Super amazing! The food was probably the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Very authentic. Chef Rishika also was incredibly friendly and personable. Cleaned afterwards which was such a treat.

Elise

A great evening of learning and eating! Rishika did a great job of teaching us through hands on experience. We successfully made homemade pasta and learned how to present dishes well. A little sad the recipes changed since booking but overall a great experience.

Chef Rishika was a great teacher and allowed our family to engage with her and each other in a friendly playful way during the class. The food was delicious and she was very patient with different experience and speed levels. I would definitely recommend a class with chef Rishika

Diane Allen

Chef is an excellent teacher. The recipes are good and well worth making again. I would rate them as intermediate in terms of difficulty. If the student does the prep work ahead and has the necessary ingredients organized, close at hand and pre-measured, things will go easier.

Julian

Very knowledgeable Chef and the class really helped my cooking skills!

Megan

Chef Rishika was very easygoing and accommodating. She was very patient every step of the way and did well to create a very cozy atmosphere for a very cozy meal. We will be going home feeling like newly trained chefs. I would highly recommend this experience to my friends and family.

5 stars for Chef Rishika. The food was delicious, she gave individual attention and pointers to everyone in the class, and had ready solutions for any challenges people had. There were several things we got from the class that we wouldn't have by watching YouTube or following a recipe.

Angela

Chef Rishika's class was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and patient with the various questions that folks asked during the session and also very clear in the recipe steps. Our chicken tikka masala and naan were delicious, and we enjoyed the class experience very much. Thank you!

Great experience with Chef Rishika! She provided excellent detailed instructions, answered our questions, and gave feedback to create crispy Stuffed Paratha Bread. The Indian Street Food class with Chef Rishika was a positive learning experience. I highly recommend Chef Rishika!

Rishika was great! I only wish the prep instructions had been a bit clearer, specifically re: chopping the carrots even finer, but Rishika was so great at helping in the moment and the food was delicious.

It was a great live, virtual class . Very intimate and interactive. There were only two other participants . chef Rishika was very organized. The timing was perfect . we prepped a few things before class but it was so easy to follow her. She gave great tips and we enjoyed our fabulous meal after class ended. Great idea for a gift or date night!

We had a fabulous time learning Chicken Tikka and Naan tonight. Chef Rishika was so friendly, helpful and informative. She easily helped adjust the timing for groups cooking different proteins. Our meal turned out great. We have tried other online cooking classes and this was by far our favorite.

From beginning to end, every moment of Chef Rishika's class was phenomenal! She was so welcoming, social and easy-going. She taught the recipes with patience and showed as many tricks and methods along the way. This was our first time making pasta, pesto and cannoli from scratch. We were able to appreciate the labour that goes into fresh, high quality food. It was so wonderful to cook an amazing fine-dining, 3-course meal and eat it too in a relaxed environment. I I booked this experience as a birthday gift for my husband. She made sure the night was extra special for him. This experience exceeded our expectations. We're glad we booked with Chef Rishika!

Melissa

We really enjoyed Chef Rishika's class! It was really nice there was only one other person in the class so we felt really comfortable asking questions. So helpful that she could see how our dish looked and let us know in the moment if we needed to add something, let it cook longer etc. She was very patient and helpful! The naan in particular is delicious and we will definitely make it again! Thanks!

Kelly

04 Jun 2022

Chefs Rishika and Jonathan gave us an unforgettable experience, and went above and beyond in making my husband's birthday special. They were not only great at instructing us on what to do, but also spent the time to explain why things are done the way they are. We learned a lot of valuable skills, tips & tricks, and had so much fun! Thank you both for such an amazing time.

Marie

Cheryl

24 May 2022

I thoroughly enjoyed the final product of Chicken Tikka Masala and the Naan Bread that we made in the Indian Takeout Favorites with Chef Rishika. Lots of prep work and ingredients, but Chef Rishika was so quick and responsive to my questions prior to the class. I had some dietary restrictions and Chef Risika gave me substitutes which worked beautifully. Chef Rishika was very attentive during the class and took the time to look at how everyone was doing and offer individual suggestions and encouragement to each of us!! Highly recommend.... but remember to prep before hand.

Jacqueline & Jaime Frias

Rhea

21 May 2022

I booked this class for my best friend’s birthday and I can’t emphasize enough how lovely the experience was. Chef Rishika and Chef Jonathan are so talented, kind, and generous! They are phenomenal teachers and we learned so much - not only in terms of the process and recipes, but in technique, ingredients, and quality. The food was better than any restaurant dining and I feel equipped to recreate it on my own! For anyone considering this class or ANY class with these chefs, don’t hesitate to book. They had us laughing, learning, and eating to our hearts’ content!

Samantha

19 May 2022

I went to this event as part of my bachelorette party and both me and my bridal party had a blast! We were first welcomed by home-made cocktail that is made by chef Rishika using her own recipe, then we started learning about the dishes and various tips and got to perform the cooking hands on. We were able to enjoy our food at her place which was nicely decorated and she was taking photos for us along the way. Chef rishika and Jonathan are both super passionate about cooking and very friendly. I highly recommend them and in particular the gourmet feast menu!

