NOTES FROM THE CHEF:
This class may extend past 90 minutes to ensure every guest is successful at making these lovely macarons.
If you do not have a scale that weighs in grams, you can use the Imperial measurement (US metrics) conversions below:
Confectioner’s Sugar - 1 cup
Almond Flour - 1 cup + 5 TB
Freshly Cracked Egg Whites - 1/3 cup
Granulated Sugar - 1/2 cup
Separate egg whites from yolks. Be careful there are no "goldfish" (yolks) whatsoever and refrigerate your whites. Remove from the refrigerator 60 minutes prior to class.
Have a fan with a “low” setting ready nearby (this will be used to help dry out the cookies prior to baking). Oven fans (in hood system) are not kind to drying macarons.
Have your piping bags and sheet trays ready. If using parchment paper, have it cut or lined up inside the tray, not hanging over the sides of the tray.

She was amazing, and so patient!
You hear all these stories about making macarons and let me just say, round 1 was a fail, but I was so inspired that I gave it another go the following day, and with the help of a scale, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MACARONS!!!!! The lemon curd filling is literally mouth-watering. Cannot wait to try these again!!!!!!

Chef Lisa is personable and friendly to everyone on the zoom class. She gave time to allow us to ask questions. She offered suggestions to each of us based off of where we lived, and what type of oven we were using. She shared her knowledge with us and offered us tips and suggestions that were not part of our class material. Lots of fun and even though my cookies did not turn out well, I still enjoyed learning.
Lori

This was my first experience with an online cooking class. I wanted to make some girl time memories with my daughter and son's girlfriend. I was so impressed with Chef Lisa.

Lisa was great. She talked to all the homecooks several times and checked on their macarons. I especially liked learning the sciencey part of how to get the "skin" on the cookie and why it was important.

Great class. Chef Lisa did a great job instructing us through the loud sounds of mixers. She was relatable and fun. I had always been intimidated to try making Macarons. She made it easy. They turned out great for my first time.

The macaron class with Chef Lisa was fantastic. Chef Lisa was fun and moved at a good pace. She always made sure to check in on everyone at each step and provided personalized feedback and instructions for all. I would gladly take a class with her again.
Susan
21 Dec 2021
This was a wonderful class! Chef Lisa was really great and she explained the recipe and process so clearly. This was my first time making french macarons and I never dreamed they would turn out as well as they did. The class I attended had just 6 people in it so Lisa was able to give each of us individual attention/advice. This was also my first time using Cozymeal and I can't wait to do another class with family and/or friends.
Amanda
20 Dec 2021
Chef Lisa is amazing, and so invested in your macaron success! My niece and I loved this class. Chef Lisa's positive energy and confidence in all of us brought this challenge HOME. I still can't believe our macarons skills, best ever, and a true credit to Chef Lisa and the time she devoted to everyone in the class, individually! I will definitely take more classes with Lisa!
Susan
12 Dec 2021
While I understood Chef Lisa's frustration about people not having the recipes I do not think she should have displayed any attitude. The confirmation letter is supposed to have a link to recipes, but it is a link to website where you have to log in to your account you set up for registration, go to my account, then to my plan? abd there are the recipes. Additionally the recipe for macaroons needs updated as granulated sugar does NOT get sifted. Timing for adding cream of tartar is 45 sec not 30, etc. I found recipes as I called customer service. Please consider updating confirmation email to step by step obtain recipes and have recipes reviewed to match the chef who is presenting the class. Our macaroons were very tastey and I will take another class.

I had a great time. Chef Lisa is very knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. I had taken a macaron making class in person, about a month ago, that charged $90. The chef was not a pastry chef, and he had only a basic knowledge of baking macarons. I learned much more from Chef Lisa and my macarons were much better. Thank you for the experience.

I took this class with my 14 year old daughter and it was really, really great. Chef Lisa was energetic, encouraging and somehow attentive to everyone while also making her own macarons. After two attempts on our own we finally got great macarons from following her step-by-step demo, and all of her extra tips and tricks. Thank you, Chef Lisa!!!

Chef Lisa has a wonderful, encouraging personality, which makes for a really fun class! I am not a strong baker, and she made the macaron class funny, fun, and surprisingly easier than I expected! Chef Lisa gave out a lot of "pro tips", and she checked in with each student, eyeballing our bowls of progress along the way - which was insanely helpful. She gave us tricks of the trade when we weren't quite sure that our batter would turn out. And? Mine actually turned out really well! Such a great class. Sign up for one and see for yourself!

