Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
Our team did Marta’s Italian cooking lesson as an offsite and it was a huge hit. Marta made everyone feel welcome, from beginners to foodies. Great instruction, lots of laughs, and amazing food. Perfect mix of skill-building + bonding. Highly recommend for any team looking for a unique activity. Thanks Marta for hosting us!

Great! Exceeded my expectations. Chef Marty provides a charismatic experience that helps you understand not only how to cook like a chef, but I would argue, she teaches you how to think like a chef, paying attention to so many details I would normally overlook. Her approach is holistic, paying attention to timing, color, texture, aroma, even ambient humidity! And so much more that I learned last night, I can't list them all here. So many things go into what you see on the plate, and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher to help me appreciate the art of cooking. High recommendations from Zen. Thanks again Marty. I'll have to bust out my fresh pasta making skills for friends and family one of these days.

We had such an amazing experience with Marty! She is not only so knowledgeable but also so accommodating. My girlfriend and I learned so much about the history of Italy and how to prepare and cook their amazing food. We could not recommend Marty enough!

Great cooking class and experience. It was good to hear the history that Chef Marty shared about Italy and also her herb garden. Everything was really well planned out and it was great meeting new people and sharing dinner with them as well. Also there is absolutely no issue with the porta potty, super clean and Chef Marty even offer us her personal bathroom if we wanted.

Chef Marty provided a truly authentic experience. It was so wonderful to learn how to make a delicious meal, while learning about Italy, and experience fresh and organic herbs from her garden too!

We had such a great time! Chef Jordan was amazing. He was so patient and engaged everyone. He answered all our questions and was very skilled at herding the cats and keeping us on track, all while teaching us how to make delicious food. I highly recommend Chef Jordan and Cozymeal for your next event with a team or friends.

5 stars is not enough stars to accurately review our experience with Chef Marty. I bought a CozyMeal gift card for my mom's Christmas gift. We did Marty's Pasta Fresca course where we made Bruschetta, Pappardelle pasta, and Tiramisu. We learned and laughed the whole 3 hours. The next morning, my mom said it was the most memorable gift she's ever been given. Marty was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly made you feel at home. I cannot wait to book another experience with her. Thank you Chef Marty! XOXO

Chef Marty completely exceeded any expectations we had. We had such a great time learning and cooking with her in her lovely home. We enjoyed an evening of culinary education, delicious food and great company. We will definitely be cooking in the future with Chef Marty and will recommend her class to everyone. Best birthday gift ever!
Booked the event The Essence of French Cooking with Chef Jordan W. in La Jolla
Thank you Chef Jordan and company for the fun night! We greatly appreciate your patience with our rowdy group..... valuable knife skills were learned and we were able to participate in creating a wonderful meal from the most fresh and amazing ingredients. Chef Jordan has a laid back approach that made us feel comfortable and not intimidated to try something new. We had so much fun! Thanks again!

We had an outstanding experience with Chef Marty. The food was great, but the company was even better. We talked about cooking and Italian history for hours. We would book with her again in a heartbeat. Highest recommendation.

We had a great time with Chef Marty! In addition to cooking an excellent meal, we learned about her family's history in Toscana. She is the best host and makes you feel like family. We cannot wait to make pasta fresca at home!

Chef Marty was wonderful and I would highly recommend this cooking class! I went for a girlfriend's bachelorette party and it was the highlight of our weekend. She was friendly, enthusiastic, and fun! Additionally, she was so accommodating to our dietary restrictions. One of our guests was vegan and while we all participated in the normal menu, she created a special vegan experience for our friend. I would definitely take another cooking class with Chef Marty!

We had such a fun time with Marty! She welcomed us into our beautiful kitchen and garden, where we picked fresh basil and sage to prepare our meal. Not only did we get a true hands-on experience from start to finish, but we learned a lot of general tips for cooking and visiting Italy. The meal was delicious, and I feel equipped to prepare it again at home. This was a great way for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary. We would take another class with Marty in a heartbeat!

It was a wonderful class to learn how to make pasta but to learn about tucsanian food culture!
Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
Chef Marty was a very good teacher. She exceeded our expectation and I now know how to make pasta. I was given a pasta machine for my birthday but struggled with it. I think I will regift the machine (lol?) and use Chefs technique of hand made pasta. Chef Marty treated us like family and I would definitely take another class from her. Thanks Chef Marty for a great class, dinner and personal service.

Absolutely fabulous!!!! It was THE most wonderful experience. Not only was the process of food making enjoyable, it was definitely a learning and cultural experience into the Italian kitchen. Marty was an amazing teacher and all around a lovely Italian woman. We will be attending her classes again!
Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
Chef Marty and her assistant Anna exceeded our expectations! My husband and I hosted the pasta making class at our house with 8 of our friends. We weren't sure what to expect but chef Marty gave us all the info we needed to host this fun and entertaining night. Everyone enjoyed that it was educational, the right amount of "hands on" participation, as well as Chef Marty's sense of humor. All in all, it was great food, great wine and great company! We enjoyed having it at our house but you may consider having the event at Chef Marty's if you don't have a good kitchen setup for it. I would definitely take another class with Chef Marty in the future.