Fiona

12 May 2022

Another great class by Chef Rishika (we have taken 3 of her classes now!) Straightforward recipes that were delicious and flavourful. Lots of tips and tricks to adapt recipes for individual tastes and different modes of preparation! Can't wait to see what class/recipe you come up with next!! Thank you!

mike

12 May 2022

I am a beginner cook. I am very uncomfortable in the kitchen. This chef went at a good pace and explained everything as she prepared the dish. She suggested any substitutes and described how the dish can be more or less spicy. The dish came out amazing and the fusion worked perfectly together.

Liz Ashfield

Ariadna

06 Apr 2022

My husband and I got a 1 to 1 with Chef Rishika and it was the best date night ever! She was so patient with us, explained every step in a clear way, and helped us out make some delicious ravioli and tiramisu which we had failed to make on our own in the past. It was fun having to collaborate with each other to make this delicious meal, and later on, we got to eat together watching a movie. If you love homemade pasta and you'd like a different date night with your partner, I recommend this class 100%.

Mark

03 Apr 2022

Chef Rishika was awesome. All of the courses were absolutely delicious and the recipes can be recreated at home. We would highly recommend taking this class. It was a lot of fun and Chef Rishika was so nice and personable. Great time!

Kerry

03 Apr 2022

Chef Rishika was really helpful in answering questions and checking in to make sure we were all in the same place before moving on with the recipe. I really like how she was so knowledgeable about the different kinds of mixers, pans and different oils for cooking everything.

Octavia

05 Mar 2022

I was a little skeptical of taking a cooking class via Zoom, however, Chef Rishika blew my skepticism out the door! She was interactive, patient, and gave GREAT ideas for leftover options. Her camera setup was superb and I never felt like I was unable to see what she was doing. This was a birthday gift from my daughter and I've been wanting to make ravioli from scratch but the best addition was also making tiramisu which is my favorite dessert! Both dishes came out delicious and I will look into taking more classes with Chef Rishika. (And so should you!)

Alicia

05 Mar 2022

I received this class as a birthday gift and it was so enjoyable for my husband and me. The ravioli and tiramisu were delicious! I’d definitely recommend as a fun, unique activity.

Stacy Moore

Chef was patient, kind, fun, and energizing; we loved the experience and look forward to our next Cozymeal!

Rebecca

Chef Rishika was super patient and helpful. She was thorough on her instructions and provided guidance for each step of the recipe. This was my first time making pasta from scratch and it came out delicious.

Eric

18 Feb 2022

Absolutely delicious! The pasta roller is a must though, my arms are jelly after rolling all that dough with a roller. Rishika was fantastic, so kind, patient and helpful. Great with working with different peoples situations on the fly. Thanks for a great time!

Kimberly

17 Feb 2022

Excellent class! Chef Rishika did it again! Great class! Easy instructions, wonderful menu! I can eat Indian food! I just don't include the garlic! Awesome! Fun class! Will definitely be making the Naan, as well as the Chicken Tikka Masala my again. It really helps if you have all of the ingredients premeasured before class. She also gives you time to clean up between steps. Awesome! She is great giving instructions, and answers all of your questions. Added top, read through the recipes before class, to give yourself a good base on which to build. Time well spent with Chef Rishika! This is the 2nd class I have taken from her (the first one was the Ravioli and Tiramisu - which was Awesome too!). Looking forward to more classes on CozyMeal, as well as with Chef Rishika. Thanks!

Alisha

Wonderful experience and Chef was able to answer all of my questions. Well organized and able to see her cooking and preparation. Will look into her other classes.

Kimberly

06 Feb 2022

Excellent! WOW! we LOVED this class! Would even take it again! Chef Rishika did an excellent job teaching this class, coaching the participants through step by step. She even gave you time to clean up after each of the steps. Yes! I'm definitely keeping these two recipes, and making them again and again. WOW! I keep thinking about the unlimited possibilities too! I'll be making a bunch of raviolis and freezing them, for future dinners, and family members. Yes! Recommendations - If you don't have a pasta roller/maker, and you have a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer, I would definitely recommend purchasing the Pasta Roller attachment for your Stand Mixer. We just happened to purchase it (through Amazon), and had received it several days prior, before I even knew I was going to take this class (I registered the night before). Anyway, a pasta maker definitely helps! Chef talks you through the pasta dough making even if you don't have a pasta maker, and you have to roll it out by hand using a rolling pin - WOW! Chef recommends that you measure out all ingredients prior to the start of the class, and this definitely helped. I also recommend a circular ravioli cutter (which I have now purchased after the class (through Amazon), and will definitely be putting to good use. I ordered one like Chef used , and I can't wait to get it! WOW! I just can't stop thinking about this class. Excellent! Thanks Chef Rishika! Awesome! Do you teach any other classes on CozyMeals? If not, you definitely need to do it! Sign me up!

Gabrielle

06 Feb 2022

My boyfriend really enjoyed the food. He can go back home and make his own Indian food now! Thanks chef!

Theresa

Marla

Great class. Chef was professional, answered every question, and taught us how to make a delicious meal. One of best Cozymeals I've done.

