Simple Sushi Making
with Chef Scot
in Cincinnati
I was lucky enough to attend two classes recently, both taught by Kate.
First, we went with some friends to a sushi making class. Then last week I went with a different friend to learn to make stuffed pasta.
I thoroughly enjoyed both experiences and feel like I learned a lot and will be able to put those things into practice.
I've already used one of the recipes I came home with for a winter squash salad that's delicious.

Italian Romantic Evening - Date Night
with Chef Scot
in Cincinnati
The experience was marketed as 'romantic Italian evening', and while the cooking experience was okay, the experience wasn't very romantic. Our chef was fine- she was obviously knowledgeable, and taught us skills and tricks we didn't know before- but she was a bit brash and had a personality that we weren't expecting for our evening. It definitely wasn't 'romantic', and looking back if we wanted something more intimate we should have gone with a private chef, or a different location. There was another couple for our class, which we weren't expecting. They were lovely, and good cooking mates, but I expected to have the experience just for us, so having another couple there was surprising. The food was okay- our salad was delicious and we will make again. The scampi was just okay- but it was nice to make the pasta from scratch and see how easy it really is to do. The desert was simply a fancy-named apple pie. Overall everything we just fine. We'll probably try again, but we're not racing out to book another experience.

Discover Handmade Italian Pasta
with Chef Scot
in Cincinnati
This was definitely an unexpected experience all around. About 5 minutes after the class was scheduled to start, all ~16 students were standing outside the room waiting to go in. The chef finally came out with a roster and she actually yelled at people to “hurry up” and get inside. The class continued with some of of that same chaotic energy and a few “unprofessional” comments (“the pans are ribbed for her pleasure”) given the crowd (father/son). The food was tasty, but nothing incredible. My partner and I both felt like we didn’t learn anything new, but enjoyed our time there.

Steak Dinner For Two - Date Night
with Chef Scot
in Cincinnati
The experience was not at all what was described on Cozymeal's website.
Overall
Maybe this was my own misunderstanding but Cozymeal lists the experience we booked as Steak Dinner for Two. I expected a fun date night with my wife where we cook something new together, drink some wine, and then enjoy a nice meal.
In reality, it's just a cooking class where we cooked and ate I'm groups of 4. The other couple at our table was great, but I wasn't expecting to double-date with strangers.
Menu
I picked this experience in particular because my wife LOVES steak frites. Cozymeal said we would be making steak, fries with a garlic aioli, and a chocolate lava cake. The only accurate part of that description was the steak. It tasted ok, but only after sitting through a 10 minute sales pitch for the Sous Vide system the chef used. The rest of the menu was good (pear and arugula salad, baked potato, and chocolate mousse) but completely different than promised.
Drinks
Water was the only beverage provided. If we wanted coffee, we had to go into the store and get a sample from one of the espresso machines they were selling.
Summary
If you want a cooking class, book directly through Their website is more accurate.
If you want a fun date night activity with some quality time with your significant other, use a different service.

The other couple in our class was lovely, but the chef seemed confused about the dish and we didn’t actually cook anything beyond searing some shrimp.

Exploring Handmade Sushi
with Chef Scot
in Cincinnati
Disappointed to say the least. The entire class felt like I was being rushed which made no sense as we got done over 30 minutes in advance. Everytime I turned around someone was standing there waiting to take items off my bench. We were also told that we could eat the remaining ingredients if we didn’t use them all in the rolls but those all got taken away as well. Why add sushi rice to the menu if we aren’t even going to able to enjoy it? This class was not as it was advertised.
