Amazing experience! Chef Melissa was very funny, hospitable, knowledgeable, and made our class personalized and special! Would recommend to anybody looking for a fun new culinary experience!

This was one of the best experiences my boyfriend and I have had. While the food and hospitals was top notch the icing on the carrot cake was even better. My boyfriend cut his finger mid class and Chef Melissa was so attentive and gave him wonderful first aid including a little goody bag. Thank you so much for the amazing conversation, laughs and wonderful food. I would highly recommend this class and Chef Melissa.

We had a terrific time with Chef Melissa this evening! She is so personable and fun. The meal we prepared was delicious - Pan Asian cuisine. She was prepared and efficient, and very professional. She explained everything we were trying to accomplish and made the prep work easy. Highly recommend any of her classes; a great cultural experience!
We loved our cooking class with Chef Melissa! Her bright energy, passion for educating and story-telling, and delicious recipes made for a beautiful night. It was lovely experience- we would absolutely book with Chef Melissa again!

Chef Melissa is amazing! She creates unforgettable experiences full of care. The moment I stepped into her home I felt welcomed and excited to learn from such an experienced woman with great taste. She is not only a talented cook and a clear communicator, but also so much sweet and funny and fun. Her joy and attention to detail when preparing food is infectious.

Melissa was a great hostess. She was very attentive to my texts and Q's before the class. She contacted us a week before to let us know there was an opening, as we had booked another class several months out. Then she communicated her vaccination status and policies about vaccination which we were really confused about since it's 2026. My husband developed a cold and we were considering canceling 2 days before, but the cozy meals refund policy was 48 hours so we attended the class. There was one other couple. We learned how to make sushi rolls using sushi rice, fish, avocado, cucumber, caviar, and spices. Melissa prepared a gluten-free dairy-free dessert for us, and we played a spice game and had a gratitude session. It was an enjoyable couple's evening experience.

I gave this cooking class to my adult daughter and husband as their Christmas present this past year. They attended the class with Chef Melissa and they said that it was such a wonderful experience! Chef Melissa was so gracious and knowledgeable! She welcomed them warmly and got to know their experience level and also, what they wanted to learn from the class. After getting to know them a bit she started the lesson. The instruction was easy to follow and she made it fun. She had extremely fresh ingredients and taught them what types of herbs and seasonings would work in cooking their meal. She worked step by step explaining every detail. She had them participate in little contests like who could identify certain spices and she gave out fun little prizes. The meal was absolutely delicious and now they feel comfortable cooking recipes that were not usually in their comfort zone. I would highly recommend this cooking class to any level cook. It was absolutely worth every penny and we are already planning our next class. Thank you Chef Melissa!!!!

Anthony G.
Booked the class The Art of Handmade Dumplings with Chef Melissa in Framingham
Chef Melissa is very friendly and welcoming. Her class taught the very basics of dumpling and wonton folding. Positives: well-prepared. Delicious food. Clean environment. She provides recipes and instructions on whatever food you want from the menu. Opportunities for improvement: I would have liked a bit more details on the specific cooking procedures. How to fry, what oil is used, how long? Small tips on when dumplings are finished. Chef certainly answers those questions if you ask, but you really need to ask the questions you want to know if you want to know exactly how to make things from start to finish.

Booked the class The Art of Handmade Dumplings with Chef Melissa in Framingham
This was a great class, and well exceeded my expectations! Chef Melissa set us at ease but also challenged us. She started by introducing herself and getting to know us a bit, which made me feel less intimidated about what would happen next. Then she led us through a number of different styles of wonton and dumpling formation, explaining each one clearly and encouraging us as we practiced doing them. So fun! Chef Melissa is an expert in what she does, but she knows how to present information and technique accessibly. The class was well thought out and organized, with different activities to keep the multi-hour class consistently engaging. But Chef Melissa also brought a lot of heart and warmth to the class, making it a nice bonding experience. I wondered how cooking in her home kitchen would be, but the space was clean, ordered and welcoming. I’m already looking forward to taking more classes with Chef Melissa!

Chef Melissa is amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She was a great host and made our ladies night so much more than just a cooking class. Chef Melissa welcomed us into her home, which is spotless by the way. She shared her story and took the time to learn about each of us. When we moved over to the kitchen, she taught us so many dumpling folding techniques. We had a blast trying different shapes and laughed throughout the whole process. And the food was delicious!! The wonton soup was perfect and chef Melissa even shared some of her special ingredients to spice it up. We made pan fried and steam pot stickers that were out of this world. I was so proud of the meal she helped us prepare! If you are looking for a unique and special night out you need to take a class with chef Melissa - you won’t be disappointed. I know that we will absolutely be taking another class with her! Thank you chef!

