This class was amazing! Chef Lisa was so helpful throughout the whole class, checking in on every single person at each step. She also gave a lot of tips throughout the class. You can tell she really cares about making sure that you left happy and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend! Took another one of her classes after this one.

Lisa was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, kind, enthusiastic and motivating. I did not think I was going to be successful in baking these cookies, but they came out wonderful and something I look forward to sharing with friends and family.

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!!

Lisa had some top tips and the end product was delicious! She has a way to instill confidence and shares details of textures and expected consistencies and so on that would be hard to learn alone.

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.

My girlfriend and I took the chocolate making class hosted by Chef Lisa and we had an amazing time. She was a fantastic teacher who has a deep knowledge of the science and processes of chocolate making. On top of her teaching skills, Chef Lisa was a great host and incredibly engaging. We left feeling more knowledgeable and very happy with the entire experience. I would recommend Chef Lisa and the chocolate making class to anyone!

Joanne

My boyfriend and I enjoyed every minute of this French Bistro class. From the moment we met Lisa it was enjoyable conversation, extremely educational, and a ton of fun. A pleasant surprise was the romantic candle light dinner setting as Lisa served us and we enjoyed the food that we made. We will definitely be going back for more classes and delicious food!

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!!!

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.

Debora

03 Jul 2019

It was a great experience! I booked this class as a birthday present for my husband, and we had a great time! Chef Lisa is super nice and knowledgeable, and she gave us a lot of great tips for cooking in general. The food was amazing as well.

Christopher

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!

A truly wonderful evening! Chef Lisa was very informative, patient, and encouraging taking the time to lead us through each recipe and work on a variety of cooking skills that could be applied to many other meals. The meal itself was so tasty and we look forward to making it again at home!

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.

Lisa was exuberant, fun, very organized, and taught us several cooking techniques. We had a great evening. Our only negative is for cozymeal itself. We had a gift certificate, but then got charged again on our credit card. When I emailed about it, I got a reply that you would be in touch soon. I've heard nothing in the last three days.

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!!

Nick

28 Dec 2017

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!

Rebecca

27 Dec 2017

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!

David

08 Dec 2017

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.

Kristen

01 Dec 2017

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!

Natalie

09 Nov 2017

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!
