Booked the class Make an Elegant Layered Cake with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)

This class exceeded my expectations. I now know why some of the techniques used have fallen below standards, it's because I hadn't been shown or taught the appropriate method. This hands-on course gave me exactly what I needed. I absolutely plan to attend another class with Cozymeal to continue to improve my cooking skills.

Booked the class Sea and Land - Date Night with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)

We had fun. The food we made was good (Surf & Turf), and we enjoyed the other couple we shared a table with. What wasn't ideal was that I thought "At the Chef's Resident" meant their house, not a retail store. The store isn't great because everyone has to stand up to eat their dinner. Also, not being able to pair wine with a meal you spend 2 hours making is also disappointing. One last thing: the chef was brash with the guest and rude to her staff. The standing up and no wine probably wouldn't have been as big of a downer if the chef was fun and friendly. A year ago we did Kitchen on Fire in Berkley; I thought CrozyMeals was going to be like their experience. Fun Chef, sit-down dinner after 2 of work, and a great meal paired with wine.

Booked the class A Night in España with Chef Barbara in South Bay & Peninsula (Foster City)

I reserved 2 spots for my wife and I for my wife's birthday and we had so much fun! Ive done Cozy meal before and my last class had around 8 people in the class and it sometimes made it hard to participate, but Chef Barbary only allows for 4 people to attend making it much more personal and eventful.

Chef Barbara was great. Her home was beautiful and she was incredibly friendly, passionate about cooking and very engaging. The recipes we created were amazing. I can't wait to try them again. It was 100% pleasure.

Booked the class Mountaintop Grilling with Chef Evan in Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz)

Chef Evan's view alone is worth taking this class, and the incredible class on grilling and the meal make it a no-brainer. Chef Evan lives on the top of a mountain in a cool home built in the shape of three tents, with a wraparound porch giving a view onto the Santa Cruz Mountains. He gathers a ton of his ingredients from his own garden plot, and the rest of this food is locally sourced and absolutely amazing. Definitely a must try.

Booked the class Classic Dim Sum Specialties with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)

Chef Andrea was an excellent instructor. I especially appreciated that after she would display how to pleat the siu mai and har gow skin, she came around each table to give assistance to those who needed help. Also, qwhen the har gow flour didn't work out, she was prepared for plan B. Her helpers also helped make the class run smooth. The class was fun!!!

Booked the class Thai Summer Flavors with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)

Chef Andrea and her team were amazing! We had so much fun! I would suggest a smaller class or bigger tables. We were fortunate to have 2 at our table. The tabels who had 4 people, had 2 cutting boards, and shared ingredients. I would have been disappointed. Over all we had a great experience.

Chef Barbara is very personable and knowledgeable. She guided us through the cooking and helped us produce a great meal, all the while keeping up great conversation, and giving us lots of good cooking tips. She has a great kitchen and house, and is very welcoming. All-in-all, a great experience, and we'll definitely have to do it again.
