This was a wonderful experience and one I would definitely do again! The class was fun and informative and the food was delicious. Being able to prep, cook, and then enjoy what we made with a group of people was unique and enjoyable. Chef Carolina was very helpful, friendly, and clearly loved what she was doing. Overall a fantastic experience.

We had a team building event at Chef Carolina’s lovely home where she taught us how to cook Creole cuisine. The class was very organized and so much fun! Chef Carolina is a great instructor and helped move along the food prep process as each team member cooked different dishes. The food was delicious and our team throughly enjoyed the class!

Oh my goodness! If you want to look like a rockstar in front of your coworkers, book an event with Chef Carolina. It was the perfect evening of team building and relaxing. My team of 20 had a blast and it really brought everyone out of their shells. It's a well-paced evening that ends with what can only be described as a cozy meal! I'd give another star if my computer would let me. We'll be back!

Jason

02 Feb 2018

What an amazing experience! Was much more than we expected. Initially was nervous booking a class that was in an informal setting. But it was by far better than any of the formal cooking classes we have ever done. We had a large private group and Chef Carolina was extraordinary at coordination! The food was amazing and we loved getting the recipes the next day. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

Rupa

21 Jan 2018

Chef Carolina was very sweet but the class was not as expected, both the appetizer & entree was very bland.!

Tim

08 Jan 2018

Overall Id say it was a fun experience. However, I would not recommend it. She did not serve what was on the menu and the items that were replaced were done so with much cheaper options. Cleanliness was also an issue.

Patti

Chef Carolina was the perfect instructor and host for our company's team building/holiday event. The ambiance was wonderful, food was delicious and the instruction was easy to follow. We particularly enjoyed her 'secret garden' venue. I highly recommend Chef Carolina's class.

Mayra

18 Dec 2017

Gracias Chef Carolina for welcoming my team and I into your beautiful home for a unique outdoor cooking experience! We had an amazing time kneading dough, making pizza pies, and dicing and spicing for our protein and sauces!! If you're considering one of the Chef's many cooking experiences I'd highly recommend!

Darren

Chef Carolina and her team gave our team exactly what we were looking for: a family experience!

Chef Carolina's set up was so great and we had such a wonderful time. We had a group of 7 and it was a perfect day. The food was amazing and we all left stuffed.

Raagini

04 Oct 2017

We had a wonderful time at our cooking class with Chef Carolina. She had a great setup in her backyard with cooking stations, a grill, and then a beautifully set table for the meal. Chef Carolina and her team were so helpful, friendly, and sweet. The food was good and exactly what we wanted. This is a great activity for a special occasion with a group of friends or family.

Claudia

12 Sep 2017

All around awesome! Exactly the experience we were looking for. Very welcoming hosts and ambiance. Would highly recommend the experience to another group.

Dorian

We booked Chef Carolina's Mexican Fiesta for a private cooking class. Everything about the class was perfect. The setting was incredibly beautiful, cooking counters were set up by the pool and the dining table was in the backyard with lights strung across the trees and flowers. We cooked a simple but very delicious Mexican feast, I especially loved the salsa verde and avocado tempura! Most importantly, Chef Carolina made you feel at home when you stepped through the door. We had a great time with her, and she even shared stories about her family and her grandchildren. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone and I will definitely be back for more classes. A big thank you to Chef Carolina and her team for organizing a truly amazing night for my sister!

Bella

Lisa

06 Jun 2017

We originally booked with Chef Daniel, but 2 days prior to the day, he had to cancel us due to a family emergency. However, Rosario (customer care) reached out and REALLY turned it all around! She was so sweet and helpful and provided custom menus for me to choose from. Eventually, we got a private handmade pasta making class booked with Chef Carolina and it was such an amazing experience. Ate lots, learned lots, and walked away with our very own pasta-maker as a birthday gift from Chef Carolina - super sweet and unexpected. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Aswini

16 May 2017

HI Team, Overall we were happy and food was great. I was awaiting the review response from my team hence the delay. Couple of points brought up by my seniors were the location was moved from home to test kitchen in the last minute(which was not expected as we requested for pictures of the event before we signed up) and the fact that the recipes were not provided. This is based on people who have been to other cooking events that this could be slightly better organised. Having said that would like say that the Chef was very sweet and the staff was good and helped us. One more issue we had is due to last minute cancellations we had less than 50% of the initial plan so we hoped may be some part of the money could be returned or provided to the chef for any of her good causes. Haven't tipped below and was hoping that the savings due to highly reduced participation would help cover. Please give me a call if you need any other detail.