I love Lisa's personality! She is happy, bubbly, and simply a ray of sunshine! Her tone is very welcoming and encouraging. She gave very good tips and instructions and was easy to follow (however, i was behind majority of the class since I did not do enough prep work prior to - sifting my almond flour and confectioners sugar). I liked that she was engaging and made sure to check in (calling people out individually) to make sure they're on the same page or if they needed help. I appreciated her work experience and knowing critical techniques it takes to make it right. In our entire session, she was always uplifting and had great words of encouragement and support. I would definitely take a class by Lisa again!!

My husband and I had such a fantastic time with Chef Lisa learning to make hand pies! We both were pretty nervous about working with a hot water pastry crust since neither of us are very skilled bakers, but Lisa made it so accessible and easy! We had such a great time, our hand pies came out delicious, and we came home with a bunch more to freeze and bake later. Would highly recommend Chef Lisa’s class!

Chef Lisa is a gem. She makes you feel so comfortable witin the first two minutes of arriving and before you know it, a few hours have gone by and we were eating the most delcious hand pies! Knows her stuff and is a wealth of culinary information and its all delivered in easy-to-understand instructions. We can't wait to book again - if ten stars were possible, she'd earn them.

Chef Lisa was amazing! She has so much knowledge for baking and cooking, and specifically healthy, gluten free, and dairy free recipes. She was fun to chat with while baking and let us do the baking while giving direction. It wasn't just about the 3 recipes of the class, she also taught us tips and tricks for baking and cooking in general. We learned so much! A++ rating, telling all my friends to take a class taught by Chef Lisa.

A++++. This class was amazing!!! My daughter and I had such a good time and learned so much from Chef Lisa. Lisa did a wonderful job of breaking down a pretty complicated recipe and explaining the techniques. She also gave us a little science lesson to explain why we did things the way we did.

We had so much fun taking Chef Lisa’s macaron class! We found parking easily, we’re greeted and attended to right away, and went over our experience and questions before jumping in to cooking. Once started, all the ingredients were ready to go and she helped us with step by step instructions while providing her own tips along the way! She made the time together enjoyable with her witty sense of humor and had us splitting out tasks to get everything accomplished in the time we had together. We left with a ton of delicious cookies and were surprised WE made them ourselves! Had a blast and would recommend!
John

Chef Lisa was a terrific instructor. She was warm, inviting, and patient. She imparted her wealth of knowledge in ways that were readily understandable and digestible. My 11yo daughter felt engaged the entire time (and class ran longer than anticipated - in a good way). The output of the lesson were utterly delicious macarons and macaroons. We can’t wait to bake our own at home. I would t hesitate to take another class with Chef Lisa!!!
Guy

We signed up for a Macaron & Macaroon cooking class, and had a blast. Chef Lisa, taught us the art of making them, as well as the science behind it. She is super friendly, knowledgeable and made the class as great as it was. The class was 3 hours long, but went by so fast because we were constantly baking, laughing and taste testing our work along the way. We are not much of bakers but after this class we have the confidence to try and make them on our own. I would highly recommend taking a cooking class with Chef Lisa. We will defiantly be looking to take more of Chef Lisa's classes in the future!

This was our first cooking class ever and enjoyed it a ton. Chef Lisa made the process fun and not just us following recipe instructions. She explained why were were doing everything and answered any cooking/baking questions we had and of course the stuff we baked turned out as tasty as it sounded. We would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes baking, whether you're a newbie or just looking to learn how to make something new

***We would have gladly given her a tip, but this was a work event and the money was allocated to the class. We wish we knew that tips were an option, because we would have paid for a tip when we signed up. We cannot get more money now for a tip. Please accept our apologies!

Chef seems like under a extreme pressure to finish the session asap. She did not give us any time to react to her instructions. I failed to follow the instruction after 15 mins into the session. One of my colleagues asked for pause two times, she ignored the request for the first time and only paused for about 10 seconds for the second time. I would like to point out that we are here for FUN, not extra anxiety.

