Booked the event Asian Fusion Culinary Challenge with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
We did the cozymeal cooking class (Asian fusion) as part of our team building activity. It was very fun and interactive. We learned so much about the different dishes, Chef Dirk and his assistant, Max, were also very friendly and funny! They had fun giveaways as well. The food was delicious. We were a group of 14 and it was just a new and refreshing way to have dinner with your colleagues apart from the traditional business meal dinner. highly recommend. They provide aprons for you but we brough our own company branded aprons.

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 Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
Gluten Free Dumpling Delights class taught my friends and I how to make dough for steamed dumplings with ground chicken, veggies and spices and we also used rice paper for a lightly fried veggie with chickpeas and spices roll. We assisted making these rolls. Chef Parsati showed us how to make the sauces for them. We also made a chocolate, mango dessert with coconut flour and cardamon spice. We all really enjoyed the flavors of the hot foods. Chef was friendly, knowledgeable, social and helpful. Class was held in her home kitchen. She did prep work before we began and she cleaned up after we left. The table was preset for our meal. It was a lovely experience.

Booked the class The Best Vegan Biryani Ever with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
Wow--we made Vegetable Biryani (easily made vegan) which was amazing. We accompanied it with tandoori potatoes and halwa for dessert. Chef Parsati was so welcoming and encouraging, talking fast and working at the same time in her well-stocked kitchen. My son gave me the gift of the cooking class for my birthday and I brought a friend. I bought a spice box from Chef Parsati so I could make this festive meal at home. So excited. What a fun adventure. Highly recommend to all.

Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
We had SUCH a good time with Chef Parsati!! She made the class a very welcoming experience, in a homey setting, with plenty of hands-on instruction and fun. The recipes are _delicious_! My wife and I will 100% be making them in our kitchen, especially since Chef Parsati specifically talked about ways that we could adapt what she taught us to make them even more simple and easily even for a weeknight dinner. I really appreciated that she was super-cognizant of our dietary restrictions and went the extra mile to make sure our concerns were addressed and the meal was enjoyable for everyone involved.

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!

Our executive team had a blast with Chef Dirk! Would definitely recommend for a corporate outing. Chef Dirk was so patient with me leading up to the event, answering all my questions in a timely manner. I appreciate your assistance to ensure our team had a fun and unique experience!
Nicole K.
Booked the event Asian Fusion Culinary Challenge with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
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!

Chef Dirk was amazing. I booked this class for my friends birthday and we had so much fun! The food was delicious and Dirk was a great host and instructor.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our first ever Cozymeal experience with Chef Dirk. He graciously welcomed us into his beautiful home and we immediately felt comfortable. Chef Dirk kept our attention, made the class fun and entertaining, all the while having us learn how to prepare the dishes we were about to eat. We had tons of fun preparing the meal and the food was delicious of course! Chef Dirk even had made the visit even more personal by celebrating my wife's birthday. We will definitely be back for another class in the future!

He's super engaging and hilarious. We learned so much and had a great time as well. The food was amazing and his home is beautiful! We had an incredibly fun and memorable evening! Thank you!!

My friend and I throughly enjoyed our cooking experience with Chef Dirk last night. Chef Dirk cheerfully welcomed us into his beautiful home, patiently showed us how to prep various ingredients, cook and plate the final products. We were not rushed through the meal even though it was getting pretty late. We are inspired to recreate the tasty dishes for our friends soon!

Chef Dirk was a pleasure to work with! He was organized, enthusiastic and taught us a lot of tricks we wouldn’t have known otherwise! Customer support with Cozymeal specifically Sandrea and Rosario were amazing!
Booked the class Sophisticated French Feast with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
Chef Dirk was so gracious in inviting us into his home (which happens to be the most gorgeous home.) He ensured that our experience was amazing from the beginning. Every person got a turn on every aspect of the meal, and chef Dirk was so great about making sure this happened. He was very personable and had a great balance of sharing personal annnectodes while at the same time listening to those who were a part of the class! Lastly, the food was absolutley amazing. I felt like I walked out of the experience knowing more about cooking and feeling more confident in the kitchen! Would highly recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful culinary experience at Chef Dirk's lovely residence in San Francisco.

I left another review for this same experience - but I had 2 reservations so I'm leaving 2 reviews! We had a great evening with Chef Dirk and I wholeheartedly recommend this as a great evening out!

