Chef Susie was great! We made Pad Thai, spring rolls, and mango sticky rice. She was professional and personable. Her space was clean and the set up was perfect. I definitely recommend a cooking class with her.

What a wonderful evening! Susie's space is warm and professional, much like her. She takes the time to not only show you how to prepare your ingredients, but understand what you are doing and why. We even learned helpful knife skills and other culinary tricks of the trade. Highly recommend

Chef Susie, thank you for the fantastic cooking class! Your professionalism and obvious love of cooking shine through. Your positive energy and dedication to teaching us made the experience truly enjoyable. I learned so much and can't wait to try these new recipes at home.

My first time using CozyMeal and also attending a cooking class, I can't think of a better starting experience! - Chef Susie has an incredible set up & everything was laid out when I arrived. I'm a newer cook but Chef Susie was super patient with me while I took notes & learned the ropes. I attended the pad thai class & it was great (the mando sticky rice being my personal fav) - would definitely recommend for anyone looking to learn! Even got to keep my leftovers and am enjoying them today.

Chef Susie is passionate and knowledgeable. This was our second class and each was well worth it. We enjoy learning skills (creaming garlic, balancing/enhancing flavors and optimal temp management) with good conversation and food to go along side it. Looking forward to the third class!

Chef Susie was very knowledgeable and a great teacher! We really liked her explaining the how/why of each step of the process. The best part for us was how she explained, and allowed us to taste, how each ingredient impacted/changed the flavor. This was a great experience and would highly recommend!

Susie was a lovely host and a great teacher for our class. She gave us an introduction to each meal as well as a brief cultural history. Not only did we learn how to make the 3 different meals, but she also taught us some neat cooking techniques and tricks that can be used with other dishes. This was a great first Cozymeal experience and I look forward to trying more!

Chef Suz has put a lot of effort into making her class an excellent experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared: she was great about answering every question we could have thought of, and as a result we learned all sorts of things about (for example) salt, oil, and water that we can apply to pretty much anything else we want to cook. We also appreciated how Suz was thorough about showing us ways to customize dishes not just to our dietary restrictions, but to our palates. And the food at the end was quite tasty. :) That's a ton of value in a single evening!

Chef Susie's "AUTHENTIC TASTE OF THAILAND" class was amazing. This was a fun experience that took us out of our weekly routine. Susie's approach to all the dishes was understandable and she made the lessons relatable to our level of cooking experience. In addition to the delicious food, we got the opportunity to learn proper cooking techniques, such as how to properly cut vegetables or hold a knife. We loved learning how to evaluate all ingredients that go into a dish and how to best personalize the recipes. A wonderful experience from start to finish and would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in trying out a cooking class.

We enjoyed the cooking class with Chef Susie very much. The food was delicious and we learned new cooking skills from her. She explained the science of cooking which was interesting and helpful. Chef Susie is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. The location is very easy to find and her set up is great for a small group. We can only recommend her class for anybody who wants to have fun, learn some new cooking skills and eat delicious Thai food!

My Husband and I had the BEST time learning, tasting, and enjoying delicious food with Chef Susie. Not only did we have so much fun, we can't get over how much we learned and will now apply to our cooking moving forward. We can't wait to go back and keep trying our hand at more techniques! Thank you Chef - your home was beautiful and we cannot wait to return.

Chef Susie was excellent. Taught us so much about our dish but also tied every step of the process to larger ideals of cooking and preparation. Had so much fun and learned more than we could’ve ever imagined. Fantastic evening!

Amazing class, wonderful information, fun time! However...
However, extremely upset that I paid 160$+ for this class and since we forgot to bring our own containers (which was ONLY mentioned in a tiny PM that was almost impossible to find online- NOT in the outline of the class or via a text reminder), did not get to take any home. With this price of class, we should have been given a container (she even had one she used for an onion AND I offered to come back with my own containers and she said the food was gone- this made me think she had the "I gave my last few out the other day" rehearsed so she could keep the food- Seriously, it costs like 5$ for a bulk pack of 100+, she really shouldn't "run out"). Honestly, would have been a 4 star other than this, but I’m food motivated and this feels extremely upsetting with how much I paid. I even left a 20$ tip!!

Chef Susie was wonderful and our meal was phenomenal! My fiance and I took her Korean Classics class and had a great time! Her cooking space is unique and professional, while still feeling like a normal home kitchen, which makes the recipes feel attainable. Chef Susie is so knowledgeable and broke down the reason for each step of the process. I highly recommend taking one of her classes.

Chef Susie provided a wonderful experience which was fun and educational. She was extremely detail oriented and made sure everyone's questions were answered in addition to providing extensive explanations of the nutrition and science behind the food we were making. We came away learning a lot, the most impactful of which was the basic knife skills. I definitely recommend this class.

