This weekend was extremely exciting. We had a blast with Chef Grace. Three hour cooking class and believe me, when I tell you that Chef Grace is a lot of fun. We learned the history about Chinese cuisine and made authentic dishes from scratch. The patience of virtue with the both of us is to be commended. The entire meal was delicious. I still can't believe that we created a beautiful meal. Also, most importantly, Chef Grace is absolutely graceful and welcoming. We will definitely be taking more classes... Thank you, Chef Grace Tamesha & Lenny

We had a fun evening with Chef Grace cooking and learning about Chinese cuisine – it was delicious! We learned a lot of tips and hints about the different ingredients as well as cooking stir fry with a wok. This was perfect for a couple’s night out: relaxing atmosphere, good conversation, informative and of course a great dinner that we cooked and ate.

The class was very fun and hands-on. Chef Grace explained us the history of all the dishes that we cooked and introduced us many ingredients that we are not familiar with. At the end, the food was great and we learned a lot of stuff!

A beautiful and rich experience. Grace taught us to make three delicious recipes as well as essential techniques regarding using a wok, cutting, stir-fry and food preparation. She also gave us helpful advice on shopping for ingredients and was kind and fun to work with. We'd love to take another lesson and learn more from her.

Chef Grace is wonderful!! We learned an immense amount, from knife and wok technique to working together through recipes for delicious sauces, soups, and stir fry. It is so hard to find serious Chinese cooking lessons in the Bay Area, and this was a lovely, fabulous evening.

Grace was very enchanting. She loves to make up receipes that are tasteful, yet simplistic in their creation. She is also an inspiring teacher, illustrating to you step by step, how you can easily duplicate what you've learned. I loved the way she mixed her instruction with stories from her travels and what she learned along the way. A delightful evening of travel and taste. What more could one ask for?

"We had a great time at Chef Grace’s. She was super friendly and patient and explained what and why we were doing things a particular way. Everything we ended up making was super delicious and she was able to modify the dishes to make them vegetarian. We had plenty of leftovers. Would highly recommend this experience!"

Grace took our birthday event to the next level and turned it from a memorable moment to a magical experience! She was everything you could ask for from a host: friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun. Everything we made was easy, delicious, and will keep us full for days. I can't recommend her enough!

I booked a class with Chef Grace to celebrate my anniversary with my husband. We had an amazing time and now we have more recipes to cook when we are out of ideas. Grace was super friendly and patient with us and shared some of her stories traveling around the world. Everything was super clean and ready for us to use. Totally worth the price and the drive

I love cooking, and was pleased to learn quite a lot from Chef Grace. We really had a lot of fun and interesting conversation with her as well! She was very well organized and guided us through as we prepared and cooked a delicious meal with appetizers, and the main course. We will be doing this again!

My gf and I had a wonderful time with Chef Grace. She is friendly, fun, and has an interesting background. She also has a great sense of humor. She taught us a lot about Chinese cooking and cooking in general. Her house is clean, the ingredients were fresh, and the hospitality was excellent. I would encourage everyone to book an experience with her!

We took Chef Grace's "Asian Vegetarian Favorites" cooking class in her home kitchen and had a fantastic experience. Chef Grace was very communicative and easy to get in touch with as soon as we scheduled our class. When we arrived, she was very welcoming, providing us with water and aprons right away and previewing our cooking menu for the evening. The kitchen was also well-stocked, clean, and organized in advance of our arrival. We really loved that beyond guiding us through each step, Chef Grace explained in great depth why we were using each ingredient, tool, and technique. Her advice and knowledge equipped us to be better cooks even after the class was over. Our cooking time ultimately ran longer than expected, but Chef Grace was very understanding and didn’t rush us at all. She was a great conversationalist and created an enjoyable cooking experience. When all the food was ready, she made the eating experience special by helping us plate dishes and set the table in a visually appealing way, and even took our picture with the food we cooked. The dishes were all packed with flavor and utterly delicious! After giving us time to enjoy the meal, Chef Grace brought out some incredible homemade treats and helped us pack up the voluminous leftovers. We would highly recommend this experience to anybody who wishes to learn tons about cooking, have a fun evening, and eat amazing food. Thanks Chef Grace! (P.S.: to anybody who finds her through Cozymeal, this site takes a cut of her pay, so reach out to her directly to schedule the class!)

Chef Grace spent a lovely evening with us and our teenage son. The meal was delicious and we learned a lot about techniques and ingredients. It was a really nice family experience. Although it was a chinese cooking class she has experience cooking a wide variety of cuisines and at the end of the evening gave me a short tutorial on baking bread. She also caters and cooks for families. Would highly recommend Chef Grace

My husband and I had a great time taking Chef Grace’s Chinese pastry class. We learned how to make three items over the course of three hours. Grace welcomed us into her home and kitchen and we met another nice couple. The course was very hands on, some items were pre prepped due to time but Grace thoroughly went through the recipe and technique and explained the directions as we went along. She answered any questions we had and checked on us as we finished each step. The rice cakes were unique and the egg tarts were delicious. We also loved the Shanghai wonton soup- very comforting and easy to make at home. We also went home with leftovers and some wonton to make for another meal. Overall we had a good time and enjoyed working with grace to make these dishes! Planning to make again for our families for lunar new year. Thanks chef!

Great class! Chef Grace was fantastic! Knowledgeable and efficient! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Chef Grace was able to assist us in preparing a delicious meal that we hope to duplicate at home. ( Egg cart, Shanghai wonton, and Top scholar cake) She offered tips on food preparation and provided some history on the origins of food we enjoyed that evening. Would highly recommend!

Chef Grace is the best! She came across the Bay to our home and brought everything we needed to make a wonderful 3-course meal, which she adapted for us to be vegan. Along the way, she provided a lot of very helpful tips or what to buy and how to prepare the food we were making. It was a very hands-on experience and she provided great instruction on many of the basics - how to fry in a wok, how to chop vegetables, etc. We came away knowing a lot more about stir-fry cooking which was a primary goal. And did I mention - the food was delicious! Many thanks!

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time with Chef Grace. Preparing the dishes on the menu with her guidance was fun and overall a great experience. Having the recipes to take home afterwards an added bonus. Will definitely do this again.

It was a fun experience. I think the menu was a bit long and would have liked Chef Grace to walk us through the process a bit more vs give us assignments. The space was a bit challenging in regards to chopping and doing things at the same time. The team had fun and it allowed us to chat and talk. Chef Grace was very accommodating and personable.
