I had the privilege of taking a cooking class with Chef Janet, who shared her expertise and culinary wisdom on making potstickers from her time living in Hong Kong. It was a truly authentic experience that left me in awe of her skill and knowledge. Her deep understanding of the cultural nuances behind potstickers added a layer of richness to the experience.

Janet was absolutely fantastic. I wanted to surprise m girlfriend for her 28th birthday with a private cooking experience. This was my first time on Cozymeal, and Janet was the first chef I have done this with. Janet was everything we could've asked for plus more. Her communication upfront was timely and effective. She was very flexible to allow for the dietary restrictions, and allowed my girlfriend and I to customize the dishes of our choice. She was a very good teacher, but also let us do things on our own. She was helpful to "show us the way". We had good conversations and she was entertaining. She did all of the dishes and was very helpful with cleanup. The sushi was awesome and she gave us many tis and tricks. I would certainly recommend Janet!!!

Janet is amazing! She took the time to teach us how to make the dough and showed us how she would prep everything. It was a fun experience for sure and she helped us really see how to make pasta. She gave plenty of recommendations and more!

Cooking with Janet was fun and informative. She was really organized, so that I could relax and enjoy the experience. The food was delicious and I'm excited to be able to make this again on my own.

Pot stickers are way too delicious and complicated for me to ever make, right? Wrong. Janet stepped us patiently through the process of blending ground meats, chopping vegetables and mixing in seasoning. Just doing that much took the mystery out of pot stickers, but Janet even taught us how to make the dough covering part. She had also provided store-bought frozen shells, but I soon found that the dough I had was heartier. When we tasted our finished creations, I was shocked by how well we had done. Janet provided an excellent recipe and made learning it fun. She helped us feel successful. I had a great time.

I recently took Janet's wonderful cooking class. We made Sushi and California rolls. Janet is such a good teacher and made the experience so enjoyable! She had all the equipment ready at our places and walked us through the process step by step. We learned how to prep the fillings and roll each piece. I felt so accomplished when I finished. And it tasted great!
