It was a very nice experience. I would prefer not to share with another couple though unless they came with us. It was a delightful time though.

It was a great experience. I attended the class with my husband and our two kids, and we all had an amazing time. The chef made everything very easy to follow and created such a happy, welcoming vibe. My kids absolutely loved it—they had so much fun operating the machine to make cookie dough, mixing all the prepared fudge ingredients together in a bowl on the stove, and decorating and making the strawberry tart. We all worked together and enjoyed the warm and delicious cookies in the end. There was a small accident during the class, but the chef and staff handled it quickly and turned it into a wonderful teaching moment for our kids, showing them that accidents happen and that it’s okay because we can fix them. Overall, it was an excellent and memorable experience. The chef and staff were truly great. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this class to our friends and family.

Chef Gus was personable, helpful, n great at teaching the class. I am a housewife who’s been cooking for 45 years, actually learnt a few new things from Chef Gus that I can apply to my own everyday cooking. I enjoyed my time in the class. The only possible improvement I can offer is with a few supplies items when we have to wait for chef Gus to pass out…those can be placed in a more central location of the space n the students can b instructed to get the supplies themselves, e,g. Water for the bao dough, Saran Wrap to cover dough, as well as take out containers. Thank you!

Thought it would be more hands on. Most items were pre cut and peeled, mostly we just added the items and mixed them. Class only lasted about 1 hr. 45 min.

Was fantastic, our teens also had a great time, and we learned some valuable tips and tricks. Plus, the dreaded caramel, which I had previously burned on more than one occasion. Our chef was excellent!

The Chef wasn’t Gus, but the woman who did lead the class was great. She was super knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. She was also engaging and authoritative, which is always appreciated in an educational environment. Will definitely be taking more classes.

Chef Stevie was amazing. Super knowledgeable, encouraging, and the food turned out really good! We ended up needing to get a midnight snack after, but a lot of other people in the class seemed to have leftovers -- it's a good amount of food, but if you're really hungry, you'll want more.

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.

Emilie

01 Dec 2023

Overall, the class was really fun! In a way I wish it was a tiny bit more challenging. It felt like we did a few knife cuts, then took a break and then cooked a bit before eating. All in all, I wish it had been a bit more difficult or ""fast"" pace wise. The food we made was really good, except for the pad thai which was disappointing. Also would be super nice to make a dessert!"

Paula

01 Dec 2023

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.

This was a horrible experience. We use the same chef team where we reserved an experience last Mother’s Day. They have a full class but never indicated that it would be grouped in 4s. There is only two and the split my mother and I into different teams which completely ruins the experience. The resident chef has been very nice but this is terrible way to start Mother’s Day weekend. This is so disappointing.

Was a part of the dumpling class on Feb 8th. Set-up was interesting with most couples/other folks having their own station. We were partnered with another couple (who were nice!) but not an ideal setup for date night out. If I knew this would be the case i would not have booked the class. Because I booked through cozymeal I was not given the recipes for any of the dishes even though I requested them at the end of the course and wrote down my email so I can get them. A couple of the dishes were really great but I’ll need to find my own recipes. Also unfortunately the instructor was not very helpful when administering instructions, during the pan frying of the gyoza we were told to have the heat at 1000-1200 for the gyoza. This lead to us and multiple others in the class to burn their gyoza even when we turned it down for our next batch we put the heat to 500 and still burned. Instructor had no comments to really correct this issue. Overall, was a new experience to try once but certainly will never book a class ever again.

It wasn’t one of the best food workshops I have attended. Working in groups of 4 on only one station is not appealing especially when you team random people. The food quantity was definitely not enough for 4 people and once we made the food we were told to put it aside and not eat because we were rushed onto the next dish. Finally, I did not feel the chef was accommodating or even trying to be. We asked to split our sauce into half with bacon and half without which would have been super easy to do simply bringing another pan which he claimed to not have while clearly behind us there was a wall full of pots and pans. Nice idea. Not as great of an execution. We won’t be back.

Not a good experience. I paid for 2 people. The staff only prepared for a serving of 1. One steak for two and we had to share peas, pasta, cheese, etc with another attendee from a different party. 3 people shared for a serving of one! The staff told me that we were supposed to share with another attendee. I told her no, I paid for two people, why are we sharing with different party with a serving of one?! The staff finally but reluctantly gave me my own steak and other food portions along with our own station. The staff didn’t offer any drinks nor water with our service. In addition, the service didn’t offer any chairs to sit down. We stood up for almost 3 hrs! I’m young but my mom is 60 and everyone else in attendance was also older. We had to ask for a chair when we got done cooking. Lastly the chef was also very high strung and you can tell she didn’t want to teach the class. My mom was visiting LA for the first time and it was supposed to be a fun experience. Two stars because the food did taste great and good quality. However I wouldn’t recommend this service. I’ve been to better for less. ?
