We had a great time with Alicia, the meal was very tasty. She is organized and clear in her advice and instructions. The "Classic Middle Eastern Spread" meal is accessible to people who are beginners in cooking or who are looking for a simple dish to make. We recommand cooking with her :)

Chef Alicia was great! It’s worth noting though that this is not exactly Chicken Shawarma. The meal is not fully the authentic middle eastern dish, it’s rather the chef’s spin on the dish. And it’s great!
Alicia herself was very helpful and adjusted to our cooking style/level wonderfully. Great chef!

Chef Alicia was incredible! She is extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from her, both general tips about how to mix flavours and specific advice for using wonton wrappers. Chef Alicia was extremely kind and a great teacher. And the food was delicious!! Each dish was a mouthwatering combination of flavours and textures. We can't wait to try the recipes again on our own!

My wife and I had a great experience with chef Alicia. She made sure to make us both feel comfortable while learning a new cooking style and have fun in the process. Chef Alica's skills are great not only as a chef but also as a teacher. We are really happy with the experience.

I booked a cooking class with Alicia for my one year anniversary with my girlfriend and it was an absolute 5-star experience! Alicia was knowledgeable and passionate about cooking, creating a fun and engaging environment. The class was hands-on and provided an opportunity to learn new cooking techniques and try new recipes. The meals we created were delicious and I was able to bring new cooking skills and recipes to my own kitchen. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to enhance their cooking skills and have a memorable experience with a loved one.

Our cooking class with Alicia was a TREAT! Besides the delicious food, Alicia was very attentive and responsive to our ability level and encouraged us to step outside our cooking comfort zone. We definitely did not end the night hungry. I wish we knew earlier that we could freeze portions before cooking them so that the quantity of each course was more balanced (PLENTY of yummy wonton soup compared to main and dessert portions), but other than that it was such a wonderful evening! We definitely plan to have another Cozymeal night in the future :)

Had a great time with Alicia at our dumpling night. We were a group of 4 adults at our home and Alicia looked after a great meal.
Communication was excellent and all went very smoothly. Alicia was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and, importantly for us, a great host / chef who really engaged in our evening. We all participated in the cooking over the three courses with some great guidance provided by Alicia.
Would recommend Alicia to others looking for a similar experience. Well worth it.

Sweet and Savory French Crêpes
with Chef Allie
There aren't enough words to describe how much Chef Alicia exceeded my expectations. The cooking class in my home was a Christmas gift for my nieces (ages 9 and 11) and it was just perfect for them. We choose the crepe meal and Alicia walked the girls through the basics of cooking and making the crepes. She was enthusiastic, engaging, and very patient in guiding them through the process (and answering nine million questions from the little one). They loved the experience and they loved Alicia. I highly recommend her.

Alicia was wonderful - warm, charming and interesting. The food was good, and the overall experience a ton of fun.
Cozymeal was incredibly difficult to deal with. It took more than a year to book our dinner, which was very disappointing.

Our cooking class experience with Alicia was excellent! She was full of energy and very fun to talk to. She explained all the ingredients well and catered to our tastes. The meal turned out to be delicious. We went a bit overtime but it didn't matter because we had so much fun chatting and vibing. Alicia happily cleaned all the dishes and left our kitchen better than it was before.
Would highly recommend it to others.

Holiday Cookie Decorating Throw Down
with Chef Allie
We liked the cookie decorating class. Chef Alicia was punctual, communicated well, and was fun and enthusiastic. We were really impressed by the hot chocolate. However, we were expecting a bit more in terms of cookie decorating. We would have liked if the Chef brought cookie cutters with her as our free hand cookie cutting skills were not great. We also wish Chef brought more colors of icing sugar. We had pink and white. Christmas colors would have been great as we had this event during December Holidays. We recommend this class, however, the price could be more economical. Thank you Chef, we enjoyed the experience.