Chef Carolina and her family were very warm and friendly, and we felt welcome in their home. However, the kitchen is fairly small and only accommodates 2 people at a time. We would love to get copies of the recipes we were served.

Feedback from our team: Vandy-I had a really great time and thanks making us cozy inside. Catalina-She was very nice, accommodating and a wonderful teacher chef. I thought she was great. Kathy-She was forceful without being bossy. She let us finish her lunch and when we got silly and crazy she joined right in. Jack-I enjoyed it. Chef Carolina as very accommodating. She geared our tasks to our abilities. Kirk-Very pleasant…would like to have had each of the dishes “introduced” by the chef… Misheline-I truly enjoyed the unique team building experience. She was a superb teacher and kept the night on pace. I learned so much and told my family and friends about everything I learned. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Russ-Great social event for our team…. It’s minor but only issue was flank steak a little tough…. Could the cook's (that was my task) fault… LOL

We booked Chef Carolina's breakfast bar menu and had such a great time. She came in with her assistant, setup the entire bar (including her own mini-stoves), and got started within a few minutes. Then she took our individual orders and made us really good food. I can definitely recommend it for any private or corporate breakfast event.

Chef Carolina made this first time dinner experience so memorable and special for me and my guest. She accommodated me and my guest in the most professional way imaginable. Chef Carolina, left my kitchen spotless and covered even the smallest of details. She really made everyone feel like we were her family. Every single entree was visually appealing and amazingly delicious, and we truly felt like celebrities. Thank you so much for an unforgettable evening and I am looking forward to booking Chef Carolina again.

My daughters Sweet Sixteen celebration went off without a hitch! Carolina had 9 sixteen year old girls and they had a wonderful time. The menu was perfect and the food was excellent.

Delena

24 Jun 2016

We booked a team building afternoon with Chef Carolina and from beginning to the end it was a success. Chef Carolina greeted us at the door where everyone introduced themselves and she had hors d ouerves waiting for us. Chef Carolina showed everyone around and then paired us off to complete the various tasks together. At the end we had a delicious meal which we enjoyed together with the chef in her backyard. In addition to the team building, we all learned at least one or more new cooking skills as well. As an additional bonus, we all went home with left overs for dinner!

Sam

18 Jun 2016

Chef Carolina is an amazing chef. We booked one of her cooking classes for a media event and everyone really enjoyed the experience. She is very professional, knows a lot about cooking and food in general, and is also really fun to be around. I look forward to my next cooking class with Chef Carolina!

Devin

13 Jun 2016

From the moment we stepped in the door the whole experience was wonderful. Each of us girls agreed it was as if we had just spent a wonderful evening at our favorite auntie's house. Needless to say we were welcomed warmly. Chef Carolina has much experience and was so willing to teach and answer any questions we had. The summer menu she prepared for us was very light and refreshing. The girls I was with did hope that there was more that they could physically cook. For example we marianated the chicken but weren't involved in cooking it. All the other dishes didn't required any cooking so we were able to cut and mix and serve those. Chef Carolina opened up her heart and her home and I would recommend her and cozy meal to anyone. Thank you for such a great evening and wonderful memories.

Russ

13 Jun 2016

We had a team of 8 and everyone loved the event. Thanks to Chef Carolina and her team for making it a success.

Doug

22 Feb 2016

Chef Carolina runs a class that was fun, casual, informative, and also hands on. Immediately, she had tasks for us and was nearby to answer all questions and to give hints and tips. Her recipes were easy to follow, and most importantly, completely delicious, as we were able to enjoy later what we prepared. Most of us we were cooking novices coming in, and this was a laid back way to learn new techniques. As the venue was Chef Carolina's home, this felt like a very personal and unique experience, and it made for a great birthday celebration! Totally recommend this for a relaxing night out with family and friends.

