There were 5 of us in the class, and we all had a wonderful experience with Chef Stacy! The Thai dishes we made along with the Mai Tai, were really delicious and loved that it was flexible enough to improvise and add substitute ingredients. We were able to incorporate shrimp or chicken. Chef Stacy made everything very easy and fun to do. Loved starting the class with Mai Tai's, I think that was a great way to get everyone feeling comfortable. I would most definitely do another class with Chef Stacy, and I highly recommend this Thai dish. It's very forgiving when it comes to how it's prepared, so you don't have to feel pressured in exact measurements etc. I would make this recipe again on my own.

Great class, great chef. Crystal loved her birthday present and we plan to do this again! Thank you so much Chef Stacy for an amazing experience!!

Chef Stacy was incredible! We had an amazing lesson on vegan sushi. Stacy was easy going and provided excellent instruction, and made the most of our small kitchen space (don't feel like you can't do this if you have a small kitchen- ours is tiny and she made it work effortlessly!). My fiance bought this as a birthday present and it was by far my favorite gift! Now we have the skills we need to make vegan sushi at home any time. Stacy is a delight. Thank you!!!

Excellent class and amazing teacher!! This is a super fun activity in a rainy winter day! No need to go anywhere and a delicious outcome! I surprised my husband with a birthday gift and invite our son and his girlfriend who is away at college to join! I’m pretty sure I’m going to start a trend here!!

The food was delicious. The class was well worth the money. I would have spent way more if I went to brunch in a physical restaurant, and I can control the quality of the ingredients. Doing the prep work before the class was very helpful. We will definitely so another class with Chef Stacy.

Chef Stacy was very thorough in her explanation of not only how to cook the meals, but why we are cooking the meals. I appreciated the way she took the time to explain the importance of a whole food diet and how that helps our minds and bodies. Thanks Chef Stacy for the delicious Vegan meal prep ideas!

Theresa
31 Jan 2022
The food turned out excellent, and I learned a lot. My only comment is that I followed the instructions and prepared ahead of time, which often left me far ahead of others in the group - the class took over 1 hr 45 mins, and I ended up leaving before it was done due to another commitment (although my cooking was completed 20+ mins before I left - things were getting cold as I waited for others).
Gabriel

Thank you so much for a great class - I saved about half the falafel balls for dinner and made them tonight and they were a hit (as well as the cocktail)!

Chef Stacy was great! She gave us tricks & tips for prepping, cleaning & shopping as well as great directions for our menu. A few friends & I registered together, super fun way to 'be' with friends even when we can't really be. This is my 2nd CozyMeal class & I'll definitely take another Chef Stacy's class.

Stacy was fantastic! I had such a fun morning preparing a delicious Valentine's brunch. I could have never made it on my own! Can't wait to do it again.
Nicole
14 Feb 2021
She was very knowledgeable and responsive to questions. There seemed to be some errors in the recipe though, there was way too many vegetables left over from the spring rolls and it said to add garlic instead of green onions. It would also be helpful to have better suggestions for the noodles.... I had trouble getting the right consistency.

Chef Stacy is great! Showed up right on time although it was raining heavily outside. Explained everything very thoroughly as she went along. The only negative thing I have to say is that I personally thought we would help doing more of the cooking, more hands on. It’s not, she cooks everything and explains what and why she’s doing, which is still great.

My hubby and I purchased this experience as a Christmas gift for 3 of our grown children and their spouses (and us, of course :)). We loved every moment. Chef Stacy was very informative and WONDERFUL at her craft! We had a blast with her!!! I've been cooking all of my life and I learned several 'tricks of the trade'. I would HIGHLY recommend her....and her cooking class! Love Love Love!

Chef Stacy is a sweet, passionate woman who has accomplished so much in her life and business. She lends a realness to cooking that brings a grounded approach to food. She wants to make healthy delicious looking food and do it in a way that's easy to recreate at home. Take her class, you won't be disappointed.

Our office booked a cooking class with Chef Stacy to celebrate the holidays and whipped up hot chocolate and various chocolate barks. The recipes were easy to follow and fit within a perfect amount of time to accommodate our workday (1.5 hours). It was a fun and social event, and I appreciate Chef Stacy chatting and engaging with us, as well as sharing some of her pro cooking and prep tips!

Michelle
26 Mar 2024
Chef Stacy was very thorough and I learned a lot from her! She kept the class to 1.5 hours. The only things I would suggest is to provide the instructions for the rice in advance to speed things up a bit. I would also either reduce the recipes listed or work on them while the rice is cooking because we did not use some of the ingredients we bought. It was a great class overall, though!

Chef Stacy was personable, knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic. The menu and recipes were great, and we appreciated her encouraging participants to ask questions during the class. The reason for a 4-star rather than a 5-star review is that even with all of the assigned prep work done beforehand, it was very difficult to accomplish all of the tasks in the time frame allotted. This would be more relaxed and enjoyable as a 2 hour rather than a 90 minute class.

If we had the proper ingredients, it would have been great. The e-mail should have have noted the change in menu from when we signed up. We had everything prepped for the old menu of power bowl and wraps. We ended up watching hungrily. Can’t wait to make the lasagna.

Chef Stacy was wonderful! It was our first Cozymeal experience and a great one. Even before the event I emailed her and she was super responsive answering! Great communication. In our event, there were 3 couples, a perfect group. Chef Stacy carefully explained all the steps with lots of extra cooking tips. Was super fun, healthful, and would definitely do it again soon with her and more Cozymeal events. It is a great way to have fun....

I thoroughly enjoyed this class with Chef Stacy! A fun activity for a birthday or other celebration with friends/family. The recipes make enough for 4 people, so make sure to accommodate for that when buying ingredients for more/less people. It was helpful to have a little experience in the kitchen (how to use a frying pan, cut veggies, etc.) but Chef Stacy will provide demonstrations if you ask. The peanut sauce was addictively good, by the way.

Not only was the food amazing, but you can tell she truly cares about what she is doing through her detailed explanations throughout the food prep/cooking process! Chef Stacy is fun, professional, talented, and very passionate about food and health. We will no doubt be booking her again soon, thanks Chef!

Thanks, Stacy!

Chef Stacy was AMAZING!
Her professional understanding of the culinary art is second only to her ability to teach and show her customers a good time. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our 2yr anniversary with Chef Stacy and no questions asked would do it over again. Can't wait for the next time we are in SD and able to experience Chef Stacy's other courses.

We had the Filet Mignon & Lobster Tail dinner prepared for us by Chef Stacy. We enjoyed the food and the experience! At the beginning of the dinner Chef Stacy explained we could put on aprons and help or sit back and watch an expert create an amazing dinner - the level of participation was up to us. My 20 year old niece decided to help out a bit and learned to butterfly lobster tail. We also learned some knife skills and pointers about shopping for the foods we would be eating. I feel, after all the tips and clear instructions, I could prepare this meal in the future. And what a meal it was!! From the poke appetizer to the delicious filet and lobster tail with sides to the lava cakes for dessert we had an amazing meal. Food quality was superior. I feel we received much value for what we paid for the experience. Chef Stacy shopped, prepared the meal and cleaned up! I really enjoyed this first Cozymeal experience and am sure I will pick other events in the future. Thank you Chef Stacy for creating such an enjoyable event for our dinner!!
