Booked the event Exciting Dumpling Duos with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

A huge thank you to Chef Parsati for such an incredible cooking class experience! Learning how to make both vegetarian and chicken dumplings from scratch was so much fun, but what made it even more special was how much knowledge she shared along the way. Not only did we learn cooking techniques, but she also taught us about the nutritional value of using fresh herbs and ingredients to season the filling naturally. The passion, patience, and care she brought to the experience made it unforgettable. Amazing food, amazing energy, and an amazing teacher — we loved every minute of it and can’t wait to take another class!

Booked the class Adventures In Thai Cooking with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

We took the adventures in Thai Cooking with Chef Elham. Loved it. Small class--3 couples so each worked on a separate recipe. Chef went over ingredients, how to prepare them, shared with us many of the unique ingredients and how to get them. The food was amazing, I left feeling like I could make any of these dishes at home, and cant wait to try them.

Booked the class Perfecting Sushi Rolls with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

We had a great time! Chef Elham opened up her home to us, had all the ingredients ready and provided a nice set up. There were 8 people in the class which made it a lot more fun. Such a great experience. The downside to it (nothing to do with the chef) the app needs to be more clear on the area that you’re booking the class in… And… There needs to be more communication before they take your money. This is legit class and the company is real. The way they book the class makes you feel like it is a scam. Other than that, Chef Elham made it a positive and fun experience.

Booked the event Master Italian Classics with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)

I found Chef Joni Sare on Cozymeal and booked her for my team offsite as my 3 other team members found her Master Italian Classics Cooking Class to be a fun learning experience. Boy were we right. If you don't read my full review, all I can say is that Chef Joni was an EXCELLENT instructor and my team members and I had such a good time. We were smiling ear-to-ear the entire time we were there. Highly recommended from this reviewer. Detailed review below: Communication (5/5): We used the Cozymeal platform for everything and found their interface amazing. Chef Joni was very pro-active and communicated with me several times before the event date on January 17, 2020. What stood out about this communication was that she really wanted to know us. She asked good questions like "Why did you choose this class?", "What do you hope to learn from it?", "What are your goals?" etc. Really appreciate this since she can cater the class to exactly your needs. She was also very accommodating when I told her that one of our team members was a vegetarian so she made sure she had a vegetarian option on hand during our class. Finally, before the event, she gave us extremely detailed directions to the location of the event (including a picture) and what to expect. Really outstanding communication here. Location (5/5): Her location is in her house located in Sunnyvale near major highways. Lots of street parking once you arrive so no issues on parking. The inside is well decorated and everything seems to be remodeled including her kitchen which was very modern. See pics to get an idea. Food (5/5): The Master Italian Classics Cooking Class contains the following menu: 1.) Antipasti - Cheese, crackers, almonds, pepper jelly to snack on throughout the whole meal while you are there 2.) Handmade Fettuccine Alfredo 3.) Ragu (Mushrooms, many vegetables) - Our protein was lamb for the meat-eaters and tofu for our vegetarian team member. 4.) Tiramisu - for dessert. I don't want to spoil too much of the class but I'll share some of the highlights for me at least. Preparing the Fettuccine Dough from scratch including folding it, kneading it, was a really fun experience. Also running through the dough through the pasta machine to stretch it and finally cut it into actually the noodles was such a cathartic experience. I'm really happy I got to experience that. The Ragu was so delicious and so healthy at the same time as we barely used any vegetable oil and we put in so many vegetables. Finally, the tiramisu making was actually pretty easy but delicious at the same time. Now that I have been through how to make Tiramisu, I am confident I can make it for a party without issue. Also, if you can't finish all the food you make, Chef Joni gives you take-out boxes to bring home so you can enjoy the food again! Our group also had leftover uncooked fettuccine and we got to take that home. Chef Joni (5/5): Last but not least Chef Joni was an excellent instructor. She was so bubbly and easy to talk to and really put the group at ease very quickly. She was masterful on dividing up certain tasks in the kitchen so we can all participate in the cooking journey and made sure we were doing the steps properly. We asked her so many questions during our time in the class and she happily answered every single one of them without being annoyed. It was nice to finish the class with all of us including Chef Joni eating at the table. Chef Joni's passion for cooking really shines through her class and we had a great time! Our team can't wait to come back. Thank you Chef Joni for a great class.

Booked the event Refined Rustic Italian with Chef Ziva in South Bay & Peninsula (South Los Altos)

Our family of 10 had an amazing time celebrating our annual Day After Christmas Surprise! Chef Ziva’s kitchen was ready for our arrival with all the ingredients organized and laid out on Chef’s long, long, long kitchen table. In our fettucini making class, Chef Ziva first demonstrated how to create the dough and then process it through the pasta making machine. Four of us were assigned to this task while the remaining six of our family was divided between making the bruchetta and preparing the creamy mushroom sauce that would be incorporated into the fettucini. Chef Ziva is a natural teacher - knowledgeable, patient, and caring. She made our cooking adventure enjoyable and memorable. Making our meal from scratch was not only a learning experience - it was a lot of fun, especially when we sat down in Chef Ziva’s dining room and shared the fruits of our labor making pasta...from scratch!

Chef Ziva was welcoming, enthusiastic, and my colleagues and I thoroughly enjoyed learning from her. Her instructions were good, and I was able to cook some of her recipes at home.

