The chef was warm and personable, she made the flavors approachable, and she made sure to check in so she wasn't moving too quickly. I am also a collard green convert, I have never in my life liked them, but I went back for 3rds of her recipe. I'm definitely making that again. Even my kids asked for more.

Jane
04 Apr 2021
We loved the meals but were frustrated by a few technical issues.
1) we signed up to use 2 devices but there was a terrible echo. We tried muting both devices but eventually we had to turn one completely off. So we paid double.
2) the instructions sent ahead of time were not the same as the instructions in the class in several instances - the pork marinade, the chorizo filling for papas, and even the papas themselves. Flour in the papas? Cotija in the chorizo? How big a pork tenderloin to use?
3) I strongly believe that the chef should state what temperature the pork should be cooked to - not just “how gorgeous the caramelization looks†- basic food safety.
The food was great at the end, but the inconsistencies between instructions was frustrating.

I took a Pappardelle Pasta From Scratch online cooking class with Chef Angela-Michelle and loved it. Not only did she make the experience fun, but she was a great teacher going step by step with the instructions. Also, she took the time to check in and make sure everybody was on the same page. I feel confident that I can make this recipe again because the meal was delicious. I would recommend this class to anyone looking to make a pasta dish.

Our entire family had such a great cooking experience with Chef Angela-Michelle on Zoom. I was a little worried to have a class over the internet, but Chef Angela-Michelle made it seamless and very enjoyable. She is an excellent Chef and teacher. She even helped us to make some changes to the original recipe to suit individual tastes and preferences. The food we cooked - Pappardelle Pasta was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend Pappardelle Pasta From Scratch with Chef Angela-Michelle.

I loved the class and loved the food. My only suggestion to future participants who work with batter - do not tip your bowl to show the chef!! I did and poured batter on my relatively new laptop!! Crisis averted with Q-tips and toothpicks - phew!!
The Ethipian food was extremely tasty - just different enough to be interesting. I would make the recipes again!

Julie

I took Chef Angela's Vegan African Feast class and it was wonderful! She was friendly, fun, and easy to follow. She communicated in advance of the class so we knew exactly what to buy, and even provided modifications for me (being gluten-free). The dishes were delicious and really flavorful. I'd recommend this class to anyone - but especially great for those with dietary considerations. So much fun, thank you Chef Angela!

Outstanding job. Chef Angela had a great attitude and was both encouraging and engaging. The pace of the class was good, she built in checkpoints and wanted to see everyone's work at different phases. We learned a lot and saw some new ways to do things. My family really enjoyed it. One small critique... one of the instructions called for a can of tomato paste. You should specify a can size... we used the wrong can size. Not that it's bad - we have plenty of leftover sauce. :-)

This was my second Cozymeal online class, using a gift card I received for Christmas. I enjoyed this class as much as the first. The menu of drinks (healthy mocktails) was so unique, with interesting ingredients, some of which I'd never used before and enjoyed learning more about. Chef Angela-Michelle was fun and informative, and kept our small group engaged in the tea-brewing / drink-making process. All of our four mocktails were delicious. And easy to make - I'll be trying all four drink recipes again on my own.

The food was great and chef was super personable and helpful. The prep instructions didn't line up with the recipes though - during the session she spent time showing us how to slice carrots for the sushi but the recipe called for peppers. In an early communication there was also a recipe for Spring Rolls so I spent time and money prepping for those and we didn't make them.
LeeAnna

Chef Angela-Michelle was an INCREDIBLE host! The Spanish Paella class with kit was phenomenal for our group of 38. We were able to ship each participant the kit to their household which made planning this corporate holiday event a breeze! Chef was high energy throughout the class, engaged with our group, knowledgeable about paella, sharing her experience with us. 10/10 highly recommend!
Lizzie Ruetschle
06 Dec 2024
The chef was amazing! She was so much fun. I wish there had been a note turn turn the temperature down for the pies after about the first 15 mins, because we all over baked the pie by leaving it at 425.

My husband and I did this for our anniversary, and we really enjoyed it. The food had simple ingredients and tasted absolutely amazing! I enthusiastically recommend Chef Angela-Michelle and her classes to anyone and everyone!

What a great class! Angela was great at explaining and asking us questions, keeping us all included in the class. I was a little concerned about the recipes when I signed up for this class because I’m just exploring a Vegan diet and let me tell you this is one of the BEST meals I’ve ever made!!! Angela’s recipes were flavorful, easy and delicious and we’ll be making them again! Thank you for this wonderful class ??

Chef Angela-Michelle gave us a wonderful experience. Not only is she a great communicator and teacher, but she is also a warm and delightful person. When one of our ingredients turned out to be slightly different than what was needed, she adeptly guided us in how to make it work for the dish. Her enthusiasm for and knowledge of the art of food preparation has elevated and inspired our own cooking. We highly recommend her!

Really enjoyed the energy Chef Angela-Michelle brought to our class! We made some really great-tasting items and had a good time. My only bit of feedback would be that making three food items and a beverage might be one too many for the time and we felt a bit rushed. Perhaps one food item should be removed from the menu to keep a nice flow for 1.5 hours?

