Booked the class Vegan Spanish Feast with Chef Jamie VK in Brooklyn (Park Slope)

Review of Cooking Class at Chef Jaime’s Home We had the great pleasure of attending a cooking class in Chef Jaime's clean, cozy, and welcoming apartment, which featured a large kitchen and a beautiful center island with granite countertops—perfect for group cooking. We prepared vegan empanadas, guacamole, and a delicious veggies stew, sauces, etc. all under Chef Jaime's expert guidance and supervision. Chef Jaime’s enthusiasm and energy truly set the tone for a fantastic experience. She was incredibly organized, managing the class smoothly and keeping us on track without ever making it feel rushed. What really stood out was her ability to engage with participants of all experience levels, from beginners to more seasoned cooks, making sure everyone felt included and valued. Her positive, supportive attitude created an environment that was not only instructive but also fun and encouraging. It was clear that she’s passionate about her craft and genuinely cares about ensuring her students have a memorable experience. If you're looking for a cooking class that balances learning with a warm, community feel, I highly recommend Chef Jaime’s class. Buon appetito. Ghania and Mark

Booked the class Vegan and Gluten Free Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)

I attended Chef Mukti's class with my partner, Andrew, and cooking with her was an incredible experience! It was our first cooking class ever, and Mukti taught us how to make *five* amazing vegan Indian dishes from scratch. Mukti not only walked us through each cooking step, but she also taught us some really helpful tips and tricks about cooking in general, including how to handle cookware properly and how to incorporate different kinds of spices — and the benefits of them as well. To top it all off, the food itself is to-die-for. Mukti's cooking class is definitely worth it and we both highly recommend it to anyone.

Highly recommend! I scheduled a gluten free and vegan Indian cooking class with Chef Mukti for my girlfriend's birthday. My girlfriend is gluten free and dairy free. Chef Mukti had to reschedule our class for a different day with a different menu that wasn't necessarily gluten or dairy free. Chef Mukti made sure to have options for my girlfriend so that she didn't miss out on anything. The food was unbelievably delicious. Mukti was extremely informative during the entire cooking process. We were with a family of seven that we didn't know. Mukti made the atmosphere comfortable and we had a blast. She also made sure everyone was involved constantly. It was so much fun and the food was so good. We don't live in NYC but if we did I'm sure we'd do another cooking class with the chef. I never leave reviews for anything online but I felt like I needed to for this. Great experience, and after the dinner Mukti sends you an incredibly detailed recipe of everything so you can cook it again.

Chef Mukti ran a wonderful and engaging class which was really effective in giving familiarity with ingredients and fundamental techniques. You will definitely learn by doing and it is hard to imagine a better cooking class experience.

What a great night! My husband gifted me this cooking class for my birthday and what a treat! I didn’t know what to expect going into this class, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The class was personal, comfortable, and fun. I loved the homemade approach and the fact that we were hands on. I learned so many new cooking tips and techniques. The food was amazing. And our teacher was excellent. I will be back for more classes. This is a great gift for someone or something fun to do if you want a change of pace.

My sister, cousins, and I had such a great time at this cooking experience. Chef Jamie was not only super chill and funny but also made everything feel approachable and fun. The food turned out incredible, especially the pisto with bread and the sweet potato and bean filling for the empanadas, honestly, I’d eat that filling on its own. We came in thinking we might leave a little hungry, but we were so full by the end basically fighting to keep eating. The kitchen space was perfect for a group, with plenty of room for everyone to get hands-on. We all were able to chop, stir, pour, season, and Chef was super open to all our questions. We learned a lot about reducing food waste, proper knife techniques, and storing produce, plus got to hear about Chef’s path to becoming a private chef. Also, random but worth mentioning, the whole place had a super peaceful vibe (shoes off at the door), and the bathroom? Gorgeous. Skylight and all. Highly recommend this experience!

Booked the class Italian Classics Made Vegan with Chef Paul in Manhattan (SoHo)

My mom and I had an amazing time with Chef Paul in his Vegan Italian cooking class! He was very descriptive, informative, and knowledgeable. Each of us in the class had a task so we were all hands on and learned a ton. The food we made was delicious and I can't wait to use these recipes at home. I would absolutely recommend Chef Paul and his class and will be booking again.

My wife and I had a great time with Chef Paul in the Italian classics, made vegan class. The recipes were simple ingredients that made delicious meals. Chef was very willing to share his knowledge, and we both learned much more than expected. The school itself was great as well, beautiful brick walls, nice decor in the dining area and just enough room for all of us to work in the kitchen.

We had an amazing night cooking our vegan meal with Chef Denis for my husband's birthday! He was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions and even asked about alternative dessert options for us. We ended up making a delicious matcha cake that we garnished with his homemade rose petal jam. Chef Denis helped us make our leftover food into a tasty salad. We can't wait to book another class with him in the future.

Isabelle C. January, 2023

Booked the class Essential Vegan Sushi with Chef Denis in Queens (Long Island City)

From me: Chef Denis was great! He was very knowledgeable and patient (I literally didn't even know how to hold a knife). He was also just interesting to chat with! My boyfriend, Greg, and I had a great time taking his class! Everything was delicious! He was great at giving instructions and brought any cooking tools I might've not had in my kitchen. I think the only feedback I'd give is having more options for vegan recipes on the Cozymeal menu overall! I'd totally love to do another class in the future, as one of the most difficult parts of going vegan/vegetarian is cooking things from scratch as opposed to heating up the overpriced/over-processed meat substitutes ? From my boyfriend who took the class with me: Hey yeah absolutely seconding everything Isa said. Denis was a great instructor and a joy to cook with. He walked us through the recipes at our pace, demonstrated all of the steps, and made sure to get us both involved as often as possible. As a person, he was funny and interesting, with many stories to share about cooking and beyond.

Chef Paul was wonderful! He was friendly, obviously professional and patient with us as we worked our way through a meal that was new to us. The vegan take on an classic Italian meal was superb! I plan on using his recipes over and over! Delicious and fun!

Booked the class Vegan and Gluten Free Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)

I have attended a few cooking classes and I must say the this is the best culinary experience thus far; Mukti not only teaches you how to cook Indian foods, but also teaches you what and how to use the tools of the kitchen; she explains the proper cooking tools and methods to use in order to obtain the desired results. Her method of instructing is one where you are made to feel relax and comfortable. I will return to take another class from Mukti. Thank you, Muki!

Absolutely a great and wonderful experience! We did the vegan Indian cooking class and learned so much about cooking, including the basics. The food was amazing - and we were the ones who made it! I highly recommend this for anyone looking to learn more about Indian cooking.

Booked the class Vegan and Gluten Free Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)

Mukti was an incredible host who welcomed my boyfriend, myself, and another couple into her home for an amazing three hour experience. She greeted us, told us about her history and how she became a cooking instructor, and then brought us into the kitchen to begin the experience. We booked the vegan and gluten free class, and learned how to make pakora, coriander chutney, Aloo gobi matar rasha, chana masala, vegetable pulao, and eggplant masala. Mukti was patient, met us at our level, gave us clear and direct instructions, and recipes to take home with us! We could not have asked for a better evening.

Our class with Chef Mukti was an amazing experience. My girlfriend and I attended the class to celebrate our two year anniversary and it was a perfect way to celebrate. The food was way better than going to a fancy restaurant and we were able to add more recipes to our weekly routine. In fact we made two of the dishes the next day!
