Had a great time with Chef James! He taught us about paella, and we were able to help. He lived in Spain, and he showed a lot of love and enthusiasm for the cuisine and culture. Would definitely book again!

James was very knowledgeable of Spain and their cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at James' warm and welcoming household. Paella is a very hands off dish however James was able to incorporate some volunteers into the cooking experience. He had fantastic Spanish appetizers, sides, and desserts to compliment the Paella. Strongly recommend bringing a bottle of wine to share with the fellow aspiring chefs. Thank you James!

Chef James did an amazing job. The class was very informative and the food was delicious - I can't wait to try out the recipes on my own. The environment was very friendly and not intimidating at all. The class was pretty casual so it made for a fun and relaxing evening. I would recommend this class with Chef James'

Our Italian dinner with chef James was just amazing. His beautiful Victorian home was the perfect setting for a cozy dinner. At first we snacked on some delicious appetizers while chatting about food and travels. And getting ready to make PASTA! Chef James introduced me to Padron Peppers which I have been making since then at least twice a week. They are in season now! Thanks chef James. Everyone was able to give the pasta dough a knead and roll some. We had the pasta with yummy Bolognese, followed by a delicious main course of slow-cooked beef with corn and peppers. Dessert: Light cheese cake. This diner was a great experience and can only recommend it for locals and new-to-the city people top meet new friends! Cheers!

A great class! Chef James is patient and very knowledgeable about Spanish cuisine. It was great to see the paella being put together from start to finish, and well worth the wait -- it was delicious. The flavors were rich and nuanced and the soccarat was perfect. And the Quesada was a great finish -- sweet and satiating but light and refreshing. Thanks, Chef James!

One of the best Spanish Paella cooking classes I have had so far! We chose to make seafood Paella and chef James did a good job explaining how to make the dish. It tasted great and the whole process was really fun!

Booked the class A Night in Spain with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

I am kinda disappointed after attending this class. I would say this was actually not a class, it was more like a social or eating event to be exact. We were not provided any hands on experience at all during the whole class. No receipes were given during the class. We were just standing in the kitchen and watching James cooked for about an hour. He gave little details on how he cooked the Paella. Most often times, people asked him why this and why that, then he answered. Seems like he is very passive in a way of teaching but he cooked a really yummy Paella. If I knew the class will be like that, I would not have signed up this class. We can just watch YouTube online. Maybe this is not the class that I expected. I expected a more hands on practice. And I expected the chef/teacher will explain more details to enchance our cooking knowledge and of course on how to properly cook a Paella. I wonder if all the classes at CozyMeals are like that. I would like to sign up for other classes but this class makes me think twice before I sign up the next one. One thing I found funny is liek I received an email asking me to tip the chef. Is it a restaurant? Or a class? Felt like it's more like a restaurant to me if I am being asked for a tip. If you are looking for a real cooking class, it's not a place. If you want to eat yummy Paella and spent few hours together with your significant half, that's the place.

The Night in Spain personal chef experience was absolutely everything I hoped for and more it honestly exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, it felt like such a thoughtful, elevated, and immersive evening. The chef was phenomenal not only with the food (which was beyond delicious and beautifully presented) but also with the way they shared the story and flavors of each dish. It really felt like being transported straight to Spain without ever leaving home. Every detail was executed so well, and it made the entire experience truly memorable. It was one of those rare evenings where everything aligned perfectly the atmosphere, the pacing, the food, and the personal touch from the chef. I can honestly say it was one of the most amazing dining experiences I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future and recommending Cozymeal to friends and family. Thank you again for helping make such an unforgettable evening possible!

Chef Daniel was FANTASTIC! We were a large group (15) and he did so well managing our food stations, teaching and was fun to interact with. He let us modify the menu slightly and fed us well! We all left full and with a positive experience! Thank you, Chef!

Chef James! My parents had the most wonderful time taking your class. Today they made my sister and I the paella you taught them to make yesterday! It was so delicious. They posted pictures of their experience on their social media accounts and now all their friends want the details about how they can take a similar class.

Chef James is very professional and personable. He prepares a meal that is simple, tasty, but also sophisticated and gives guests the opportunity to learn something new.

Our office spent a fantastic afternoon with Chef James at his beautiful home in the Haight, watching him create a perfect seafood paella while sipping on wine and munching on appetizers. It was the perfect way to celebrate our agency's 30th anniversary. Highly recommend Chef James.

Absolutely wonderful! Chef James was the perfect host and chef, he went above and beyond to make sure we have the most wonderful experience ever! This was the best team building event I have ever attended.

Booked the event Cooking and Conversation Over Spanish Fare with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

From Mr. Timen - leader of the group that attended the experience "James was incredibly knowledgeable about Spanish cuisine, the dining scene in SF, and just the overall kitchen stuff. We walked away not only knowing how to make a mean paella, but also where to get the freshest seafood, what's in season when, best stovetops and equipment for aspiring culinarians, and how to watch out for 'knock-off' saffron. James' expertise was only eclipsed by his "mi casa es su casa" hospitality: the cheese plate awaiting us on arrival was exquisite and the guitar music remarkably on-point. A number of us have already started to architect plans that would bring us back to this homey dining room in the Haight-Ashbury."

Chef James was a very welcoming, hospitable presence. A beautiful home, and clearly very passionate about spanish-style cooking. The meal was delicious, and all in all it was a very relaxing experience. It would've been nice to have a slightly more interactive experience, but given the dish he made (seafood paella), I don't know if it was possible here.

Chef James was extremely friendly, kind and talented in the kitchen. He had an amazing environment for a cooking and dinner experience. Our friends had a total blast and memorable experience. I highly recommend Chef James for group gatherings or corporate events. One of the best nights out!
