Chef Maggie is incredible! She had me laughing the whole time. I walked in feeling very intimidated by macarons, but Chef demonstrated and gave cues that made everything so straightforward and doable. Our macarons turned out delicious, even if they weren’t the prettiest to look at (but hey, my piping skills are a work in progress, y’know). I hope to take more classes with Maggie in the future. Thanks for a great night, Maggie!

Maggie was laid back, fun, and easy to work with. The food ended up great and it was cool getting to cook in a real restaurant kitchen! I want to go again!

As someone who went solo, it was not fun. I recommend only doing this if you have a partner to go with. The result was delicious though!

This class was so much fun. My cooking expertise consists of pushing the right button on the microwave. I came away with a new appreciation of the science and joy of cooking. Maybe there is hope for me.

Chef Frodo was a joy to cook with! When she speaks about food you can tell she's passionate and loves her craft! A great listener, encourages you to try new things, and she likes LoTR. There was no way this was not going to be an enjoyable evening. Thanks Chef!

the momo class was great, Chef Maggie was prepared and walked us through creating the momo dough, the fillings, many different ways of folding the momo and cooking them. We took home the extra fillings and made momos at home later in the week. I fully recommend this class and based on other reviews, all of Chef maggie's classes

Chef Maggie made everyone feel welcomed. The “friendsgiving” meal was delicious and fun to make. This experience has inspired me to want to cook more. Will definitely come back to try other classes.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Chef Tyler (Maggie's fiance). He was very engaging while making sure we not only learned the how but also the why of preparing our gourmet dinner. We look forward to more classes with this power couple!

We were in for a work a trip and wanted to have something fun to do together so we chose this cooking class. Chef Tyler was great and was so perfect for our personalities. Chef Maggie is the one who coordinated everything for us and she was so accommodating to the food allergies we had and gave me recommendations for wine and beer pairings for what we ate. Chef Tyler was incredibly kind and genuine. He truly was a fantastic teacher and he answered ALL of the questions we had (which were a lot!). We absolutely had the best time and even our team member who is Italian said she learned things! HIGHLY recommend. Also, we loved that we used a kitchen that had such a great story and we were able to play a role in giving back to the community by using it.

I took my team here for a team building / Holiday party. It was a fantastic evening, with lots of cheer and fun. The chef was accommodating to all our dietary needs and very flexible ensuring everyone was well taken care of. We had the Spanish tapas and paella meal and were allowed to BYOB. A suggestion would be to re introduce shrimp in the paella instead of the chicken. Would recommend Chef Maggie for a unique culinary experience with your group.

Maggie was awesome - authentic, funny, smart, and provided extremely practical approaches to cooking and backing that made even the non-cooks in our group feel comfortable. We booked the Friends' Friendsgiving cooking class for my (adult) niece's birthday, and it was exactly what I was hoping for - unique, participatory, very fun, and extremely yummy!

Wow—what a fun way to break up our routine! Chef Maggie and Tyler were amazing to work with. We did the event with 4 people total as a double-date idea and we all left saying how much fun we had. We were so shocked with how great the food came out with the tips and tricks from the chefs. We want to do another soon—thanks so much for everything, Maggie and Tyler!

We were unfortunately not able to do our class because of issues in the building where it was to be held, but Maggie was wonderful for the whole experience of trying to make it work regardless. I can only imagine what she is like as a teacher. If you want to take a class, this woman is amazing. Do it. Don't hesitate. Do it.

We had such a great time with Maggie! She's easy to get along with, is great at teaching, offered us a bunch of tips/shortcuts for making sushi or cooking in general. She made the experience a lot of fun. Also, we got to take home a boatload of leftovers which was awesome!

Chef Maggie was FANTASTIC! Can’t say enough fond things about her. She was a great instructor, upbeat, friendly, and creative. What more could we have asked for as we learned to prepare paella! Things have been a little busy on this end. I posted a few pics, but have more to post along with a review. This was a wonderful date night for us.

Cooking is not for everybody. If you love it but has nobody to turn to Cozymeal can help with that. A romantic night for two? You want to impress a date with your cooking skills maybe but you need a more polished approach to her/his favorite dish? A professional chef with Cozymeal will be provided. I was invited to Cozymeal's Influencer night in downtown Denver. What a night! First off an apron will be provided to you to put you in that "chef " mood. Everything else too. All you have to do is show up! The class was hosted by Chef Maggie who's professionalism I admire a lot. She's patient and can cook a mean paella. Our location for this event was at the Denver Press Club. It was a lot of fun mixing, prepping, cooking and finally eating the finished product of what we really, actually cooked. Chef Maggie shared with us a few tricks and tips on how to slice and dice away faster but safer eliminating the potential for a bloody kitchen. Cozymeal is a great addition to Denver's burgeoning "things to do." Interested? Do this: go online and fill out all the Info required to start an account. What we cooked we ate and took some leftovers home. For $45/person you just might spend an unforgettable time in the kitchen guided by a professional chef!

I'll get right to it, I love to eat and love to watch people cook. Cozymeal offers both and even pulls you into the mix of cooking. The class is setup at different locations and ours was in back kitchen of a radio club. Chef Maggie was our host and she was wonderful, a patient chef and encourages experimenting with recipes. Janet and I were tasked with an appetizer, dates stuffed with Marcona almonds and wrapped in thick bacon. It turned out quite tasty, just saying. We made several dishes as a group of five and the chef. She taught me a few tricks and explained why she does things with preparation and cooking. The class cuisine was traditional tapas and the grand veggie chicken paella. We also made Valencian Paella with bomba rice, saffron, aioli and chicken, and Mushroom Croquettes. She also through a traditional potato and egg tortilla, and I was the chosen one to flip it, which was successful. Everything turned out really tasty. Chef Maggie also took the time to discuss our experiences and changes we might have made to our recipes or cooking techniques. The class also shows that you can make a great meal in any kitchen, even an outdated industrial one. Overall a great experience, and I look forward to another class.

I had a wonderful experience with Chef Maggie at last night's Paella class! She was very knowledgeable of the cooking techniques as well as the history of Spain. It was a very informative session not to mention all the delicious food we ate at the end! I enjoyed the relaxed learning environment, detailed instructions on preparing each dish and the small group. All in all, it was a great class! Thank you!

We just used Mezcla Maggie to cater a family wedding way out in the mountains. Not only was she on time and well prepared, but she was able to improvise as needed. The Mexican food was simple but delicious, well done in every respect. A pleasant experience and lovely person to work with.

We had a themed party and Maggie Kates came thru with a creative spread to match the fun and funky theme for the event. Setup and cleanup was a breeze and the food was a hit. Folks were drawn in by the amazingly cool hamburger cookies, but were absolutely wowed by the pumpkin hummus shooters with candied sage. We can't wait to have Maggie back for our next big party.

Maggie provided excellent, professional service for our Holiday department lunch. She showed up early to set up and was vey accommodating. Everyone raved about the food. We had a tight budget to work with and Maggie was my pick after speaking with 4 other caterers. I highly recommend Mezcla Maggie's Catering and will definitely use her again. I have also passed along her contact info/services to other departments in our company.