Linda

05 Feb 2022

Chef Rishika was great. Her explanations were steady to understand, she gave numerous variations on what we were making, and had great patience! She answered all questions and took extra time whenever anyone needed it! An overall really nice experience on a cold winter afternoon!

Patricia

05 Feb 2022

Great experience! We like to celebrate birthdays at a themed restaurant. Distance being a hindrance this year, we turned to Cozymeal to get our themed meal experience from 3 locations. Coach Rishika was patient with our novice level of expertise and made the experience fun. It was great to be able to show our chef our progress, so she could help us with any necessary adjustments, or tell us the consistency was "just as it should be." We're looking forward to more cooking experiences with Chef Rishika.

Trisha

02 Feb 2022

Such an enjoyable evening. It was our first time making homemade ravioli. Chef Rishika was a great instructor. She was constantly checking with each group to make sure they were keeping up and to see if they had questions. The food was delicious! We look forward to scheduling another class. Highly recommend this class.

Lisa

31 Jan 2022

We had a really amazing cooking experience with Chef Rishika! Her hospitality was outstanding from the moment we walked through the door. We learned four very unique dishes that are authentic and not commonly seen at Mexican themed restaurants. It was a very well thought out menu that is easily reproducible at home, and Chef Rishika made sure that it was also super fun by taking the prep work out of the equation, guiding us well throughout the cooking and even providing us with cocktails! She is a very friendly and down to earth host and made it a really fun night worth talking (and instagramming) about!

Pier

29 Jan 2022

Stephanie

25 Jan 2022

We had such an amazing experience with Rishika and Jonathan. From the first minute, they were making us feel at home. It felt like cooking with friends, except that they are experts ? They were amazing teachers, patient and super knowledgeable. They shared so many insights with us. The food was delicious. We are looking forward to taking another cooking class with them.

Heather

24 Jan 2022

Chef Rishika had a great setup, was very good at asking all members how they were doing. Suggest updating the written recipe to include all ingredients that need to be divided as there were many. We missed a few of these instructions which were given verbally. Would give 4.5 stars if I could!

Seth

22 Jan 2022

Excellent class. My partner and I have never made homemade pasta before our class. Chef Rishika broke down the process so it was simple, delicious, and fun!

Great class!

Susan

17 Jan 2022

Chef Rishika was a great teacher. She provided helpful tips to make it easier to work with my pasta dough as well as how to ensure the ravioli didn’t fall apart when boiling. Her instructions were clear and the pace was quick but manageable. I took the class w my husband and two young adult children and we all agree we enjoyed it very much and would take the class again. We look forward to another class with Chef Rishika!

My son and I truly enjoyed our cooking class with Chef Rishika, It was fast paced and I was glad I'd done the recommended prep work in advance. The best part, of course, was getting to eat our delicious chicken tikka masala and gluten free naan for lunch together at the end. Thanks Chef Rishika for a great experience!

Loyal

Tis was an amazing experience. The only thing that I would say was that were were a few times when things were moving pretty fast, but otherwsie the end result was awesome. Thank you so much.

Beverly

09 Jan 2022

Fun class. Chef Rishika was amazing. She explained well, re-explained just as well, waited for us all to catch up and checked that our projects looked the way they were supposed to look as they cooked. She offered substitution suggestions for some of the ingredients and suggested how the basic recipes could be even better. She even plated the meal at the end making it perfect. Now I know an excellent authentic meal I will be able to repeat! Highly recommend a class with her. Thank you Chef Rishika for a fun distance-date afternoon.

Martha

08 Jan 2022

Chef Rishika clearly knows this recipe and did a great job helping us with replacement items and giving feedback as we went. I would love to take another one of her classes!

Gordon

02 Jan 2022

My GF and I have been to the best restaurants in Toronto. King West, Yorkville, College, Queen West, etc. and don't get me wrong some were worth the money - but this cooking experience was INSANE! We made Ravioli from SCRATCH. We prepared the dough, mixed Ricota and spinach, then we did the Sicilian Canolis...it was alot of work but we did it right! Ravioli is the hardest thing to make on an Italian menu so I'm definitely ordering that next time I go out. It was a fun class for the both of us and by far the best value in terms of dollars spent this holiday season. I already re-booked for spring. The whole experience connected us and especially when we actually ate the food we made. Total Chemistry :) thanks Rishika!!

Matthew

Great class. Chef Rishika covered everything well and at a pace we could maintain. She was constantly making sure everyone was progressing well so no one got left behind.

Lisa

Chef Rishika was fantastic! She made the experience very easy and relaxed. I was fortunate to be in a small group, and Chef Rashika was great at checking with each of us, giving us tips on better knife work, and answering any questions we had. I would definitely sign up for another class with her!

This was a great experience! Chef Rishika was wonderful. She taught us not only how to cook the meal but also gave many cooking tips. The food we made was incredible! She made it so easy and gave us the confidence to go ahead and try it on our own someday. I would highly recommend this experience. We had a great time.

