Booked the class Pasta Making Class with Chef Francesca in Torrance (Northwest Torrance)
Never have experienced three hours in a kitchen go by so fast. Chef Francesca brought to life the art of pasta making. We made fettuccine and a form of ravioli from her homeland of Sardegna, culurgiones. She was evocative, patient, and above all masterful. Bravissimo! Highly recommend. Go hungry and take a bottle of Sangiovese / Chianti.

I brought my partner to celebrate his birthday and found this incredible course where we made pasta (my favorite) and NY steak which is my partner’s favorite. We had such a good time and enjoyed learning and cooking with Francesca. She’s an excellent chef who knows exactly how to prepare a 5 Michelin star meal. Everything was perfect, and the food was hands down one of the best I’ve had…and I consider myself a foodie with a sophisticated palette. Thank you Francesca for helping us make this a memorable experience!

My husband and I have been wanting to take a cooking class for awhile. We love steak and Italian food so much so Chef Francesca's Italian steakhouse class piqued our interest. The drive was reasonable to Torrance from South LA. Parking was easy. Her home was so cute and clean and charming! Chef Francesca is such a kind, focused and effective teacher and coach. My husband Jeremy and I got to share the workload evenly. What I loved was how easy and fast the recipes were and how easy it was to time everything out while keeping a clean kitchen. The food was superb and we had amazing leftovers the next day. We had an amazing time and would go back to her or try another class with Cozymeal. I even love how she teaches earlier so that she can be a present mom, just an awesome lady. I feel like I can actually cook everything she presented. Please share with her or post so others know :) Thanks a bunch! Nicole

What a lovely experience. 10/10!! My girlfriend and I booked this for Valentine's Day - pasta making in the morning. We were a bit hesitant to walk into a stranger's home with other strangers (lol), but Chef Francesca made us feel instantly right at home. Not only is she an incredible chef and clearly experienced, but she has a kind, positive soul and clearly loves what she does. Her home is also sweet. Contemporary and heartfelt touches of Italy. She also had cheese and crackers for us to touch on - real parm from Sardinia. We cooked two dishes altogether and they were YUM; portions were generous too...did not eat the rest of the day. So satisfied. Would absolutely recommend and do this again.

Great experience with Chef Francesca. She was a great chef and a lovely host. Such a kind person, and such great food! One note, this class is not as hands on as others I have had in the past. Chef duties are shared, you are not making your own dish from start to finish. Not a bad thing, just important to know if you prefer one type of class over another. Also, the chef chooses your sauces beforehand, so if you’re dead set against any of the sauces, let her know and she can accommodate. Would recommend!

My daughter and I had such a vibrant, fun, and awesome cooking class with Chef Francesca! Chef Francesca was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and fun to learn from. Both of us had a blast! I highly recommend this and we will for sure book with Francesca again. Her place was nice and clean; menu was great, food was fresh and super yummy! My daughter loved the pasta making experience. I loved the sauce we learned from Francesca. The various prepping and cooking techniques she taught us was useful and amazing. She helped us activate our taste buds and senses. LOVE this experience! Can't wait for the next cooking class with Chef Francesca! Grazie mille, Chef Francesca!
Booked the class Rustic Southern Italian with Chef Francesca in Torrance (Northwest Torrance)
I surprised my fiancé with a private cooking class with Francesca as an early Valentine’s Day gift. The last time we had truly authentic Italian food was in Italy, and this was the first time we experienced fresh, homemade Italian cuisine since returning. Francesca, who is from Sardinia, was warm and welcoming as she shared her style of cooking from scratch, showing us how to simplify Italian dishes. My fiancée is pregnant, and Francesca was incredibly helpful in guiding us on how to modify our meals—such as pasteurizing eggs and adjusting the tiramisu recipe. The result was the best tiramisu we’ve ever had, and now we’ll always want to make it ourselves! We highly recommend learning from Francesca, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
Booked the class Sushi Night: Four Signature Rolls with Chef Willow in South Bay Los Angeles (Downtown Core)
We cooked sushi with Chef Willow. We learned how to use a bamboo roller, how to properly cook and prepare the sushi rice. Most importantly, to just have fun making the sushi.

Booked the class A Taste of Modern Techniques with Chef Cregg in Los Angeles (South Los Angeles)
Chef Cregg went above and beyond to make sure my partner and I were comfortable and having a great time cooking and learning.. We had such an amazing experience! The food we made was perfect. The kitchen was picture perfect. The atmosphere was second to none. I picked Chef Cregg because of all of his great reviews and he did not disappoint in any areas. I was able to propose to my partner and the night was better than I could have ever imagined. Chef even knew what music to play to set the mood. THAT’S a Wingman Chef!! Thank you so much Chef Cregg for being a part of the best date night we’ve ever had!! Can’t recommend enough!!

Booked the class Pasta Making Class with Chef Francesca in Torrance (Northwest Torrance)
I gifted this pasta making class to my son for his birthday, and it was an absolute hit! Chef Francesca was an excellent teacher—her experience and expertise really shine through in how she guides you through the process. My son absolutely loved every minute of it. The class reinforced something I've always believed: food is so much better when it's homemade. Now I'm genuinely looking forward to making these dishes at home and putting what we learned into practice. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning the art of pasta making. Chef Francesca makes it approachable, fun, and truly memorable. Great gift idea, too!

Our Italian Steakhouse cooking class with Chef Francesca was fantastic! My partner and I booked it for our anniversary and had the best time. The class took place at her lovely home and we happened to be the only two participants for this class so it was extra special. We learned a lot, ate delicious food, and enjoyed Francesca's company throughout. We even had plenty of leftovers so it was well worth the price! We highly recommend this class and would definitely take another class from Francesca.
