Cooking Class - Scratch-Made Italian Bread Duo

I really hope you read this!. I very rarely write poor reviews, but the class was expensive, and I was very disappointed. Firstly however, I just want to say that I liked the facility, and the supporting staff in the kitchen were phenomenal! However, I think the chef’s name was David, but he never introduced himself. It was stated in the description that it was a beginner class, however, he didn’t explain to us or show us how to do anything, so you had to ask. At that point, he was very condescending. For example, the first thing he had us do was separate egg yolks, but I’d never done that. He just told the class, “Separate the egg yolks,” and he never showed us HOW. What is intuitive to him is not intuitive to everyone, and that’s why we’re in the beginner class. He also didn’t tell us what we were doing for which dish. For example, “toast the capers.” For what? What will we be putting them in? In addition, the meal was way too complicated for beginners; there were too many dishes, and they were pretty difficult. My strong suggestion is that truly beginner classes should have smaller, less complicated meals so there is time to show people how to do it. And please don’t mark that it’s a class is for beginners when it’s really not. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! I’m going to give it one more shot…

Very fun will definitely do it again

Great class. Chef Kyle was very informative.

Chef Randy was amazing and very helpful. The helpers were also very good and helpful. We will definitely do another class!

Chef Randy was wonderful! She was incredibly sweet and had great instructions and techniques to help us through our class. We all look forward to gifting classes and coming back!

My fiancée and I took this class and had a fun time. Would definitely recommend for a date night and we look forward to taking more classes

Good class. A bit hurried. No recipes were emailed as of this morning.

Chef did a wonderful job explaining and was more than happy to answer any questions. She was a wealth of information! Great class and the hands on experience was invaluable. Can't wait to get the recipes for everything we made in class!

We has a wonderful time learning from Chef Randy and making the meal. The pesto apparently didn't come out as she expected, but it was the best part of the meal!

Chef Kyle was very informative and helpful. We enjoyed the experience and the yummy food we made.

Chef Alisa and her helper, Annie, were so helpful with questions and tips.

We had a lot of fun taking this class. We learned a few things that we will do at home.

Chef David was awesome!!!

What a great class!! Chef Randy was awesome, very knowledgeable!! We learned a lot from her. The food was amazing that we prepared!! Highly recommend this class.

Chef Joe was wonderful. We enjoyed the experience, learned a lot and helped prepare the best meal I have had in some time. I highly recommend Cozymeal!

Chef Randy was extraordinary! I wanted a unique and fun date to surprise a VIP in my life. This hit all of the major “wants” in a fun date. It was informative, educational, social and above all… Delicious! I’m looking forward to the sushi class. Great job, thank you!!!!

We had a great time! We had no experience making sushi, and we were able to prepare some really good rolls. Staff was super friendly and helpful, and the class had a fun atmosphere. We will be back!

Chef Randy was informative and fun. We all had a great time and everyone learned something new! Fantastic for couples or groups!

Would have preferred getting a printed set of instructions for croissant recipes morning of class. Have not received the email with recipes yet. Suggest making class long enough to allow for proper rising times so we know what finished product should look and taste like. Otherwise a nice experience.

The chef was great the experience not so much

There was a lot of standing. Wish we could have sat down to eat. The food was good. Our chef was new at leading the class but did a good job.

My wife and I had a lot of fun this evening. Our chef was very knowledgeable, although it was his first time. Therefore, the organization/order of operations could have been a bit more smooth. Overall, we had a blast and the food was great. Would definitely take another class again in the future.

was amazing! Thank you for such a great evening. Our head chef was fun and informational and we had a great group. Amazing date night idea!

Chef Randy provided lots of great tips and feedback. She made the class easy-to-follow and fun! The fettuccine alfredo and chicken parmesan were delicious. Would recommend (and the classes for families are especially fun to attend with your kids)!

We loved the class and the food that we were taught to make. Chef Randy had a lot of energy and we felt like we learned a lot in the process. We will definitely be attending another class sometime.

Randy had great energy and was so helpful as well. She made it such a fun experience and I will definitely be back to do another class with her!

Randy did an awesome job. Our group had a great time and learned a lot. We’ll probably come back for more classes.

Chef Myra gave us a fun and tasty class. We really enjoyed ourselves! This was a Christmas gift from our kids, and we had never done anything like this. We will do it again!

Great class !

Lot's of fun. We still haven't received the email with the recipes. Perhaps tomorrow?

It was a wonderful experience!

Still thinking about that orange sauce

The class was great but i had to be pulled out a few times because of some discrepencies of paying through a 3rd party overall fun experience and nice staff

The meal was delicious; however, we were a little disappointed by the experience. 1. Upon arrival the greeting by the staff was cold 2. We scheduled this as a date night. Initially we were given our work space, then moved and grouped with others to complete the evening in a group setting (this was felt to be less work for the staff) 3. The Resident Chef did not appear to be very knowledgeable of the recipes being created. She continuously corrected herself and had to keep referring to the paper copy of the recipes. (we could have followed a recipe) 4. The Resident Chef would move quickly through steps giving instruction to the next step before the room was finished completing the previous step. 5. There were two assistants to the Resident Chef; however, they didn't assist. I guess I would have thought they should have been working the room making sure each table was completing tasks as directed and providing assistance or additional instruction, if needed. The entire evening felt like they were just going through the motions trying to get the evening over with and get us all out of there as quickly as possible Disappointing for the cost.