Kelly

The entire experience was so much fun!! Chef Rishika was very detailed in her instructions, so patient with us and she has a great sense of humor! The food turned out AMAZING and I feel so confident now and am anxious to try making more Indian foods. My friends and I just had a blast. I would highly recommend Chef Rishika - I can't wait to take another class with her!! Thank you, Chef!

This class was so much fun! It was a bit fast paced, so prepping beforehand is a must. But Chef Rishika did great at checking in with everyone to make sure meals were going well. And the end product was delicious! Thanks again!

Rishika was such a lovely host! She made fancy restaurant style food and plating such a fun and easy experience, everything felt so accessible and approachable, and of course the dishes were incredibly delicious! We feel levelled up and much more confident in our culinary skills. Looking forward to taking another class soon!

Chef Rishika and Chef Jonathan were kind, generous, fun, and patient (given my boyfriend and I aren’t the greatest of cooks). They took us step by step through everything and have inspired us to make our own ravioli and pasta! This is a great way to spend a date night, and plus, you get a 5-star meal by the end of it. Highly recommended ??

She was great. Very interactive and engaged with students by name. I was impressed with the detailed instructions. She did go a little fast at the end, as if she was running out of time. And she didn’t use all the ingredients on the list (green onion for example). The cashew cheese was more of a cashew hummus. Overall though it was a great class with delicious recipes.

Ellen

05 Aug 2021

I purchased this gift for my husband since we had another fun experience cooking online with another chef. Chef Rishika did an awesome job! In order to cover everything, the class went a little fast (definitely prep your ingredients beforehand), so it was a little stressful at times, but she stuck to the time allocated. Having never cooked more time intensive Indian food, this was great. We both really enjoyed the meal and had great leftovers after adding some veggies to it. I would recommend this online cooking class to anyone who likes Indian cuisine and wants to learn how to cook a couple of dishes.

Bronte

Chef Rishika was great! She was personable and made the recipes super fun and beginner friendly. Highly recommend!

Erica

My Husband has tried to make Tikka Masala using several recipes over the last year and a half. Adding the naan was phenomenal. While we know that in India this meal is made over charcoal and this one was made on the stove top, we will be making this recipe two more times. Once with the dairy-free options chef Rishika gave us and the second on the charcoal grill in our cast iron pans. I will be signing up to take the eggplant or okra cooking course with Chef Rishika and Dan will be playing my Kitchen Staff. :) We loved having her as a teacher and we hope that you she enjoyed having us as students. :)

Ellen

She was great. I found it very frustrating however get the ingredients for the recipes we are provided in grams and milliliters and not Converted 2 ounces in cups etc.

A well guided journey for making Indian Street Food. Rishika is very attentive and patient as a teacher. She is easy to follow. It was a great time.

Gaby

14 Jun 2021

-It was a very fun class! I enjoyed cooking with chef Rishika, and learned a few cooking skills during the class. -Chef Rishika was so personable! The class by itself was enjoyable, but she added her own unique flair to it that made it so much FUN! -It was awesome! -Having more details on the prep work and measurements before class would be helpful! Overall, it was very enjoyable and her directions were easy to follow! She was very accommodating. -It was wonderful and delicious! -It was lots of fun and I definitely learned a lot. -Very long, tedious and wasn't as destressing as I'd like -Just wanted to say it was super fun and that I really appreciated the individualized attention Chef Rishika was giving to each of us even though we were a huge class. -I guess maybe have an accurate list of the items with need, regarding the food and the materials needed. Other than that it was really fun and challenging but yeah just a really detailed list of the items would be perfect to be prepared. -The class was amazing. I enjoyed cooking with everyone and the food tasted really good. -It was SO fun, i thought i would not like the meal but it ended up tasting amazing.

We had a wonderful cooking experience with Chef Rishika and a delicious meal. Our group had a variety of experience in cooking and she took time to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable with the dishes. We learned a lot about Indian cooking and had a great time. So much fun!

Chef Rishika is great. She brings the energy, she’s funny and makes sure everyone is able to keep up by checking in and making suggestions. Would highly recommend her class!

Food is very delicious and Chef Rishika did an excellent job explaining steps and very patient. I highly recommend this class!!

Dana

30 May 2021

We had limited experience cooking Indian cuisine and really enjoyed the recipes we made and the class itself. Chef Rishika is educational, helpful and attentive, giving each student help throughout, as well as applaud our successes or recognize us for trying something new and different. She shared tips for cooking in general and ingredient substitutes. The food was delish! We recommend classes with Chef Rishika.

Hailey

21 May 2021

We had a GREAT time with Chef Rishika! She was easy to follow and we made a delicious charcuterie tray with many different things we would never have tried. The vegan cheese was fantastic! Awesome class!

Andrea

17 May 2021

Overall Chef Rishika is very knowledgeable, professional, and was very good about adjusting to dietary restrictions and giving variations on what need to be done for those that had deviated. However, she did go very quickly through the steps. I wish we were informed that everything should have been prepped as previous classes we've taken had us do all the chopping during the class. Additionally, the ingredient list on the CozyMeal website isn't aligned with the written recipe ingredients.

