Cooking Class - Discover Chinese Cooking

We had an amazing sushi cooking experience to celebrate my husband’s birthday. From the very beginning, they responded very quickly to messages and were always available and attentive. The experience was fun, pleasant, and truly special. I was very grateful for the opportunity to learn about the origins of everything and a bit of the history behind sushi, which made it even more meaningful. I would definitely do this again in the future and highly recommend it.

Kamila was amazing!! She made the whole night so special. The meals were really good and easy to make. Highly recommend her and will most definitely be going again.

We had an amazing time! Our family of 8 cooked pho, spring rolls and crepes. Everything was delicious! Our chef was patient, fun & interactive. Will definitely do this again.

We had the absolute best time making sushi with Chef Kamilla today! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it such a fun, relaxed experience. Everything was super fresh, well organized, and easy to follow — and the sushi turned out so good! Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun and tasty activity! Love, Paula & Ivan

This was by far one of the favorite classes my mom and I have ever taken, and we’ve done quite a few! Chef Marc was an absolute delight. The vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The class framework was thoughtful, engaging, and incredibly well-executed. What truly sets this class apart is the attention to detail. Every aspect of the experience was immaculate. From the clear directions to the venue (complete with a contact number), to the interior setup, comfortable room temperature, and beautifully presented stations. The kitchen tools were high quality, ingredients were neatly laid out with laminated table cards, and even the table settings were on point. And as someone who comes from both an operations and creative background, I have to say: Chef Marc's recipe template is hands-down the best I’ve seen from any chef-led class. Every detail felt intentional and appreciated, no stone left unturned. Bravo, Chef Marc! This class deserves a standing ovation.

Great experience! Truly memorable. Yum

We weren’t exactly sure what to expect, but it was an awesome experience. We made sushi with Kamilla and it was soooo fresh, tasty, and fun! We really enjoyed learning different techniques and trying so many variations of sushi. It was a great time (and a lot of food - go hungry)! The cooking space was nice, too.

Loved it!!

Sushi. Enthusiastic, attentive chef.

Kamilla Kurmanbekova is outstanding! She has you do put the entire meal together, explains how and why you add the ingredients you do, shows you how to chop and cut like an expert chef, and she is a gifted conversationalist, -- making you feel welcomed, appreciated and valued. This Vietnamese cooking class was the very best cooking class I've ever taken.

A fantastic date night and overall experience!! We learned a lot about Thai cuisine and how to cook fresh and delicious meals. The chef instructor was friendly and gave us great pointers on cooking in general. It’s amazing how easy it is to make delicious and fresh meals at home, we just needed some guidance! Thank you for a great anniversary dinner/ experience. We can’t wait to try your other cooking courses and even your art classes!!

Absolutely incredible. Clear and helpful guidance. We were with Kamilla who answered all our questions and provided multiple opportunites to practice. The class came with notes afterwards so I didn't need to take notes. We left encouraged and inspired to cook. I've taken a couple of cooking classes with too much lecture or too little directives. Kamilla had a perfect balance between doing and talking.

The chef was fun and really helpful. Easy class and the best part was meeting the other students!!

Fun

This class was exceptional. Not only was everything well prepared and set up, but Camille (spelling?) was such a great chef, host, and kind person. The other guests there became instant friends. I highly recommend this class and looking forward to another class.

We had a great time with the Cozymeal cooking class. Marc was a lot of fun, and the space was cozy, well-organized, and felt like home. It was the perfect setting to cook and bond. The recipes were simple (thanks to Marc’s prep work) and everything turned out delicious. We also appreciated that Marc was happy to let us take our time enjoying the dinner and accommodated the extra time.

Residence Chef Kamilla was 5 stars. Great experience for me and the team. Will look to do this again soon.

It was great!

Marc is so personable and played great music and brought the best vibes. We really enjoyed and the food was delicious!

Really fun and comfortable experience taking a cooking class here. The class is in a converted house, which makes for a really interesting space that can accommodate cooking, a dining area, and plants and an outdoor garden that provide some of the ingredients you cook with! We took the Distinctive Tastes of Thailand class - food was delicious, and I appreciated learning about each individual ingredient and how it contributes to the recipe. I'm not much of a cook, but I felt at ease and empowered in the class, and came away with a some new skills, knowledge and recipes in my arsenal.

Took the class with Kamilla Kurmanbekova; she did an excellent job taking us through the courses, explaining why we were doing things a certain way, and the result was amazing dishes. She kept us entertained throughout the process and kept it casual while still being informative. Would highly recommend giving it a shot.

I had an incredible experience in Chef Mark’s Thai cooking class! He taught us how to make amazing dishes like som tum, tom kha gai, and pad see ew, and made the entire process so much fun. Mark is not only knowledgeable and talented, but he’s also super nice, helpful, and has a great sense of humor. I learned a ton of new cooking techniques, and his teaching style made it all feel so approachable—even for a beginner like me. I can’t wait to sign up for more classes with him. Highly recommend!

Marc was awesome! The food was delicious and his instructions made it easy to follow. He is very kind and passionate about what he does. Highly recommend!!

This was a great way to start including bread making in our lives!

