Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha
We had Chef Shasha for my sister’s birthday celebration and we had such a fantastic and memorable time. Chef Shasha is fun and she taught us so many things about baking and cooking. We made bruschetta, ravioli and fettuccine pasta as well as a rich chocolate mousse. This experience will be remembered forever and on top of that we have learned skills to make us better cooks/bakers. I would highly recommend Chef Shasha for your class. It is worth every dollar!
Tina W.
Booked the class Outdoor Farm-to-Table Feast with Chef Jordan W. in Escondido
What an incredible experience! Chef Jordan gave us far more than a meal, he gave us an education and a memory we'll be talking about for a long time. His knowledge of food as medicine was fascinating, and his calm, welcoming demeanor made the entire experience feel approachable and fun. The food itself was absolutely epic, but what really made the day special was everything we learned along the way. From proper knife skills to new ways to cut and prepare fruits and vegetables, Jordan shared techniques that will change how we cook at home. He even managed to convince our palates that not all peppers are created equal! Today was fun, unique, delicious, and exactly what we were hoping for as an anniversary cooking experience. Thank you, Jordan, for your generosity, your expertise, and for creating such a memorable day. We can't wait to cook with you again!

Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
Our team did Marta’s Italian cooking lesson as an offsite and it was a huge hit. Marta made everyone feel welcome, from beginners to foodies. Great instruction, lots of laughs, and amazing food. Perfect mix of skill-building + bonding. Highly recommend for any team looking for a unique activity. Thanks Marta for hosting us!
Alexis Y.
Booked the class Sushi-Centered Feast with Chef Krong in Del Mar
Super fun experience making sushi with Chef Krong! She was incredibly attentive and took the time to clearly explain each step, which made the whole experience even better. She also took photos for us and was so thoughtful about giving us space to enjoy dinner together. She wrapped everything up quickly and left the kitchen tighty. I’d definitely recommend booking with your partner, friends, or even for a company event!
Diana f.
Booked the class Classic Italian Desserts with Chef ShaSha in Chula Vista
We made Ricotta Cannoli, Panna Cotta, Ricciarelli and chocolate ganache. It was such a great family bonding experience and the desserts came out extremely delicious. My favorite dessert was the Panna Cotta. When I found this class on CozyMeal I knew I wanted to try something different and Chef Shasha was such a pleasant instructor.
Booked the class Pasta-Making Date Night with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (University City)
Chef ShaSha is such a delight! I booked this experience for my boyfriend’s birthday since he loves Italian food and has always wanted to learn how to make pasta from scratch. A few days prior to the event, Chef ShaSha called me and we chatted about the menu. Unfortunately her new ravioli maker hadn’t come in yet so we decided to pivot to making Pappardelle pasta with a red sauce instead. The morning of, she arrived early and brought all necessary items we needed (fresh and prepped ingredients, a pasta roller, etc). She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history behind our food items, given her culinary background and education, and very patient and flexible with us. I really enjoyed how hands-on we got to be. We aren’t the most outgoing people but Chef ShaSha immediately broke the ice and brought so much fun and laughter to the experience. Our food turned out amazing with her help, and most importantly my boyfriend loved the entire event. Can’t speak highly of her enough; would definitely recommend booking!
Ben S.
Booked the class Beginner-Friendly Sushi with Chef Paulo
We took the sushi class and learned how to do three types of rolls and hand rolls. Chef Paulo was super knowledgeable and approachable. It was a really fun experience learning how to cook the rice, cut the fish and other fillings, and learn how to roll them. We are all beginners and he helped make sure all of us were able to complete all of our rolls. I would absolutely recommend the class and chef Paulo personally
Soy K.
Booked the class Authentic Brazilian Feast with Chef Paulo in Chula Vista
We had the very amazing time with Paulo for the cooking class. All the dishes we cooked were absolutely delicious and he was so knowledgeable and provided many helpful tips for the future. Paulo, thank you for sharing your expertise and enthusiasm for cooking with fresh local ingredients. I look forward to the next class.
