Booked the class Korean Kimchi Making and Bossam with Chef Polly in East Bay (Alameda)

We really enjoyed this class with Chef Polly. She made us feel welcome in her home and we learned different recipes that were flavorful and easy enough to prepare on our own. We've already prepared several of the recipes we learned in class at home and have recommended this class to friends. Definitely worth checking out!

What a treat to be welcomed into Chef Polly’s home to learn how to cook Korean food. Chef Polly has a way of familiarizing Korean food and making it feel more accessible. I’m looking forward to making these dishes on my own!

Booked the class Spice-Filled Indian Cuisine with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

Chef Raaje was so welcoming and a pleasure to have as an instructor. The class and recipe was very easy to follow even as a beginner. She is mindful of your spice tolerance and everything came out so delicious! I would definitely recommend her class to anyone who has an interest in learning how to cook Indian cuisine.

Chef Polly was so welcoming and made the entire experience unforgettable! She didn’t just teach us how to cook — she took us on a beautiful culinary and cultural journey through Korean history and flavors. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with fun stories that made everyone feel comfortable and connected. I loved how she encouraged us to interact, share, and truly enjoy the process. It felt more like cooking with a friend than being in a class. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves learning about food and culture!

Booked the class Biryani and South Indian Classics with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

From chopping and mixing to sautéing, frying, and tasting, my two teenage boys had an absolute blast—every step of the cooking class was filled with fun and laughter. Chef Rajeswari was incredibly warm and welcoming; it felt like we’d known her for years! This was truly one of the best family experiences I’ve had with my teens in a long time. And the highlight? Chicken 65—my absolute favorite! It is a MUST-try!

Chef Polly is super knowledgeable and brought some amazing recopies to the class. She was so easy to talk to and guided us throughout the whole day and even prepared a few special side dishes along the way as well. We very much enjoyed our time with her making delicious food, and the cooking space is so beautiful as well with great scenery. We can't wait to try another one of her classes in the near future (and bring our friends!)

Booked the class North Indian Favorites with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

I took the North Indian Favorites class and had a great experience. Chef happily accommodated a few menu modifications for my group and shared practical tips for making flavorful Indian food at home. This class is especially perfect for a group bonding experience. Many components were pre-prepared (such as the samosa filling and cooked chicken), which kept the class moving at a good pace. It made the experience approachable, especially since most of my group had little to no cooking experience. I especially enjoyed learning how to wrap samosas. She also added thoughtful touches, including a personalized welcome sign and a sweet surprise since we were celebrating. One thing I wish had been communicated beforehand was that the class was shared. I had assumed my booking was private for my group of four, so I was surprised when I saw another attendee in class. Chef was friendly, professional, and communicative throughout the booking process. Overall, I'd recommend this class to anyone interested in learning to cook North Indian dishes.

Booked the class Biryani and South Indian Classics with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

Chef Rajeswari was truly a delight. I can not stress how easy and personable the class was. From the moment we came in, Chef greeted us with a smile and took care of taking the time of not only explaining what we would be cooking, but also a bit about her self, her background and asked about us as well. She would make sure to constantly check on how we were doing while cooking, and would give us tips on what could be done if we wanted to make the food on our own time. Genuinely, can not express how much I recommend this class, it was a privilege learning how to cook from her.

Chef Polly was amazing! Not only was the food delicious but she was so warm, inviting, and informative. This is my third time doing a Cozymeal cooking class and my evening with Chef Polly was by far my favorite. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the experience and how tasty the meal was. 10000/10. Would highly highly recommend this class (or any class) that Chef Polly offers.

Mary L. December, 2025

Booked the class Authentic South Indian Brunch with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

Chef Rajeswari is very proud of her culture and this experience included her sharing a LOT about Indian food. We chose the South Indian Brunch class for a date night. 1) We were greeted with a wonderful chai which made us feel warmly welcomed. 2) We LOVED the coconut chutney--Chef showed us the ways to add spice and bloom peanut oil to give it more dimensions. 3) Our favorite dish was the dosa and we cannot wait to try it with various options as a snack. All in all we recommend Chef Raje! This was a great date night and I could see it being a great mom-child experience or a mom's night out. Thanks!

