WHAT YOU’LL DO
Learn to make caprese, busiate alla Trapanese and garlic Alfredo gnocchi – plus a classic cassata.
Dive into the vibrant traditions of Sicilian pasta in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Willow. From a fresh caprese to two distinct pasta dishes and a classic Sicilian dessert, this session moves through the island's bold, sun-drenched flavors with technique at every step.
You'll start by assembling a fresh insalata caprese before making pillowy gnocchi tossed in a creamy garlic Alfredo. Next, you'll prepare busiate alla Trapanese – twisted pasta with a raw almond and tomato pesto, basil and Pecorino. The class closes with cassata, a Sicilian sponge cake layered with sweet ricotta, chocolate chips and marzipan. Book this pasta class today.

Sushi Night: Four Signature Rolls
with Chef Willow
in South Bay Los Angeles (Downtown Core)
We had an amazing time with Chef Willow. We went from all having zero skills to making what felt like perfect sushi from a restaurant.
Really impressed by the class and feeling way more confident to try on my own now.
Highly recommend taking a class and getting to enjoy your own creation.
Chef is very friendly and very knowledgeable. She made sure we were all feeling very comfortable in a new environment.

The Art of Grilled Pizza
with Chef Willow
in South Bay Los Angeles (Downtown Core)
Never had the class. Poor communication with Cozy Meal. Never received information regarding chef's information. We arrived early and could not get into the building. Once a resident came out we entered the lobby, but there was no information regarding this class. We tried to call Cozy Meal's customer service and got an answer machine. Very disappointing as this was a birthday gift.
