Melissa was a great hostess. She was very attentive to my texts and Q's before the class. She contacted us a week before to let us know there was an opening, as we had booked another class several months out. Then she communicated her vaccination status and policies about vaccination which we were really confused about since it's 2026. My husband developed a cold and we were considering canceling 2 days before, but the cozy meals refund policy was 48 hours so we attended the class. There was one other couple. We learned how to make sushi rolls using sushi rice, fish, avocado, cucumber, caviar, and spices. Melissa prepared a gluten-free dairy-free dessert for us, and we played a spice game and had a gratitude session. It was an enjoyable couple's evening experience.

Chef Shailini was wonderful and went above and beyond to make our night special! Everything was delicious and I canâ€™t wait to impress all my friends by making them some delicious chicken tikka masala! This experience was a surprise birthday present for my dad and it was a BIG hitâ€”what a blast! Will definitely do some more in the future!

Shailiniâ€™s Nepalese cooking class isnâ€™t a classâ€”itâ€™s an invitation. From the moment you step into her warm, inviting kitchen, the intimate setting makes you feel like part of a family. A gifted and passionate teacher, Shailini has a way of unraveling the secrets of Nepalese cuisine, breaking down complex traditions into simple, intuitive steps. She illuminates the "why" behind every technique, and her love for the food she creates is wonderfully contagious. The learning extends far beyond the stove. Shailini armed us with invaluable advice for navigating spice aisles and selecting quality ingredients, practical knowledge that brings the vibrant, aromatic flavors of Nepal to life. Learning in the comfort of her home was what made the experience so unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this class for anyone craving a genuine cultural and culinary experience. You will leave with more than just recipes; you will leave with a newfound appreciation for the beautiful art of Nepalese cooking.

My Girlfriend and I went to our first Cozy meal class with Chef Shailini and had a fabulous time. Shailini is an expert chef who pays great attention to detail, provides numerous tips along the way, involves her students, and is able to cook 5 dishes simultaneously. The meals were practical for us to make ourselves which we now plan on, and the atmosphere was very casual and warm with some good laughs a long the way. The interaction between the different groups attending was friendly and we all sat and ate together with a lively coversation going. We highly recommend this class!

Amazing class!! I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to make different flatbreads to incorporate into their lives! Chef Sawsan gave so many great tips about baking! Chef was so thorough and this class allowed for all types of hands on opportunities. Also, got to see all the behind the scenes of the kitchen and how chef's bake on a mass scale! The food tasted amazing, with the best part that it was all vegan! I really loved this experience!!

The "Authentic Nepalese Cuisine" class with Chef Shailini was absolutely amazing. Not only was the food excellent, but Chef Shailini was an incredible host who really made us feel at home in her home while we were there. We shared stories about our lives and travels as we cooked, and heard all about Chef Shailini's experiences traveling, teaching, and cooking. It really felt like gathering around the kitchen and table with a friend we hadn't seen in a while. We learned so much about Nepalese cuisine and cooking, and Chef Shailini was sensitive and accommodating to our allergen information. It bears repeating that the food was fantastic, and we got to cook and eat a wide variety of dishes that all came together beautifully. I would wholeheartedly recommend this class!

I gave this cooking class to my adult daughter and husband as their Christmas present this past year. They attended the class with Chef Melissa and they said that it was such a wonderful experience! Chef Melissa was so gracious and knowledgeable! She welcomed them warmly and got to know their experience level and also, what they wanted to learn from the class. After getting to know them a bit she started the lesson. The instruction was easy to follow and she made it fun. She had extremely fresh ingredients and taught them what types of herbs and seasonings would work in cooking their meal. She worked step by step explaining every detail. She had them participate in little contests like who could identify certain spices and she gave out fun little prizes. The meal was absolutely delicious and now they feel comfortable cooking recipes that were not usually in their comfort zone. I would highly recommend this cooking class to any level cook. It was absolutely worth every penny and we are already planning our next class. Thank you Chef Melissa!!!!

For Christmas, my sister and I got my dad the Indian food cooking class with Chef Shailini. We had a fantastic time, learning to cook with the chef in a relaxed and fun setting at her home. Over the course of a few hours, we prepped and cooked seven dishes: a coconut chutney snack, a gobi aloo matar, a chicken tikka masala, a saffron pulao rice dish, a cucumber yogurt relish, a light refreshing salad, and a rice pudding dessert. Along the way, Chef Shailini gave us lessons about the food -- both cooking techniques as well as history about the dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we left full, contented, and with all the recipes, so we can make them again on our own.