Booked the class Biryani and South Indian Classics with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

This was an extraordinary class! Chef Rajeswari is impeccably organized, and everything was perfectly measured and arranged for us to use. Especially since this is a new class, I was amazed at how smoothly everything flowed - Disney could take notes from her on how to handle cleaning and transitions! We chopped the vegetables, chopped fresh herbs from her garden, and cooked/assembled all 4 dishes. I really appreciate how while we were assembling, she explained all the sorts of techniques and varieties in this style of cooking. For example, in our session I learned how to prepare the ginger garlic paste at home, the different varieties of Indian rice besides basmati, what sorts of oils work best for frying Chicken 65, and the delightful story of its name! Most important, of course, is the listed dishes themselves - and those were phenomenal. For the Chicken 65 we prepared the marinade and fried the chicken, along with the delightful touch of fresh curry leaves at the end. I've never made biryani before - that is why I took the class - and the biryani that we made was more delicious that what I've had at restaurants. The raita and lassi were simple and very good - and I learned, for example, that I can add milk (and even ice cream) to my lassi to make it a bit smoother. After taking this class, I feel that I can make these on my own. When we sat down to dinner, there was a ton of food that we'd cooked and it all smelled and tasted delicious. Chef Rajeswari also brought out a few items which were not on the menu that she'd prepared beforehand, and they were - of course - fantastic. Chef Rajewsari (and her husband) is kind, charming, welcoming, and an absolute delight to learn from. Her recipes are delicious, and she is just really fun to be with! I will be trying out the printed recipes on my own in a few days, and I fully intend to take more of her classes in the future.

My partner and I had a blast at Chef Pooja's Asian Fusion Feast cooking class. We were warmly welcomed into her spacious and cozy kitchen, where we got hands-on experience whipping up a feast. We left the class properly stuffed and inspired to whip up the delicious recipes at home. Thanks for the fantastic experience, Chef!

Booked the class Rolls, Sashimi and Nigiri with Chef Edison in East Bay (Concord)

Chef Edison was a great host! The class was held in his home, where he made us feel comfortable and welcome. There was a wide variety of seafood and toppings that we were able to choose from to create our own unique rolls. Chef Edison taught us several different styles of sushi and let us get after it with a blow torch too! My boyfriend and I had a great time and are going to use what we learned to make sushi tonight.

Chef Sara was awesome and the experience overall was amazing! How cool to have a private chef come to your home and teach just you and your friends!! I mean, the whole idea of this service is absolutely incredible and I can't believe I never knew it existed before now! We felt like chef Sara was very fun and knowledgeable, and extremely savvy in the kitchen! We felt like real stars learning from her and we can't wait to find another excuse to do this again! Thank you Chef Sara!!! We appreciate you!!!! ??

Booked the class Sushi Rolls with Chef Edison in East Bay (Concord)

5 Stars is not enough, Chef Edison deserves 10 star! His home is extremely welcoming, his instruction is great, and the sushi was spectacular. We were a group of 6 and had the greatest time.

Don't forget to bring some beer and sake!

Chef Edison is great. Loved the class, and you will too. Just know, if you think you're done eating after making the rolls, you're wrong! I filled up a lot on those, and there was still maki, nigiri and hand rolls to make and eat! There was so much fish, I didn't know how to process it. Thanks Chef!

Booked the class Miso Ramen with Chef Kaori in East Bay (San Leandro)

Chef Karoi was a wonderful teacher at tonight's ramen class! We learned all about how to make the noodles and the process she went through to create the broth. Between the ramen and gyoza, we were stuffed by the end. We will definitely be taking what we learned and recreating the process at home in the future. So if you are interested in what it takes to make flavorful broth and delicious noodles, definitely check out this class. You won't be disappointed.

Booked the class Donabe: Japanese One Pot Wonder with Chef Evan in East Bay (Downtown Oakland)

My husband, Dan, and I found this Donabe cooking class to be incredible. Chef Evan taught us how to slowly meld the ingredients together patiently to achieve a wonderful blend of flavors. Without using exact measurements, we learned to taste frequently to get the perfect end product. Leftovers that we took home were marvelous the next day. We already gave him a tip to show our appreciation.

Manuel A. January, 2018

Booked the class Miso Ramen with Chef Kaori in East Bay (San Leandro)

My husband and I had a great time in Kaoris class learning to make ramen and gyoza. The pace of the class was good and the setting was very casual, felt like good old home cooking in the kitchen. We had a nice big bowl of ramen to eat in the end and got to snack on some yummy pork gyoza in between. Kaori was patient and friendly and open to answering questions as we moved along. Would definitely be interested in trying another class in the future with her.

Thomas T. April, 2017

Booked the class Crash Course in Curry with Chef Sara

I thought it was fun. We weren't sure how it would turn out. The Chef definitely knows her stuff and is a professional. If I had one criticism it is that the kitchen is pretty dated Which impacts the overall experience. Doesn't take anything away from learning to cook, but if you have a modern kitchen at home, it may remind you of your 70s remodel project. That said, the Chef is personable, funny, and gives a lot of practical tips even to experienced home cooks.