Booked the class Sophisticated French Feast with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
Wow! We had an absolute blast with Dirk - an excellent evening out and much more interesting and engaging than just going out for dinner. The cooking class was advertised to be 3 hours but we ended up leaving staying and enjoying our food for another 90 minutes. Dirk was a pleasure to be with, we learned a bit about cooking, and we spent a lovely evening in his beautiful home. I am glad I did this and I look forward to the opportunity to do it again!

Thank you so much for helping make my girlfriend's birthday a little more special. Chef Dirk is full of energy and makes sure that his guests know exactly what they're doing so that the assembly line keeps chugging along, all while making it fun at the same time. He also has jokes for days. The produce are locally sourced in his backyard and he makes sure that all the ingredients he buys are fresh. When we were finally able to eat the food, it was very satisfying and enjoyable. The other people who came to cook also made the atmosphere very welcome. I recommend booking with Chef Dirk!

Booked the class Journey Through Germany with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
My husband and I enjoyed Chef Dirk’s German cooking class! We spent several hours at Chef dirks beautiful home in San Francisco, the kitchen and dining area were very cozy and perfect for our small class. During the class, we learned a lot about German culture and tips and tricks for the dishes we were prepping. I also enjoyed learning on how to keep my kitchen and prepping space more organized, clean and efficient! Chef dirks techniques and system while working in the kitchen were inspiring. The class was very hands on and the dishes were delicious and worth the wait! We also enjoyed the focus on plating our dishes (the dishes were almost too pretty to eat). Throughout the class, Chef dirk was engaging, personable, funny and entertaining. He also was open to answering many of the questions I had Throughout the class. He was a great teacher and host (his strong background in hospitality management showed)! We ended up going over our time but I didn’t mind since we were having so much fun! Would recommend for an intimate afternoon or evening learning how to cook!
Booked the class Sophisticated French Feast with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Eureka Valley)
We had an amazing class with Chef Dirk. Perfect for a team offsite. Chef Dirk was super energetic (and funny!) throughout the class. The food was delicious (+ we got great pointers on table setting and plating)! We had a few vegetarians in the group and he accommodated perfectly. This was the best part of our team offsite and would highly recommend.

Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
We cooked dumplings. I enjoyed the whole class. Since 2 of us are gluten free the chef was very careful with our portions. She made sure we understood the directions and was very comfortable with all questions.
Michelle R.
Booked the event Creative Cooking Challenge with Chef Roddy in San Jose (Campbell)
The classes were great! Everyone loved both classes. The service and food were too notch. The only thing I wish was that there was more competition, as it was billed as a competition team building experience. Otherwise, every single person (all 34 people at 2 separate events) absolutely loved it and are stilll raving about it from weeks ago.

Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
Chef Parsati created a wonderful atmosphere teaching my niece and I how to prepare gluten free dumplings. My niece absolutely loved it, and it's a birthday memory she will treasure for life. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, informative and delicious class!
James d.
Booked the event Exciting Dumpling Duos with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
We attended Chef Parsati's "Exciting Dumpling Duos" lunch cooking class on May 17th, and it was a fun experience! My daughter and I enjoyed bonding while learning to make fried vegetarian and steamed chicken dumplings in her clean, well-organized kitchen. The class is great for beginners or those looking for a casual, hands-on activity. While the recipes were simple and the pace felt a bit rushed, Chef Parsati’s expertise and professionalism stood out. The price was on the higher side, but that’s expected for Bay Area experiences. I’d love to work with Chef Parsati directly for a more personalized class in the future. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable time!
Rishav C.
Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
We learned how to cook dumplings of several kinds. The best thing about Chef Parsati was how easily she demonstrated many possible variations of the dishes which catered to our dietary restrictions. The ingredients were healthy and her techniques ensured that the cooking time was sufficiently short to be adapted for a busy schedule. The dessert was amazing as well and I was amazed to see how efficient the techniques she demonstrated were. I will highly recommend this to everyone. This is a great bonding activity for couples.

Booked the class The Best Vegan Biryani Ever with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
Fantastic class. Chef Parsati taught my wife and I how to make amazing vegan biryani in great detail. The class was a relaxed environment and we had so much fun. We went through every step of making biryani to understand why each step was taken. We also learned how to adapt the recipe at each of those steps depending on equipment, ingredients, and time available. At the end of the course, we had the best vegetarian biryani I have ever had, and my wife and I have the confidence to make this again at home.
