WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE COOKING CLASSES IN THE BAY AREA

Amber G. Amber G.

Booked the class Handcrafted Italian Meal with Chef Karen

Our office had an amazing time at our Italian cooking class! Chef Karen is not only a fantastic chef but also an engaging and fun instructor. She taught us so many useful cooking techniques and delicious recipes, and there was never a dull moment. Whether you're an experienced cook or a complete beginner, you're sure to have a wonderful time. I highly recommend Chef Karen!

Booked the class Pizza in the Oven with Chef Mordechai

Chef Motti was amazing - he arrived with everything needed to jump right into the class. We asked for more focus on making the pizzas vs the other recipes, so he brought those delicious dishes already made. The toppings he brought were top-tier - two different tomato sauces he made from fresh tomatoes, homemade bechamel, three cheeses, fresh herbs, sausage, vegetables, etc. We dove in to hands-on sessions where he taught us about making two kinds of dough and forming the pizzas. Then we all learned how to get them in and out of the oven (we used our wood-burning Ooni and the electric one he brought). My husband had been having challenges in our Ooni with the dough sticking to the peel when putting them in the oven and topping falling off when he removed them, and Chef gave him tips on preventing that and recommendations for better tools (I had bought an Ooni brand perforated peel and it didn't get enough of the flour off the bottom). We made sooo many pizzas, so we got a lot of practice, and had leftovers to feed some hungry neighbors later on. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon spent chatting, cooking and eating - our teen boys even enjoyed it. We look forward to finding another excuse to cook with Chef Motti!

Booked the event Exciting Dumpling Duos with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

A huge thank you to Chef Parsati for such an incredible cooking class experience! Learning how to make both vegetarian and chicken dumplings from scratch was so much fun, but what made it even more special was how much knowledge she shared along the way. Not only did we learn cooking techniques, but she also taught us about the nutritional value of using fresh herbs and ingredients to season the filling naturally. The passion, patience, and care she brought to the experience made it unforgettable. Amazing food, amazing energy, and an amazing teacher — we loved every minute of it and can’t wait to take another class!

Booked the class Taste of Greek Coast with Chef Karen

Karen was amazing, my wife and I had a terrific time learning all the tips and tricks cooking some impressive greek food. You can learn so much cooking alongside Karen, she's knowledgeable, prepared, and above all she made it fun! The chicken was seasoned to PERFECTION and the dessert was AMAZING. Would 100% cook with Karen again, we highly recommend her!!

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.

Pasta!

Angela G. Angela G.

Booked the class Baking Classics with Chef Karen

This was a wonderfully fun day cooking with Chef Karen. We made fancy deviled eggs, a tart tatin, tiramisu, and cannoli. My husband was quite happy to come home to an array of delicious foods!

Laurinda H. Laurinda H.

Booked the event Interactive Italian Pasta Making with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
