Chef Melissa was a wonderful host! She guided us through the prep and execution of a delicious menu, imparting great culinary tips and background info along the way. We four were engaged and entertained for the entire session. Melissa set a gorgeous table for our feast (and feast we did). She was prepared, organized, and quite funny—the consummate chef/host. What a lovely way to spend a stormy afternoon. I highly recommend this class! You’ll leave content, sated and with a greater knowledge of Asian cuisine no matter your skill level. Chef Melissa is lovely! Lori Barish

Melissa’s dumpling class exceeded our expectations! We had such a great time, the food was delicious, and Melissa is so sweet. The class was set up perfectly. We appreciated all the cooking tips, the fresh organic ingredients, and Melissa’s insight into the food and culture surrounding the food. Also, the class was BYOB and prior to the class Melissa went out of her way to give us some thoughtful recommendations. We went with her favorite Japanese beer which was so delicious I will continue to buy it. We left feeling like we could replicate our own dumplings at home and are excited to do so. She is a great chef, teacher, and person. And a plus - we got to take extra dumplings home which we devoured immediately! Thank you to Chef Melissa.

Melissa welcomed us into her home and brought us through a really fun lighthearted culinary experience. It was my mothers 60th birthday and she really made every effort to make the evening the best celebration possible. We began with great knife skill lessons and got to test our knowledge on avocado, cucumber, mushrooms & fish. We learned where to purchase all the ingredients we weren't familiar with as well which was great. The tofu bags were so simple and delicious I will absolutely be making those on my own. We focused on hand rolls/sushi/maki variations the rest of the evening which really filled us up! We were stuffed before the class was even over. She texted us beforehand and suggested bringing to-go containers which was so smart! The ingredients were all so fresh and the top quality was so apparent. Melissa had everything laid out and prepared before out arrival and provided a PDF after the class explaining everything we had talked about and all the ingredients we went over. She had an in-house greenery grower and even packed me up a goodie bag of fresh clipped greens! It was truly a 5 star personal chef evening. I couldn't have asked for a better chef to make my mothers birthday a night we will never forget. Thank you!!

Chef Melissa provided us a thoughtful, generous, and delicious event. We were welcomed into a lovely setting featuring beautiful ikebana floral arrangements created by her. Chef Melissa shared some of her expertise through guided instruction and interesting explanations, with plenty of laughter along the way. Also a sommelier, she told us about sake as we enjoyed sipping what we had brought. The food was amazing - lovely presentation, delicious. One of the treats of the evening was picking fresh herbs, greens and flowers from Chef Melissa's hydroponic stand and incorporating them into the designs and flavors of the dishes we created together. We had a wonderful time together guided by her expert-fully presented activities. Ultimately, we experienced Japanese comfort food in its glorious, vegetarian wholesomeness ? Our tastebuds are still dancing and will be jazzed up for time to come. Our imagination is fueled with enthusiasm to try our own interpretations of what chef Melissa taught us.

Chef Melissa was an incredible instructor! My partner and I were given gifted this experience and it was top tier: the recipes Chef Melissa created were all wonderful, accessible for beginners, wonderfully tasty, and she was always available to help us truly learn the recipes rather than just providing instructions. She made the class fun with her open herb farm, preparation of all the ingredients, and was generously willing to improvising for any food restrictions. We are hoping to book another class soon; we truly felt like we connected with her and the other attendees!!

Melissa was fantastic. She has an impressive resume and is a great instructor. You can tell she is passionate about cooking and bringing people together to make memorable experiences. This was gift to my mother-in-law from her daughter and (2) daughter-in-laws. She adored the experience as did we. Melissa went that extra step and lit a candle, sang happy b-day, and even gave her a cool gift. The food exceeded my expectations and the best part is I now have the knowledge and skills to whip up those amazing dumplings and a pot of wonton soup.

I highly recommend the Classic Japanese Comfort Food class with Chef Melissa. We learned how to make a three-course meal which includes Okonomiyaki, miso ramen, and matcha crepe. I enjoyed tremendously both the cooking activities and the delicious finished product. Chef Melissa is a wonderful host for this memorable event. The class is well planned ahead and organized so that once the cooking is complete, we could all relax and enjoy the company.

This was my second time booking with cozy meal and Chef Melissa made it a great experience. Anyone can show you how to make the meal, but her energy, humor, and gratitude is what stood out. There were only four students, so she took the time to really teach us, help with any questions, and laugh with us. Everything was organized and prepared when we got there, and her apartment is beautiful. She showed us proper knife techniques, the differences between the ingredients, how fold the dumplings correctly, and served us wonton with her homeade broth that was made beforehand. She even gave us homeade stickers to take home :) Definitely recommend Chef Melissa!

