Booked the class Food That Empowers Your Mind with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
Had a great time cooking and chatting with Chef Luana. Learned how to make healthy and delicious food in a realistic kitchen setting - can't wait to cook the amazing dishes at home. Pineapple with burrata was an amazing combo, and the homemade bread was great too! Risotto was mouthwatering, especially with a few tips from Chef Luana on how to make it super creamy and flavorful (and still healthy!). Chef Luana was very welcoming, and her place felt like home! We would love to be back for more classes. Recommend this class!

We had a wonderful birthday celebration dinner prepared and served by Chef Mert, who is easy-going, personable, and professional. I had asked Chef Mert to teach us knife skills which he prepared for by choosing a menu that required slicing, dicing, julienning and knife sharpening! We made a delicious vegetable soup (thickening secret = plain Greek yogurt with some flour mixed into it!) and a flavorful ratatouille with a pan-cooked chicken breast, cut up and tossed with the vegetables. Melt in your mouth goodness. Prior to that, Mert preheated the oven and prepared a whole chicken with plenty of garlic, pepper and salt, lemon and rosemary, rubbing the chicken liberally with olive oil. And while it cooked and we helped him prepare the soup, we opened and shared a bottle of wine. Mert cut up a panoply of fresh fruit, tossed in their own juices and refrigerated. While we enjoyed our soup (there was enough for seconds, and thirds on the next day), Mert plated the chicken and ratatouille. A perfectly roasted chicken, moist, tender and flavorful. We had enough left for 4 more meals. We were so happy and impressed that Mert cleaned up the dishes, counters and sink so well, and left our kitchen as clean and neat as he found it. He arrived shortly before 6pm to set up, and left a bit after 8:30. We helped ourselves to the fruit salad which tasted even better than expected, after half an hour in the refrigerator. The evening was great, as was Mert’s company. He is from Turkey and learned to cook from his grandmothers. Chef Mert has worked in first-rate kitchens but says he never went to cooking school. Shows you that good cooking is an innate talent. It would be fun to have him back to cook an authentic Turkish meal! Kudos to Chef Mert and CozyMeals. P.S. We gave Mert a tip in person.

Chef Mert is fantastic! We took his beginners course and he really takes the time to explain and answer every question you have. He explained the thinking behind the cooking to get things just perfect, which I really appreciated. He is a very polite and chill person; very easy and fun to talk to! Also so knowledgeable in different cuisines and restaurants local to the area. 10/10 experience I can’t recommend highly enough!!

What a wonderful experience cooking risotto with Chef Luana this evening. All the ingredients were fresh and some brought back from her hometown in Italy. I really love risotto and I could never make it to the quality of a restaurant at home, but now with her instruction, I am able to do it.

Chef Luana provided helpful, clear demonstrations and descriptions of how to cook delicious Italian foods with basic, but excellent, ingredients for a meal that combined delicious, inventive flavor combinations. She helped us understand the keys to producing such a meal in ways that gave us confidence we could also succeed at such cooking. Thank you Chef Luana!

Offering Chef Luana's class to my daughter was the best Christmas gift. She enjoyed the evening, learned a lot and felt like she was in Italy. She highly recommends the experience, as well as her friend who also participated in the class.

After much anticipation for Chef Luana's risotto cooking class, I left feeling cheated of both time and money. What was advertised as a hands-on culinary experience turned out to be little more than an uncomfortable sales pitch with minimal cooking involvement. "Hands-on" apparently meant chopping an onion and dicing a pineapple. That's it. Nearly everything else was pre-prepared, leaving us as audience members rather than participants. I came expecting to learn techniques and timing for perfect risotto, but instead watched as Chef Luana worked with components she had already prepared before our arrival. Most uncomfortable was the relentless self-promotion throughout the session. Rather than focusing on our learning experience, Chef Luana continuously pitched her various side businesses—offering to meal prep for us weekly, showcase her crochet work, and repeatedly suggesting she could cater our future events. At one point, she even suggested that we should consider a smaller wedding so that she and her friend could handle the catering! This unsolicited advice and constant selling created an awkward atmosphere that overshadowed any culinary instruction. To make matters worse, Chef Luana repeatedly brought up tipping throughout the class, making awkward mentions of her Venmo account multiple times. The not-so-subtle hints about gratuity created additional tension in what was already an uncomfortable atmosphere. Being reminded about tips before we'd even finished the experience felt tactless and presumptuous. At the end she pointed at her venmo link that is printed out forcing you to tip. The overall unprofessionalism was staggering. From the lack of preparation to the blatant business solicitation and tip-hunting, it felt less like a cooking class and more like being trapped in an extended infomercial. Finally, Chef Luana didn't provide any written instructions or ingredient measurements for ANY of the dishes—making it impossible to recreate at home, which defeats the entire purpose of taking a cooking class. Save your money and look elsewhere for cooking classes that actually teach you to cook.