Rachelle

17 May 2021

There are several discrepancies in the ingredient list and the recipes. Then once you get into the class, the written instructions don't follow what Chef Rishika tells you what to do. The class is very fast paced, and if you get behind, it is hard to try and figure out what to do since the written recipes don't match what you are doing. The food was delicious, and Chef RIshika was interested in seeing what you were doing so she could help you out as you were going, which I loved. But having the written recipes and ingredients match what is being taught would be a big improvement. I had to make a ton of notes on my written recipes to make it match what we did for the next time we make the recipes.

Keri

17 May 2021

She was very knowledgeable in helping us with substitutes (either due to allergies or lack of availability of ingredients) for the recipes. The food was delicious, and a little challenging to cook/prepare, but she walked us through each step and helped us out if we were struggling with the recipe. The class is a full 2 hours, and she did the whole class in an hour and a half. She went very fast through some of the steps, and I had to keep asking what she wanted us to add to the food because I was 2-3 steps behind trying to get something else done. The recipe that cozymeal sent us before class was not how we prepared the meal. It was completely different.

Lauren

16 May 2021

Chef was patient, encouraging, and talented. Can’t wait to try more classes!

Chef Rishika was great! Awesome pacing, always doing something. Very good at helping people get where they need to with their dish. The food was delish!

We had so much fun taking Chef Rishika's Indian Street Food Class! She did an incredible job making sure everyone in the class was getting individual attention, and provided helpful feedback throughout the class. She was friendly, funny, and super patient. The food was delicious and we've been enjoying the leftovers! Thank you, Chef!

Jason

02 May 2021

Chef Rishika teaches a really fun class. She is patient and warm throughout. We did this class as an early Mother’s Day activity with four different households from my family and it was a huge hit!

Beth

01 May 2021

Chef Rishika was wonderful! She helped a couple of our groups less experienced cooks through the recipes with encouragement and positivity. She was also able to quickly make suggestions for substitutions and add ons to the recipes for those of us who wanted a little spice. The food was delicious and the class was fun!

Tracy

Chef Rishika works wonders for the non-cook. Extremely encouraging, patient, and great instruction! Had a blast with friends and my meal was delicious with a pretty presentation! Thank you Chef Rishika!

This class exceeded all of my expectations! Chef Rishika was engaging and knowledgeable and made teaching everyone at once look easy. The naan bread we made was AMAZING and the chicken tikka masala was a big hit as well! I really enjoyed myself. Highly recommended! Thank you! :)

Ann

23 Apr 2021

This was my first time trying any online cooking class, and I had a great time! I came away learning much more than I would have if I had tried to tackle the same recipes on my own. A big thanks to Chef Rishika, who led our group through various steps with expert guidance, grace, and humor. It was rewarding to see my own delicious meal and those of others come together! And more rewarding to eat it after class. :)

Carolyn

20 Apr 2021

This class was fantastic! The food we made was delicious and Chef Rishika wonderful to work with! I highly recommend this class and know you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy Carolyn

Chef Rishika was amazing! My friends and I loved the class. She did a great job of guiding the class, looking at each of our dishes to provide personalized feedback, and was so fun to interact with!! I highly recommend this class and would look to take another class with Chef Rishika again.

Katie

12 Apr 2021

We did this class as a fun at-home activity for our anniversary and couldn't be happier with our experience. It was so informative and fun! Chef Rishika was super helpful, and the chicken tikka masala and naan we ended up with was unbelievably good. Thanks so much for an awesome experience!

Jane

11 Apr 2021

This really felt like a cooking class - Chef Rishika made a point to check in with everyone at the tricky points in the recipes, so we could get feedback on how our paratha dough looked, whether our parathas were browning correctly, etc. My only quibble was with the pre-class instructions - the recipes said that the ingredients were for one person, but they clearly were enough for 2, and it was a little unclear how much onion went where (and whether chopped or petals). Very small concerns for a great class, resulting in delicious food!

Laura

11 Apr 2021

Chef Rishika led a wonderful class! Easy to follow and we ended up with great Indian food. She was very interactive and helpful. I will definitely sign up for one of her classes again.

Lauren

Rishika’s class was really helpful, and I liked that she checked in with everyone along the way and gave feedback individually. The meal turned out well!

Jocelyn

29 Mar 2021

Rishika was absolutely excellent to watch and learn from, she was always making sure we were doing okay and that our food looked like what it was supposed to. The lost star isn't about Rishika, but about cozymeal - both my friend and I got the wrong prep info, I couldn't even get to the recipes because I was invited by my friend instead of booking directly. I'm following Rishika on Insta now and will follow her recipes there, but I won't be coming back to Cozymeal.

Janalee

28 Mar 2021

Class was fantastic! Family finished food in 2 days. Looking forward to another class.

Joshua

24 Mar 2021

We booked this class with Chef Rishika as a staff event for our office. Rishika was excellent and brought a lot of energy to our session. She engaged with our group, encouraged fun and overall, created a fantastic experience for us. The recipes were delicious and easy to follow. If I had the option, this review would be for 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only reason that we are not giving 5 out of 5 stars is that there was confusion over preparation instructions, ingredients and measurements amongst most of our staff. Other than that, full marks!

