We made a cake and a few pastries! The class was very intersting and fun. Marc really made the class enjoyable. I typically walk away with one or two good takeaways from cooking classes that I have taken in the past but I learned SO MUCH more from Marc in this class! He explained everything so well while making the experience intersting and fun and DELICIOUS!! I have already recommended this class to several people!! The class itself was very well orgonized and the space is very clean with a nice eating area. Really had a great experience and will try other classes as well!

Kamilla, our chef was informative, attentive and very personable. She helped us make such easy yet rich flavorful Thai food. I liked that we got the option taste each food one at A time. The cooking class was everything I hoped for and more! We only had 3 tables which gave private feel which was perfect for my boyfriend’s birthday gift. However, one thing is that one of the participants turned out to be a live streamer and he was distracting. Chef and the class was perfect, but may be in the future, you pre-screen participants to see if they plan on bringing a full production. Otherwise, thank you for a wonderful experience!! Thank you, Kamilla!!!

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.

We had the pleasure of cooking Chinese dishes. I learned so much but what was very helpful and I will incorporate is the process of frying my food to get the crispy texture while keeping the tenderness. Chef Marc was awesome and very knowledgeable and made the experience amazing.

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!!

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.

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!

I write this while eating my delicious leftovers for breakfast...! We had an incredible time yesterday. It was a perfectly planned and executed session, resulting in a stellar meal spanning mainland and Chinese-American classics. Marc is knowledgable, charming, fun and inspiring on so many levels, and I can't wait to return to learn something new from him. Not to be missed!

This class was amazing! We had so much fun learning Chinese recipes (some completely new, some that we had eaten for years). And it was probably one of the most delicious meals we've ever had, ever. Highly recommended :)

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.
