My four daughters and I did this class as a girls night out. We learned to make the pasta dough and how to roll and cut it. We made filling and sauce to go with it. It was very hands on and delicious!! Francesca is a wonderful teacher, explaining process and products as we worked. We all enjoyed the class and the meal.

What a lovely experience. 10/10!! My girlfriend and I booked this for Valentine's Day - pasta making in the morning. We were a bit hesitant to walk into a stranger's home with other strangers (lol), but Chef Francesca made us feel instantly right at home. Not only is she an incredible chef and clearly experienced, but she has a kind, positive soul and clearly loves what she does. Her home is also sweet. Contemporary and heartfelt touches of Italy. She also had cheese and crackers for us to touch on - real parm from Sardinia. We cooked two dishes altogether and they were YUM; portions were generous too...did not eat the rest of the day. So satisfied. Would absolutely recommend and do this again.

Great experience with Chef Francesca. She was a great chef and a lovely host. Such a kind person, and such great food! One note, this class is not as hands on as others I have had in the past. Chef duties are shared, you are not making your own dish from start to finish. Not a bad thing, just important to know if you prefer one type of class over another. Also, the chef chooses your sauces beforehand, so if you’re dead set against any of the sauces, let her know and she can accommodate. Would recommend!

I gifted this pasta making class to my son for his birthday, and it was an absolute hit! Chef Francesca was an excellent teacher—her experience and expertise really shine through in how she guides you through the process. My son absolutely loved every minute of it.
The class reinforced something I've always believed: food is so much better when it's homemade. Now I'm genuinely looking forward to making these dishes at home and putting what we learned into practice.
I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning the art of pasta making. Chef Francesca makes it approachable, fun, and truly memorable. Great gift idea, too!

Chef Francesca provided the most wonderful cooking experience for my daughter & I. She was very upbeat, informative & fun. We were able to experience the Sicilian style food from her region. The hands on practice of making pasta was so fun and gives us confidence to make it on our own. You should definitely book this class, a top choice with Chef Francesca!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our class with chef Francesca. She was warm and friendly and very informative. My husband and I both cook but we still found her very informative. By the end of the evening we felt like we were at a friend’s house for a wonderfully delish meal. We highly recommend this class.

I want to express my gratitude to the Cozymeal Team, especially Lauren, for accommodating my communication needs.
As I mentioned, I am deaf and communicate using American Sign Language. Chef Francesca was patient in working with me and very kind to write everything out for me to read. Not only was Chef Francesca nice to me, but she is also a fantastic chef! She taught me everything I needed to know, and the food we cooked together was incredible. I highly recommend taking her class. I will definitely take her class again to learn different dishes. It's a shame I couldn't give her six stars. Thank you, Chef Francesca!

What a great experience! Chef Francesca was amazing! In addition to being very knowledgeable about cooking, she is a great teacher! We learnt how to make two types of pasta and with different techniques, also made two sauces. She taught us the authentic way and the modern way. Also, everything was taught in detail and with patience so everyone could learn to make pasta firsthand.
I would recommend her class to anyone who loves food and wants to learn cooking in the best way!