A review from Jenna and Chris. Five stars is not enough for Chef Lisa. I’m not sure what I was expecting because I’ve never done anything like cozy meal before.. but Lisa went above and beyond any expectation I had. After she walked through our door she asked my boyfriend and I what we wanted from the experience—whether it was to learn, just enjoy her cooking for us, etc. Chris and I wanted to learn and be involved so we could replicate it in the future and just understand what was going on (like how to use a knife, how to make sure the sauce was balanced, what our taste buds were tasting, etc.). Lisa was one of the best teachers I’ve had. She made sure we were not only hands on, but explained everything step by step of what to do, what to expect if we are replicating it in the future and the science behind the food. She was extremely personable, professional, enthusiastic, funny, and kind. She was also very accommodating as I asked to change a few things on the menu. I strongly recommend having her cook for you and/or teach you how to cook. It was such a great experience. By the end of the night everything was put away, cleaned up, and we made a new friend. Oh, and the food was DELICIOUS!!!
kathy
08 Aug 2019
our evening with Lisa surpassed our expectations...she is the real deal! Talented, articulate, enthusiastic, and a teacher by nature. My son and I learned so much about technique, food balance, and the culinary arts. She really took my son under her wings to demonstrate proper techniques, and he was a thrilled twenty year old. She asked questions and drew us out, and had us thinking about the food , the preparation and methodology. And of course, then we were served a wonderful meal..... it was a wonderful private.

From the moment we entered the apartment, we knew this night would be memorable.
A birthday gift from my hubs, Chris, who wanted to gift experiences/memories vs things and french cuisine (well everything related to france) is among our favorite things- he delivered. Chef Lisa had soft jazz reminiscent of a Paris cafe in the Roaring 20s and her apartment decor showed that she had traveled the world, bringing a piece of her travels back to Brighton.
We were welcomed with an amazing cheese and homemade fig paste that I honestly could have eaten in its entirety, but knew courses were coming.
From the moment we entered the kitchen I was struck with how well she was as an instructor. I love cooking (I'm no chef- I just enjoy it) and Lisa was able to help sharpen my skills and teach me new ways of looking at putting a dish together. The hubs is not a cook- and he held his own, making an amazing honey mustard vinaigrette and he even made the main course (very excited for this.... as it means he will also be in charge of 1 meal a month ;)
From start to finish, we were educated, not only in cooking, but the science behind it, which I found fascinating! We were so relaxed, shared stories with Lisa of travel, and by the time the meal ended and dessert was basically licked clean, we both felt that we had met someone who we would see again.
If you at all are weirded out by not going to some class or restaurant for a cooking lesson and coming to someones home- DO NOT BE. This was one of the most memorable experiences that my husband and I have had (& we have had many).
Do yourself a favor- and book Lisa!

My mother and I had a wonderful time taking a class with Chef Lisa. She was professional and knowledgeable, and shared a lot of tips and information with us as we put together our meal. She was prepared and gave good explanations, which made trying something new less daunting. She was also considerate and took the time to address some dietary concerns. Even though we have taken other cooking classes, we both felt like we learned new things. We also found her to be a gracious and welcoming host. We highly recommend the experience.

We had a great time at chef Lisa’s. This was our first cooking class experience and I’m so glad it was. The food was amazing and she is so flexible with everything you need/want. She is so willing to really show you how to do everything step by step and she taught me that cooking doesn’t have to be a big scary ordeal. It can be really easy to make great food and desert. Chef Lisa herself is such a great person. If you have any interest in food at all you need to try this class!!

Lisa was a great teacher and a wealth of knowledge for both my brother and me. Her home was really welcoming and the food turned out great. Such a special evening!

We had such a great experience with Chef Lisa! Her experience and professionalism showed from the minute she welcomed us into her home. The ingredients were fresh and top quality and she did an amazing job of guiding us through the steps to make our meal. Everything was incredible and the best part is it was all things we could make again ourselves thanks to her guidance not only on the actual recipes but how to apply some basic chef skills while preparing the food. And once everything was completed, she served us our incredible meal to enjoy. I would definitely recommend a class with Chef Lisa!

Lisa was a perfect and wonderful host. Great attention to the details of the evening, and went the extra mile to to accommodate our requests. She strikes a great balance of teaching what you are interested in while being lots of fun, yet very professional. As this was my first Cozymeal, I didn't realize that the dinners are conducted in the chef's home. While we had a wonderful and intimate experience, we would have preferred a "neutral" cooking class site such as a converted loft space that multiple Cozymeal chefs could use. Again, while we had a lovely experience, the potential variability of in-home classes and dining would make us a little hesitant to try it again.

Lisa was a top notch host! I used Cozymeal as a team building activity for the executives of my small business and the evening exceeded my expectations. Lisa was well prepared, exceedingly informative and changed her teaching to work with our varying skill levels. Her home and kitchen were welcoming and great for a fun intimidate dinner with friends, family or coworkers. We are looking forward to trying this again!

Lisa is a rockstar! She’s personable and made me feel welcome in her truly beautiful home. Her food is complex in flavor but simple to assemble. I would not have thought about making an avocado mousse with ginger. I can’t wait to try out some of the dishes at home for myself!
