WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in the Bay Area

Such a fun night! Chef Eddie was an amazing teacher, giving detailed instructions plus individual feedback and recommendations to everyone who attended. He also taught us a ton about soy sauces and how to mix different ingredients together to make the perfect dumpling dipping sauce. And of course all the food was exceptionally delicious. We've already discussed looking for more Chef Eddie classes to attend in the future!

What a terrific experience this was. Eddie was outstanding. I'm a school leader, and I know a good teacher when I see one - Eddie is top notch. He gave clear, kind instructions. Everyone got better in a hurry, and we had fun along the way. He was so thoughtful in the construction of the experience over the course of the evening. Couldn't recommend this experience more highly!

10/10 this was an amazing class, and I strongly recommend it! Chef Eddie taught us how to prepare the dumpling dough from scratch. This consisted the kneading, the resting, the breaking off pieces, rolling them out, how to stuff and cook them. What I really appreciated what how creative he was in his teaching methods. For demonstration and practice, he had a rough practice dough for us to practice with while our dough was resting. He even had us practice pleating with Playdo, which I thought was brilliant! There was even a little camera to project what his fingers were doing onto a large TV, so that watch either the finesse of the fingers or the larger view. Chef Eddie also made sure to check in on how we were doing, and provided regular and frequent feedback so that we learned how to do everything correctly. And it worked - all the dumplings in our class survived! In addition, he also demonstrated how to braise pork belly (which was delicious), and how to prepare Tang Yuan as a rice-flour dessert variant of the dumpling. Chef Eddie had us try various soy sauces so that we could experience how they vary in flavor an quality, and also explained to us the stories and cultural significance of these dishes. I absolutely loved this class, and if any of my friends express curiosity in how to make dumplings I will immediately direct them to Chef Eddie. If I could take it again, I would!

We had a fun night with Chef James. We bought food together at a market and then joined him in his kitchen for the prep and then meal. By one critique is that I wish there was more content to the evening--meaning learning more, hearing more stories about what we were eating and the style of cooking. Overall, the food was fantastic.

This was an amazing class in a beautiful, quiet place. Chef Polina is one of the most creative chefs I've ever met, experimenting with infusions, homemade vinegars, ciders, and of course her family of quail! She even embroidered her own linens when she couldn't find ones she liked. She's wonderfully friendly and patient, and tells wonderful stories about her childhood in Russia.

We had such a fun time at Chef EddieвЂ™s dumpling class! My husband and I made dumplings from scratch for the first time, and Eddie was super encouraging, upbeat, and helpful the whole way through. The dumplings turned out delicious, and he even topped off the meal with his homemade braised pork belly and dessertвЂ”such a nice touch! The whole experience felt really homey and relaxed, with a small, intimate group that made it even better. Would definitely recommend for a date night, friend hangout, or even a team bonding activity. CanвЂ™t recommend this class enough!!!

Chef Edmund is incredible! It was such a fun class and we felt like we left feeling like we could really walk away with the skills of doing this at home. He was so fun as well and made for a great date night...and the food at the end was incredible! Thank you!

We had a really great experience with Chef Eddie at the dumpling making class. Eddie was super friendly and a great host for the evening. We had a lot of fun making the dumplings and Eddie was awesome about coming around to help give each of us tips on our technique as we went. Getting a feel for what the wrappers should feel like and how to pleat them was essential and it made us feel ready to recreate the dumplings at home. The dumplings turned out delicious and the braised pork that Eddie made for us was also delicious. Would highly recommend this class to others!

Great, intimate experience. Food and cooking class were excellent. Pre-meal snack was lovely. Chef James really knows his stuff and was really patient explaining everything. Market tour was pretty short and could be better structured.

Eddie was an exceptional teacher, host, dinner companion! I really enjoyed this class and it gave me the greatest impression of CozyMeal. There's some really exceptional cooks in San Francisco and it's such a special experience to be invited into their home and cook with them. I loved learning to prepare the dumpling dough, roll, and stuff them. It was also a treat to learn about soy sauces and get to eat his other delicious food. Thanks chef Eddie!

Fantastic evening that surpassed our expectations by miles! Chef Edmund was the perfect host and teacher вЂ” super organized and knowledgeable. He broke every aspect of the process down into manageable bites (pun intended). We learned a ton and had so much fun. I highly recommend this experience!

Eddie was a wonderful teacher and person and general. His passion clearly came through and he made the cooking experience and the corresponding conversation really fun! Highly recommend taking a class with him.

Chef Eddie is THE MAN! He is incredibly knowledgable, and takes the time to ensure that you (the student) absorb the techniques and information heвЂ™s delivering. He breaks down cooking into the art of combining 5 flavors rather than of following exact recipes, an incredibly refreshing and delicious take on how to operate your kitchen. Overall 10/10! Thanks so much Chef! WeвЂ™ll be back for the next class you offer!!

Chef James was great. He answered our questions, was very welcoming and overall a lovely host. It was a great escape from the office for our team of 8 people.

A terrific meal, simply prepared. I was looking to learn some cooking techniques. He made a pasta with cream sauce, a salad, sauteed squashes and ramps, and a leg of lamb, each with only a few ingredients, but all wonderful.
