Chef Shailini was wonderful and went above and beyond to make our night special!

We were supposed to make chicken piccata. However, we were shown how to cook two pieces of lemon chicken tenderloins. But, this is not what we ate. We ate boiled chicken pieces over the fettuccine that we made. At least we think the chicken was boiled because it was served from a large pot of water.I donâ€™t even think the sauce was the sauce that was demonstrated in the pan. We wish that we had had more hands-on experience with each food item and we really wish that we were given recipes. The chef and his assistant were well prepared but I think they could have benefited from more help.

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!!!!

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 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!

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.

I canâ€™t say enough about my Cozymeal experience with Chef Antonio. I bought a pasta cooking class for my boyfriends parents and the two of us as a birthday gift. We didnâ€™t know what to expect as weâ€™ve never done a cooking class or made pasta from scratch beforeâ€¦ What an awesome and fun experience! Chef Antonio was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He educated us on the roots and history of the pasta we were making - and everything we learned can now be translated into making this on our own in our own homes! I highly recommend this as a memorable gift for any occasion, a fun date night, or if youâ€™re just looking to learn - a unique and intimate learning experience. Thank you Chef Antonio!

Chef Shailini is spectacular. She personalized the evening as we are vegetarian, kept it relaxing, educational, engaging and accommodating. She walked through each step, had us chopping, prepping, and participating in the experience. She also shared tips with us on what to do and where to get spices for our own kitchen. We will be back for another class with her in the near future!

Chef Melissa provided us a thoughtful, generous, and delicious event. We were welcomed into a lovely setting featuring beautiful ikebana floral arrangements created by her. Chef Melissa shared some of her expertise through guided instruction and interesting explanations, with plenty of laughter along the way. Also a sommelier, she told us about sake as we enjoyed sipping what we had brought. The food was amazing - lovely presentation, delicious. One of the treats of the evening was picking fresh herbs, greens and flowers from Chef Melissa's hydroponic stand and incorporating them into the designs and flavors of the dishes we created together. We had a wonderful time together guided by her expert-fully presented activities. Ultimately, we experienced Japanese comfort food in its glorious, vegetarian wholesomeness ? Our tastebuds are still dancing and will be jazzed up for time to come. Our imagination is fueled with enthusiasm to try our own interpretations of what chef Melissa taught us.