Jordan

12 Feb 2016

Chef Carolina was a delight to be around. She set the night off with lovely appetizers and once everyone arrived we got straight to work. She was very clear and created a fun environment to cook in. Her creole inspired recipes were delicious and I already used my new omlette making skills. I will definitely be visiting her kitchen again.

frederick

12 Feb 2016

It was a great experience for my wife and I. Though the directions "street parking" were misleading, the venue was easily located and we were immediately welcomed into the home. Carolina's style was more hands-on, which suited our needs as we tend to tune out with lectures. I learned a lot watching the other attendees do their share of the cooking of the wonderful dishes. There was ample time for socialization, too, and we got to learn a lot about the Chef as well as the other attendees over our meal. Carolina had all ingredients ready to go with explanations of the preparation & purpose for each one. It amazed us how simple she made it all look with some dishes; seasonings were literally just 3 simple ingredients! Her patience and confidence were also great mood boosters during preparation. Instead of micromanaging each process, she trusted that we could get our portions done and barely needed to correct our tasks. We'd definitely book with her again in the future.

We booked Chef Carolina's healthy Californian cooking class for our company team building event in LA and really enjoyed the class, her work as an instructor, as well as the delicious food in the end. We definitely recommend her cooking class to anyone who is looking for a fun, educational cooking class in the Los Angeles Area.

Ben

09 Dec 2015

If you are looking for a fun, educational cooking class in Los Angeles, you should book one of Chef Carolina's classes. We booked her Latin Feast class as a private cooking class and really liked it: The setup, the instruction and the food were all 5-stars! We will definitely come back again!

Claire

07 Dec 2015

This was a really fun cooking class. We live in West Los Angeles and decided to book Chef Carolina's cooking class in Culver City. The cooking class covered several California cuisine healthy dishes. Carolina was great at explaining everything throughout the class and we enjoyed in the end the dishes we had prepared. I would definitely book her again.

I booked a class for my mum's birthday who wanted to learn Vegetarian cooking. Chef Carolina was great. She had us both very hands-on and we learned how to make a variety of dishes, including a delicious chocolate cake! I would absolutely recommend her for those that would like to learn vegetarian cooking. I am definitely going to use Cozymeal again for my next cooking class.

iyana

Carolina is an exceptional teacher! Very patient and the food is AMAZING! Her home was also very welcoming! Me, my mom and my sister took the FRENCH SOUL FOOD class. SOOO good! We can't wait to make it here at home for ourselves and we'll take another class with her soon!

Chef Carolina was a joy to work with. She helped us create a tailored amazing Mexican meal to suit our dietary restrictions and we had so much fun doing it. We learned a ton of practical tips for the kitchen that will help with every meal. We owe her a ton. Thank you so much Master Chef.

Noorin

08 Feb 2015

Delicious! I didn't even expect it to be homemade, but the cake and its chef were both so great.

Noorin

08 Feb 2015

Chef Carolina was a phenomenal host, chef, and teacher. She was incredibly accommodating from planning all the way through the lesson itself. I asked for an ice cream birthday cake, and she went so far as to bring in a pastry chef who was also a pleasure to learn from. Chef was kind, patient and humorous. The whole experience was great. We learned new dishes and had wonderful company. I would highly recommend a lesson from her!

Sydney

02 Dec 2014

I loved Chef Carolina's beer-battered avocado tacos! I never would have thought of having avocado as the main ingredient of a taco, but wow, does it work. Chef Carolina is so sweet and so talented. She's a great teacher and knows how to make vegetarian recipes that are not only good for you, but also unbelievably flavorful and delicious!

Sam

02 Dec 2014

These were seriously the best vegetarian tacos I've ever had. The avocado taco was meaty and crisp, rich and flavorful, and had a dollop of her homemade incredibly rich, dark, roasted salsa. Chef Carolina is a kind and patient teacher, and very happy to talk about how Mexican food can be made healthy and light without sacrificing flavor. She'll also bring out some tortillas made by her family at their local tortilla shop!
