Booked the class Traditional French Pastries with Chef Eric in San Francisco (Noe Valley)

This is an overdue review for an incredible time with Chef Eric! My boyfriend and I took his French Pastry class around Valentine's Day and it was such a great learning experience. Eric walked us through all the steps, showed us his techniques of making the perfect dough, and also sent us home with extra dough so we could make a second galette at home on our own. Overall, highly recommend Chef Eric and we're looking forward to taking more of his classes!

Booked the class The Magic of Macarons with Chef Eloise in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

Chef Eloise was very knowledgeable about macarons and was very friendly. For such a technical dish, she made it fun and easy to follow along. The one suggestion I would make is for her to play some soft music in the background to add to the ambiance of the experience.

Chef Lamia was amazing! It was a perfect way for my friends and I to spend the evening together. She made us feel so welcome in her home. The pace and format of the class enabled us to balance observing and learning with cooking, which was a very relaxing pace. She shared practical tips and her passion for cooking--and was a great storyteller! The icing was sitting down to enjoy the delicious meal we had created together. Chef Lamia is a treasure!

Booked the class French-Moroccan Fare with Chef Lamia in San Francisco (Sunset)

We came to visit San Francisco for a Bachelorette Party and we wanted something a little more relaxed during the day. Lamia made sure we had a great time! The food was fantastic and she made us feel right at home. She let us cook the meal hands on so we can remember how to put the ingredients together. I 100% recommend her to my friends and family, thank you again Chef Lamia!!

What an incredible experience this was. I have never taken a cooking class before but this certainly was a great way to start. Chef Lamia is not only an incredible cook, but a great teacher. I feel confident in my ability to recreate the meal my team and I made. I will definitely book another class with Chef Lamia! I cant wait to go back to her beautiful home.

Chef Christine was great.Â It was clear she was knowledgable in the field of sweet breads and was able to troubleshoot some small hangups we experienced along the way. Moreover she was really organized which allowed us to bake 3 full bread recipes in just 3 hours, allowing us to take home our creations to share with our loved ones.Â

Booked the class The Magic of Macarons with Chef Eloise in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

It was an awesome experience with a very talented chef but I wish the cafe would have been closed for the 2 hours we were there, the people walking through took away from the over all experience

Eloise is a professional and has no issue sharing her baking secrets! Where some may wish for more hands lessons, I felt the amount of work applied by all parties made it very enjoyable! We definitely recommend Eloise and her beautiful location.

Booked the class Classic Chocolate Desserts with Chef Jean Yves in San Francisco (Russian Hill)

I did the lava cake and floorless chocolate cake with my girlfriend. Chef Jean was highly entertaining, and the desserts were delicious (coming from a guy who is picky about sweets). We had a lot of fun with him, and would highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic results! Chef Eliose did a wonderful job of allowing each of us to participate in the baking process, and the outcome far exceeded our expectations. We each got to take home a dozen beautiful macarons, and she even gave us a bottle of bellini to enjoy.

Pooya J.

Booked the class French-Moroccan Fare with Chef Lamia in San Francisco (Sunset)

Chef Lamia's Morrocan Tagine class was all I could ask for a cooking class. The class was interactive, and she taught us all the steps and let us do most parts of the work. Ingredients were organic and high quality, and we all enjoyed all the dishes afterward. Her place was also beautiful, and she was a great host as well as a great chef.

Kate B.

Lovely time with Chef Jean Yves. Lots of laughs, lots of sugar, lots of love for France. Happy Bastille Day. And thank you for everything.

Diana P.

Booked the class The Magic of Macarons with Chef Eloise in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

It was a really great experience to learn how to do macarons. This 2h class mostly goes over the process of how macarons are done, be part of preparing the creams and then get to form your own macarons. Our macarons were delicious, though nobody told us until now that you actually need to have patience and wait 24-48 until is recommended for them to be eaten :D.

Vanessa M.

Booked the class Baking Basic Layer Cakes with Chef Jean Yves in San Francisco (Russian Hill)

We arrived to make a basic layer cake, and we left with a spectacular dessert. It was fun to make, interesting, but a bit challenging with his French accent. Overall, an enjoyable cooking class!

Junko I.

Booked the class Cookie Making with Chef Eloise in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

I really enjoyed Chef Eloise cookie baking class! She paid attentions to details and gave us informations that we needed to know to make delicious cookies. Before this class, I tried to bake cookies a few times. I got some recipes online or books, but sometimes it was hard to get things right, like how soft butter should be or how the dough should be like. She instructed all. This is a ideal hands-on class and I loved her class very much!

Emily C.

Booked the class The Magic of Macarons with Chef Eloise in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

Masha R.

Booked the class French-Moroccan Fare with Chef Lamia in San Francisco (Sunset)

This was our first class with Cozymeal and we couldn't be happier about our experience with Chef Lamia! We took her French-Moroccan cooking class and left feeling informed, inspired, and definitely well-fed! Chef Lamia is a knowledgeable chef experienced in many cuisines, but what makes her special is her warmth, generosity and approachability. She instantly made us feel welcome and led us through the process of the three-course meal prep, from start to finish. Not only was she friendly and encouraging during the whole process, but she also answered a lot of my cooking questions and helped address my everyday menu planning, stress-free. As a result, I am no longer scared of taking on a souffle or a cheese puff, and feel more confident about using various spices. Plus, we learned some French, too, since Chef Lamia is a native speaker! It takes a true professional to keep the integrity of the dishes and at the same time make the learning process exciting and accessible. We'll definitely take her classes again!

Chef Eloise is a master of her craft! You really get a grasp of her passion for baking as she guides you through the steps. Her personality only adds to the fun! Thank you Chef ?

Va H.

Booked the class The Magic of Macarons with Chef Eloise in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

Chef Eloise was very clear in her instructions. She made sure everyone was following what we were doing. She stopped to ask us if we had any questions. There is a bit of prep already done like a celebrity chef cooking on a talk show. But if everyone were to get the hands-on experience, you would need a more extensive classroom and a quite bit more time. Not to mention a lot of macarons wouldn't have turned out as nice as ours did.

Megan B.

Booked the class The Magic of Macarons with Chef Eloise in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

I would have liked to be more involved in more if the steps so that I felt better able to replicate the recipe at home.

Parissa S.

Booked the class Introduction to Cream Puffs with Chef Jean Yves in San Francisco (Russian Hill)

Chef Jean was very knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to learn from him! It would have been nice to be able to take home all the cream puffs that we made.