Emily

I had Melissa cook for my family as a Christmas gift and we all had a blast! We wanted a French Theme so Melissa gave us a bunch of options including different dessert ideas. We ended up picking a classic French seafood bouillabaisse and sticky toffee pudding! Melissa was well prepared and asked us many questions to make sure we had everything we need in order to cook properly. If we didn't have something, she would bring the tools that we didn't have. She gave each of us an assignment and taught us the proper way of cutting ingredients, measuring, techniques, and history. It was all done with humor and fun! Melissa is very patient with high energy and passion. The end results was the best Bouillabaisse my family ever tasted and we all made with the help of Melissa! The sticky toffee pudding was fantastic too. My 11 year old nephew even helped put the frosting on top. I highly recommend Melissa for a fantastic time and learning experience!

Adam

Melissa is a dynamo of energy, charisma and great knowledge. She understands the food and beverage world in combination better than most people out there.

I hired Melissa for a private cooking session since I grew up in Asia and have always wanted to learn how to make authentic Asian comfort food after I moved to the US. Before the class, Melissa ensured that we would have all the equipments and ingredients, which made our class go very smoothly. During the class, Melissa was very patient to guide me through the whole process, shared about the history behind the dishes, and taught me some basic techniques. I learned so much from her class. Melissa is very tentative and extremely fun to cook with, and of course the meal (we made okonomiyaki the Japanese pancake and potstickers) was just delightful and delicious. I highly recommend her class.

Kristen

06 Dec 2021

Don’t hesitate to book an in home cooking class with Chef Melissa! You pick the menu to suit your guests. Melissa keeps the cooking fun and easy, teaching the how and why of measuring, mixing and baking. With three sons and my husband, we made Parmesan monkey bread and moist chocolate cupcakes with marscapone frosting. Delicious. Everyone got involved and had a great time. Planning a dumpling class for Spring.

My kids had the best time with Melissa during the dessert class. Melissa came to our home and was great with the kids. She was professional, friendly and patient and we love her hands on approach. They made mini apple pies and cupcakes. The kids had fun mixing, cutting the apples, rolling out the dough for the crust and decorating the cupcakes. We had Melissa come close to the holidays and she brought the cutest holiday sprinkles for the cupcakes. Everything was delicious and the kids can't wait for their next class with Melissa!

Danielle

02 Dec 2021

My husband and I had recently been talking about ramen, and how we would love to learn how to make it. I hired Melissa for a private in-home cooking lesson as his Christmas gift; we spent a few hours together learning about proper cooking techniques, made ramen noodles from scratch, and enjoyed a delicious meal together. For desert, we enjoyed green tea cakes that we made from scratch while learning all about sake. It was such an enjoyable evening, filled with lots of laughs (we found out we've been holding chopping knives wrong our whole adult lives) and great memories. I highly recommend Melissa!

Ryan

02 Dec 2021

My wife and I hired Melissa for a private cooking session and we were very impressed with her menu, technique and professionalism. Before we started she made sure to consult with us about our likes, dislikes and food allergies. She also asked about kitchen equipment to ensure that he had everything necessary for a successful outcome. We opted for an heirloom tomato salad with homemade dressing and burrata, followed by seared scallops with chorizo and corn and made from scratch banana bread for dessert. Everything was not only delicious, but she made sure to go slowly and explain the proper cooking techniques as we progressed through each dish. She is also a trained sommelier and paired some very nice selections with our meal. Not only did we have a great meal, we came away from the session with a better understanding of how to make the most out of our recently renovated kitchen. I highly recommend booking a lesson with Melissa -- you won't be disappointed!

Words can't say enough how amazing Chef Melissa Lee is in spirit and in her work. She presented/taught a quick Japanese salad at our For Womxn, By Womxn Summit and was fabulous.

She's that good!

Mary

Melissa is a wonderful cooking instructor and chef! My family decided to take a two-hour cooking and baking class with Melissa because her passion for teaching, cooking and baking are inspiring. What an amazing family activity to take her class, even for an 11 year old boy and that's saying something! We came to the class with three different cooking experience levels and we all left happy. We had such a good time (and our tummies left happy!) that my husband and I plan to book more classes as a date night activity. It is hard to top learning together in an engaging environment with a teacher whose passion is like no other. Work with Melissa and you'll be glad you did!
