Chef Linda along with her daughter, Chef Sarah, cooked us a most excellent Fresh French Fare supper for 5 girls and a spouse hiding in the bedroom lol. They arrived with everything in hand and within 60 minutes we were having fresh mixed salad greens with amazing dressing along with a stacked beet and herb goat cheese medallions. Our main was Sole Meuniere with scalloped potatoes and haricots vert which were all expertly cooked, Pots du creme au chocolat did not disappoint either! They cooked, taught us french techniques along the way, served us and cleaned the entire kitchen including the stove. We ate everything it was so good. I can't wait to hire Chef Linda again!

Chef Linda guided us through a French Bistro meal. She shared her insights that are not only applicable to French cooking but also to cooking with fresh ingredients. There were many helpful tidbits. The process was repeatable and the outcomes were tasteful. We left with good memories and recipes.

Chef Linda came to our house and prepared a French meal: french onion soup, steak au poivre with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and creme brulee for dessert. Everything was delicious! She was fun to chat with, too. Full of great information and stories!

We had a great time with Chef Linda! We learned history, new cooking techniques, and even how to use knives properly. On top of it all, we cooked some amazing food and had a delicious dinner! The class was so much more than following a recipe and throwing some ingredients together. We learned what we were doing and why. We learned in such a way that we are not likely to forget our lessons. I highly recommend Chef Linda and her classes for a fun time, great food, and great learning!

My wife and I gave ourselves a cooking class as a Christmas present: Flavors of the Southwest with Chef Linda of Sage Culinary - an independent contractor for Cozymeal. We learned to cook Antojito, made Pepita Caesar Dressing, had a blast making Santa Fe-Style Chile Rellenos and Pipian Rojo with Beans a la Olla, and for dessert Buñuelos and a Mexican Chocolate Sundae. We learned a lot about the food’s history (Linda is a food anthropologist!) as well as cooking techniques, prepping and roasting our own poblano chiles. I now can proudly say I know how to properly hold and use a chef’s knife. Linda was a great teacher! Great night of fun, learning, and delicious food!

My experience with Chef Linda was more than I had anticipated. I learned to cook 4 different dishes while learning the ins and outs of bechamel. I was very pleased, by the end of the evening, to undestand the various points of cooking a mother sauce.

We had the Hogwarts feast. It was enjoyable, we recommend guests bring their own Wine/beer.

We will join Linda again.

My wife and I spent a delightful evening with Chef Linda. She taught us some classic French bistro recipies. Her worldly experience of not only how to make incredibly delicious recipies look easy to cook, but she knows so much of the history behind were the dishes were created. I have recommended her classes to several of my friends.

My husband and I really enjoyed our time with Chef Linda. She was pleasant, let us do all the prep work (with some demonstrations), mixing and cooking. Love that she was patient and offered helpful tips "tricks of the trade" so to speak, and provided all the recipes to follow. We really enjoyed the spring rolls with peanut sauce and feel much more confident remaking some of the dishes at home. The Vietnamese meatballs were absolutely delicious!!! Chef Linda accommodated my request to eliminate cilantro from my servings but allow my husband to have as much cilantro as he'd like. We never felt rushed and enjoyed her sharing her knowledge of cuisines and where dishes, ingredients came from. She also did all the clean-up which was such a nice treat! We are looking forward to having another cooking class with her in the near future. Wish we had taken some photos because the food turned out delicious and Chef Linda set up the dining room table so beautifully.

Very pleasant experience. Chef Linda offered a little history, guidance on proper technique, and perspective on the science of it all. Along with the fact she did not rush to get through when we were well beyond the agreed time. Would recommend.

What a delightful experience with Linda and my Chef mates! Linda’s experience shines as she gives us a food history and with her ability to relate to people with varied cooking experience. I left with great cooking tips, a full belly, and new friends.

We had so much fun, learned a lot about prepping and cooking and about the origins of the food, and best of all, enjoyed one of the best meals we've ever had (and certainly the best we've had a hand in preparing).
Best of all, a week later we tried to do it in our own, and using four of the recipes, made a delicious meal all by ourselves.
Brian

Chef Linda, the experience, and the meal were all outstanding. Linda shared with us a wealth of experience with food and culture, adding shopping tips, lots of cooking technique instruction, chemistry, and how to make things taste good - really good. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a truly delicious meal, that we helped create. 5 stars plus.

