Chef Sawsan is an experienced long time professional Chef. She is an excellent teacher and very personable. My wife and I highly recommend taking any kind of cooking class from her as she is experienced in all kinds of cooking styles.

We learned so much from Chef Sawsan and had a great time making pita and naan and accompanying accoutrements. Her pita oven is so much fun! And her naan recipe is the best naan I've ever had. We even used the same dough to make an incredibly delicious caramelized onion and pear flatbread. I'll definitely be making these recipes at home!

Chef Sawsan is personable, knowledgeable and great at her trade. She took the time to explain the recipes and methods for our group and was patient as we embarked on making the recipes on our own. Highly recommend her!

Chef Sawsan is amazing! She truly loves her craft and it shows -- she shared some of her deep knowledge of technique with us and plenty of food science to match! We learned a ton and the lesson completely demystified phyllo for me. Will definitely try this at home! Thank you so much.

Chef Sawsan was great, we didn't just go through the recipes, she explain a lot of things about cooking fundamentals, why some things react the way they do, how to cook them better, she also gave us a lot of alternatives for the recipes we made, what to do the leftovers from cooking them. The food was al delicious.

Chef Sawsan taught us to make three delicious pastas! The class was very educational, fun, and informative. We got to bring home many leftovers which will make dinner this week spectacular. Chef Sawsan is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking!! We highly recommend anyone else take a class with her, you will leave feeling very full and inspired.

This cooking class with Chef Sawsan was our New Years gift to each other. My husband and I toyed with the idea of learning how to make pasta since the pandemic started. We watched endless How To videos on line and even purchased a couple of accessories, but could not get ourselves over the feeling that it is too complicated. Chef Sawsan helped us to 'cross that road'. Evening spent at Chef Sawsan's was absolutely magic! Chef Sawsan explained us the technique and science behind making pasta. She patiently guided us through the process. The meal came out outstanding! We cooked. We chatted. We laughed. And we left Chef Sawsan's with longing for more! THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHEF SAWSAN for sharing your love to food and your knowledge of cooking with us!

My girlfriend and I had a private vegan cooking lesson with Chef Sawsan and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She taught us how to make vegan paella which was absolutely delicious and surprisingly easy to follow. She provided a comfortable atmosphere and made us feel right at home in her kitchen. She was also happy to answer the hundred questions my girlfriend had about vegan cooking and taught her useful tricks in the kitchen that she will probably use forever. We would definitely take a class with her again and we recommend it for anyone interested in learning about vegan cooking or eating delicious vegan food.

For our 4 year wedding anniversary my wife and I wanted to do something out of the box that we have never done before. After a little research we came across Chef Sawsan's "Homemade Pasta Trio" cooking class. We are so very happy that we chose this for our anniversary evening! First off, Chef Sawsan's kitchen in a cute colonial bed and breakfast that is something out of the Hallmark channel. From the moment we booked the cooking experience, Chef Sawsan was in touch with us and she was the nicest, most accommodating individual and really made us feel comfortable. Upon arrival, we were greeted, we checked into our room where we could relax and get ready to see the town. When it came time for the cooking experience, she lead us into her kitchen where the awesome cooking class experience began. Chef Sawsan is extremely informative and on top of teaching and helping us make our own fettuccini, gnocchi and bow ties; she taught us a ton regarding pasta making and pasta in general. We never realized how easy and fun it was to make until this class. The hands on portion of the cooking class was super fun and my wife and I are so pleased and thankful for Chef Sawsan and her cooking class. I would recommend her cooking classes to anyone and I would also recommend planning to stay overnight in her bed and breakfast as well (like we did which is separate from Cozymeal) as it really brought the whole experience together. Plus, the breakfast in the morning was delicious. We had fresh pressed coffee, the freshest vegetable omelet and toast along with her very own homemade apple jam (SO GOOD). Rockport is such a beautiful little town to visit as well. If you choose to book with her, you won't be disappointed!

When we arrived at Chef Sawsan’s, we immediately felt at home. She was so warm and down to earth. We had such an incredible time learning from her and eating her delicious food. We not only took home our leftovers, but also a wealth of knowledge about the meal and techniques that we weren’t already aware of. This experience was a joy from start to finish - we are already planning our next visit with her!

Chef Sawsan was great. Her inn was warm and inviting, it felt like cooking on my own kitchen. Her instructions were easy to pick up on and she also educated us about the science behind the cooking. I even made one of the sauces the next night and impressed my whole family!

Chef Sawsan was incredible with the way she welcomed us into her kitchen and brought us through a delicious evening of Italian cooking. She taught us the methods and techniques that go into the preparation. Most importantly, she was able to couple the deliciousness of the food with the technique of preparation and the mood of the evening, making it an experience we will always remember and can easily transport ourselves back when we prepare the meal on our own.

We went to Rockport to celebrate my mom's birthday with a cooking lesson with Chef Sawsan, and had an absolutely amazing time! Chef Sawsan is a great teacher and makes incredible food look easy! We had a great time chatting with her and felt so welcomed in her home - her warmth and energy is wonderful :) It was so much more than a cooking class! Cannot recommend this experience highly enough, we would love to come back :)
