Cooking Class - Flavorful Summer Grilling From Scratch

The Thai cooking class last night was very informative & enjoyable. Robert

Pizza. Meatballs

I attended the Naples menu class. Chef Ty was very enjoyable to work with on the menu items.

Hibachi Japanese class was very good! The chef was very knowledgeable and interacted well with the group. I felt I could make the dishes at home after his instruction. I would recommend the class to friends and family.

I enjoyed this class very much. I am already signed up for other classes. The chef was great. I asked about receiving the recipes & she said they would be emailed . I have not received them. I even checked my spam file. I would really like to have those recipes so I can transition them to vegan for my wife & I. Thank you, Robert Chavez

We made steak, potatoes, green salad and soufflés. It was all excellent. Please send out the recipes for the class. Thanks Donna Evans

This macaron class was EXCELLENT!!! The teacher was extremely knowledgeable. I learned so much...beyond just making macarons. She gave us step by step instructions, lots of individual attention, and many baking tips that were, in themself, worth the price of admission! Icing on the cake, was coming home with our production and sharing them with the family. Just terrific!

We made the best fanciest banana bread I have ever had in my life. Everything was great! Loved it.

Mary was spectacular! We had some much fun, learned a ton, and the croissants were amazing. I will definitely take another class with her.

Tamales, pork and green chile, and red, vegetable.

This was the perfect team building activity. The entire staff were accommodating, knowledgeable and fun. Thank you!

We had a great time learning to make gnocchi, steak, and panna cotta in our Tuscany cooking class. I loved learning about the Chef's experience training in Japan and love of asian fusion food. I liked that the class was hands on with plenty of demonstration as well. Thanks!

Excellent chef, excellent class, excellent date night

Chef L. J was great. Making macarons is very complex, and while it was a bit rushed at times and hard to follow the instructions, we were still able to finish in about 3 hours.

This class was very nice and fun! It was informative and very good & tasteful! The only thing is that we were told we were going to be sent the recipe and I have yet to receive it which is upsetting since I want to re make it! :)

Chef Mario provides a wonderful experience. I had a lot of fun.

A nice afternoon making pasta, good activity for a date or small group looking for something to do. Chef Dana was a good host who kept a nice energy level throughout. The food itself was pretty good, too, and it was nice that a lot of the stuff was prepped prior. All this said, it would have been nice to learn a bit more throughout the process so have more takeaways to apply in our own cooking. The other not so great thing was that 4 people had to share each dish as far as prepping/cooking it. We enjoyed working with the other couple, but it would've been nice to make our own dishes ourself instead of taking turns kneading dough for "4 turns" and then letting someone else jump in. Lastly, Chef Dana mentioned she would send the recipes, but we haven't received them yet, if someone could please share those. The ricotta filling for the tortellini was especially tasty.

Informative class and the chef demonstrated things for the class very well

It was so great!! The chef was so kind and professional.

It was very great, but sometimes he ran thru the instructions too fast to comprehend.

Very fun. Chef was fantastic with explaining procedure and etiquette

Food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. Wish had option of adding wine.

We loved it!!!!

Chef Donna did an excellent job orchestrating the group through the preparation and cooking process for the Pasta from Scratch class. She was engaging, fun and clearly very knowledgeable.

Loved the experience! Very professional and fun!

Fun and informative! Nice chefs and guests, good recipes and a couple of general techniques too!

Love the class, and now is chef/instructor was great

What a great class. From the beginning with regard to explaining the different variations that we were going to make. Guiding us in the preparing of the ingredients and working with us in the cooking of the ingredients and how it all comes together . The end result the best getting to eat what we made. Delicious. Ready to register for my next class. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

My husband and I really enjoyed this class. We both learned some things, and had a great meal at the end. We would definitely recommend this date night class.

My husband and I had such great time. We have been wanting to take a cooking class together and highly recommend it.

It was such a great class. I learned so much and can't wait to replicate the dishes at home.

Ethan's passion for cooking shows & made the class educational & fun! We look forward to seeing him again as well as the helpers. Thank you for sharing your passion to cook!

Great time! It was a simple enough meal to learn that helped us both expand our palette and culinary repetoire. Recommend for all. I would ask in the future exactly what you are going to learn.

Great chef cook instructor. Fun ambience and learned a few things. Enjoyed it a lot!

It was so much fun! Learned several techniques from Chef Miguel and the food was amazing. I believe the small class size helped. I would recommend this class.

Our family of 3 (including a teen son) really enjoyed this class. The recipes were easy to figure out and make, and it's nice to have the book to refer to the 3 things we made, as well as all of the other content. Chef Kelley was very helpful, friendly, and encouraging with our son!

Chef was attentive and helpful. Would have liked to taste it (!), but a health emergency ended the class early. Still waiting for the recipes.

Overall very informative. Adult only class would be a nice option.. Chef had amazing experience, very informative and knowledgeable. Should have a 5 min late policy. Late guests distracting. Would have liked a little quicker pace. Overall Very great seat up. Definitely an experience.

