Really fun class on making pasta! I loved learning more about the history of the food we were cooking, and the excellent puns.

My husband and I learned how to make pasta and gnocchi from scratch from Chef Sarah. It was such a fun learning experience! I highly recommend her classes for the tactile learning of how pasta dough should feel and look when making it. Chef Sarah is highly knowledgeable and shares many useful kitchen knowledge nuggets along the way. Definitely want to take more classes with her in the future!

She's very knowledgeable and has lots of tips for cooking and/or making a prep process easier, safer or quicker. We made potato gnocchi, bowtie pasta, and sausage tomatoes and spinach sauce for the bow tie pasta. Also a caramelized red onion for bruschetta appetizer. All was delicious. Bruschetta would be even better with a cheese which was also suggested by Sarah. Very nice evening. Only negative is that we didn't eat until 8:45pm which is a bit late for me and I was starving by then (I usually eat by 7pm). I'd prefer class that started a bit earlier--maybe 5pm instead of 6pm.

Chef Sarah gave us such an incredible and informative cooking experience. It was a history, science, and cooking class all bundled together in the welcoming environment of her home. Her vast knowledge The raviolis will be a dish I’ll have to make numerous times. I highly recommend this class for any one of any cooking level!

We cooked wonderful Italian food & an appetizer that we have since made at home. My husband & I had made pasta before, but Chef Sarah's recipe was much easier and the dough was easier to work with. The Caesar salad and story that went with it were fascinating! Also the story about tomatoes and when they were brought to the new world and what happened after that (no spoilers)! The sauce for the pasta was very simple and delicious. The dessert really rounded out the meal. We would definitely take a class with Chef Sarah again. It was also really nice to meet her mom, Chef Linda.

We had a great time at Sarah’s Sushi 101 Cooking Class. The food was fantastic, especially the edamame salad! During the class, Sarah provided great tips and tricks to use in the kitchen ranging from what size knife you should use depending on your height to how to stop crying while cutting onions. Sarah also gave us a lot of history regarding certain foods and cuisines. This class turned out to be so much more than just a sushi cooking class and we had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

We booked the fresh pasta from scratch class with Sarah. It really exceeded our expectations; Sarah has such a wide range of knowledge of cooking techniques and even the history of foods. She is an excellent teacher and time flew by. The dinner was very tasty; we really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend. The Cozy meal staff was also responsive which I appreciated as I had never booked anything like this before.

We picked up a bunch of helpful tips from chef Sarah and made a delicious Italian meal consisting of a flatbread appetizer, Caesar salad, two types of pasta (tagliatelle and squash ravioli) and a Nutella wonton dessert. Glad I booked the class. Anxious to start making my own pasta!!