Mariah

24 Mar 2021

Chef Rishika was great! Interested in all the individual students, made sure we all had the help we needed and delicious food at the end! I would highly recommend!

Laina

22 Mar 2021

Chef Rishika was wonderful! We had so much fun, and with her directions cooking felt easy. The food was delicious, and she answered all of our questions. I will be making this recipe again, and would love to take another class with Chef Rishika. Highly recommend!

Sarah

22 Mar 2021

Wonderful class and great food - hard to beat good chicken tikka masala and homemade naan! Chef Rishika was laid back and helpful with any questions!

Olof

20 Mar 2021

Chef Rishika was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. She was very attentive and gave great feedback as we cooked. She stressed the importance of reading the recipes and instructions ahead of time and I'm glad I did because having all of the ingredients chopped and prepped made it easier to follow along and stay on track. We made our dough ahead of time based off of a previous review but she did end up making the dough with everyone right in the beginning (although I did learn some new tricks for the next time I make it). One thing I wish we would have done was introduce ourselves in the beginning because it's a small group and it would have been fun if we knew each other a little and where we were all joining from. Overall, it was a fun experience and I will definitely sign up for another class.

Lath

15 Mar 2021

The class was great. Chef Risika was patient and very sweet with us newbies. She answered all our questions and waited for some of us to catch up. The chicken tikka and naan turned out great. My family really enjoyed the home made meal. She was an awesome instructor.

Lauren

10 Mar 2021

This was a wonderful cooking class! We chose this as a birthday gift for our mom, which allowed my sister and me to celebrate with her from a distance. Chef Rishika gave great explanations and made what we thought was going to be a complicated recipe seem so easy and manageable. We have so much delicious paratha and are excited to make more soon!

Amanda

09 Mar 2021

The class was great! We had so much fun! Chef Rishika made sure to make the whole class feel included and was ready and willing to answer any questions we had. And the food was delicious!

Lisa

08 Mar 2021

Chef Rishika was great. This is the first online cooking class I have ever taken and I have already signed up for more. The food was delicious and the 90minutes flew by. Make sure to have everything prepped and ready to go and you will end the class with a great meal!

Dirk

Fun experience and yummy food. Nice pace and I like that Rishika checks in to see how we were progressing. Thank you!

Chef Rishika's class was so much fun & the food was delicious! Great instructions and pace, and I appreciated how she checked in with each participant every step of the way.

Christopher

07 Mar 2021

Chef Rishika is absolutely fantastic. She guided us through a couple Indian street food recipes that normally we'd probably not be confident enough to prepare. She made it easy and fun, and she was extremely patient with us when we momentarily fell behind. We are definitely going to take another class from her!

Peggy

07 Mar 2021

Rishika was awesome! Very cheery, friendly and helpful! And patient! We have cooked a few Indian dishes before but with her we used some ingredients we hadn’t used previously and the food was delicious! We would highly recommend her!

This is such a great class. She has a great sense of humor and made class a lot of fun. And the food turned out amazing.

Linda

28 Feb 2021

I enjoyed this class very much. I have been to India and done some Indian cooking but these were new dishes to me. Chef Rishika kept a good pace and was encouraging and flexible all the way. The class was over just in time for dinner and my husband and I really enjoyed it a lot. (There is more for tomorrow!) This was my first online class and already I would like to do another one! Thank you Chef! Rishika for a positive first experience!

Marissa

26 Feb 2021

We had set up this as a fun cooking night with friends who were also attending this class. The flavors of the bechamel sauce and the tiramisu are simply fantastic! We enjoyed getting together to do this. There were a few things that could have been improved. 1) Knowing this is a pasta making class, I specifically looked to the Kitchen Equipment section to ensure we wouldn't need any special equipment. The day of the class we received our confirmation along with a note that we need a pasta machine. 2) In reading the recipes it said that the dough needed to chill for an hour. There were no instructions to make this ahead, but I wanted to make sure it had enough time to chill, so I did so in advance. In the class we were instructed to take our dough out of the fridge and many others hadn't prepared it yet. 3) The recipe measurements were shown in the metric system. It would have been great to have had a conversion on the recipe cards in advance. We quickly got lost between the quick fire instructions and applying a conversion. 4) There were some ingredients on the recipe card that we weren't instructed to use and some that we needed that weren't on there (i.e. cocoa powder for the tiramisu). 5) None of us in the class had the filling right. There must have been some miscommunication that we all followed, because it was too loose and we had to improvise with flour and cornstarch to thicken it to use in our ravioli. 6) We just finished attempting to thicken our filling and turned back around to the zoom to find out it ended on all of us. Our friends and us setup our own Zoom meeting after we were cut off so we could finish making the meal together.

Had a great time with Chef Rishika! She was friendly and super helpful with multiple different substitute suggestions if you didn’t have the exact ingredients. Would highly recommend the class. Food was super tasty

Kim

22 Feb 2021

Absolutely delicious results and very friendly, inclusive, and knowledgeable chef. Note for others considering this class: we were very glad we followed the instructions to prep ahead of time, and that there were 2 of us (class moves at a brisk pace, and we are slow cooks ;)

Kahikina

Lori

22 Feb 2021

This was my first class through CozyMeal and I loved it! Chef Rishika was engaging, knowledgeable, and very helpful. She managed a full class beautifully and was able to help those experiencing issues while keeping the class moving along! The food was incredible! I highly recommend taking this class! You won’t be disappointed!

