Maggie was so organized and prepared for our class. She taught us some great professional techniques, the meal was delicious and we have such a better understanding of vegan cooking techniques. By the end of class we were both flipping our own crepes!

Booked the class Ultimate Vegetarian Dumplings with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

Such a fun night! Chef Eddie was an amazing teacher, giving detailed instructions plus individual feedback and recommendations to everyone who attended. He also taught us a ton about soy sauces and how to mix different ingredients together to make the perfect dumpling dipping sauce. And of course all the food was exceptionally delicious. We've already discussed looking for more Chef Eddie classes to attend in the future!

Booked the class Vegan Dinner in Tuscany with Chef Maggie in South Bay & Peninsula (Menlo Park)

This was fun, informative, and delicious! Maggie made a custom menu for us and was extremely positive and accommodating. She was extremely professional and prepared, and she was totally unfazed by our rather small kitchen. Highly recommend!

Nishchay S. November, 2024

Booked the class Vegan French Cooking Class with Chef Maggie in San Francisco (Outer Richmond)

Maggie was such a fantastic teacher and made amazingly flavorful food for us! I don't usually expect delicious Vegan European food, but this surpassed all my expectations. My favorite dish of the night was the ratatouille with each flavor note standing out beautifully and paired perfectly with a simple baked potato topped with hollandaise sauce. Yum! The best part was that all the dishes being so simple and healthy, are easily replicable any other time at home. We definitely learned a lot and cannot recommend her enough! Truly a wonderful birthday surprise!

Booked the class Traditional Pork Dumpling Masterclass with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

What a terrific experience this was. Eddie was outstanding. I'm a school leader, and I know a good teacher when I see one - Eddie is top notch. He gave clear, kind instructions. Everyone got better in a hurry, and we had fun along the way. He was so thoughtful in the construction of the experience over the course of the evening. Couldn't recommend this experience more highly!

Daniel M. June, 2024

Booked the class Traditional Pork Dumpling Masterclass with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

10/10 this was an amazing class, and I strongly recommend it! Chef Eddie taught us how to prepare the dumpling dough from scratch. This consisted the kneading, the resting, the breaking off pieces, rolling them out, how to stuff and cook them. What I really appreciated what how creative he was in his teaching methods. For demonstration and practice, he had a rough practice dough for us to practice with while our dough was resting. He even had us practice pleating with Playdo, which I thought was brilliant! There was even a little camera to project what his fingers were doing onto a large TV, so that watch either the finesse of the fingers or the larger view. Chef Eddie also made sure to check in on how we were doing, and provided regular and frequent feedback so that we learned how to do everything correctly. And it worked - all the dumplings in our class survived! In addition, he also demonstrated how to braise pork belly (which was delicious), and how to prepare Tang Yuan as a rice-flour dessert variant of the dumpling. Chef Eddie had us try various soy sauces so that we could experience how they vary in flavor an quality, and also explained to us the stories and cultural significance of these dishes. I absolutely loved this class, and if any of my friends express curiosity in how to make dumplings I will immediately direct them to Chef Eddie. If I could take it again, I would!

Eddie was awesome. He’s an incredible teacher - went to great length to impart some really useful info, without being tedious. He was super engaging the whole time, had everyone making some exquisite looking dumplings by the end of the night, and his recipes were amazing! I can’t say enough good things. Definitely check him out.

Chef Dirk was amazing. I booked this class for my friends birthday and we had so much fun! The food was delicious and Dirk was a great host and instructor. My friend can be a bit shy but Dirk made the entire environment light and really enjoyable. We would absolutely take another class with Chef Dirk. And we wouldn't mind being friends with him.

Teddy S. February, 2020

Booked the class Wood Fired Neapolitan Style Pizza with Chef Phoebe in San Francisco (West Portal)

Was hoping it was a bit more in depth like getting the fire going or making the dough. Just rolling the dough and adding toppings to put in the oven wasn't what I had expected. To be fair, Phoebe did answer questions but the focus then got further diluted in making donuts and gelato ... I thought I signed up for a wood fired pizza making class

Booked the class Advanced Pasta: An Italian Heritage with Chef Ryan in San Francisco (Mission)

Great introduction to the science of pasta and the landscape of things you can do with 4 ingredients. We got to explore color and texture and make 3 very different pastas (and 3 meals worth of food) in the 2-hour session. Definitely recommended.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our first ever Cozymeal experience with Chef Dirk. He graciously welcomed us into his beautiful home and we immediately felt comfortable. Chef Dirk kept our attention, made the class fun and entertaining, all the while having us learn how to prepare the dishes we were about to eat. We had tons of fun preparing the meal and the food was delicious of course! Chef Dirk even had made the visit even more personal by celebrating my wife's birthday. We will definitely be back for another class in the future!

Chef Daniel was awesome! My fiance and I love to cook and wanted to do our engagement photos cooking. Chef Daniel's kitchen is so spacious and open and perfect for a big group. He accommodated our strange request to do our engagement photos during the cooking class. The food was delicious and Chef Daniel loves to teach and explain techniques while cooking. I think everyone came away from the class with new skills. Would definitely take another class with Chef Daniel. Thank you!!

Chef Dirk was so gracious in inviting us into his home (which happens to be the most gorgeous home.) He ensured that our experience was amazing from the beginning. Every person got a turn on every aspect of the meal, and chef Dirk was so great about making sure this happened. He was very personable and had a great balance of sharing personal annnectodes while at the same time listening to those who were a part of the class! Lastly, the food was absolutley amazing. I felt like I walked out of the experience knowing more about cooking and feeling more confident in the kitchen! Would highly recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful culinary experience at Chef Dirk's lovely residence in San Francisco. It was a fun hands-on experience cooking a lovely Italian spread that consisting of a four course meal. Chef Dirk was very friendly and knowledgable and made the entire experience absolutely awesome! Thanks a ton Chef Dirk!

I left another review for this same experience - but I had 2 reservations so I'm leaving 2 reviews! We had a great evening with Chef Dirk and I wholeheartedly recommend this as a great evening out!

Brian L. January, 2019

Booked the class Sophisticated French Feast with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)

Wow! We had an absolute blast with Dirk - an excellent evening out and much more interesting and engaging than just going out for dinner. The cooking class was advertised to be 3 hours but we ended up leaving staying and enjoying our food for another 90 minutes. Dirk was a pleasure to be with, we learned a bit about cooking, and we spent a lovely evening in his beautiful home. I am glad I did this and I look forward to the opportunity to do it again!