Booked the class Culinary Journey to Asia with Chef Adina in Del Mar
Such a fun girls’ night with Chef Adina! She was incredibly accommodating with my food allergy, which made the experience feel relaxed and personalized from the start. We made an amazing ahi dish together with my family, and the recipes were so approachable that we’ve already remade it at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and interactive night!
Ellie Y.
Booked the class Vegan Sushi for All with Chef Paulo in San Diego (Downtown)
Chef Paulo was awesome!! He was spot on in teaching us the basic of sushi making so we can make a variety of sushi rolls in the future. And we got a bonus of learning to make a hand roll. He was also very flexible and responsive in working with us on the menu/fish options. 10 stars would highly recommend and do it again!
Michael H.
Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (Clairemont)
We had an amazing time with chef ShaSha! She was very knowledgeable, sharing with us tips and tricks from her years of experience while also teaching us about the cuisine we were making. She asked what our preferences were before we started; if we wanted to be more hands on or hands off with the cooking and if we wanted any advice/input on our technique as we went. This helped curate an environment that made us comfortable and suited us best. Not only is chef ShaSha knowledgable, but she is fun and enjoyable to converse with. We had so much fun and would absolutely cook with her again! Thank you chef!
Zen B.
Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
Great! Exceeded my expectations. Chef Marty provides a charismatic experience that helps you understand not only how to cook like a chef, but I would argue, she teaches you how to think like a chef, paying attention to so many details I would normally overlook. Her approach is holistic, paying attention to timing, color, texture, aroma, even ambient humidity! And so much more that I learned last night, I can't list them all here. So many things go into what you see on the plate, and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher to help me appreciate the art of cooking. High recommendations from Zen. Thanks again Marty. I'll have to bust out my fresh pasta making skills for friends and family one of these days.
Sandra F.
Booked the class Classic Italian Desserts with Chef ShaSha in Chula Vista
Chef ShaSha was a delight. The deserts were extraordinary. Can’t wait to receive the recipes so I can make them for our next holiday dinner. Hopefully I get the same results without her supervision!
Booked the class Plant-Based Farm to Fork with Chef Jordan W. in Julian
My best friend gifted me this experience for my birthday and we had a fantastic night learning and enjoying a delicious menu with Chef Jordan. I would definitely recommend.
Dorothy L.
Booked the class Classic Italian Desserts with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (Del Cerro)
The Italian Desserts class with Chef Sasha was wonderful. She was informative and a lot of fun to learn from. We made Cannoli, Panna Cotta and Biscotti. All were delicious!
Yvonne R.
Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (Rancho Penasquitos)
Thank you Chef Sha Sha! We had a fabulous experience! Chef Sha Sha came to my house to teach us ladies how to make Bruschetta, Cannoli, and ravioli with tomato sauce (yum!!) from scratch. This was a birthday shindig. There were 5 of us. I have a small kitchen, but she was flexible with the workflow and made it happen. She stayed over the scheduled 3hr time because she took her time with each of us on the pasta machine. She's very patient, thorough, attention to detail, and ensured each of us was hands. She even quizzed us throughout. :) Chef explained the whys, the hows, the don'ts, and suggested options and alternatives. She is so personable and pleasant; good times! It really was a fun and unique experience. Our food came out picture perfect and sooo tasty! We highly recommend Chef Sha Sha for any cooking lessons.
Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
We had such an amazing experience with Marty! She is not only so knowledgeable but also so accommodating. My girlfriend and I learned so much about the history of Italy and how to prepare and cook their amazing food. We could not recommend Marty enough!
Natalie S.
Booked the class Pasta-Making Date Night with Chef ShaSha in Escondido
My husband received this fantastic experience for a birthday gift from our daughter. Chef ShaSha is passionate about cooking and teaching. She is very personable and made the experience a lot of fun. The food we cooked was made with only quality ingredients and was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this experience with Chef ShaSha for any occasion!