This was my second class with Chef Shailini, and it confirmed why I came back. The menuâ€”Kachumbar, Aloo Gobi Mataar, Chicken Tikka Masala, Raita, Dhania Chutney, Saffron Pulao, and Kheerâ€”hit all the â€œrestaurant favoriteâ€ notes, but the real value was learning the how behind each dish. Shailini had everything organized, explained the purpose of each spice, and showed simple techniques that raised our confidence: how to bloom spices properly, build a bright chutney, and get tender chicken without drying it out. The pacing was perfectâ€”hands-on without feeling rushedâ€”and she offered considered spice heat levels. As in my first class with her, the setting was warm and welcoming; everyone felt comfortable asking questions and tasting along the way. I cannot wait to receive the recipes and attempt to try like what I did after the first class. If youâ€™re curious about Indian cooking (beginner or returning student), this class delivers: practical skills, great flavors, and a host who truly cares about teaching. Highly recommended. â€” Han Chang

Chef Melissa's class was spectacular! Her personality is warm, patient, and welcoming. Our evening was spent making a delicious 3-course meal and was filled with hands-on learning, helpful instruction, and a lot of laughter. We greatly enjoyed learning about Chef Melissa's culinary background (which is incredibly impressive). From our first interaction, it was clear that Chef Melissa loves what she does and has a deep passion for creating memories with others. We absolutely recommend!

My Cozymeal cooking class was a big hit. There were eight of us and we opted for the Greek cooking class with Chef Shailini. What a great time, the food was amazing and the best part is that everyone helped cook it, even those of us who were not cooking savvy. The Chef made us all feel welcomed in her kitchen, she was a great host. Come hungry, thereâ€™s a lot of food. Looking forward to trying the recipes at home.

Loved this class!! The atmosphere was relaxed, the recipes well thought out and delicious, the preparation she did was perfect - allowing us to do just the right amount of work. Then, the best part was getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor by sitting down with the other guests and Shailini. She is pro at teaching, cooking, and hosting. A trifecta of cooking class success!

We had such an incredible experience with Chef Shailini from start to finish! She was extremely accommodating and was very flexible working with me to schedule a time on the day of my wife's birthday. The food was spectacular as was her instruction. We will be using her recipes for years to come. She shared many wonderful and engaging stories about her experience as a chef and about the origins of Indian cuisine. We would highly recommend her class!

We had so much fun taking Chef Lisaâ€™s macaron class! We found parking easily, weâ€™re greeted and attended to right away, and went over our experience and questions before jumping in to cooking. Once started, all the ingredients were ready to go and she helped us with step by step instructions while providing her own tips along the way! She made the time together enjoyable with her witty sense of humor and had us splitting out tasks to get everything accomplished in the time we had together. We left with a ton of delicious cookies and were surprised WE made them ourselves! Had a blast and would recommend!

Cooking with Chef Melissa was so fun! We did a private event with my two adult children and their friends as a family Christmas present. Chef Melissa was good at explaining how to do thingsâ€¦I actually was able to fold good looking potstickers! But even better was her personality, she is a lovely caring person and made the entire night enjoyable.

Gifted this experience to my boyfriend! We are both foodies and enjoy Asian cuisine and this class was a wonderful time! Our favorite creations during the class were the momo and the dessert, but everything was delicious and we left with very full bellies! Chef Shailini created a very open environment for all skill levels and was incredibly welcoming and friendly!

I did not know what to expect especially being in a group with other people. Chef Shailini made everyone comfortable and gave everyone the opportunity to participate at their comfort level I would recommend this class and would be interested in trying other classes. Overall a great experience!

I had the pleasure of meeting and cooking with Chef Shailini. The menu and suggestions for drink were sent ahead of time. Chef Shailini took us step by step on how to make the dishes and introduced the class to the aromatic South Asian spices-- most importantly she suggested where and what brands to buy for the best result. For myself with Middle Eastern background , some of the aroma and the similarities of the dishes brought back sweet childhood memories of my mother land. The menu was chuck full of delicious food. The richness and variety of food was a treat for the senses. Cheft Shailini told many good stories about the ingredients, the food and the culture which further enhanced the experience. After satisfying the palate with food and desert, we ended the night with Indian dance that Chef Shailini led. Thank you Chef Shailini, I enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it to others.

This was our first cooking class ever and enjoyed it a ton. Chef Lisa made the process fun and not just us following recipe instructions. She explained why were were doing everything and answered any cooking/baking questions we had and of course the stuff we baked turned out as tasty as it sounded. We would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes baking, whether you're a newbie or just looking to learn how to make something new

Melissaâ€™s dumpling class exceeded our expectations! We had such a great time, the food was delicious, and Melissa is so sweet. The class was set up perfectly. We appreciated all the cooking tips, the fresh organic ingredients, and Melissaâ€™s insight into the food and culture surrounding the food. Also, the class was BYOB and prior to the class Melissa went out of her way to give us some thoughtful recommendations. We went with her favorite Japanese beer which was so delicious I will continue to buy it. We left feeling like we could replicate our own dumplings at home and are excited to do so. She is a great chef, teacher, and person. And a plus - we got to take extra dumplings home which we devoured immediately! Thank you to Chef Melissa.