This was an absolutely amazing experience! Chef Melissa is not only a phenomenal chef with an insane amount of experience but she is also wonderfully kind. Luckily for us, the other couple was a no show so we had a one on one lesson. She was so patient, encouraging and hilarious. Prior to the class she checked in and I have a ton of dietary restrictions. She was able to accommodate those and I'm so glad she did! I love that she grows her own herbs. She had us play some fun games and taught us a ton of useful skills. She also makes you feel at ease and her zest and positivity for life in general was contagious. We left incredibly full, with left overs and ear to ear grins. We will absolutely be back for other classes, buy classes with her as gifts and happily refer her to anyone we meet! Thank you for an amazing going away/birthday dinner for Bryan. We can't wait to learn more dishes with you in the future!

Melissa's sushi class was an absolute gem of an experience! From her warm and approachable demeanor to her invaluable guidance, she patiently shared her expertise and equipped us with the essential skills to confidently make sushi at home. Melissa's use of fresh herbs straight from her own garden. This personal touch not only added an extra layer of freshness to our creations but also showcased her dedication to providing a unique and enriching culinary experience. If you're seeking a remarkable introduction to the world of sushi-making, I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa's class.

Our experience with Chef Melissa is a joy we will forever treasure. She is funny, personable, and a great instructor. We appreciate her welcoming us into her space and providing us with an unparalleled cooking experience. Our time together with the other couple was filled with joy, fun, and a love for learning. I surprised my boyfriend with this class because he loves cooking and is a major foodie. This was such a wonderful gift to him and myself as well! It brought us closer together in a super fun way. The meal came out super delicious and there was plenty left over to take home. Chef Melissa is clearly well versed in her craft as well as a wide variety of other cuisines. She gave us insight in the meal we were preparing and inquired on what foods we liked to cook in our everyday lives to provide us with helpful hints how to edify our meals. We will certainly be booking with her again. Well worth the investment in self and my relationship! I encourage anyone with the slightest curiosity to move forward and take this class! It is a one of a kind experience for sure.

Melissa’s dumpling class exceeded our expectations! We had such a great time, the food was delicious, and Melissa is so sweet. The class was set up perfectly. We appreciated all the cooking tips, the fresh organic ingredients, and Melissa’s insight into the food and culture surrounding the food. Also, the class was BYOB and prior to the class Melissa went out of her way to give us some thoughtful recommendations. We went with her favorite Japanese beer which was so delicious I will continue to buy it. We left feeling like we could replicate our own dumplings at home and are excited to do so. She is a great chef, teacher, and person. And a plus - we got to take extra dumplings home which we devoured immediately! Thank you to Chef Melissa.

Fun night in! The host Melissa was welcoming and engaging and made the experience a lot of fun. We enjoyed a variety of flavors and variety of ways to make sushi.

Melissa welcomed us into her home and brought us through a really fun lighthearted culinary experience. It was my mothers 60th birthday and she really made every effort to make the evening the best celebration possible. We began with great knife skill lessons and got to test our knowledge on avocado, cucumber, mushrooms & fish. We learned where to purchase all the ingredients we weren't familiar with as well which was great. The tofu bags were so simple and delicious I will absolutely be making those on my own. We focused on hand rolls/sushi/maki variations the rest of the evening which really filled us up! We were stuffed before the class was even over. She texted us beforehand and suggested bringing to-go containers which was so smart! The ingredients were all so fresh and the top quality was so apparent. Melissa had everything laid out and prepared before out arrival and provided a PDF after the class explaining everything we had talked about and all the ingredients we went over. She had an in-house greenery grower and even packed me up a goodie bag of fresh clipped greens! It was truly a 5 star personal chef evening. I couldn't have asked for a better chef to make my mothers birthday a night we will never forget. Thank you!!

Chef Melissa provided us a thoughtful, generous, and delicious event. We were welcomed into a lovely setting featuring beautiful ikebana floral arrangements created by her. Chef Melissa shared some of her expertise through guided instruction and interesting explanations, with plenty of laughter along the way. Also a sommelier, she told us about sake as we enjoyed sipping what we had brought. The food was amazing - lovely presentation, delicious. One of the treats of the evening was picking fresh herbs, greens and flowers from Chef Melissa's hydroponic stand and incorporating them into the designs and flavors of the dishes we created together. We had a wonderful time together guided by her expert-fully presented activities. Ultimately, we experienced Japanese comfort food in its glorious, vegetarian wholesomeness ? Our tastebuds are still dancing and will be jazzed up for time to come. Our imagination is fueled with enthusiasm to try our own interpretations of what chef Melissa taught us.

She made the class fun with her open herb farm, preparation of all the ingredients, and was generously willing to improvising for any food restrictions. We are hoping to book another class soon; we truly felt like we connected with her and the other attendees!!

Melissa was fantastic. She has an impressive resume and is a great instructor. You can tell she is passionate about cooking and bringing people together to make memorable experiences. This was gift to my mother-in-law from her daughter and (2) daughter-in-laws. She adored the experience as did we. Melissa went that extra step and lit a candle, sang happy b-day, and even gave her a cool gift. The food exceeded my expectations and the best part is I now have the knowledge and skills to whip up those amazing dumplings and a pot of wonton soup.