Booked the class Authentic Brazilian Feast with Chef Paulo
Chef Paulo was very knowledgeable of the menu history and culture. Great company and delicious food. I will definitely recommend to friends and family.
Alyssa P.
Booked the class Cooking With Mushrooms with Chef Jordan W. in Julian
I attended this class with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and have nothing but positive remarks. He adjusted the recipes to our restrictions/preferences (I'm gluten-free and vegetarian). He communicated about each step, gave us tips on knife skills (etc.), and connected with us. We also really enjoyed sitting down and sharing a meal with Chef Jordan and his partner. Thanks for a great class and for welcoming us. If you're debating whether or not this class will be worth it, debate no longer. Also, the food was impeccable.
Booked the class Basics of Indian Cooking with Chef Jordan W. in Julian
We had such a lovely experience with Chef Jordon on Thanksgiving for his Indian cooking class. We learned great techniques and information on all the ingredients! Plus, every dish was so flavorful and delicious! And his home overlooking the lake is serene. He went above and beyond to make our holiday memorable. We had so much fun this is going to be our new Thanksgiving tradition!
Booked the class The Art of Ancestral Cooking with Chef Jordan W. in Julian
Our experience with Chef Jordan was a perfect blend of a fine culinary session and back yard bbq. We kicked things off with a special cacao opener. We learned useful prep techniques, enjoyed 3 courses of organic and responsibly sourced food, garden fresh herbs, and specially made sauces. We enjoyed steak frites with a lakeside sunset view and finished with a wonderous dessert with surprising ingredients. It was an evening full of music, clean upper scale food, useful information, great conversation, and generous left overs. Truly elevating!
Rachel C.
Booked the class A Twist on Indian Favorites with Chef Adina in San Diego (Pacific Beach)
Chef Rachel provided an exceptional cooking class experience! We thoroughly enjoyed her guidance and instruction throughout the session, as she came well-prepared with all the ingredients and even shared a bonus recipe utilizing items we had available. We highly recommend taking a class with her for an enjoyable culinary adventure.
Andy W.
Booked the class The Art of Homemade Pasta with Chef ShaSha in Santee
This in-home experience exceeded expectations. Chef ShaSha exudes professionalism and industry knowledge. She was amazing and very patient with our 6 year old that joined in on the fun of making homemade pasta. The food turned out amazing and my wife and I learned so much about how pasta should taste versus what we were used to. We cannot recommend enough both this course and Chef ShaSha! Another class is definitely in our future!
Booked the class Authentic Italian Pasta Making with Chef Jordan W. in Julian
Such a fun class for our group of four. Chef Jordan was able to accommodate allergies in our group and modify the menu. Great ingredients. Perfect ratio of "work" and learning to socializing with our friends.

