We made Indian food. It was overall a good experience and the food we made was delicious but the Chef who taught the class was a bit impatient with her students.

We baked brownies, sandwich cookies and a spiral cinnamon pastry. This was a great introduction to baking because the ingredients were already measured for me and the class didn't move too fast. The instructors were extremely helpful which made the whole class a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to get starting with baking.

We had Chef Brendan for the 7:00 PM class on 8/16. First off, this was a blast. There was a wide gamut of skill sets there, from newbies to people with plenty of experience. The chef did a fantastic job of leading this class, making everyone feel capable, and excited to eat the food! As someone who loves to cook, I learned eggs are denatured by sugar, how to poach eggs, and mustards helps emulsify oil. And this is the first thing I’ve cooked in so long that didn’t have garlic in it: I love garlic but what a cool thing. Plus, my date is a self proclaimed amateur in the kitchen and she genuinely enjoyed this. She’s gonna try one of the things even tomorrow. Hey Chef Brendan, I’m sorry I talked a lot with the person next to me about Reno! You did a great job. I’m looking forward to the next one.

It was not Chef Michael, but she was great! Seemed a tad rushed, maybe due to the large size of the class. She was friendly, and informative, and the food was delicious.

Richard

18 Mar 2026

It was a decent class. However I learned only 3 things from it. The dough needs to spring back full for the noodles, basil should be shred not cut with a knife. And an super expensive device is needed to shred the dough into noodles. Dish was decent but shared cooking space kills the return on investment. I'd give cozymeal classes another shot but with lowered expectations on the learning. I suggest cozy make videos of the class to be attended to fill in the knowledge gap. Then attendees could come into class for the hands on experience. That would lessen the buyers remorse from the feeling that I could have just watched a YouTube video. That way when the Chef says "You dont have to go home, but you can't stay here" hits smoother and the class feels less rushed. Also it would be nice to have the recipes ingredients and measurements printed out on the table so it's less of a dump, fry and go experience.

meet our expectations

Tina

14 Sep 2025

I was disappointed. Billed as date night imagine my surprise to learn it was really double date night. 4 people at a station was not what I signed up for. I got to wisk woopie! I also felt the level of instruction was poor. We were simply given instructions without knowledge of why these ingredients etc. since it was cooking with wine it would have been interesting to know why a merlot was chosen and the type region what characteristics etc. my expectations may have been to high. The description of the class and cozy chef is deceptive. I would recommend this to my friends.

Lynne

27 Oct 2024

The class lasted only 1.5 hours not 2.5. There were no skills taught. Not even basic knife skills. It was like cooking a meal box that I could get delivered to my home. No, it was worse. Everything was already prepped. the only prep that we did was mince garlic and cut herbs.

Karen

27 Oct 2024

I would have hoped they would have been able to roll out dough and measure ingredients to learn more. But my granddaughter had fun and loved the cookies.

Chef never introduced himself Everyone was on different page With that said, the class was very informative and food delicious