This was such a great experience all around. Susie's place is so comfortable. She has created the perfect space for an intimate cooking class. The recipes she developed and shared were easy to follow and used fresh, good ingredients. It was all very delicious. We learned a good bit about cooking and the processes behind the different elements of what we were making. We will definitely be going back to learn more!

Chef Susie’s cooking class was beyond our expectations. From her wealth of knowledge of cooking techniques, to preparing the food and the whole atmosphere of where the class was held was amazing.

What a wonderful evening in Susie’s beautiful home and delicious meal following class under the stars. Susie is an experienced pro ! My first such class. She really teaches. We started with basic knife handling… very helpful. Then a simple stir fry sauce from scratch. Learning to prep dumplings with many simple folding techniques was fun. Then Susie cooked … talking us through oils.. temps…. par cooking … spicing. And best of all how to cook the so delicious pot stickers so they are crunchy brown on bottom and chewy delicious on top. Thank you Susie. Lovely to get acquainted.

Class: Modern Asian Comfort Food
So much to love about Chef Susie's class! My husband and I were the seniors in the class and have been cooking for many, many years. Both of us love Asian cuisine and decided to branch out from our cooking comfort zone to a cuisine we both love. Chef presented the dishes in the time order of preparation so demonstrate how the menu could be handled in a short time for those of us who have 30-45 minutes to prepare a meal. As she prepared the stir-fry, she sprinkled the science of why the recipe was prepared as it was and how not to overcook the chicken, for example. However, the star of the dishes, and the one that most of us probably needed the most guidance with was dumplings. From sourcing the wraps to preparing the stuffing (in advance) to creating a basic dumpling fold to more intricate, decorative folds, to cooking, and--best of all--eating the finished product--Chef Susie helped me to conquer my fear of creating Asian dumplings. A wonderful experience over all! Enjoy!

My girlfriend and I had such a fun experience. We learned multiple knife skills, how to taste the different ingredients you use, and how to personalize the recipies. My favorite part was creating the dessert, where we got to chose ingredients along the way to our liking.

Chef Susie was amazing! She has incredible knowledge and experience about how ingredients come together to make a delicious meal. She showed us every step of how to make an ancho chili salsa and gave taste tests along the way to show how each ingredient boosts the flavor. We made tortillas from scratch and fresh guacamole that made for great street tacos. Highly recommend. it is a great experience to learn a lot about food and enjoy a meal together.

We had a great experience with Susie. Her setup is terrific and the whole event was very hands-on. She taught not just on cooking the food but knife-handling skills, cookware, and many other topics. The small format (there were only 4 of us) worked really well. I attended with my teenage daughter and we both had a great time, learned a lot, and had some great food at the end of the evening.

A cooking class for two as a Valentine’s Day present couldn’t have been more perfect . The class was absolutely wonderful. We arrived with drinks, and Chef Susie was quick to get us glasses, and bottle openers. My favorite things about the class were the food, the knife skills, and the food chemistry fun facts! We made the pasilla sauce which was mind blowing, braised chicken street tacos, chocolate mousse, homemade tortillas and guacamole! Everything was so delicious! Chef Susie is very knowledgeable and truly loves teaching others how to cook. Our class went a little longer than we expected, but Chef Susie never made us feel rushed! This was such a fun date night! We’re already talking about taking another class with her.

Chef Susie was INCREDIBLE! My girlfriend and I went to a cooking class where we did Mexican Street Tacos and it was 11/10. The food was exquisite, but what made it so worthwhile was that Chef Susie is a remarkable teacher. I am a pretty novice and my girlfriend is a lot better, but we both learned a ton of things we will take away. If you are looking for a great time, to learn some stuff in the kitchen, and to eat a fantastic meal - look no further!

Chef Susie’s cooking class was simply the best. My boyfriend and I have been fortunate enough to attend a variety of cooking classes, and this was far and away our favorite. The class really couldn’t have been better.
The food we made (veggie fajitas tacos, guacamole, chocolate mouse!!!!) tasted better than anything we could’ve possibly expected.
Chef Susie organized the class in such a way that you end up prideful in how beautiful and delicious your meal is while also feeling like you are learning practical and useful skills to use at home. Chef Susie was personable, informative, and inspiring. The class was educational, fun, and relaxing! Finally, the food was so delicious that it was hard to believe we made it. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful. The pasilla sauce brought out the flavor of the tacos so well. The tacos made me want to keep eating forever, and the chocolate mousse was such a delightful dessert.
I will certainly be attending more classes in the future, and I couldn’t recommend Chef Susie more!!!

Chef Susie is the person to spend any special occasion with. I took my husband for a cooking class on his birthday and we both thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Chef Susie’s energy is incredible and you are going to leave with so much knowledge about how to cook the right way!! Her place is incredibly welcoming, but private! This is the class to book if you want to surprise your dearest ones or if you want to impress your team at work!!
