Cooking Class - Authentic Sushi

While we were late due to technical issues, once we joined Chef Maria made the extra effort to catch us up. Her style was very supportive, patient, and enthusiastic while she walked us through a complicated recipe. We came away with a delicious lemon tart and some great information that we will use in future bakes. I highly recommend Chef Maria’s classes! About the technical issues: for some reason neither Zoom passcode provided would allow us into the meeting. I had to text Chef Maria directly. She replied immediately with another Zoom link that allowed us in.

Soufflés were very good.

Maria was great-patient and knowledgeable!

Chef Maria was incredibly patient and full of great tips!! I did find it difficult to follow this class without a printed recipe that matched in detail. Happy to report it yielded delicious soufflés anyway!!!

Maria was so knowledgeable and fun during our birthday party/cooking class! I learned some new techniques and how to make a really tasty cocktail. I would definitely recommend her class!

We had an unforgettable experience celebrating our friend Jessica’s birthday with Chef Maria as our fantastic culinary conductor! Not only was she incredibly fun to “hangout” with, Maria was attentive, patient and able to go with the group’s flow. Thank you so much Chef Maria for blessing us with a great time, your wisdom, and sharing your sweet memories.

Very responsive to questions, very nice, kept a positive vibe throughout the class. Loved the end product too!

Great experience!

Food was good, but it was difficult to follow. Particularly since the ingredient list did not match the actual ingredients we were using and the written instructions were missing details and different as well. As a result it seemed many people were doing things incorrectly and getting left behind. Because of the multiple activities happening at once, it would be more helpful for the chef to clarify when we are just getting prepping an ingredient vs when we are actually using it.

Maria was great. Very patient and kind.

It was a bit chaotic getting started, but everything turned out great in the end! She was very friendly and accommodating to everyone! Very obvious she’s a skilled chef:)

What a wonderful experience with Chef Maria! She knows how to engage you and teach you lots of tips and tricks. I loved my class! Thank you!

Wonderful experience with Chef M. She is professional and yet personable. Delightful young woman and creates delicious, delights.

Chef Maria was awesome! The meal turned out spectacular and we learned a lot. Definitely recommend to anyone no matter your level of knowledge.

We had an amazing birthday dinner with chef Maria and her husband. Maria was very knowledgeable and made sure to share some little tricks that make our lives a lot easier in the kitchen! Her entire menu was delicious and stunning! We had so much fun during the process and we can’t wait to try cooking those dishes on our own! Highly recommend this cooking experience with Chef Maria!

We had a wonderful time with Chef Maria. If all the Cozymeal efforts are this fun, we will surely do this again. I will recommend this to our Concierge desk add a great option for guests. Thank you so much.

It was a very enjoyable experience. Not only was the food great but the environment was relaxed that we could ask questions without any embarrassment. Chef Maria is very informative. Thank you.

What can I say other than this class experience was awesome! I had a great time learning techniques and making a wonderful Italian meal! Can’t wait to sign up for my next class with Chef Maria!

Amazing! Super nice and patient teacher. Food was spectacular. Highly recommend.

From Chef Maria's mouth-watering chicken francese to her bombazine di ricotta in brodo (ricotta dumplings) , delectable melanzane ripiene ( stuffed egg plant), and flan cubano, all were absolutely amazing! The visual details were beyond measure, the flavors, and use of various spices were simply divine. Her eye for detail, sensitive palate, coupled with her knowledge of food from various corners of the globe, make for a winning combination.

Her intoxicating personality, expertise in her craft make a winning combination for those who have the pleasure of dining on her creations, or simply learning cooking techniques from her. Chef Maria is a culinary master, consultant, educator of the culinary experience, whose expertise spans the globe.
