasty.
We used Chef Samantha our wedding. We had a very specific idea of what we wanted and a small budget to get it accomplished. We didn't think it was going to be possible but she with us to create the dream menu unlike any other. Now, a year after our wedding, people still talk about the food and how much they enjoyed it. You will not regret going with Chef Samantha for your event.
