Chef Annie was very knowledgeable, organized, pleasant, informative, and patient. The Canape Toast appetizer, Coq Au Vin and all vegetables were delicious! The Frangipane Pear Tart was the perfect ending! When she finished, the kitchen was in order, and all guests were happy and full, it was a great experience!

I wanted to treat my parents to a memorable evening to celebrate their wedding anniversary and found Cozy Meal and Chef Annie’s Italian-themed cooking class. It was my first time booking a Cozy Meal and had no idea what to expect. The overall experience from beginning to end surpassed my expectations — we had the most delightful evening with Chef Annie! She arrived with all her cooking utensils and high quality ingredients and immediately introduced herself and the menu for the evening. She made us feel that we could partake in as much or as little of the cooking as we’d like. She delighted us with her conversation about her travels to Italy and her knowledge and passion for cooking. She encouraged us to form the pasta dough, to try our hand at the pasta machine, and to learn how easy it is to make homemade ricotta. Chef Annie was so patient and generous with her cooking knowledge. We savored our homemade meal, cooked and baked to perfection. Thank you Chef Annie for a wonderfully memorable evening! We look forward to cooking together again!

Chef Annie was absolutely amazing! We took her French Rendezvous class and learned so much. The Coq Au Vin was delicious! The pear tart brought me back to my excursion to South of France. There was so much flavor in the tomato jam she made. Definitely making this meal again to impress my foodie friends. We had loads of fun. Thank you!

Chef Annie is beyond talented when it comes to her work in the kitchen! She can do it all! On many occasions my wife and I have gone to her to cook up special dishes for dinner parties at the house, birthday parties, as well as for casual get-togethers with friends. Whether she's cooking up an elegant five course meal or baking something unique in the oven, she consistently delivers delicious delights! I highly recommend Chef Annie. She is a master at her craft!