Booked the event Master Italian Classics with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)

I've done many cooking classes both personally and professionally and really loved Joni's style. She was so organized, well prepared and provided great guidance through the whole cooking experience. We connected earlier to make sure she was aware of the team dynamic and any special requests for drinks, allergies and such. As a result, she was prepared and managed all 9 of us really well. highly recommend her as an instructor. She's got lots of tips and tricks up her sleeve so you are sure to learn something even if you are a pro! Thank you Joni!

We enjoyed cooking paella with Jodi! We did the team building event and it was a lot of fun and very yummy!

Nancy O.

Booked the event Secrets of Paella with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)

Chef Joni's paella class was fabulous! The kitchen was beautiful. Chef Joni was so personable and knowledgeable. We learned about each ingredient, and how different ingredients can be substituted. It was very hands on. The paella tasted delicious, the sangria was sooo good, and the desert, Valencia Orange Cake melted in our mouths. I definitely recommend this class.

Booked the event Secrets of Paella with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)

Short review - "Chef Joni is amazing!". Long review - We went as a small group (size=8) and we cooked a big pot of Paella. Chef Joni was actively making sure everyone was involved and learned something new! She paced the evening with right amount of explanations pertaining to the recipe and general cooking concepts. She also graciously accommodated the request for a vegetarian paella by some of us. We had great fun and ate a great meal (including appetizers and a cake at the end!). Thank you Chef Joni for the fun evening :)

Alex R.

Booked the event Secrets of Paella with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)

Had a great time cooking with Joni on Mother's Day. The kitchen was huge with plenty or room for us. My wife, son and I prepared a meal that I believe we could reproduce at home in the future. My 10 year old learned some knife skills, some new kitchen hacks, was very involved in preparing the food, and gained more confidence in the kitchen overall. Oh, and the food was delicious! Great time all-around.

Stefanie D.

Booked the event Festive New American with Chef Joni in South Bay & Peninsula (Cupertino)

Came over for a Bachelorette Party, we had an amazing time. It was so much fun. Chef Joni is so personable. Contacting her was so easy, she asked lots of questions about the party before hand and tweeked our menu a bit to fit our girl's a bit more. Admittedly the girls were a bit unsure when we came in and Chef Joni was talking about a putting scallops in a martini with sauteed red peppers. They all thought she was crazy but the food drink was so fabulous and the best thing they had all night (maybe 'cause Chef Joni prepared this dish?).

Silvia B.

We had a lovely experience in our Pasta night with Joni. The gluten free pasta was amazing and the sausage mushroom ragú to die for. Thank you very much Joni!

Chef Joni is a wonderful chef and not only she explains in detail how to cook the listed menu, but she also took time to answer any other questions relating to cooking. I will recommend her to many of my friends that have interest in taking a cooking class! Thank you Chef Joni for giving a wonderful experience for my girlfriend and I!

My wife and I absolutely loved our cooking class with chef Joni! We definitely learned a lot about cooking but what made it special was how sweet chef Joni is and how enjoyable it was to cook and enjoy eating our food together. Would definitely try another class and bring friends with us!

Gretchen W.

It was overall fun, however, we needed to give one of the Paella's more time to cook and there was a ton leftover that was not offered to us.

Laura C.

Booked the class Perfecting Sushi Rolls with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

Chef Elham is a very nice lady! I definitely feel a lot more confident making sushi now, but I feel the class could have been a bit more strategical and organized. It was hard to move around in the space to get to some needed items. I also was a bit overloaded with all of the demos being completed at once and trying to remember everything once it was our turn. I could have taken notes though as I understand this is typical for a cooking class. We got to meet her dog who is wonderful, but he was barking for a long time in the back room and even though she was very apologetic, I couldn't help but still be irritated by it. I know it was only her 3rd class so I'm sure there will be much improvement as she continues her teaching endeavors.

Michelle R.

Booked the event Creative Cooking Challenge with Chef Roddy in San Jose (Campbell)

The classes were great! Everyone loved both classes. The service and food were too notch. The only thing I wish was that there was more competition, as it was billed as a competition team building experience. Otherwise, every single person (all 34 people at 2 separate events) absolutely loved it and are stilll raving about it from weeks ago.

James d.

Booked the event Exciting Dumpling Duos with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

We attended Chef Parsati's "Exciting Dumpling Duos" lunch cooking class on May 17th, and it was a fun experience! My daughter and I enjoyed bonding while learning to make fried vegetarian and steamed chicken dumplings in her clean, well-organized kitchen. The class is great for beginners or those looking for a casual, hands-on activity. While the recipes were simple and the pace felt a bit rushed, Chef Parsati’s expertise and professionalism stood out. The price was on the higher side, but that’s expected for Bay Area experiences. I’d love to work with Chef Parsati directly for a more personalized class in the future. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable time!

Veselin D.

Booked the event Classic Fare From Asia with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Nini P.

Booked the class Adventures In Thai Cooking with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

We signed up for the Thai cooking class with Chef Elham and had an incredible time. We’ve taken Cozymeal classes before- this by far was our favorite. Apart from the food being absolutely delicious, what stood out were the conversations with Chef Elham. We also walked away from the class with more confidence in the kitchen as a bonus. Thanks chef Elham for a great night, can’t wait to recreate the recipes at home!

Edward L.

Booked the class Adventures In Thai Cooking with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

Fun and instructional. Chef Elham made us feel right at home. Making delicious Thai food seemed out of reach for me, but now I am confident I can do it in my own kitchen.
