Everything was great the only thing that could have been better was the instructions on how to find the restaurant I had to call for the name and got lost looking for him because I was not familiar with the La Cantera shopping center. Besides that the class was simple and fun will love to book again. Chef was great

Excellent presentation, fun filled practical learning experience. Chef Michael made the evening so worth the investment. Lalanie and Sebastian were a big supporting help. Would 100% refer a friend to the experience and we also purchased a very nice cutting board during our intermission. Michael & Theresa Perez

Chief TJ was so kind and nice and helpful! We truly appreciated her delivery of a four course meal in a short two hours! However....the cooking experience was not as described. Four couples prepared one meal. Little did I know that was the format of the cooking class. That was not in the description. Another HUGE disappointment was the meat. I chose this particular class because of the description -- it stated ribeye as the main course. The chief surprises the class with flank steak! The online description was very different from the actual class and therefore I was very disappointed in the entire experience. I actually thought that I was going to cook during my cooking class. I will not participate again nor recommend anyone to participate in Cozymeal.

Chef Miguel was not there- it was another chef - although the atmosphere was nice, 2 of the 4 items were not able to be made by us because the time allowed -

Chef Miguel was not in attendance today. No hate on the chef that was there. I think she did the best she could but the class was just not what I was expecting. The 1st class I went to was so interactive where each group made their own croissants and we got to see every step of the process. This one had one thing being done for the entire class and we all only saw one step at most. Some only saw others participate and got to eat the meal at the end. The pictures were a little misleading as we all thought we’d be making individual steaks and wound up getting like 3-4 strips of a super thin flank steak. I loved the 1st class so much that I came again and brought my mom to this and it was really just a let down.

Great class- awesome experience walked away with confidence knowing I can now make basic croissants!!! Looking forward to participating in other classes offered by #cozymeal

Good instructions for the recipes. Should be clear that you’ll be standing for several hours and no seats are available.

Laura Sue

21 Oct 2024

The facility is nice. The instructor was a little mechanical (vs. engaging). The recipes were good although a bit rushed/little chance to actually try/make the sauces. Would have preferred an opportunity to sit down and eat, vs. standing and feeling rushed out the door

We were told that we would receive copies of the recipes that were presented and that has not happened. The class was fun and recipes very good.

The class was way over crowded. There was no seating at all. The class was alright for absolute beginners in the kitchen, but I don't feel like I got my money's worth.

I got my wife and daughter the macaroon class for Mother's day. They both have not stopped talking about how great it was and that they want to do more classes. The wife was adament that I join her as well. Be prepared husbands, if you do this you WILL be buying more classes for her.

This experience was ok but there were a lot of issues. The pin for the location was wrong. So our group went to the wrong place at first. The people seemed flustered we were there. No one told us that there was a limit to the alcohol and they were perplexed with the amount we brought. They also had issue with us putting drinks in the refrigerator. None of this was told to us beforehand. Also, the people at the front desk told me we should have booked through them and not through Cozymeal. As an out of towner booking a corporate event, I found this through the internet. This interaction was off putting. Our chef was not Miguel - it was Kelly. At first the chef was a little flustered and not friendly but she did warm up and we ended up having a good time. Overall this experience was a B-

Lindsey

Enjoyed the Chef and the experience. Wished we could have learned more about the baking, filling and icing parts as we spent the majority of our time making decorations out of fondant, and while we did learn about fondant, really that part could have been 5 minutes of the class. Now that I understand what to expect I wouldn’t take another class.

Justin

Chef Miguel was excellent. We did expect to have our own materials to work with vice working with another pair. Specially the part when mixing the wet and dry ingredients together, the most critical part of making the macarons. Perhaps it’s because we came in late. Willing to try another class but I expect to have our/my own stuff to work with and learn with.

Taylor

Chef Miguel did a great job and we really enjoyed his class. I prefer classes where each person does the dish from start to finish. We got lucky and there were only 2 other people in the class so our experience was pretty good. But if this was a full class of 16, I would not have enjoyed it as much and it would have been a 3 star review. It needs to be made clear what people are purchasing.

Kelly did such an amazing job. She made class interesting fun and taught us good techniques to apply. I will definitely return for another class. We drove 4 hours for the cooking class. We arrived a little late I feel a little more details to the instructions on where to find the class would of been more helpful. But overall it was an amazing experience and class. Me and my husband enjoyed it.
