We had so much fun at Chef Lorenzo's class! The food was great and tasted so good after a long day of work. If you are considering booking, I would highly recommend. Make sure to bring your own wine if you are interested in having some for your event, there is a wine store nearby if you need to make a trip. Will be booking this again for future team events!

My partner and I had a blast at Chef Pooja's Asian Fusion Feast cooking class. We were warmly welcomed into her spacious and cozy kitchen, where we got hands-on experience whipping up a feast. We left the class properly stuffed and inspired to whip up the delicious recipes at home. Thanks for the fantastic experience, Chef!

We LOVED our Dim Sum & then Some cooking class with Chef Mike! From his thorough knowledge of ingredients, flavor profiles, putting together a menu, having each of the six of us work on specific tasks in perfect orchestration - everything about this experience was spectacular! We learned so much and had a delicious home-cooked dim sum meal and met some new friends in the process. Can't recommend this experience enough!

The Chef was awesome, great personality, very fun and engaging. The group had a good time! However, the venue itself (I believe the chef's home) was quite shocking. There was a mess everywhere. There were non-functioning lights. The space was small but very untidy and felt chaotic. There was also a cat, which for our group was OK, but might affect others if there are allergies for guests, etc. The supplies were mis-matched and it felt disjointed. He had everything mapped and planned out well, but just seemed too casual for a corporate group. I would not suggest this for any type of executive/corporate group - but Ok for a group of friends or family.

Our Executive Team of 11 had a wonderful Italian team building cooking experience with Chef Dirk! He has such a great, upbeat personality that had all of us laughing and engaged. We made a wonderful meal of homemade pasta and sauces, the dessert was fabulous and we really enjoyed our evening. He did a great job of accommodating our 3 food restrictions. I highly recommend him if you want a yummy dinner, great entertainment and to learn how to cook!

I found Chef Joni Sare on Cozymeal and booked her for my team offsite as my 3 other team members found her Master Italian Classics Cooking Class to be a fun learning experience. Boy were we right. If you don't read my full review, all I can say is that Chef Joni was an EXCELLENT instructor and my team members and I had such a good time. We were smiling ear-to-ear the entire time we were there. Highly recommended from this reviewer. Detailed review below: Communication (5/5): We used the Cozymeal platform for everything and found their interface amazing. Chef Joni was very pro-active and communicated with me several times before the event date on January 17, 2020. What stood out about this communication was that she really wanted to know us. She asked good questions like "Why did you choose this class?", "What do you hope to learn from it?", "What are your goals?" etc. Really appreciate this since she can cater the class to exactly your needs. She was also very accommodating when I told her that one of our team members was a vegetarian so she made sure she had a vegetarian option on hand during our class. Finally, before the event, she gave us extremely detailed directions to the location of the event (including a picture) and what to expect. Really outstanding communication here. Location (5/5): Her location is in her house located in Sunnyvale near major highways. Lots of street parking once you arrive so no issues on parking. The inside is well decorated and everything seems to be remodeled including her kitchen which was very modern. See pics to get an idea. Food (5/5): The Master Italian Classics Cooking Class contains the following menu: 1.) Antipasti - Cheese, crackers, almonds, pepper jelly to snack on throughout the whole meal while you are there 2.) Handmade Fettuccine Alfredo 3.) Ragu (Mushrooms, many vegetables) - Our protein was lamb for the meat-eaters and tofu for our vegetarian team member. 4.) Tiramisu - for dessert. I don't want to spoil too much of the class but I'll share some of the highlights for me at least. Preparing the Fettuccine Dough from scratch including folding it, kneading it, was a really fun experience. Also running through the dough through the pasta machine to stretch it and finally cut it into actually the noodles was such a cathartic experience. I'm really happy I got to experience that. The Ragu was so delicious and so healthy at the same time as we barely used any vegetable oil and we put in so many vegetables. Finally, the tiramisu making was actually pretty easy but delicious at the same time. Now that I have been through how to make Tiramisu, I am confident I can make it for a party without issue. Also, if you can't finish all the food you make, Chef Joni gives you take-out boxes to bring home so you can enjoy the food again! Our group also had leftover uncooked fettuccine and we got to take that home. Chef Joni (5/5): Last but not least Chef Joni was an excellent instructor. She was so bubbly and easy to talk to and really put the group at ease very quickly. She was masterful on dividing up certain tasks in the kitchen so we can all participate in the cooking journey and made sure we were doing the steps properly. We asked her so many questions during our time in the class and she happily answered every single one of them without being annoyed. It was nice to finish the class with all of us including Chef Joni eating at the table. Chef Joni's passion for cooking really shines through her class and we had a great time! Our team can't wait to come back. Thank you Chef Joni for a great class.

Our family of 10 had an amazing time celebrating our annual Day After Christmas Surprise! Chef ZivaвЂ™s kitchen was ready for our arrival with all the ingredients organized and laid out on ChefвЂ™s long, long, long kitchen table. In our fettucini making class, Chef Ziva first demonstrated how to create the dough and then process it through the pasta making machine. Four of us were assigned to this task while the remaining six of our family was divided between making the bruchetta and preparing the creamy mushroom sauce that would be incorporated into the fettucini. Chef Ziva is a natural teacher - knowledgeable, patient, and caring. She made our cooking adventure enjoyable and memorable. Making our meal from scratch was not only a learning experience - it was a lot of fun, especially when we sat down in Chef ZivaвЂ™s dining room and shared the fruits of our labor making pasta...from scratch!

Chef David is not only a great chef, he's charismatic and a lot of fun. He knows how to walk the fine line between being playful and casual while also remaining very professional - quite a feat! The meal was absolutely delicious, and we picked up a lot of everyday cooking skills like tips and tricks that will dramatically reduce the time it takes for you to chop vegetables! Lots of fun, I highly recommend

Our team (12 ppl) had a great time at Chech Ziva's class. Homemade pasta is the best! We all learned some new cooking tricks and can't wait for next time.

I've done many cooking classes both personally and professionally and really loved Joni's style. She was so organized, well prepared and provided great guidance through the whole cooking experience. We connected earlier to make sure she was aware of the team dynamic and any special requests for drinks, allergies and such. As a result, she was prepared and managed all 9 of us really well. highly recommend her as an instructor. She's got lots of tips and tricks up her sleeve so you are sure to learn something even if you are a pro! Thank you Joni!

Chef Joni's paella class was fabulous! The kitchen was beautiful. Chef Joni was so personable and knowledgeable. We learned about each ingredient, and how different ingredients can be substituted. It was very hands on. The paella tasted delicious, the sangria was sooo good, and the desert, Valencia Orange Cake melted in our mouths. I definitely recommend this class.

Chef Phoebe was a great host and teacher for our Taste of Japan class! My team had a great time, and everyone liked doing some hands on sushi-making, but sort of only really needing to do the fun parts (and not the prep, clean up or preparation of the sides). We also appreciated the history and technique that Chef Phoebe taught us. Lastly, the venue was absolutely perfect and we loved having the private setting.

Short review - "Chef Joni is amazing!". Long review - We went as a small group (size=8) and we cooked a big pot of Paella. Chef Joni was actively making sure everyone was involved and learned something new! She paced the evening with right amount of explanations pertaining to the recipe and general cooking concepts. She also graciously accommodated the request for a vegetarian paella by some of us. We had great fun and ate a great meal (including appetizers and a cake at the end!). Thank you Chef Joni for the fun evening :)

Kyle M.

Fantastic! Ziva was great. She took our party of 10 and got everyone involved and made it a real special event for my wife's birthday. Thanks you so much :)
