Booked the class Pasta Quartet with Chef Aaron in Minneapolis (Saint Anthony Park)

This was a blast! We had so much fun learning and laughing with Chef Aaron - I had never made pasta and it actually turned out! He gave us lots of tips and tricks and the recipes he shared with us were so good. He shared stories of making pasta with his grandmother and I can’t wait to share what I learned with my granddaughter! We would definitely take a class with him again.

Booked the class A Neapolitan Pizza Adventure with Chef Bonicelli in Minneapolis (Northeast Minneapolis)

Chef Laura’s Neapolitan Pizza Adventure was a fantastic experience. We loved learning how to properly create and handle the dough, the importance of restraint with toppings, and watching the pizzas beautifully brown and bubble in the Ooni oven. The kitchen was perfectly set up for our small group of six, the food was delicious, and the warmth of Chef Laura and her husband’s home was truly the icing on the cake. My partner and I are already looking forward to taking more of her classes in the future.

The "Recreating an Italian Kitchen" class with Chef Bonicelli was everything we had hoped for - a lot of fun, we learned techniques and were given recipes which I'm sure we will use in the future, and the food was amazing and we made enough pasta to take some home and freeze! Her kitchen was perfect for the class, she is VERY organized and a wonderful teacher. I'd highly recommend this class.

Booked the class Perfect Handcrafted Potstickers with Chef Pao in Minneapolis

We cooked potstickers with Chef Pao. Over all it was good experience. It was fun. It is clear he is passionate about cooking and talented in putting together the prep. The class offered the potstickers, chicken fried rice. Not sure if we did the secret sauce. We were also looking forward to the Mochi Ice Cream. It wasn't served...we are also Ice Cream Lovers and would have loved to try something new.

My boyfriend and I visited Chef Pao and made potstickers and fried rice. I have a love for cooking and wanted to experience a private cooking class and it did not disappoint.

We took a pasta cooking class from Mimi for a date night and it was fantastic. Mimi is an excellent host and instructor. She's very friendly and warm. And she brings a clear passion for cooking and helping others experience that. We had a blast learning with her. Also, our food turned out amazing, it had such a careful choice of flavors for a classic alfredo linguini. I would love to take another class with her sometime. I imagine her Ethiopian dishes would be a special treat.

Meg C. July, 2026

Booked the class Perfect Handcrafted Potstickers with Chef Pao in Minneapolis

Chef Pao is a FANTASTIC teacher. He is great at preparing and guiding guests through a recipe to cook delicious meals in his home. We had a lovely experience and it felt very relaxing and intimate to be in a home rather than a public place. We learned lots of new techniques when we made dumplings, and learned about the different types and traditions of potstickers and dumplings. We will absolutely be signing up for more classes with Chef Pao. He's excellent at pacing the process of making a multiple course meal and the results were absolutely delicious. We gained not only new techniques but also confidence as we broadened our culinary horizons. Our dumplings and fried rice were wonderful! I know I'll be able to recreate the food on my own and even change the recipes a little bit to suit different eaters. We had such a great time and highly recommend not only Cozymeal but Chef Pao in specific!