Chef Marc was so personable and explained each dish while giving cultural background on the ingredients. He let us take our time and we did not feel rushed when we sat down to eat each course we cooked. We are so eager to book another class with him! Thank you Chef Marc!

Thank you for making our date night so special with the culinary experience. I was a bit hesitant because my husband had never experienced anything like this. To my surprise he right away hit it off with another couple and before you know it, he was talking to everyone. The diversity in culture was very refreshing and we all had something to talk about. The chef was very engaging and made sure everyone was participating and engaged. The chef had a wonderful sense of humor and gave mini history lessons in between steps. We both learned how to prepare a Japanese dish. The experience ties lovely when we all shared a delicious meal with everyone who was part of the experience. I would recommend this experience to any couple for a refreshing date night.

I had an absolute blast at the cooking class held in this cozy private home with a super talented chef. The vibe was so chill and homey, it felt like a big family get-together. Every dish we made was off the charts delicious. Even the newbies nailed it because the chef broke everything down in such an easy, fun way. I've actually been to this cooking class three times now because the first time was so awesome, l had to come back for more. The organization is just top-notch. Totally recommend everyone to jump in and try out one of these classes. It's a must-do!

My daughter and I enjoyed our cooking class, The Art of Preserving, very much. It was a wonderful experience to spend time with my daughter while we learned to pickle our favorite foods. As a teacher, I especially appreciated the way the chef explained step by step the process of pickling. The chef made sure that all the participants had a part in the whole experience making every one very comfortable no matter what level of cooking experience everyone had. We quickly became a happy team. We began to share experiences and looked forward to our end product. I was surprised to learn the amount of things you can pickle and how easy it is. We learned to pickle blueberries and they were delicious. It was wonderful experience to engage in conversation, learn something new and tie it all together by sitting at a grand table with people you didn’t know and share a delicious meal you helped prepare.

This was the best! So much fun to meet new people, two amazing chefs and to learn new culinary skills. Then, the best part, we got to eat the dishes we cooked and had a wonderful meal together! Altogether, a stellar experience and one I would recommend to anyone who's interested in elevating their own cooking skills!

I attended a Saturday class with my guy. We learned how to make Aperol Spritz, Crostini Bianchi, Green Bean Salad, Penne with roasted red and yellow bell pepper, Sautéed chicken Piccata with white wine sauce, and Moscato macerated strawberries. All participants had a job and were responsible for a station. The menu was based off of recipes from renowned Marcella Hazan. Our chefs were so welcoming and patient with everyone. They assisted everyone at all the stations when needed. They answered all questions and gave suggestions for techniques. We sat around the table and enjoyed as a family the food we cooked as a team. It doesn't get better than that! At the end, our chef presented everyone with a certificate. We were all so appreciative of the amazing experience and wanted to clean all the dishes. This was an experience that I will share with others and remember forever. I forgot to mention that they even have a vegetable garden in the backyard. Some of our vegetables were picked and used in our meal.

An elegant, educational and fun cooking experience! This class was hands-on and so much fun! From the second I walked in I was made to feel at home. I was kindly greeted by the Host and Chef, who offered delicious hors d’oeuvres while waiting for the other students to arrive. The class began with the Chef gathering all of us in the kitchen to introduce the Menu, the ingredients, the tools we would be using and all the preparation involved to complete our dish. The Chef was very knowledgeable and organized. He guided us step by step through a beautiful cooking experience and made sure to engage all students, regardless of their cooking level and experience. I learned so much and worked through some of my kitchen fears. The class ended with all of us sitting together at a beautiful and elegantly prepared dinner table. We sat together like a family as we talked about all the different flavors and textures from our completed dish and shared our fabulous experiences from the day. I left the class feeling encouraged, with less kitchen fears and filled with excitement to cook more. This was a cooking experience I will never forget and I’m looking forward to attending future classes!

Here's to another cooking adventure with Mom! What an amazing time we had! So much fun! We both learned even more new culinary technics and dishes from scratch. Last night was Italian night so we made lasagna for the main dish and pineapple ricotta pie for dessert. And when I mean from scratch, I mean from scratch from making ricotta cheese, Italian pork sausage with all the seasonings, the marinara sauce and more. Our Chef for the masterclass was incredible and so full of knowledge. He answered all of our questions no matter what they were and shared the basics of culinary arts including the terminology, types of cuts and methodology. At the end, we all sat around at the grand table and enjoyed all of what we created. I do have to say that I loved everything that we made. The presentation was fantastic and the flavors in the dishes were simply delicious with every bite. It was so nice to enjoy this dinner with everyone as we all sat together at the table family style and had great intellectual conversations. We went deep and with no filter. LOL! Just simply amazing! Definitely worth it. I'm really looking forward to more adventures and classes like this again. Mom and I thoroughly enjoy cooking and this just took it to a whole different level.

Listen, it was fine. She was amazing and super sweet. We did, however, ask for Kosher, and she had no idea aboyut that so our food restrictions were not relayed to her. And then when we did tell her that we're Kosher she wasn't clear on whether or not the ingredients had shellfish in it or not. Also, we did not have a choice in protein which is what the class had explained that we would, or that was the impression I was under. The main dish was wayyyyy too salty, the beef had been pre-seasoned and in my opinion inedible. Other than that she was wonderful and we learned things. It was fun.
