We had a group of 23 and signed up for the pizza night class from 6-9pm. The staff was not particularly nice to us, the ingredients were sparse, and we were only allowed to make two 10 inch pizzas per group of 4-5 people. We arrived at 5:45 for a class from 6-9pm. We started around 6:30pm and they made us leave at 8:35pm. For the amount we paid per head, I expected more. The instruction was lacking, they basically just showed us how to top store bought pizza dough with toppings (which there was not enough of). They cooked our pizzas in an electric oven, so they came out very undercooked and not great. We also had to bring all of our own beverages (which we knew ahead of time) but they had no room to put our drinks in the fridge, and didn’t have any ice. The only other thing they offered us to eat was ricotta toast and a green salad and water. Really disappointed and underwhelmed. Would not come again.

Average. We have used Cozymeal before with much better results. We showed up late and yet the staff was not ready for us. The space was nice to eat but not good for cooking. Tables too low, no real ovens, sort of meh. Staff friendly but didn't teach us much either.

We didn't really cook much of the meal. We mostly did preparation and the chef and staff did the actual cooking. Still, it was a nice night with friends.

Our group had the pleasure of coming together and cooking at City Cooking West End for a Tapas Get Together. The team at City Cooking exceeded our expectations and provided a wonderful experience for the evening. The class was BYOB, which allowed for flexibility and a more customized feel. Did I mention that the food was incredible? Monica sent over the recipes and everyone is thrilled to try them again. Thank you for an amazing night!

Absolutely fantastic evening, Monica and her team ensured that all of my guests had an incredible experience I would recommend the Pasta Adventure, not only did we learn to make pasta, my guests also were able to network and get to know each other. Very different experience, then sitting at a big table for dinner.

Really fun and busy class making pad Thai, deep fried lemongrass corn fritters, shrimp curry, and enjoying coconut rice afterwards, in a group of 12. It was nice to review knife skills as well. Great date or special occasion activity

Overall very informative. Adult only class would be a nice option.. Chef had amazing experience, very informative and knowledgeable. Should have a 5 min late policy. Late guests distracting. Would have liked a little quicker pace. Overall Very great seat up. Definitely an experience.
Emilie
01 Dec 2023
Overall, the class was really fun! In a way I wish it was a tiny bit more challenging. It felt like we did a few knife cuts, then took a break and then cooked a bit before eating. All in all, I wish it had been a bit more difficult or ""fast"" pace wise. The food we made was really good, except for the pad thai which was disappointing. Also would be super nice to make a dessert!
Paula
01 Dec 2023
The class was easy to follow, and I feel the recipes will be easy to replicate at home. This class should be 3 hrs long, not 2. The dough didn't have enough time to rise and didn't have enough time to bake. My focaccia bread wound up burning because the instructor was moving on with the class and the bread didn't get out of the oven fast enough.
