Chef Elham

My first experience with Cozymeal was very disappointing. I took a friend for their birthday. It was very overpriced for what was actually offered ($250 for 2 people for 1 hour) The sushi tasted fine but the only thing we learned was how to roll and cut 2 sushi rolls. The first course was eliminated without mention and “class” that was suppose to be 2 hours was barely over 1 hour. There was no prep of food included and recipes were very limited.

I was not very happy with the experience for several reasons. The class mentioned that we would get to make a 4 course meal; however, we only made 3 as the dessert crepes were never made. Not only that weВ could only cook 1 item each.В  We were not able choose what we wanted to work on.В  It was first come first serve. The chef said there can only be 3 people assigned to make crepes and if you didn't speak fast enoughВ then you had to make something else. The crepes were already made ahead of time. The folks were working on just making the filling. One of my group members just worked on chopping shallots, adding thyme, and rolling the crepes. One of the people in my group was not interested at all in making a souffle,В so she was told to make a sauce for the dessert souffles. The chef took the sauce from her at some point and she was relegated to rolling crepes. Also when I would ask any questions to the teacher, most of the time she just told me to refer to my instructions. If I wanted to look at a piece of paper I would have stayed home. She mentioned also that cooking souffles is not that hard; however, the savory souffles that were made by the group were undercooked and under spiced.В  I have taken multiple cooking classes and in all of them I have been able to cook all the recipes that they agreed to teach us and recreate it at home. I cannot say after paying $95 that I would be able to do that. This class was a major disappointment and I will never book a class with this chef again. She either needs a better space so everyone can cook everything or she needs to only have a handful of students.В 

Chef Elham was wonderful! She was super-helpful and personal, and she really listened to all of us and make our experience a treat! Thank you!!
