Naan bread turned out great and definitely easier than I thought it would be. The curry dish tasted good but I was hoping for better. Definitely have all of your ingredients prepped, measured and ready to go before the start of the class as she moves quickly through each of the preparation steps. Natasha was a pleasure to cook with and was able to answer all of our groups questions. It’s nice to have someone teach you how to make the meal in front of you so you can see what the food should look like at each stage of the cooking process.

Natasha made our experience fun and engaging. On top of that she was great at distilling the steps down so that they were understandable! Thanks for a great evening Natasha!

I loved hearing about Chef Natasha's background, and she threw in some trivia on the spices we were using, and other historical facts that made the class interesting. This also helped with building bonds among the participants!

Overall a good first experience. I would advise future participants on a couple of points: Prep and measure all ingredients beforehand so that you don't need to scramble around during class. Be prepared to melt your butter. Have cornstarch handy in case you need to thicken the curry. Make the curry in a medium cook pot or dutch oven rather than a saute pan or frying pan. Be prepared to mix the yogurt and milk together. Have a whisk, spatula, and stirring spoon handy. You only need to pre-heat your oven if you want to keep the Naan bread warm. Oh, and if you have a gas stove with an exhaust fan make sure your computer speaker is loud enough that you'll be able to hear the chef's guidance over the noise of the fan. Other than that you should be all set!

Chef Natasha was great! She was very clear on the instructions and also very patient. I took her class on Indian Curry and homemade Naan bread. Both were fantastic!

This class was a lot of fun and Chef Natasha was a great guide! We are thrilled to have a good and simple curry recipe to SPICE things up in the kitchen (ha...ha...). Chef Natasha was able to give me a dairy-free naan bread recipe to use instead that was similar enough to the recipe being taught in the class and it turned out great!

Super fun and informative!

Cheryl

06 Feb 2022

Our family had a great time cooking curry and naan! Because we gathered and prepared our ingredients ahead of time the pace felt a little slow, but that gave us more time to enjoy the trivia and listen to Chef Natasha's tips for the future. She did a great job of listening and answering all participant questions. I highly recommend cooking with her!

Pat

05 Feb 2022

The class was organized and well presented and she gave good tips. Cozymeal gave me one time for the class and the instructor had another time. It worked out though.

Fabulous night, Natasha was so much fun and kept the pace for every skill level. Can’t wait to take another!

Anne

10 Jan 2021

I thought Chef Natasha was a wonderful teacher. She was calm, giving clear directions and repeating ingredients or steps often. It was quite a diverse class, with skill levels ranging from beginner to pro! She handled it all beautifully. More importantly, the food was sooo tasty. I've only made naan twice in my life. The first was a disaster but this time, with her direction, it came out perfectly. I may just have to cook it a LOT. The chicken and spices blended together perfectly. I enjoyed every bite of my meal, hopefully with more members of my family joining in -- that was such a special part of the class to see mothers and daughters from all over everywhere cooking together virtually. The pandemic has led to a lot of changes in society and the way in which we can do things togethe -- but cooking with Chefs like Natasha and folks from around the world -- all virtually -- is a positive, uplifting experience in these stressful times. Take care.

Katana

Chef Natasha was great! Very patient and resourceful. The food was amazing. We doubled the Naan recipe and cooked extra chicken in an attempt to share with the neighbors but our boys went back for seconds! Highly recommended!

Steven

14 Dec 2020

The class was very fun and the recipes turned out great. We did most of the prep work before the class started, so we could watch more instead of chopping?. Not necessary, because Natasha walks you through everything and makes sure everyone is in sync. We had approx 10 people in the class and she handled everyone’s questions. I would definitely recommend this session.

LaMarr

Chef Natasha is incredible! Her sessions are great for groups! I scheduled this online cooking class as a surprise for my girlfriend's birthday. And I told her to invite her friends and their significant others. Everyone had a fun time and learned a delicious recipe for margaritas and fish tacos! We didn’t need a passport for this amazing recipe from Barbados. Definitely, a combo to try for your next date night. We can't wait to try Chef Natasha's "Jerk Chicken and Rasta Pasta" online cooking class! Book her classes as soon as you can because her events sell out quickly. After this experience, you will definitely want to share this with your friends and family!

Jazmine

15 Feb 2021

I did the 'Chicken kebobs and Rasta pasta' experience with Chef Natasha. I enjoy cooking (when I have time), so initially I didn't understand why this experience would be better than just following a recipe a home. The difference is that I can learn new ideas for flavor combinations from the chef and from other participants , as well as be guided thru the cooking experience with recommendations on how to improve my technique. Chef Natasha was fun, kind and patient, and she kept in touch with our progress during the event. She answered everyone's questions and was knowledgeable in her field. The food turned out beautiful and delicious, and I look forward to doing another 'cozymeal' either on my own or with a group of friends .

Chef Natasha was an absolute pleasure. She and her assistant Cheyenne made our in-home cooking class experience fun and easy. They arrived early to set up and cleaned up along the way, so that once it was time to sit down and eat, we had a clean kitchen and could enjoy the meal without the worry of clean up! I would hire them again :)

The love of cooking with her grandmother and the Caribbean culture have been the inspiration for chef Natasha. Her experience as a business owner, entrepreneur and as a teacher at the culinary school of the Art Institute in Tampa have made her an excellent chef and teacher. She makes her classes easy to learn. I enjoyed her fusion of Caribbean and Indian cuisine. Her Fried Plantains with Bajan aioli were creamy and tasty, a mixture of sweet and salty. The Garam Masala Curry Chicken with Kale and Coconut Rice were also very tasty. The combination of ingredients and spices blended together very nicely.
