Great evening with Chef Roddy and his team. The food was great. We had a good blend of helping to cook and also networking with our team. A wonderful night overall. I would highly suggest. We did the Paella cooking class and it was delicious and plenty of food for all 9 of us. Thank you Chef!'

Paella and Tapas
with Chef Daniel
in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)
We had a great time, and the tapas and paellas that we were making are something that I can continue to make at home. It was delicious. But more importantly, Chef Daniel is patient and thoughtful. He shares his experience organizing one's kitchen, prepping before cooking, using a knife effectively, and managing the heat during cooking, all of those little things that make up an excellent dish. Something you couldn't get from merely reading and following the recipe. It is about learning great cooking habits and workflow. One tends to want to cook more often if one has a great workflow and process to achieve the desired outcome.

Modernized Spanish Tapas
with Chef Ruel
in San Jose (North San Jose)
Cooking class with Chef Ruel was a fantastic experience! My boyfriend and I attended the Spanish Tapas class right before Valentine's day. Chef Ruel had a lovely setup with all the necessary ingredients at hand. Another couple was also present for the class and we all split up to chop and prepare different parts of the meal. Chef Ruel provided some basic cooking tips as well ad advanced instruction on how everything comes together for the final presentation. We had a delightful time taking the class and really enjoyed spending the evening with the other couple, Chef Ruel, and Shelly.

Chef Mikki was great! He was friendly, adapted for our personal needs and experience levels, and the food turned out delicious. Using the skills we learned in our cooking class, we have even been able to add a yummy paella to our cooking repertoire, and have made it successfully at home! Thank you Chef Mikki for a wonderful experience!

Classic Paella Techniques
with Chef Mikki
We had a great date night at Chef Mikki’s cooking class. He was accommodating to a gluten allergy we had but everything turned out delicious. He was knowledgeable of all our questions pertaining to the recipe and general cooking questions. He had a great personality as well.
I wish the class would have been more hands on.

Spanish Classics
with Chef John
It was a wonderful experience! ? I did a birthday surprise for my boyfriend. He loves cooking.
Thought that it would be a group lesson, but then was surprised that kitchen is at chefs home and a class is private ?
The process of cooking was fun and nice. John explained everything very clear. So we cooked paella and a dessert (which name I forgot).
Really loved paella cooking and tasting.
But the dessert wasn’t my style.

Secrets of Paella for 2
with Chef Joni
in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)
Chef Joni was an amazing teacher for our Paella for two class. She had everything laid out beautifully and even had a little snack area so we could munch while cooking. The first thing we made was Sangria, which was lovely to sip on throughout the class. She taught us new techniques for cutting veggies and also introduced us to new ingreidents we hadn't used before. She also made sure to capture all the moments for us, taking pictures, and really laying out her areas to be "instagram ready." We made paella but also a valencia orange cake which was so easy to make and tastey! The decorating of the desserts portion of the class was so fun! Our time with her flew by even though the class actually ran a little longer than scheduled! The result was amazing food and an amazing time. She even took us out to her garden to see the veggies she was growing. She was very kind and obviously passionate about her work. We had plenty of left over food and Sangria to take home. I highly recommend a class with Chef Joni!

We had a great time celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday with John! His place was very cozy and clean- he was very welcoming and shared tons of funny stories with us.
We took the paella class, John was an amazing teacher, and allowed us to be as hands on as we wanted. He showed us his garden which was bountiful with beautiful flowers, herbs and fresh fruits.
We loved the experience so much, it was our first cooking class ever and it was definitely one of the best dates (and most unique) we had! Kudos to John and thank you John again for your hospitality!! Highly highly 100% recommend!

We had a great time with Chef Joni. Her class was very informative and the little extras that she did were so appreciated. The knife skills she gave us were so helpful. We loved the Paella and it was nice to have Chef Joni dine with us! She also showed us how to make Spanish Sangria. We so enjoyed our time in the kitchen with Chef 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.

Such a wonderful experience with Chef Daniel! My partner and I learned how to make tapas and a seafood paella, which turned out delicious! Having very little experience in culinenary, Chef Daniel makes you feel comfortable in the kitchen, which made the class enjoyable and fun! I would highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to learn (and of course eat!) Spanish cuisine.

Secrets of Paella
with Chef Joni
in South Bay & Peninsula (Snail)
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 :)

Chef Joni was amazing! She was so much fun to cook with. She taught us great cooking skills but was careful to meet us where we were at in our culinary experience, and she never made us feel intimidated. One of my favorite parts of the experience was that she brought in alot of food science into the class which helped us to understand what was happening with our food and why at certain points in the process. I would highly recommend taking a class with her!

A Paella Party

This experience was great! The meal was delicious and her teaching style was easy to follow and very educational. She made us feel comfortable and served us at the end. Only negative feedback would be that for the price we felt we should be able to take home the leftover food which there was plenty.

A Night in España
with Chef Barbara

I reserved 2 spots for my wife and I for my wife's birthday and we had so much fun! Ive done Cozy meal before and my last class had around 8 people in the class and it sometimes made it hard to participate, but Chef Barbary only allows for 4 people to attend making it much more personal and eventful.

with Chef Joni

Had a great time cooking with Joni on Mother's Day. The kitchen was huge with plenty or room for us. My wife, son and I prepared a meal that I believe we could reproduce at home in the future. My 10 year old learned some knife skills, some new kitchen hacks, was very involved in preparing the food, and gained more confidence in the kitchen overall. Oh, and the food was delicious! Great time all-around.

Chef Polina taught my boyfriend and I how to prepare and cook paella with shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken, and chorizo. Her passion, expertise, and sense of humor made our date a fun, educational, intimate experience and we had an excellent time with just the 3 of us. Chef Polina also included a few easy appetizers and fruit for dessert. She has a beautiful home and garden and we felt very comfortable in her home. I would definitely take her class again!
