Malissa M. Malissa M.

This was a fun gathering, especially as an outing for my husband and I that was surprisingly very close to our house. It was nice to converse with other participants where we all had varying levels of cooking experience. I appreciate Chef Elham's conversational instruction that wasn't heavily demonstrative. It was a great dinner and I look forward to trying one of the recipes at home.

In addition to showing us how to prepare delicious meals, Chef Elham took time to answer all of our questions & provided suggestions, tips & tricks. Thank you Chef!

Chef Elham was so wonderful to work with! We didn't know too much about cooking but she made sure we were comfortable and relaxed in here. She made the whole experience light and fun! I definitely would go back again!

Booked the class Adventures In Thai Cooking with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

Excellent recipes and excellent preparation: everything was ready for us, neatly assembled on trays for each recipe. Good instructions, lots of insights, and everybody had a great time. The resulting dinner was amazing. Thank you so much for making this a memorable experience!

We signed up for the Thai cooking class with Chef Elham and had an incredible time. We’ve taken Cozymeal classes before- this by far was our favorite. Apart from the food being absolutely delicious, what stood out were the conversations with Chef Elham. We also walked away from the class with more confidence in the kitchen as a bonus. Thanks chef Elham for a great night, can’t wait to recreate the recipes at home!

Fun and instructional. Chef Elham made us feel right at home. Making delicious Thai food seemed out of reach for me, but now I am confident I can do it in my own kitchen.
