The class was great, both chef Mel and the tacos-salsa-sauce and the margaritas!

Chef Mel was excellent, however it was my first time using mangos, so I lost some time during the class. In future, I will ask for more info when using ingredients that I am not familiar with. The fish tacos, salsa and avocado cilantro sauce were delicious

We had the best time with Chef Mel. We learned how to properly use our knives and made the most delicious tacos and margaritas.

Informative. Fun time.

12 Dec 2020

The dishes were delicious and it was fun learning the cooking techniques Chef Mel used. One critique would be that she went very fast and it was hard to keep up. Overall a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using these recipes again.

Chef Mel was great! Not only did she walk us through a recipe, but I learned things I never knew before. Like how to cut a mango, how to cut an onion, and what ingredients to leave out if I am marinating over night. I really appreciated her knowledge in the kitchen!

Thank you - it was good time. I don't typically cook (my husband does), so it was nice to have a step-by-step cooking lesson with some tips.

Mel was a great teacher! Her recipes were accessible, she emphasized good knife technique and we geeked out about all things food the whole class. I’d highly recommend her for any class she teaches.

Rebecca

I had such an amazing time with Chef Mel! I had never been to a private cooking class before, but I felt so at home in Chef Mel's house. I love learning new recipes, and the rice paper samosas were so much fun to make! The small samosas were packed with flavor. Mel explained the whole process so I will be able to make them again at home. I definitely will be taking another Cozymeal class with her!

I needed to cater a corporate lunch for some health conscious, hard driving colleagues. Through word of mouth recommendation, I decided to use Mel. The lunch was a huge success. The presentation was beautiful, everyone raved about the food, the luncheon went off without a hitch and Mel was a joy to work with.

Lindsey

Meals are wonderful and full of nutrition. Mel is flexible with menus and really knows how to balance flavors. She did an event for 15 people, dinner and lunch, and everything was outstanding! Everyone raved about her!

I have an autoimmune disease, and I eat a clean, vegetarian and gluten-free diet. However, I was having trouble getting all the good meals I need during busy work weeks. I found Mel on thumbtack, and I have really loved her delicious and healthy meals that I can quickly heat up during the week! She is very responsive to my needs/requests and brings a variety of types of food from Thai, Indian, Greek and Italian (to name a few!). I don't get bored from eating the same thing and it is all so well seasoned and so tasty! So glad to have found Mel to help me with great meals to improve my health. I'm on my second month and no complaints!