Patrick M.
Booked the class Classic Italian Desserts with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (Rancho Penasquitos)
Chef ShaSha was super engaging and knowledgeable on different cooking topics. She made the class enjoyable and easy to follow and the deserts tasted delicious afterwards! She also prepared a little treat for us beforehand which was super thoughtful. Definitely would recommend her for a cooking class!
Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
Our experience with Chef Marty was great! She was very personable and provided good insight on how to make Tuscan cuisine. Would highly recommend and will be looking for other courses with her instruction.
Booked the class Vegetarian Taste of Thailand with Chef Krong in San Diego (San Carlos)
Chef Krong was amazing to learn from! She came ready to hit the ground running, we were into prep and cooking in the first few minutes! She was incredibly warm and fun, and so easy to connect with. It felt more like cooking with a really talented and patient friend. The recipes were simple and delicious, and we feel confident we could make them again on our own with the techniques we picked up. It was also great to learn more about Thai ingredients we have been curious about!
Nancy S.
Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)
We had a great time cooking with Marty. She shared her knowledge of Italy and cooking techniques. Can't wait to try them!
Steven R.
Booked the class Fundamental Dessert Techniques with Chef Adina
Rachel was a fantastic teacher. She worked with me and my wife as part of the Fundamental Dessert Techniques course, which included preparation of panna cotta, cheesecake, and crème brûlée. Rachel was a patient and informative instructor, and allowed my wife and me to do all procedures ourselves, stepping in for occasional recommendations. She had a good balance of advising on technical specifics while also giving us room to do each step ourselves, even if we were imperfect at certain stages. All recipes were doable for non-professionals like us, tasted great, and generated reasonable dessert portion sizes for two people without having too much excess. Rachel brought nearly everything we needed, and coordinated with me a week in advance on what we would need and what she could bring, and nothing was missing when it came time to prepare the recipes. Rachel was parked near our complex before the appointment time, and came in right on time and was ready to go. She was patient as well while my wife and I were still getting our daughter settled in for the evening and switching off for the first 20 minutes or so. Everything was done within 2 hours on the dot, and that was with some recipes taking longer than planned in our oven. I would highly recommend this course if you are looking for an interesting date night, or have an anniversary or birthday/similar coming up for a partner who loves to cook/bake (or at least the idea of it!). Rachel was a pleasure to have in our home, and we look forward to taking one of her other classes sometime!
Booked the class The Art of Homemade Pasta with Chef ShaSha
Chef Sha was absolutely amazing! I booked her for my one year anniversary, and tailored the menu to what I thought my boyfriend would enjoy. CHef Sha worked graciously with me to plan the perfect meal. She had prepared the most delicious Sicilian red sauce with sausage and beef braciole prior to coming to my apartment to make the rest of the meal. Once she arrived, we made caprese salad, lemon panna cotta, and the best part was the homemade fettucine!! She gave me and my boyfriend so many helpful tips in preparing food as well as presentation. I learned so much without feeling instructed. My boyfriend told me it was the best anniversary gift he has ever been given! Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!!
Nicole T.
Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha
Chef ShaSha was amazing! I purchased a private, in home cooking class for my parents as a (Mother's Day and dad's birthday) present. It was a wonderful experience. They made ravioli from scratch and Chef ShaSha brought all the supplies and ingredients. She was a patient teacher, allowing my family to participate as much or as little as they liked. My parents made a last minute addition, inviting two other guests and Chef ShaSha was most accommodating. She called ahead of time to make sure that the menu was everything we wanted and finalized details assuring us that everything was on track and ready to go. A relief for someone trying to coordinate from a few states away. I will be calling her again!

Great cooking class and experience. It was good to hear the history that Chef Marty shared about Italy and also her herb garden. Everything was really well planned out and it was great meeting new people and sharing dinner with them as well. Also there is absolutely no issue with the porta potty, super clean and Chef Marty even offer us her personal bathroom if we wanted.

Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha
Absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing and ShaSha was a wonderful and patient teacher. She really took the time to explain things to us and show us how thoughtfully food could be made.

This was truly an amazing experience. My partner and I were lucky enough to have Jordan all to ourselves for our cooking class. We used all fresh ingredients and he showed us how easy it was to make a healthy flavorful meal. His welcoming attitude made us feel like we were right at home making our fresh pasta. The class experience was educational but most of all so much fun. We really enjoyed our time and look forward to learning other cuisines from Jordan

Franky G.
Booked the class Traditional Thai Staples with Chef Krong
I hired Chef Krong for my fiancé as a Christmas gift and it was so much fun! She is very polite, funny, inclusive and makes you feel good about learning how to cook! Even if you have someone who doesn’t really cook, chef Krong walks you through the entire process with patience and makes you feel like you’re cooking with a friend. She cooked three courses including the Laab Gai, Moo Pad Prik Thai Dam, Gaeng Massaman Gai, and Thai Sticky Rice w/ Mango. EVERYTHING was delicious and fun to make! We appreciated how she answered questions along the way and offered alternatives/suggestions for future cooking. She gave us tips on where to buy future ingredients & introduced us to different sauces and seasonings. We are definitely planning to hire her again and invite friends/family to join. Thanks again Chef !