My co-workers and I took Chef Angela-Michelle's African Vegan Feast cooking class in celebration of Black History Month and had so much fun! We talked flavors, aromas, textures, and more. She's a great instructor with a very warm presence. Prep your vegetables and spices before class is my only tip so you're not scrambling like I was in the beginning of class. I was also taking the class with my 3 year old who was interested in "helping as well" and that added to the fun. She made it easy to engage during the class by giving us helpful hints, background information on the spices and foods we were cooking with, and how they help your body. I loved it. 100% going to take another one of her classes again with co-workers or with family. Thank you Chef for hosting us and we'll definitely do it again!

Chef Angela is wonderful! Our Southern Brunch & Bellini class was so much fun! It was the perfect “Galantine's Day†celebration. What a great way to taste new foods you may not have tried before and learn to cook foods in a new way - all from the comfort of your own home. Chef Angela was patient as we did not prep our food before the class; which next time we will definitely make sure to do. We learned a lot and looking forward to our next class.

Thanks for forcing me out of my comfort zone and providing a meal that sticks to the ribs, I am having more and more food sensitivities so this class was an excellent way to get the technique going. The recipe made really good leftovers too.

The only limitation on my rating is the lack of a second overhead camera. Without this, closer looks at the food were limited by the need to bring the pan to the camera and tilt it. Angela-Michelle is an excellent host and teacher.

What a delightful class this was. The end results were delicious, and Chef Angela-Michelle was the perfect blend of knowledge-meets-warmth (which is great since I'm not always the most confident of home cooks). Also, she paced things so well! She somehow kept us moving along without it feeling rushed. She obviously is an experienced chef, but also runs a great virtual classroom. I'll be making these recipes again.

She made us feel like we were not only chefs, but friends! She is funny, professional, relative, and extremely supportive. We're definitely looking forward to taking more of her classes and following her social media @culinarykisses.

I had a great experience with Chef Angela -Michelle in our Cuban cuisine cooking class! The chef had a well planned meal consisting of tostones, sofritos and a deliciously seasoned pork steak. At first it seemed like a lot to prep and cook within an hour, but Chef Angela-Michelle pulled it off with ease and good sense of humor. Instructions were easy to follow and the cooking pace was perfect! I definitely could not have cooked the meal(s) to perfection without the chef's guidance.
Julie
26 May 2021
Angela-Michelle (I think she went by Michelle) was fantastic. Her pace was perfect, she checked in many times to see how we were doing or had any questions.

I would take another class from her again.

We've been using cooking classes as a fun way to pass the time while stuck at home. I have NEVER been to a class as well organized, fun, and delicious as this one! The chef has everything together to make it easy to follow the recipe, and has several cameras set up so that you don't miss a thing. There's no fumbling around with zoom or who is on mute - she has it down to a science. While things are cooking she facilitates fun conversation with the group in a way that never seems forced.
If I could give this class ten stars I would. I'll definitely be looking for more classes with her to keep it up!
Erin

I booked this class for my family as a Christmas gift and everyone really enjoyed the whole experience. Chef Angela-Michelle was very patient and clear in her directions. She had a great camera set up on her work space so it made it really easy to follow her directions and see what she was doing. We had a lot of fun and look forward to booking another class!

Great class, really great food! Other than the recipes, I didn't get the "prep" email that told me what to do ahead of time, so I was playing a bit of catch-up during the class, but it all worked out.

Chef Angela-Michele is sooooo good!! She's very talented, charismatic, patient, and knew how to engage with all of us and build camaraderie. She stayed with me when I messed up my pasta the first time and guided me patiently until I got it right. It was such a fun evening full of laughter, I learned something new, and I would take another one of her classes in a heartbeat!

Chef Angela-Michelle is an expert at rolling with the punches and keeping things FUN! We had an incredible time with her. Our group was mixed on experience level, some using wine bottles as rolling pins and others very experienced home cooks. The class was fun for all levels and everyone ended up with incredible results. She takes the time to personally assess each person's progress and make specific recommendations. We loved it so much we're going to give another class with her as a holiday gift to our family!

My two boys took Chef Angela's Pappardelle from Scratch class (it is the second class they taken from her). I watched from the background and they were able to do all of the work themselves (I helped with the prep work) and loved every minute. Her teaching style is upbeat, encouraging, and friendly, and both of my boys really enjoyed learning from her and would love to take more classes. And, the recipes were each, and we would make them again - the end result was fabulous. I highly recommend Chef Angela and her classes.

I really enjoyed the Intro to Vegan Comfort Cooking class! While we eat a plant-based diet, we are not vegan and I admit to being a bit skeptical about the vegan pesto. It was very good - my husband liked it better than traditional pesto! And there was so much depth of flavor in the ratatouille. Chef Angela's easy and enthusiastic manner made the preparation fun. I think this class would be suitable even for novice cooks.