Mark

22 Feb 2021

Our family loved our cooking event with Chef Rishika! She was patient, helpful, and humorous as she guided us through making naan (something we weren't sure we could do)! Would definitely recommend her and consider taking some of her other classes.

Fiona

21 Feb 2021

Friendly and knowledge chef... the class was a lot of fun. Chef Rishika was able to help us troubleshoot and engage with everyone via Zoom. Highly recommended!

Brooke

14 Feb 2021

We absolutely loved the way everything tasted, but the duration of the experience was more than double as long as it was supposed to be (3 hours)... which made for a pretty ravenous audience! The vino helped to fill our bellies for a short while, but you know how any sort of fermented beverage on an empty stomach goes lol. We're happy to have gleaned some culinary tricks to put into practice in our own kitchen, so many thanks for that, Chef!

Chef Rishika was interactive, gave good feedback, and was patient . The class was very fun and the food turned out amazing. Thanks so much for a great experience!

Bob

01 Feb 2021

Chef Rishika was wonderful. The recipes were great, and she checked in with all of our participants along the way to make sure we were following along ok. Some of us mis-measured a few ingredients, and Chef Rishika was able to notice that something didn’t quite look right, and she was able to intervene and help correct. She also managed the video tech very well with our group of older generations :-) The recipes were very good and flavorful - I can’t believe those flavors came from my kitchen! We are all excited to make these recipes again soon.

Gina

31 Jan 2021

This class exceeded my expectations! What a fun way to spend the evening. Rishika taught us how to improvise along the way while being encouraging and teaching us some tricks as well as some new ways to make a classic pizza. Enjoyed her company and the food was delicious!

Samantha

28 Jan 2021

Rishika and the meal were both awesome! This was my first Cozymeal class, and I do feel the mix of both cooking and technical aptitude amidst a group of strangers is a struggle, but Rishika managed it well and the class was a fun experience.

Maria

27 Jan 2021

Enjoyed the class. I can definitely make this again. My family enjoyed it and gave me the thumbs up to make it again. My kids ages are 3, 4, two teens, and 20 year old. Thank you Chef Rishika.

Katherine

25 Jan 2021

Rishika was fantastic! I booked a private virtual class for my family. There were 6 different households dialed in, and to make it more complicated, one household had kids who were helping cook, and one was quadrupling the given recipe. She was so patient and helpful, making sure everyone was keeping up and was able to make it from beginning to end. We loved the food, and had a great time!

Lea

24 Jan 2021

The chicken tikka masala and homemade naan was incredible. I will make this meal again!

Ella

21 Jan 2021

This was so awesome, Rishika was really fun and knowledgeable and WOW was the recipe ever good! She was super patience with us all. So happy we chose this one! Im really happy that we read the reviews. It wasnt clear on the outline that everything had to be prepped ahead of time.

Bradley

21 Jan 2021

Chef Rishika was great and the food was delicious. However, the prep work instructions were not as clear as other classes, so be sure to review the ingredients list and recipes very carefully before hand.

Bonnie

20 Jan 2021

Chef Rishika was wonderful and very informative! Highly recommend.

Janet

16 Jan 2021

Chef Rishika was great and it was great fun. The only problem was the recipe we received in advance was slightly different than the recipe used in the class.

Marla

14 Jan 2021

Good class but you should have everything ready to go before the class. The chef goes quickly! Food was great.

John

14 Jan 2021

Chef Rishika was pleasant and knowledgeable. However, the ingredient list and recipes were not the same as the ones used in the experience. Because of this, I bought mustard oil expressly for the lesson, but Chef Rishika informed us it is illegal to use mustard oil to cook with in the United States. That was just one example. Also, this class would be best with at least two people. I was alone and felt rushed to do everything, and I am very comfortable in the kitchen. Someone else working with me would have been more enjoyable.

Julien

11 Jan 2021

Thank you chef! we had a great time and the food was delicious :-)

Lauren

10 Jan 2021

Great chance to learn a new cuisine! I never would have dared to try these recipes on my own but Chef Rishika made it totally accessible. I also was able to easily gift the course and they loved it! Was so fun to cook together even though we are apart. My only feedback is that it would have been to give more details about equipment needed (ie number of bowls, blender, etc) in advance. Note to self: DO prep and measure in advance!!!! Chef Rishika was so patient but it wouldn’t have been easier if we’d all been more prepared. Great experience, would definitely take another Cozymeal course.

Chef Rishika was an excellent teacher and kept the class moving at a perfect pace. She always had the answer on what to substitute when a student didn’t have all the ingredients. End product tasted great!

