This class was a gift to my wife as we just celebrated out 35th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the class. The steps were easy to follow, and the food was delicious. We now can bring some fun Ramen making back to our family of 4 kids, who absolutely love Ramen. The downside was the size of the class. It was a bit crowded at the tables, and it felt like instructing that many people got a bit chaotic. Other than that, my wife and I had a fun time.

Our chef was very friendly and efficient. Her instructions were very clear and the class was a joy to be a part of.

My daughter and I had a lovely time with Chef Jen. It was a fun way to start the week of Halloween!

It was fun

We had a great time! Date night was really fun and we enjoyed all the other couples! I would have given 5 stars if chairs or stools would have been provided to eat our meal.

I liked the demonstration and directions were given. I would have liked to have been able to review the recipes as we were cooking. We needed more kitchen utensils, so everyone at our table could complete their tasks. Example, there was only one rolling pin for six people. The class was rushed because there was another class after our group and we had to eat really fast. I burned my tongue. These are minor things that can be changed. Overall, I had a wonderful time. Never would have thought that I could make Dim Sum. My group was fun and encouraging. Chef was a little feisty, knowledgeable, and fun.

Ernie

Overall very informative. Adult only class would be a nice option.. The chef had amazing experience, very informative and knowledgeable. Should have a 5 min late policy. Late guests distracting. Would have liked a little quicker pace. Overall very great seat up. Definitely recommend the experience.

We are very experienced home cooks, 76 yrs old. Jen delivered a fantastic presentation and did a great job with a very diverse group of participants. She improvised several times and provided a great learning experience. WeI would take another class from her anytime.

The French croissants class was excellent. Chef Omei was very helpful and the experience was great. Be prepared for an engaging hands-on class. We learned a lot and had fun. The sweet and savory croissants were delicious.

I took my wife and her sister here . Chef Jenny was amazing and taught us all about the mediterranean cuisine. From the delicious in-house nann bread. To the delicious roasted cauliflower with pine nuts and raisins, and then finally the delicious skewered chicken with a yogurt sauce. Highly recommend this class and the instructor.

Really fun and busy class making pad Thai, deep-fried lemongrass corn fritters, shrimp curry and enjoying coconut rice afterwards. It was nice to review knife skills as well. Great date or special occasion activity.

My husband and I had such a great time. We have been wanting to take a cooking class together and highly recommend it.

Sergio

We had a very enjoyable night and the food was delicious. However, due to the large number of people in our group, we felt like we didn't get as much hands on experience with the actual preparation process as we thought we would going into the class.

Love the class, and the chef was great.

Great class. Learned a lot and the bread was delicious.

The chef was attentive and helpful.

Our instructor was super hands on - taught us some great techniques! Food turned out amazing. We were all impressed!

Very basic class, could have shown more cutting techniques. The classroom was very noisy because they were washing dishes throughout the class. I was expecting a lot more.

Adriane

This is not the chef we had,though the chef we had was great. There was very little information shared with me about where we were actually going. I couldâ€™ve booked that on my own. I was expecting a better experience for my team and while our chef was great, they were preparing for the class after us from the minute we walked in and it was incredibly distracting and noisy. Probably would not book with you again. My mistake

Everyone was friendly (class mates and lead chief) itâ€™s the reason for 2 stars instead of 1. The class was large though and we all had to share everything. For example, there were 16 of us and only 8 cutting boards, 3 working burners and only 8 steaks. The whole meal was split into 2 groups so technically it was a communal meal prep and we all shared the food at the end. All of the ingredients were separated into two groups and we all had to share in preparing everything. The chief read the instructions/recipes aloud, and we all occasionally got to prepare some of the food since again, there were 8 of us (in my group) to prepare the 1 meal. When I signed up to pay $100 for this cooking class, I donâ€™t recall reading anything that said I would be working with others to prepare the dishes. In fact, I signed up for this specific class because it mentioned I could attend it solo instead of others stating it was for couples or pairs. So having to eat after other people wasnâ€™t what I was expecting and definitely not what I wanted to do. I left the event grateful for having been placed into a group of lovely ladies, but again I was initially under the impression I would have my own cooking station to prepare my own meal from start to finish and that I would learn something new about either cooking or tips on kitchen etiquette and I left with nothing new and still hungry. Based on this experience I canâ€™t recommend this experience.

Terrible class with no recipes or notes we could take. Pizza was terrible and chef said she has never made pizza at home

I wanted to give 2.5 stars because in the end I did learned what I wanted but I also realized I could have learned the same thing on You Tube and saved a fee. The teacher rushed through the class so she could shill the products at . Then proceeded to be condescending toward me. I will not be taking any other courses through Cozymeal. You Tube here I come.

We had the resident chef. I wish it was more hands on and a smaller group. She was a great teacher and we had a nice evening. The mirror above the chef's counter was a an awesome idea that should be used more. The camera above the stove was a smart addition. I wish we all could make our own meal then have somewhere to sit and enjoy the meal rather than standing and being rushed to eat. You could tell the staff was rushed towards the end and trying to get out of there for the night. The food was delicious. I would try a different cooking class before going back to this one. Overall I was not impressed. It would also be nice to know that open toed shoes are not allowed ahead of time. We were not allowed to use knives because we were wearing sandles.

Chef omei was not there for our class. A substitute chef was their instead. He didn't know the menu at all and was unprepared and scattered. Right to the very end he had no idea the steps or recipes. Couldn't multi task but the Participants really were good with food and we had fun figuring out the actual ingredients and steps. Chef was nice but for the price and the way this is advertised it was a little bit of a disappointment. The participants were awesome and we made it fun anyways.