The class was easy to follow, and I feel the recipes will be easy to replicate at home. This class should be 3 hrs long, not 2. The dough didn't have enough time to rise and didn't have enough time to bake. My focaccia bread wound up burning because the instructor was moving on with the class and the bread didn't get out of the oven fast enough.

We had a great time! John was great leading the class and the food was delicious! Will definitely take another class!

The chef was very personable and knowledgeable. The class was fun and the meal turned out delicious. One wish was maybe a glass of wine with the meal.

We had a great time! Large group, very organized and fun! Food was delish! Never received the recipes from the class to make at home

Very helpful and informative, would definitely take other classes. Really enjoy being able to ask questions along the way.

Absolutely delicious food! Really enjoyed the group and the chef leading the class.

The French croissants class was excellent. Chef Eric was very helpful and the experience was great. Be prepared for an engaging hands-on class We learned a lot and had fun. The final products (sweet and savory croissants) were delicious.

Great class. Learned a lot and the bread was delicious.

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

I learned how to make steak. The most fun was making the gnocchi shapes.

As far as I know, the description didn’t say couples would be cooking in pairs. Felt cheap.

The instructor and staff were excellent. However I did not enjoy the non traditional tamales. Nor did I receive the recipes. I at least wanted the masa recipe.

Tamale I

We made tamales. The corn husks had not been soaked long enough so they were not really pliable. The instructor and assistants were very nice, checking on us and cleaning up. We did not have enough masa for the amount of filling we had made. Overall, the class was fun, I just felt were missing some of the basic materials.

I did the holiday baking class. I feel like cozy meal misrepresented this experience. There was no chef Michael. It was team work and not at all appropriate for a single person. Basically no cooking took place just a lot of melting different things. That you took turns in your group assembling. I would have liked to know ahead of time that it was a group activity and not an individual cooking experience. Would definitely not do this again or recommend. The people that hosted were great. But not what o had in mind when I signed up.

We felt the overall class went well. My only complain would be for the price we paid per person, I was surprised we had to work as teams of 4. The cost of class was enough to cover ingredients for each person and not have to share with three other people.

Bought the class for my mom and I. We had to cook in a group with 2 other people which means we had to share a cutting board and knives so half the time at least 2 people were just standing around waiting. We also had to share all the food we made between the 4 of us and they didn't give us much food. The scallion pancake recipe was horrible. It ended up like scrambled eggs, and that was because of the recipe and instruction, not the execution (happened to everyone's). There was supposed to be coffee and tea but all that was out was water. They didn't provide any recipes or written instruction so we could follow along with the instructor. The instructor didn't know the answer to most of the questions people asked. The other 3 things we made turned out pretty good but it isn't worth the cost.

Class was cancelled just before leaving to go to the paella cooking class. They told my wife the chef was sick and offered to reschedule but half of our group of six is visiting from out-of-town. Could not be helped, but still disappointed.

Nice guy, terrible “class”.

The Pie baking experience didn’t really live up to my, very beginner, pie making expectations. Chef Mike was a nice guy but he was very open about the fact that he was a savory chef not a pastry chef. He didn’t have much to add to the process of baking other than to say he wasn’t into measuring very much. This was evident in the prep for the class. We made one full size pie of peaches and blueberries. After getting things mixed, we pored the filling into the crust and it was about 1/3 the amount it should have been. Not a huge deal but it doesn’t show any attention to basic prep. When doing the lattice on the pie the sous chef (who claimed to be a pastry chef) didn’t know the process for weaving the lattice. She instructed us one way and was corrected by, I’m guessing, the manager of (the store where the class held. The kicker was that the ovens apparently weren’t baking our pies as fast as they should have been. So, our pie came out almost baked by the end of the class. The chef instructed the sous chef to take it out of the pie tin and put it in a cake box, for us to take home and finish baking. Well this assumes we have a pie tin at home and also assumes that we’ll be able to get a fully loaded pie, sitting in just the crust, off of a cardboard box and into a pie tin. Not easy for an experienced chef I’m sure, let alone a couple of novices. I would have guessed working ovens or better prep with timing would be a basic feature of a class like this. There was so much down time waiting for the pie to slowly bake that the chef started teaching us how to cut onions and mince garlic. Nothing wrong with that, just a lot of standing and waiting that seemingly shouldn’t have happened. The one thing everyone on staff seemed prepared to do was push sign-ups for their other classes and products in the store (for which we were given a 10% off coupon). All in all, I was disappointed. This was supposed to be a nice gift for my wife’s birthday but it turned out to be a big let down. I would not recommend the Cozy Meal classes.

The class was interesting with good information. The 2 1/2 hr. class turned out to be 3 1/2 hours long. Standing in pretty much one spot on a ceramic tile floor, for 3 1/2 hrs. was a killer for both me and my granddaughters . Stools would be nice. I also paid for 3 people and I believe that I didn't receive enough goodies in our box. That was disappointing. I think that each person should receive their own bus of goodies. I do want to add that our chef was knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant .
