Wow! What a great experience! Chef Kymberly was an excellent teacher. She took her time and explained everything to my partner and me. It was one of the best experiences we have had. We both enjoyed the food. We are already planning our next cooking class with Chef Kymberly. She is the best.

Chef Kymberly was a fantastic and fun engagement for a surprise dinner at home. She was prompt, knowledgeable, and excellent at making every part of the experience special. She answered all of our curious questions and came well-prepared for our time. And the food was perfect! Tasty, new, and exciting with every plating, we could not believe this food came out of our own kitchen. I can not speak highly enough of Chef Kymberly, as we would suggest her for this experience and any corporate function or engagement you have in mind. This made us believe in Cozymeal, and we can't wait to explore with her again soon.

Chef Kym provided us with an excellent experience. Extremely professional and personable, she also uses her own homemade spices for the dishes which made a huge difference.

Food was delicious. A fantastic blend of sweet and savory with a wonderful kick to each dish. Kymberly was very easy to talk to and a whiz in the kitchen. One point for improvement would have been a discussion about the African culture as it relates to the food, and possibly a more hands-on experience.

Chef Kim brought great energy and fantastic food into our home! I booked this as a birthday present to my mother & it was one of the best presents I have gotten her. Chef Kim is very knowledgeable and fun to be around. I have been thinking about the potato appetizer we made for weeks.

Chef Kymberly was the perfect choice for my wife's surprise 30th birthday! She led all 18 of us in a dynamic 4-course cuisine of Asian flavors. She was fun, engaging, a great instructor, and she was overall great. It was clear that she has a passion for cooking and also that she is very knowledgeable and experienced. We definitely recommend her and will book again.

Chef Kymberly was phenomenal. She is incredibly knowledgeable about her craft and did a thorough job explaining the cooking process. We had such a great time having Kymberly over for valentines day that we invited her to come back 4 days later to celebrate a friends birthday with us. All of the dishes she prepared were delicious and the menus was thoughtfully crafted.

Chef Kym came with the fire. She was very professional, prepared, personable, and knowledgeable. I love the intentionality and thought put into the entire meal. Every ingredient had a purpose. She’s definitely living her purpose because the energy in my house after was even more positive and lifted. I’m definitely going to ask for her service again.

Chef Kymberly prepared an absolutely delicious meal that was (for me) a totally new culinary experience! In addition, she was extremely friendly and was happy to answer our many questions about cajun cooking. I would happily recommend Chef Kym as well as this particular menu, especially for people who are looking for something that would otherwise be hard to find in the Bay Area.

I had a wonderful time with Chef Kymberly! She was warm, funny and personable. Her Southern/Caribbean style of cooking introduced me to the miracle of brown butter! WOW! She showed me how to make grits that was rich, creamy and amazingly delicious. Truly, the BEST grits I've ever had in my life! To top it off, was some cajun spiced shrimp that I couldn't stop eating!