It was a great experience and definitely worth it!!! Great instructions and had a great time.

Great class!

Fun experience, great recipes, and enthusiastic team teaching/supporting us. Can’t wait for our next class!

The class was so much fun and delicious! We learned a lot and are going to incorporate the techniques at home. It was our first time and we will definitely be back.

We had a WONDERFUL time today at our class with chef Randy! She worked so well with our 10 year old son that is an aspiring chef. He rated the class “one million out of ten”.

Chef Randy was an excellent teacher. We not only took away knife skills, but also how to make some new recipes! Thank you!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Fantastic experience! Extremely patient and jovial. Would definitely take another class from Chef Randy.

It wasn’t really a teaching experience as things were done in a chaotic way. We didn’t expect to be paired up with another couple as we thought this would be an opportunity for my husband and me to do all the cooking together apart from other couples. The chef wasn’t clear on which step we were on during the class and she seemed unprepared and uncomfortable.

We really enjoyed the class and the Chef. The pot we cooked in would be better positioned if it was assessable to everyone. The hood above the cooking area had a nasty layer of grime that surprised us.

Super fun and delish treats! We are definitely coming back soon!

1) We have a habit of taking cooking classes when we go on vaca. We have taken several classes in Chicago, Ashville, NC, etc. So we have lots of experience 2) As a Senior, standing the entire time was hard for me, my back was starting to tighten up. My suggestion is that when a person singns up, there should be an option of aksing for a stool. 3) ALL, and I mean ALL, of the previous classes at all venues, gave out a written recicpe for each dish, foe each couple. Not having the paper in front of us there was a lot of confusion that didn't need to happen. The Chef did a great job, but she was having to repeat herself way too many times, and becasue it was a fairly large class, there was a lot of side talking (to be expected) but it got to be so loud that we simply couldn't hear the Chef. 4) Going back to number 1, when the cooking part was over, a place to sit down, to eat, would have been great. 5) With all of the above, we will come back. Thanks for the opportunity to leave a few comments.

Chef Zuri was awesome.

Had a great time and the food was delicious!!

We did our class with Chef Monique and it was a very nice evening. Our food was very flavorful and we can’t wait to recreate the same dishes at home. I wish we were given papers with instruction or ingredients beforehand to take notes on, but that is my only critique.

Took my wife to this event for her birthday and we both had a great time and learned some things.

We had a resident chef. Written recipes were not provided. The instructor was disorganized. There were 16 people in class when the work areas look designed for just 8 people. Because there were so many people, there wasn't enough dough to go around. What you show in photos is not at all what was made in class! This was a waste of money.

Great class and was a lot of fun. Chef Randy did a great job. Recommend

Amazing! Such a fun experience and loved learning how to make these amazing meals!

Chef Randy was high energy and very personable. She took the intimidating Beef Wellington and made the whole class fun no matter your cooking experience. Will definitely take more classes with her!

The experience was amazing and we had the best time!

My husband and I had an enjoyable time. The food turned out excellent. Chef Joy and the others in the class were delightful to be around. There was a lot of standing. I wish we had been able to at least sit down to eat the delicious food. Overall great experience.

Loved the class. I was able to make the croissants at home with ease. My family loved them. Looking forward to my next class.

Excellent instructor. Great hands-on experience. I was able to go home and replicate the recipes.

Our instructor was super hands on - taught us some great techniques! Food turned out amazing. We were all impressed!

I loved the class. The ladies I was paired up with were a little chatty so was hard to listen to chef! Before class I was very intimidated but after class I was I got this! Excited to try making fresh pasta my self! Great class over all would definitely take again!

Enjoyed the class. Vanessa is really fun! Cheers!

Fun class. A little complicated with the dumpling dough, but we got through it and the food tasted great.

Loved it, but would have preferred smaller class size so that we could work in groups of two.

I enjoyed the class. The chef was really personable, knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything clearly. The food was great at the end.

This class was fun and educational for my daughter and her friend. They both learned some techniques and were given appropriate attention.

It was excellent. It was very hands on, and the class was small. Justin, the chef that was the class instructor, is a fantastic, hands on teacher.

The class was great! The menu was delicious and doable at home. The instructor was spot on. Looking forward to doing the next class!

Class was fun , my teen grandson loved it. We can't wait to do another class together.

Amazing class. Chef and her assistant were wonderful! Highly recommend.

Great class. I learned a lot and class was very hands on.

This was the first cooking class I have ever taken! It was very informative and I enjoyed the class . I will be taking more classes in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our class. The instructor made our class so much fun. The macarons were delicious. Looking forward to more classes.

This was the first cooking class I took, it was great! Greg, the chef, did such a great job teaching the class. I'm looking forward to going to more classes.

The Instructor was "world class" with supportive instructions and humorous analogies. Considering taking the class for a second time.

This class was great! Very informative and lots of fun, the instructors were very helpful (and the food was delicious!). I highly recommend this class and look forward to taking another class soon.
