Booked the class Pastries for Fall with Chef Donna in Carlsbad

This was a great class. 6 students learned 3 different pastry bakes. So many unknown baking lessons. Mary, the chef, was wonderful. She made us feel so comfortable and welcome. I would definitely take another class from her.

Pete C.

Booked the class Vegetarian and Gluten Free Italian with Chef Kristin in Vista

Wow, Chef Kristin was really amazing, so I wanted to take the time to leave her a review. I donâ€™t normally review anyone online. Kristin was unique. She truly made us feel special from the moment we walked into her brilliant home. She really really lives, eats, and breathes this stuff. We had a great experience, and are grateful to Kristin for the way she treated us as guests, as well as the awesome cooking class we had. Best, Pete

Booked the class Master Pasta Making with Chef Donna in Carlsbad

A nice afternoon making pasta, good activity for a date or small group looking for something to do. Chef Dana was a good host who kept a nice energy level throughout. The food itself was pretty good, too, and it was nice that a lot of the stuff was prepped prior. All this said, it would have been nice to learn a bit more throughout the process so have more takeaways to apply in our own cooking. The other not so great thing was that 4 people had to share each dish as far as prepping/cooking it. We enjoyed working with the other couple, but it would've been nice to make our own dishes ourself instead of taking turns kneading dough for "4 turns" and then letting someone else jump in. Lastly, Chef Dana mentioned she would send the recipes, but we haven't received them yet, if someone could please share those. The ricotta filling for the tortellini was especially tasty.

Roberto F.

Booked the class Pie Baking Fun with Chef Donna in Carlsbad

The Pie baking experience didnâ€™t really live up to my, very beginner, pie making expectations. Chef Mike was a nice guy but he was very open about the fact that he was a savory chef not a pastry chef. He didnâ€™t have much to add to the process of baking other than to say he wasnâ€™t into measuring very much. This was evident in the prep for the class. We made one full size pie of peaches and blueberries. After getting things mixed, we pored the filling into the crust and it was about 1/3 the amount it should have been. Not a huge deal but it doesnâ€™t show any attention to basic prep. When doing the lattice on the pie the sous chef (who claimed to be a pastry chef) didnâ€™t know the process for weaving the lattice. She instructed us one way and was corrected by, Iâ€™m guessing, the manager of (the store where the class held. The kicker was that the ovens apparently werenâ€™t baking our pies as fast as they should have been. So, our pie came out almost baked by the end of the class. The chef instructed the sous chef to take it out of the pie tin and put it in a cake box, for us to take home and finish baking. Well this assumes we have a pie tin at home and also assumes that weâ€™ll be able to get a fully loaded pie, sitting in just the crust, off of a cardboard box and into a pie tin. Not easy for an experienced chef Iâ€™m sure, let alone a couple of novices. I would have guessed working ovens or better prep with timing would be a basic feature of a class like this. There was so much down time waiting for the pie to slowly bake that the chef started teaching us how to cut onions and mince garlic. Nothing wrong with that, just a lot of standing and waiting that seemingly shouldnâ€™t have happened. The one thing everyone on staff seemed prepared to do was push sign-ups for their other classes and products in the store (for which we were given a 10% off coupon). All in all, I was disappointed. This was supposed to be a nice gift for my wifeâ€™s birthday but it turned out to be a big let down. I would not recommend the Cozy Meal classes.