I enjoyed the class. The food was delicious (and we had enough leftovers for today!) and Rishika was kind and helpful during the class! I will say that I thought the class was too fast. My husband and I are good in the kitchen and we felt rushed, maybe because we were trying to cook for two people. I think the menu could be accomplished with less rush if it were made more clear before the class that you should premeasure everything out into bowls before starting. We had all of the ingredients out but did not pre-measure, and since the instructor was cooking for one, and we were cooking for two, it took us more time to chop and prepare ingredients so it felt like we were rushing. That said, this was our first class and we would definitely do another class with Rishika! Next time we might not double the recipe, since it was definitely enough for two people to eat! We will definitely make this food again.

Chef Rishika was awesome! She is so prepared, engaged with us immediately and gave great 'secret' tips for all sorts of things from corriander to delicious juice ideas. All of that AND the food, paratha and aloo chaat, were delicious!! We will look to take a class from her again! Great night!!!

We have done three cozymeals. All of them were great, but Chef Rishika's was far and above the other ones. She was very patient with everyone and was there to lead, help, and instruct. She talked to each person in the class several times to confirm they were following along. She was clearly invested in the outcomes of everyone in the class. Plus, the food was delicious.

Rishika, you did a wonderful job! My wife and I enjoyed your class a lot and look forward to making that meal again and again. :) When giving the ingredients and how much, if you could repeat that part..we would make a noise, or a comment to each other, and miss what you said. We hate to slow up the class to ask too many questions. Please know you were very welcoming and were patient with all of us. :D. We hope to take another class with you. Mark and Kellie

Rishika was a thorough professional and a great teacher! She brings together a very fine understanding of nuances of cooking while explaining why are we doing something in a particular way! Very very engaging! My finacee and I had a great time as she loves Italian and doing a cooking class together was the perfect way to usher in the new year! I highly recommend this class by Rishika!

Chef Rishika is lovely, the online class format was fun, and the food we made was unbelievably delicious. The written recipes that we received beforehand were quite different from what we ended up doing in the class (in quantities, ingredients, and directions) so that ended up creating some confusion and stress for me during the quick-paced class. But in the end I would up with an incredible dinner that my family loved, and the know-how to do it again. Thanks for a fun and informative afternoon!

Such a delightful evening! Chef Rishika was sweet, kind, and resourceful. She asked to check consistency along the way by asking us to show her our progress. Chef definitely knows her way around the kitchen! My husband and I couldn't get enough of everything we made ~ it was all absolutely delicious! We'll definitely be connecting with Chef Rishika for additional Indian-inspired dishes in the future. Thanks, Chef! If you're signing up for this class, get to know your community by seeking out your local uncle and auntie at an Indian grocery store! You'll be thankful that you did!

I'll start with saying that the food was delicious. I had a hard time following the chef though. I found myself confused about ratios of food I was supposed to be using a few times. I was also lost at which recipe we were working on at any given moment. It would be a good idea to send a more elaborate email with your expectations of what should be prepped (flour should be measured and in a bowl, cauliflower should be grated, etc). I would also put the serving amounts and ratios on the recipe. There were a few times that we started making a recipe and the food ratios would be mentioned after we already mixed a few items (flour should be 75% whole wheat/white- I think most people used a 50/50 ratio because this wasn't mentioned until after the dough was made). Make sure that people are very aware of ratios so they can modify the servings they are making.

This was such a great class. It was my first time cooking Indian food. The teacher was really good. Lots of personalized attention if u need it (and I did). The food was the best!

We loved our class! Chef Rishika provides very good step by step instruction and pays lots of personal attention to attendees. The food was delicious. Our only comment would be to provide more detailed instructions about what people should do ahead of time to prepare. That said, we were able to keep up and make all of the dishes without doing any prep beforehand.

Chef Rishika was fantastic. The recipes were actually very simple to follow and she explained the steps as we went. It was also great to hear some of the tips and tricks along the way. I'd be happy to do another class with her.

Chef Rishika was really great. She is patient and easy to get along with. She was very thorough an explaining things and letting the guests do it as well. I booked a lesson with her for my brother’s 30th birthday and he really enjoyed the experience! Thank you!

Chef Rishika made this evening so enjoyable! Her knowledge of the cuisine was spectacular. She not only made sure that my girlfriend and I understood each step of the cooking process, but she was also lovely to get to know. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Your review on Cozymeal: Chef Rishika was so lovely and hospitable. We had an amazing time cooking Italian cuisine with her, and learning from her extensive knowledge about cooking from having worked all over the world. I highly recommend booking a cooking lesson with Chef Rishika!

We had a wonderful evening and made a great meal picking up all kinds of techniques for preparing and cooking food. Chef Rishika made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived and shared lots of anecdotes from her experiences cooking around the world. The evening was not at all rushed - she allowed the time necessary to prepare and cook a truly delicious meal.

It was an amazing funny and learning evening! Chef Rishika is a very kind woman. We had a very good moment and the meal was delicious ! Thanks to Jonathan too. Both of them were the best cooking teacher of Toronto. Can't wait to learn again with them :) I think it was the best gift idea I had. I recommend 100%

Chef Rishika has some great culinary knowledge to share and does so in a warm and inviting way. Her demonstrations and teaching will walk you through understanding not only the how but also the why. You will learn about the ingredients and why they are prepared and mixed in a particular order. Chef Rishiki will also tell you where the ingredients are available locally so that you too will be in the know!