I enjoyed our experience greatly. I enjoyed learning new recipes and I especially enjoyed eating our cauliflower creations. They were delicious and surprisingly hearty!
My only criticism is from the Eventbrite side. Our tickets did NOT provide an address or phone number for the location. The only thing I recieved were latitude and longitude coordinates. Given that the event was in a large apartment complex, those directions were inadequate. I eventually thought to Google "Cozy Meals" and found the general 800 number to call and get Chef Angela's phone number. We finally made it but we ended up late and frustrated to the event!
Luckily Chef Angela's energy and friendly personality were enough to calm my nerves after such a rough start.

Chef Angela's African Feast recipes are nothing short of amazing. My husband loves the Ethiopian Chicken in Red Sauce, while I cannot get enough of the Ye'abesha Gomen, Lentils, and Injera. Chef Angela's recipes are thoroughly researched and the food is the result of it because everything is SO YUMMY. We can't wait to get the full cookbook for more deliciousness.

I was late to the class ( traffic /drive from job to pay for the class) with my husband and two daughters. I did know that this was just an 1 hour class. Angela turned off my zoom mike when my husband and I started discussing how to catch up with with the bread with no input from our chef. We felt rushed to catch up. During a lull, Angela talked about her garden, making zucchini bread and her travel to Spain. Still don’t know what we were supposed to do with the parsley that the recipe called for. Angela ended our 1 hour class 4 minutes early. Sorry just feeling a little disappointed and a bother. I did learn to parboil potatoes and fry and they were very good.
Kimberly

The experience began with Chef Angela directing us all to mute ourselves as any background noise would be distracting(leaving no room for interaction). The environment then turned hostile when one of the participants was struggling with a step and she brushed them off, telling the person "you are going to have to keep up, we are going to be moving quickly". The tipping point for me was when asking each of us to show her our pasta dough, 2 other participants commented about the consistency of their dough. To which she responded that she "doesn't need us to tell her what we think the dough needs, she just needs us to show her the dough in the camera and she will tell us what it needs".
I was hoping for a respectful environment, that welcomed interaction and provided tips and tricks that I could use in the kitchen. What I experienced was Chef Angela reading us the recipe verbatim, while we scrambled to keep up.
If I had known this would be the exprience, I would have much rather just read a recipe to myself, skipped all of the condescending commentary, and gotten to interact with my teammates. I will be trying Cozymeal again, but not with Chef Angela-Michelle.
Linda

The food was very tasty! However, the experience was very stressful.
The chef was unprepared in that she did not have a copy of the Cozymeal instructions in front of her. She seemed surprised by some of the quantities and instructions that we were provided. For example, the liquid quantities for Polenta were double what she actually wanted us to use. It was confusing. When asked about other quantities, she did not know and would have to pause and go to look it up, reminding us that we should have had it premeasured.
I organized this class as a fun activity for family members in four locations. One family member had difficulty signing in, causing a 1-2 minute delay. Also, the instructions did not say to have our ovens preheated to 400 degrees before class. Since putting the bread into the oven was the very first step, we felt behind and rushed. Throughout the class we were repeatedly reminded of the slow start and that we were running late. All of us felt uncomfortable, and some of us even felt shamed, with these reminders. I don't think Chef realized that this was a 75 minutes class, that she ended 10 minutes early. The rushing was unnecessary.
The food was wonderful and the chef's tone was pleasant, but I am very sorry that I booked this event for my family.

Chef was knowledgeable and entertaining. I'd take another class with her. Food was good, and I'll make it again. But, I was unhappy with receiving shopping list less than 48 hrs before class - hard for folks who have to shop on weekends. Also, recipes were transcribed wrong, with steps out of order or conflicting information (2" deep oil? NO.) And, you could format them to take less paper when printed.
Stephanie
28 Jul 2023
The chef did her best with the time limitation but there was a lot to do in a small amount of time. Food tastes delicious. Also communication from Cozumel about prep work was not great. Cozumel should tell you to check your bookings for direct messages from the chef as we did not receive an email about the prep work which made it difficult to keep up with the class

The zoom log on did not work at first - stressful getting on … took about 20-30 min .
The chef was a little disorganized so it was hard to follow and did not follow directions exactly ( better to be told that in beginning … did have veggies chopped ahead of time but felt very rushed …
The egg rolls delicious but suggest another dish besides omelet dish -

Angela had a great attitude and was well-trained in her recipe. However, she moved too fast and did not guide the group through individual progress when falling behind. Maybe slow down next time! :)
Sara
13 Dec 2021
Did not love it. In theory it was great for a team building event, however it did not meet my expectations. There was some technical difficulties for over half of our group, so we joined in about 10 minutes late. The class had already started and it was almost impossible to catch up. Trying to rush through everything made me miss steps along the way for each part of meal. Since I am already a decent cook I was able to go off recipe and make a really good sauce and garlic bread, however the pasta was a fail. Luckily I had boxed pasta so it ended up being a great meal! Besides that, I felt like it was a huge sales pitch for her tv show the whole time. I heard about this chocolate shop in Barcelona more times than I could count. It was really hard to engage with my team over the rush and constant sales pitch. Maybe good for someone that really wants to learn to make pasta, but not great for groups that just want to have fun learning to cook a meal together .