Chef Marty is such a warm, inviting person - like the Tucson Mama you never had! She welcomes you right into her kitchen as if you were one of her own. In between her stories of living in Italy and her various travels, and her exclamations/phrases/responses spoken beautifully in Italian, she gives you the best instruction on how to prepare authentic Italian dishes. She doesn't hold anything back, either; if she can talk you through another recipe similar to what you're making, you have but to ask and she'll tell all. In addition, she's not afraid to walk you into her organic garden, where she generously cut us some herbs to take home (rosemary, oregano, and sage). She shared her homegrown tangelos, her homemade Limoncello, and the secret to her infamous tiramisu, too! Hand-making pasta for the first time was an absolute adventure and so exciting to learn! It was DELICIOUS too! She had forgotten to pick up tomatoes the day before, so we couldn't prepare the Bruscetta that was on the menu... but, that was no big loss, as she was able to think on her feet and teach us a recipe for pesto instead. Even better, in my humble opinion! Add it to the menu, Chef Marty! :-) If you don't book her, it'll be your loss - she's a welcome dose of Italian hospitality, Tucson flavor, and Mama-like warmth. 100% worth it! We'll be back, Marty!

Marty was lovely! The class was not only fun and relaxed but very educational. This was our first time making fresh pasta by hand and we loved that we each got to make our own batch of pasta (and even bring some extra home with us!). Chef Marty is a wonderful teacher and made the experience feel very warm and homey. We would definitely recommend her class!

Chef Marty is a serious Tuscan chef. She is the tuscan grandmother you always wanted to teach you how to cook and now you have her! She learned from her grandmother before her and it is such an intuitive cooking process. She can make pasta without a machine, and that is really impressive.

We cooked paella, and we had a great time! The space is small for 10 people, I think the kitchen is big enough for max 8 people

We made pasta Fresca, bruschetta, and tiramisu with chef Marty and she was an amazing teacher. Her knowledge of Italian cuisine as well as the shared knowledge of Italian history made the class worth it. We had a great time. I would recommend this class to anyone for any occasion.

Phenomenal class! Chef Marty and chef David were amazing instructors and shared so much knowledgable about cooking, and Italian history and culture. The class is really intimate and hands on, with only max. 8 people - we had an absolute blast. Would highly recommend!

Booked the event Handmade Thai Fare with Chef Jordan W. in Julian
We had an AMAZING experience with Chef Jordan! Our family of four met at his home and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Our menu conisisted of Lettuce Wrapped Portobello Quinoa Sliders topped with chipotle aioli and avocado, Blackened Pineapple Cajun Chicken and Peach Mango Cherry Cobbler. Cooking together as a family was such a fun and memorable experience, and every dish we made was both delicious and healthy. My husband and son were a bit hesitant about some of the vegetarian quinoa slider dishes at first, but the quinoa burgers completely won them over—they’re still talking about how good they were! Chef Jordan is an incredible teacher: warm, patient, engaging, and so knowledgeable. He made everything easy to follow and genuinely fun. Cooking in his home felt very special, and Chef Jordan went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. We would highly recommend him to anyone booking a cooking class through Cozymeal. Five stars all the way!

Marty was great. We met in her home and she taught us how to prepare a totally gluten free meal which was delicious. It was a special experience designed for our 13 year old grandson who loves to cook. She showed him important techniques and the use of special tools.

Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
Chef Marty was very kind and welcoming and overall it was a very fun class and a nice evening out. However, I felt it was a bit overpriced for the type of dishes we made (since it was entirely vegetarian and they were relatively simple). Additionally, the quality of the ingredients was a little mediocre given the price of the class.

I had such an amazing night with Marty and the other guests. It felt so fun and natural as if I were with family. Marty is incredibly knowledgable and welcoming. Couldn't think of a better way to spend a Saturday night. It warmed my soul. Thanks Marty <3

Booked Marty's pasta making class for a date night. Had a wonderful evening. Marty not only took us through the steps to make a delicious Italian meal from scratch but also talked about Italy and the history of the country and food in different regions. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Marty.

Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
Chef Marty was an excellent chef and an even better host! We learned easy, and practical recipes that she grew up eating in Tuscany. She was extremely knowledgeable in cooking technique without being too technical for us to understand. Aside from learning more about Italian history and culture, our favorite part was learning about her wonderful and colorful life growing up there. Thank you, Marty, for inviting us into your beautiful home! It was a pleasant first-time cooking class experience!!
