WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Austin

Parveza R.

We cooked the Spanish meal which included Patatas Bravas, Seafood Paella and Churro with dark chocolate dip. The patatas were delicious and the dip took it to another level. The paella was very flavorful and the churros were light and fluffy. Chef Danushka was patient with our questions and we learned other things beyond what the Spanish feast called for. Me and my friend had a great and highly recommend it to anyone looking to have fun and learn pro way to cook.

Chef Zach never disappoints. Even after taking several classes with him, we still walk away learning something new every time. We recently did the Greek cooking class, and as always, he struck the perfect balance between being an incredible teacher and a natural entertainer. He has a way of breaking things down so cooking feels approachable, easy, and genuinely fun. You donâ€™t just follow a recipeâ€”you actually understand what youâ€™re doing and why. Highly recommend any class with him!

Iâ€™m no longer intimidated by preparing a Beef Wellington thanks to Chef Karen! Chef walked us through each step of preparation and voila! The best Beef Wellington accompanied by green beans and mashed potatoes! Iâ€™ll be making this menu for my family soon!

We prepared with Chef Erin's guidance the terrific Holiday Feast meal! I would definitely recommend the Cozymeal service. Erin was nice enough to drive at night through a hilly winding area on Christmas Eve. She is very knowledgable about cooking, trends in food prep and did it all with a great sense of humor! We had a blast and were very well fed.

Marina S.

We had an amazing at-home Italian cooking class experience. Chef Erin brought everything needed and guided us through each dish with clear, step-by-step instructions. We started with a fresh Caprese salad, followed by perfectly seasoned crispy fried shrimp. The highlight was learning how to make handmade pasta from scratchâ€”it was easier than expected and so satisfying. The pasta was beautifully complemented by a rich, flavorful tomato sauce. We ended with a classic tiramisu that was light, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The class was fun, hands-on, and left us with new skills we can use again. It was a perfect way to spend the evening and a great option for a special night in.

We had a great experience with Chef Tata. Great date night and the meal was delicious.

Heather H.

Our group had a lot of fun with Erin for our bachelorette party. She created a relaxed environment to cook and hang out while enjoying a fun activity and delicious food. Great for all levels of cooking. Would recommend!

Susan N.

We really enjoyed this class! Easy and elegant, we will love making these recipes and wowing our guests! The direction was straightforward, and the kitchen was beautiful!

Tanushree D.

Chef Erin was a pleasure to have in our home. She taught us that making exquisite dishes such as homemade pasta and tiramisu are not as intimidating as they seem. She made our first anniversary special and went the extra mile and took photos of us in the process so we can look back on the memories we made. We would love to cook with her again!

Brenda Mason .

Class: Modern Asian Comfort Food So much to love about Chef Susie's class! My husband and I were the seniors in the class and have been cooking for many, many years. Both of us love Asian cuisine and decided to branch out from our cooking comfort zone to a cuisine we both love. Chef presented the dishes in the time order of preparation so demonstrate how the menu could be handled in a short time for those of us who have 30-45 minutes to prepare a meal. As she prepared the stir-fry, she sprinkled the science of why the recipe was prepared as it was and how not to overcook the chicken, for example. However, the star of the dishes, and the one that most of us probably needed the most guidance with was dumplings. From sourcing the wraps to preparing the stuffing (in advance) to creating a basic dumpling fold to more intricate, decorative folds, to cooking, and--best of all--eating the finished product--Chef Susie helped me to conquer my fear of creating Asian dumplings. A wonderful experience over all! Enjoy!

Renada S.

Chef Megan... amazing!! Very relaxed atmosphere, fun and informative. I look forward to another class with her.

Kathy F.

What an enjoyable experience for a girlâ€™s night out! Food was delicious, loved the general cooking info, and nice to get knife skills included. Chef was prepared making efficient use of the time. (Tipped in cash at the class). She deserves a min tip of 20%!

Chef Zach was fantastic! I will be taking more of his classes.

Lacey S.

This class was fantastic! Chef Megan was very patient with us and was super understanding as we almost had to cancel the class last minute. Thankfully it all worked out and we got to enjoy a wonderful class. We loved Meganâ€™s enthusiasm, personality and simple instructions.

Kayla H.

Megan was a wonderful chef and host! She created such a welcoming learning environment and taught us to cook a great meal. She is spunky and outgoing and her class was a super awesome time!

Matthew L.

We enjoyed our wonderful cooking experience with Chef Megan and will be booking with her again. We learned some new techniques to try at home while eating amazing food and engaging in pleasant conversation.

Jana H.

So that's how you dice an onion! Chef Zach provided a fun, rich learning experience for a cuisine I knew little about, Brazil. My sisters and I had fun! Thanks Chef!