An evening with Chef Linda was the perfect birthday dinner experience! She's a true artisan that blends her culinary knowledge and teaching experiences into an incredible evening. She's a positive force who keeps the abilities of a home cook in mind as she teaches how to translate complex flavors into the real world so that anyone can replicate the evening's recipes. We highly recommend!!
Ann

This was a great class! The recipes were unique and delicious. Chef Linda is very knowledgeable and had several great tips and tricks. My only suggestion would be to start the class earlier- we didn’t finish almost 10pm. I would attend another class though- it was fun and engaging.

Our second cooking and learning evening with Chef Linda. . .what a delight. It is clear how much she loves what she does. Each element of the meal is brought together with care and attention to the cooking method at hand and a desire that we be able to replicate what she is teaching. It's fun having a local chef of this quality with whom we can spend an enriching, interesting evening.

I recently had the pleasure of attending Chef Linda's Mexican food cooking class, and it was an absolute delight! Chef Linda's extensive knowledge and clever kitchen hacks truly impressed me. The Queso Fundido with Poblano Vinaigrette was a culinary masterpiece; the flavors were incredibly delicious and blended perfectly. Equally impressive was the Corn and Poblano Lasagna, which left me craving for more.
Apart from the scrumptious dishes, what made the experience even more enjoyable was the comfortable and welcoming setting of Chef Linda's home kitchen. The cozy ambiance made it feel like I was cooking among friends. And speaking of friends, I must mention the adorable feline companions who added an extra touch of warmth to the atmosphere. Meeting Chef Linda's cats was a delightful bonus to an already fantastic experience.
Overall, I can't praise Chef Linda enough for her culinary expertise, her creative kitchen hacks, and her ability to create a cozy and inviting cooking environment. Attending her Mexican food cooking class was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their culinary skills while savoring incredible flavors.

Pam

We chose the New Orleans meal
and it did not disappoint our tastebuds. Chef Linda had a fabulous knowledge of the NOLA area including the history of the people and the food. She welcomed us into her beautiful home and we worked side by side in her kitchen (all ingredients,
Utensils and cookware provided) and learned new tips and techniques while making a wonderfully aromatic and delicious four course meal. We ate as we cooked and had enough for leftovers!! Linda was warm and friendly and funny. I'd highly recommend this experience. When I'm back in Tucson next year, I'll definitely book another cooking lesson!

Beyond excellent! Linda was wonderful in her food knowledge of history, techniques, and flavoring. The experience was relaxed, engaging, and enjoyable. Even those in our group who had no interest in food and cooking willingly participated. Curiosities and questions were answered. Linda maintained composure as we really made a kitchen mess….but it was well worth it. Thank you Linda!

Linda was amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the history of the foods we prepared. It was a hands-on class and I learned several very useful tips. And you certainly don't go away hungry! We attended the Southwest cooking class - the chili rellenos was delicious and we learned a new way to prepare it. The beans, salad, guacamole and elote were awesome. Can't recommend the class high enough. You won't be disappointed.

Heather
30 Mar 2026
I attended this class on 3/28 and can confirm that Brooke’s 3/29 review accurately reflects the experience.
The class is held in the chef’s home, which was not clean or guest-ready. The kitchen and shared spaces were cluttered, the bathroom was dirty, and overall it did not feel like an appropriate environment for a paid cooking experience.
Food safety was a major concern. There were multiple instances of the chef touching her face and then handling ingredients without washing hands. Shared towels were also used by multiple guests.
The class itself was disorganized, with a long introduction that cut into cooking time and an overall rushed, somewhat dismissive instruction style.
This experience did not meet expectations in terms of cleanliness, professionalism, or value. I would not recommend.
Danielle
29 Mar 2026
Was really looking forward to this. Very disappointing. House was dirty and so unkempt. While encouraged to bring our own booze we were held hostage to chef telling us we could not consume it until the meal— which was a truly paltry and an insulting portion. Chef berated us, was agitated and brash. A huge miss.
Brooke
29 Mar 2026
Class is at the chef’s house which was very very dirty. The chef was rude, impatient, and disorganized. We basically made a group dinner and everyone received very small portions. The description for the class says you can enjoy wine while you cook but she didn’t let us open our bottle until the main course which was served at 8:45 and we left by 9. Save your money and just got to a nice dinner somewhere else.
Mary Temple
07 Feb 2022
Knowledge of cooking was excellent. The food we made was very good. However, if you’re looking for a pleasant experience with uncluttered kitchen or dining table staged for a lovely dinner, this would not be a good choice.
