The chef Patrick was not the chef. The entire thing was very disorganized and unprofessional.There was not enough dough for everyone and the teacher did not know what she was doing. The croissants did not come out at all like croissants! False advertising!

Overall this was a disappointing class. The chef was good but I did not expect to have to share a Yule log with a partner. Also there seemed to be limited supplies. Not worth the price.

Chef Meghan was great - relaxed, energetic and knowledgeable . Wonderful group of folks at our table. The set up was roomy and everyone worked together on our ingredients, kneading dough, mixing etc. I will be back for other sessions for sure. Nice to shop afterwards with a discount as well.

I was not aware of how the class worked, but having 2 couples at each work station was certainly not what we expected. also, there was not enough info on the location. While we arrived at the mall 15 minutes early, it took us 25 minutes to navigate where to go. First I called Cozy meal, and after 5 minutes on hold, was given the number of . After 5 m9re minutes on hold, we were given directions on where they were located. So, being 10 minutes late, we missed how to make the gelato. The staff was very good, which is why I give 2 stars. All in all, My wife and I were fairly disappointed.

We did the pasta cooking class and there were pros and cons. The pros were it was relaxed enough to accommodate our big group straggling in after hitting a huge traffic jam on the pike, since there wasn't all that much to actually do, so starting late you could still catch up. The con is the other side of that coin; not having much to do; basically each table of 4 people was making one dish, so at each step one person could do it. (We all took turns, and during the 2.5 hour class I did 2 tasks myself). For the money, and compared with other cooking classes, I think usually you get to actually *do more* rather than just watch along. There was also a ten minute break to shop in the store and sample the coffee. This might have felt more natural if our dish had used something in particular the store sells. I get that this is probably an arrangement/perk that agrees to hold the classes there in exchange for getting people walking around and maybe shopping. Maybe it could even just be phrased as a 10 minute bathroom break if people need it, and feel free to stretch your legs and browse if you want? Our chef was someone different from Chef Josh- she seemed relatively green as far as instruction, but friendly and nice, which I appreciate. Sometimes just a smidge too friendly(?); most people came to the class in groups and liked talking with each other throughout the class since it's sort of a social activity, and when she would circulate she would stay and start get-to-know-you conversations which kind of impeded our catching up with each other. No regrets though- I wouldn't necessarily recommend this class to someone else, but I also wouldn't tell them to run the other way- it was fine.

Chef Claire very friendly. The disappointment was in how skimpy the ingredients were. 3oz pc of salmon for 4 to share in their sushi rolls. Mostly rice roll. Giant mounds of tempura cooked with all purpose flour vs rice flour to save on their food costs. Disappointing. Tempura ultimately discarded. The experience was ok but totally skimped out on ingredients.

Hello Check Josh- I am writing to request a refund for the class I took on Monday March 4 at 7:00 pm at the Natick Mall with Claire. I did careful research to find the class and ready many reviews. I picked yours because of the ambiance that clients raved about, and the cooking tips that you give. Claire was very efficient, but appeared in a rush to leave and made it feel that the entire experience was an inconvenience to her. Instead of being informative and engaging, she seemed eager to leave and annoyed by the concept of a one-off cooking class. She first started by saying that we should get started because it was a school night for her. Imagine a cooking class starting and you already feel that the instructor wants to go home. There were many comments along the way that were sarcastic towards the class. For example, she said she left the broccolini leaves on the stems because вЂњyou all need something to do". She also made comments that were judgemental towards past students such as " let me know if you have any dietary restrictions before we start cooking because sometimes people tell me they are allergic to (some ingredient I forget), when the name of the class has (that ingredient) in it" . Or "sometimes people will tell me they are gluten free but what can I do when we are making hand rolled pasta?" There were no tips except had to hold a knife. I felt I was following instructions like a child without any bigger context. At one point I did ask what the bigger picture and objective was of each step and she said I would see what it all comes together. I told her that is not how I learn. She then gave a very quick and hasty explanation of why we fry when we braise but she said it so fast that I retained nothing. When we asked what the parsley is for she said its there because this is supposedly an 'Italian' meal. The meal did taste good and it was efficient, but I was really paying for learning cooking, and I learned nothing, and the entire time felt I was inconveniencing Claire. I have no judgements on her character as a person, but I am extremely clear that the way she fulfilled the role as a cooking instructor last night was incredibly inappropriate and frustrating. Please let me know how I can receive my full reimbursement. I had bought two tickets, one for me, and one for my friend. It was her birthday. I am a teacher in Boston public schools and told my colleagues I was attending the class last night. They were excited about the notion and then shocked by what I experienced. I hope to rectify my report back to them by letting them know that you promptly and fully addressed my concerns. Many thanks, Aida asadr@gmail.com

Chef Claire was great, took the night in stride and did a great job explaining each step of the sushi making process. We got to do everything from cut the vegetables, to frying shrimp, to rolling. Great time!

I'm deeply disappointed by the anniversary gift I arranged for my girlfriendвЂ”a cooking class that didn't live up to its promise. Despite spending $190 on tickets, the experience fell short in several ways. We received a mere cooking demonstration from the chef and were tasked with menial chores like chopping vegetables and dumping pre-prepped ingredients, all while sharing our meal with strangers. The entire session felt like a blatant sales pitch for products, leaving us underwhelmed and disheartened. Even worse, the break in the middle seemed designed solely for shopping, rather than enhancing our culinary skills. Upon examining the recipe booklet left on the counter, it became evident that the ingredients cost a fraction of what we paid, indicating a significant upcharge. In hindsight, I'd advise others to skip this overpriced experience and opt for a cozy evening at home with Thai takeout and a cooking show on TV instead.

Chef Regina was engaging and fun. I learned how to make pasta from scratch and it wasn't as hard as I thought!!

Not chef Josh. Large class with no chance to actually do any of the cooking. We kneaded the dough and each chopped one vegetable, then had 6 people take turns rolling out their dough on a single pasta maker. Meanwhile, the "resident chefs" cooked all the sauce and pasta while we were encouraged to go "shop around the adjacent store." We did get to watch them make the dessert though, maybe it should be called a "watch someone else cook" class. Definitely not worth the $180 we spent (didn't even have any drinks for us), will look for a different place to take a class.

I almost feel bad leaving this review, because it should not reflect Chef Josh but the Cozymeal team. Terrible experience using this site from start to finish and wish I had not booked this experience. When booking this event for a Teambuiliding with my employees, I selected "Boston Proper", and was surprised after booking when the location was Natick, MA which is very much a suburb of Boston. I went ahead with the event anyway, and when I received the event information I was given the event location name of "Cooking Creations" which I passed along to my team with the directions. We assumed this was an independent company as these events are advertised to be with private chefs, and were very disappointed when we arrived at the Mall. We started looking for "Cooking Creations" which could not be found. Some of the members of my team did some Google searching to figure it out as I called the coordinator who booked our event, Lauren. She had no idea where to send me and transferred my call to Customer Service. Some of the folks from my team who were able to navigate their way there before the rest of us informed me the staff was not happy we were late and were quite rude to them about it. I can understand their frustration, but better directions were necessary from Cozymeal. We did not get to enjoy the class due to a work situation that required immediate assistance. However, it would not have been worth it at that point considering how late we were. False advertising and poor instructions made this a very uncomfortable experience.