Chef Danushka was amazing. Her experience and ability to teach techniques will definitely help us in the kitchen. Her wit and coaching made the evening. Canâ€™t recommend her enough!

Zoey S.

What a great experience! Chef Susie was a true expert and provided not only helpful kitchen tips but nutritional ones as well! Her home is located in the center of Austin and is a beautiful space to explore your culinary talents (and eat them after)! Susie and her space were welcoming and warm, highly recommend!

Trent D.

Chef Megan was incredible and deserves 10+ stars. She is super bubbly, engaging, and a fantastic storyteller which makes cooking much more enjoyable. She treated us with great hospitality and ensured everyone participated in various parts of the cooking experience. After the class, the strangers/participants felt like best friends who just created the best meal of a life time. Food was sooooooo good, we eat ourselves into a coma. Definitely take a course with Chef Meganâ€”you will not regret it.

Elijah T.

Chef Zach is an extraordinary chef with true passion for creating and teaching about amazingly tasty food! He has traveled to the countries he teaches about--Brazil, Paris, Greece, etc--and it show in his polished and comprehensive approach...along with his friendly, down-to-earth attitude and caring teaching style. Don't miss the chance to learn with him!

Priscilla L.

I had a blast!! Chef Kareem's home is clean, cozy, with a fun atmosphere. It was great to meet new people and share a meal with a great group of Austinites. I felt so welcome and had an amazing experience seeing Chef in his element. I will absolutely be doing this again and look forward to more meals to share. The mediterranean meal was out of this WORLD good!!!! Highly recommend. Thank you, Chef!

Yoav Z.

Kareem is a real pro. Amazing tastes and perfect hospitality

Raychel H.

Would give Chef Danushka more stars if I could!! I booked a private cooking experience with Chef Danushka last weekend with five of my close friends. None of us were quite sure what to expect or how formal the arrangement was going to be. We brought plenty of wine and were prepared to make it a memorable night. From the moment we arrived, we were brought into the Chef's adorable, clean home with a beautiful kitchen, perfectly arranged for us to gather comfortably with a great view of all cooking instructions. The Chef is hilarious and made all of us feel at ease while still giving us lighthearted banter that made sure we were all involved and engaged. The food was one of the best meals I've had in awhile (and I'm not even typically a pork eater) and the experience overall was one of the highlights of the last few months. Thank you, Chef! Looking forward to booking with you again!

S. M.

Chef Zach is amazing!!! I took the Flavors of Greece class and it was delicious. I went with my oldest daughter and he taught us all the tricks of how to use the knife, how to combine herbs and explained step by step the recipe while we were making it. He also had the printout for us to take home. I am so glad that I decided for this class. I highly recommend it, never tasted such a delicious Greek meal. Also, we all kept our masks at all times and our distance. Everything is clean and he even had Greek music and pictures of his trip to Greece. Thanks Chef!

Melody R.

Great learning and cooking experience!! We loved the steak taretar and the steak itself! The whole process on removing the yolk from the egg, and the details like saffron salt made all the difference. This class was a blast and the food was even better!

Lauren Y.

What an amazing experience! Chef Zach was so accommodating and even gave us some tips on safe knife handling, how to properly zest a lime, how to peel ginger, etc. as part of our lesson. It was also wonderful to learn more about Brazil and even some Portuguese as part of the lesson. The food was amazing and we learned so much! Five stars!

Alena G.

Absolutely awesome experience! Chef Zach was very welcoming and tried to accommodate everyone's needs or (in my case) dietary restrictions :) The atmosphere was fun and friendly, Zach shared different cooking tips and tricks along the way. The food was delicious, and we got to keep the recipes and lots of inspiration. We enjoyed this experience greatly and will definitely try other classes. Thanks once again to Chef Zach for hosting us and sharing his culinary expertise!

John L.

Had a great time and learned along the way. Very clean location, and excellent teaching technique.

James B.

Absolutely incredible food and wonderful company

Gwen B.

We had such a delightful time with Ash and Taruna! They were not only grateful hosts but so knowledgeable and inclusive on sharing the secrets of their cuisine. We are grateful for the experience and look forward to making these dishes for our family.

Jill A.

What a great experience! Chef Zach provided a wonderful mix of facts and history of Brazilian cooking, hands-on instruction and a fabulous meal. Super adept at pacing and guidance. An easy laid-back atmosphere with an exceptional meal at the end! Iâ€™d recommend this for anyone interested in a fun date night with low pressure. No worry if you donâ€™t have much experience cooking...Chef Zach will have you feeling like a pro in no time! Highly recommend!

Darby W.

We had a blast at Chef Danushka's cooking class! We learned some tips and tricks around the kitchen and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the Asian meal but we can't wait to try out some of her other options next time we are visiting Austin. Thanks, Chef!