This was my second time booking with cozy meal and Chef Melissa made it a great experience. Anyone can show you how to make the meal, but her energy, humor, and gratitude is what stood out. There were only four students, so she took the time to really teach us, help with any questions, and laugh with us. Everything was organized and prepared when we got there, and her apartment is beautiful. She showed us proper knife techniques, the differences between the ingredients, how fold the dumplings correctly, and served us wonton with her homeade broth that was made beforehand. She even gave us homeade stickers to take home :) Definitely recommend Chef Melissa!

I had Melissa cook for my family as a Christmas gift and we all had a blast! We wanted a French Theme so Melissa gave us a bunch of options including different dessert ideas. We ended up picking a classic French seafood bouillabaisse and sticky toffee pudding! Melissa was well prepared and asked us many questions to make sure we had everything we need in order to cook properly. If we didn't have something, she would bring the tools that we didn't have. She gave each of us an assignment and taught us the proper way of cutting ingredients, measuring, techniques, and history. It was all done with humor and fun! Melissa is very patient with high energy and passion. The end results was the best Bouillabaisse my family ever tasted and we all made with the help of Melissa! The sticky toffee pudding was fantastic too. My 11 year old nephew even helped put the frosting on top. I highly recommend Melissa for a fantastic time and learning experience!

Melissa is a dynamo of energy, charisma and great knowledge. She understands the food and beverage world in combination better than most people out there. Moreover, Melissa can communicate deep knowledge in a way that is relatable, insightful and engaging. Her election of recipes and beverage pairing can be unique and eye opening. i recommend Melissa as a teacher and speaker. She will amaze you

I hired Melissa for a private cooking session since I grew up in Asia and have always wanted to learn how to make authentic Asian comfort food after I moved to the US. Before the class, Melissa ensured that we would have all the equipments and ingredients, which made our class go very smoothly. During the class, Melissa was very patient to guide me through the whole process, shared about the history behind the dishes, and taught me some basic techniques. I learned so much from her class. Melissa is very tentative and extremely fun to cook with, and of course the meal (we made okonomiyaki the Japanese pancake and potstickers) was just delightful and delicious. I highly recommend her class.

Don’t hesitate to book an in home cooking class with Chef Melissa! You pick the menu to suit your guests. Melissa keeps the cooking fun and easy, teaching the how and why of measuring, mixing and baking. With three sons and my husband, we made Parmesan monkey bread and moist chocolate cupcakes with marscapone frosting. Delicious. Everyone got involved and had a great time. Planning a dumpling class for Spring.

My kids had the best time with Melissa during the dessert class. Melissa came to our home and was great with the kids. She was professional, friendly and patient and we love her hands on approach. They made mini apple pies and cupcakes. The kids had fun mixing, cutting the apples, rolling out the dough for the crust and decorating the cupcakes. We had Melissa come close to the holidays and she brought the cutest holiday sprinkles for the cupcakes. Everything was delicious and the kids can't wait for their next class with Melissa!

My husband and I had recently been talking about ramen, and how we would love to learn how to make it. I hired Melissa for a private in-home cooking lesson as his Christmas gift; we spent a few hours together learning about proper cooking techniques, made ramen noodles from scratch, and enjoyed a delicious meal together. For desert, we enjoyed green tea cakes that we made from scratch while learning all about sake. It was such an enjoyable evening, filled with lots of laughs (we found out we've been holding chopping knives wrong our whole adult lives) and great memories. I highly recommend Melissa!

My wife and I hired Melissa for a private cooking session and we were very impressed with her menu, technique and professionalism. Before we started she made sure to consult with us about our likes, dislikes and food allergies. She also asked about kitchen equipment to ensure that he had everything necessary for a successful outcome. We opted for an heirloom tomato salad with homemade dressing and burrata, followed by seared scallops with chorizo and corn and made from scratch banana bread for dessert. Everything was not only delicious, but she made sure to go slowly and explain the proper cooking techniques as we progressed through each dish. She is also a trained sommelier and paired some very nice selections with our meal. Not only did we have a great meal, we came away from the session with a better understanding of how to make the most out of our recently renovated kitchen. I highly recommend booking a lesson with Melissa -- you won't be disappointed!

Words can't say enough how amazing Chef Melissa Lee is in spirit and in her work. She presented/taught a quick Japanese salad at our For Womxn, By Womxn Summit and was fabulous.

She's that good!

Melissa is a wonderful cooking instructor and chef! My family decided to take a two-hour cooking and baking class with Melissa because her passion for teaching, cooking and baking are inspiring. What an amazing family activity to take her class, even for an 11 year old boy and that's saying something! We came to the class with three different cooking experience levels and we all left happy. We had such a good time (and our tummies left happy!) that my husband and I plan to book more classes as a date night activity. It is hard to top learning together in an engaging environment with a teacher whose passion is like no other. Work with Melissa and you'll be glad you did!
