WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE COOKING CLASSES IN LA JOLLA & PACIFIC BEACH

Booked the class Classic Pasta for Kids with Chef Jordan W. in Julian

We booked Chef Jordan's cooking class for Father's Day and it turned into one of our favorite family memories. From the moment we arrived at his house, the whole experience felt warm and welcoming, and the kids were hooked on the activity right away. We honestly had more fun than we ever imagined. What really got me was watching my picky eater. She is usually hesitant to try anything new, but she was excited and happy to taste every dish we made. Chef Jordan has such a great way with kids, patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about cooking. Since the class, my kids have been showing real interest in cooking, asking to help in the kitchen, and talking about what we made that day. We will be cheering to this memory for years to come. Highly recommend Chef Jordan for any family looking for a fun, hands-on experience that might just spark a new love of cooking.

Booked the class Outdoor Farm-to-Table Feast with Chef Jordan W. in Escondido

What an incredible experience! Chef Jordan gave us far more than a meal, he gave us an education and a memory we'll be talking about for a long time. His knowledge of food as medicine was fascinating, and his calm, welcoming demeanor made the entire experience feel approachable and fun. The food itself was absolutely epic, but what really made the day special was everything we learned along the way. From proper knife skills to new ways to cut and prepare fruits and vegetables, Jordan shared techniques that will change how we cook at home. He even managed to convince our palates that not all peppers are created equal! Today was fun, unique, delicious, and exactly what we were hoping for as an anniversary cooking experience. Thank you, Jordan, for your generosity, your expertise, and for creating such a memorable day. We can't wait to cook with you again!

Booked the class Pasta Fresca with Chef Marty in San Diego (Mid-City)

Our team did Marta’s Italian cooking lesson as an offsite and it was a huge hit. Marta made everyone feel welcome, from beginners to foodies. Great instruction, lots of laughs, and amazing food. Perfect mix of skill-building + bonding. Highly recommend for any team looking for a unique activity. Thanks Marta for hosting us!

Booked the class Sushi-Centered Feast with Chef Krong in Del Mar

Super fun experience making sushi with Chef Krong! She was incredibly attentive and took the time to clearly explain each step, which made the whole experience even better. She also took photos for us and was so thoughtful about giving us space to enjoy dinner together. She wrapped everything up quickly and left the kitchen tighty. I’d definitely recommend booking with your partner, friends, or even for a company event!

Booked the class Classic Italian Desserts with Chef ShaSha in Chula Vista

We made Ricotta Cannoli, Panna Cotta, Ricciarelli and chocolate ganache. It was such a great family bonding experience and the desserts came out extremely delicious. My favorite dessert was the Panna Cotta. When I found this class on CozyMeal I knew I wanted to try something different and Chef Shasha was such a pleasant instructor.

Booked the class Pasta-Making Date Night with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (University City)

Chef ShaSha is such a delight! I booked this experience for my boyfriend’s birthday since he loves Italian food and has always wanted to learn how to make pasta from scratch. A few days prior to the event, Chef ShaSha called me and we chatted about the menu. Unfortunately her new ravioli maker hadn’t come in yet so we decided to pivot to making Pappardelle pasta with a red sauce instead. The morning of, she arrived early and brought all necessary items we needed (fresh and prepped ingredients, a pasta roller, etc). She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history behind our food items, given her culinary background and education, and very patient and flexible with us. I really enjoyed how hands-on we got to be. We aren’t the most outgoing people but Chef ShaSha immediately broke the ice and brought so much fun and laughter to the experience. Our food turned out amazing with her help, and most importantly my boyfriend loved the entire event. Can’t speak highly of her enough; would definitely recommend booking!

Booked the class Kids' Pasta-Making 101 with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (Linda Vista)

We had such a wonderful time with Chef Shasha! All 3 of my kiddos get hands on with making all 3 courses and LOVED learning how pasta actually gets made! The food was delicious, we had laughter and learning, very much looking forward to another opportunity to cook with Chef Shasha!

Farnaz K. Farnaz K.

Booked the class Kids' Pasta-Making 101 with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (Scripps Ranch)

Chef ShaSha was amazing! She was kind and patient with the kiddos and made the entire experience very enjoyable for all of use. The kids learned how to make bruschetta, fettuccini and angel hair pasta and to top it all off made the most delicious ginger bread cookies. Wonderful experience!
